I love Abe's and I love how they are connected to the Lincoln Theatre! We always stop by Abe's when…read morewe are in town because they always have a flavor for whatever holiday it is. They also have a "Belleville Blend" which is caramel corn mixed with Jalapeño white cheddar. During the different downtown Belleville events they are usually handing out samples which usually reels us into the store as well LOL. During the chili cook off they were selling boozy beverages which I'm going to remember for the next event down there so I can maybe bypass the annoying token process. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Went here on a whim and glad I stopped! Everyone's super friendly and there's so much variety!…read moreCherry is delicious and under $5 for a small. They also have samples which are much appreciated. Thanks!

The food offerings have really gone downhill. I ordered the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green…read morebeans & corn. The fried chicken was barely warm and the appearance reflected the oil had not been changed in a while. The green beans were bland, the potatoes and corn were good. The brown gravy was also barely warm. The second helping of chicken was hot but again the taste was marginal. Took in the tulip trail. One would think they would have reduced the admission the later it got in the event. $38 for 2 and clearly a fourth of the tulips were dead already. Lesson learned next year come the first week to see all the tulips in bloom. Skip the restaurant and dine in Belleville.

I obviously enjoy shopping. The Popshelf stores have been on my radar for a few months and I…read morerecently had the chance to stop into this Fairview Heights location while I was out and about. I live minutes from the Chesterfield one but here we are. At first glance it's like if a 5 Below and a dollar store had a baby. I'd say the main sections are Health & Beauty, Cleaning Supplies, Candy & Snacks, Crafts, and Home Décor. There are other items sprinkled in like toys and pool floats! It's really a bizarre collection of items. The employees were friendly. I imagine they were there to stock the shelves because the store has self-checkout where you don't even interact with the employees. I found this enjoyable but I can't say I'd rush back unless I had some kids with me and wanted to buy them useless cheap stuff.

Overall, this is one of our favorite places to visit and we always have a great time.

Crowds were manageable and any line we stood in (whether it was for the tractor to take us to the orchard or in the bakery to buy goods) didn't take long to go through. Loved that there was no additional fee to ride the tractors to the orchards. The one downside is that while there is a bakery, there is no food stall to buy lunch or snacks like chips or hot dogs. If you plan on spending a portion of your day there, you'll want to be sure to bring a cooler with food. We made the mistake of assuming there would be things to buy for lunch and we left starving after snacking on a couple of apple cider donuts.

Found this place online and saw their wide variety of fresh produce and was on my way! It's a cute shop with a lot to offer! Fruit and veggies greet you at the door. The nice man behind the counter gave me plenty of info about when they get more products and when business is in season. I probably will be coming back next month to try the other flavors of preserves! Parking is a little bit of a squeeze but nothing to worry too much about. You won't regret coming! I tried both spreads as soon as I got home and LOVE THEM BOTH!!

I seen the sign heading to Bruce's auto repair, so…read moresince it looked new and is a local business I decided to make a quick stop in and ended up grabbing more produce than I expected ( I was like a kid in a candy store but with produce).The man inside (I didn't ask his name) was super nice and pleasant during my store visit, Now my only bad experience was parking. Though I was in there a short 10-15mins if that caused a bit of a conflict with the woman in the bakery next door. As there is minimum parking available in the lot and street parking well I wasn't sure if it was allowed. The bakery lady went out of her to inform me that next time I visited I can't park in front of her trash cans because it's a fire hazard. I told her ok I just ran in and the man inside said it was ok. She said no it's not you're blocking my cars and my trash cans so it's a fire hazard. I just told her don't worry about it I was going to go into her bakery to spontaneously buy goodies but now I'll never give her my business!! Better yet during business hrs she should park her vehicles on the street so customers know they have a place to park! With that being said if there's no parking in the lot you'll have to park on the street but you'll then understand why I didn't. So Produce store is a good place to stop in and support a local small business
