What a gem to come to Edwardsville/Glen Carbon! This Korean dessert cafe, located in the same…read moredouble-suite as Poke Munch, has boba tea of all types, espresso drinks, fresh taiyaki (like a warm, fish-shaped waffle stuffed with fruit filling, red bean paste, or nutella), and bingsu (kind of like a snow-textured frozen and shareable dessert, they tell me). The three of us got a traditional milk boba tea, a whipped dalgona coffee boba drink, an apple cinnamon taiyaki, and a Nutella taiyaki (the spouse ordered a red bean paste so I wouldn't steal any bites, but, lucky me, they gave us a Nutella by mistake). EVERYTHING was delicious! The spouse was familiar with taiyaki, but the two I tried were my firsts. They nearly melted in my mouth, they were so perfectly cooked. I got my whipped dalgona at 25% sweetness, and it was perfect. The kiddo's milk tea tastes on Earl Gray, and it was buenísimo, too! I want that next time. I can't wait to come back.

I love their taiyaki. But their boba is a different story. I try three different Boba tea from the…read moreplace and not a single one is good. The milk tea is not creamy enough and the boba is always slightly hard and so bland.

So I added Kruta to my list! First, the building is so cool! It has a unique shape. Inside is nice and inviting and there's a dining area. Don't forget to take a number when you get inside! All the locals knew to do this! The donuts are behind the counter. I was a little discouraged at first when I didn't see them in the glass displays Customer service was great. My only complaint is I only purchased two donuts so they were put in a bag. The employee used parchment paper to grab the donut from the top and most of my icing was left on the paper. Why would you do that?!!! The donuts were delicious! Yummy icing. Soft. I couldn't believe how soft the cake donut was! I will definitely return!!!

The waffle bowl was fresh and crunchy, and never got soggy It gave that classic ice cream shop feel, quick service, good prices, and just an overall vibe that makes you want to come back. Safe to say this won't be my last visit

This is a fun place to bring the kids because of the desserts on display at the counter. My daughter enjoyed picking out a pink macaron. We also tried a vanilla cupcake, and the buttercream was to die for. We left with two chocolate cupcakes decorated like turkeys. ;) They were delicious! Everyone was so friendly and answered all of my questions. There are tables inside and outside, making this a nice, cozy spot to meet up with friends, though we took our drinks to go. My Mayan Mocha with almond milk was excellent, and my daughter loved her hot cocoa with whipped cream. I'll be back!

I've been a lot of places, but the country girl in me remains. So when I saw the mason glasses on the table I knew I was about to eat good. The menu was straight to the point (they have hummus) and that makes me feel like you're sharing your favorite dishes consistently. The drink menu is extensive (because it's a distillery) and there are so many unique things you can try. I had the blackberry lemon press and it was yummy. We also had the sloppy fries, smash burgers (one with signature bacon jam), onion rings, cheesecake, and carrot cake. It was all very flavorful. They have a store attached if you want to take some drinks home & they have a virgin menu for your Christian friends. The dining room is well lit and you can eat outside on good weather days. Even in bad weather days, it's a nice view outside with only glass between you and outdoors. Staff were great and service was timely. I would say the food is cooked to order & you don't need to tell them how to prepare a burger. It comes out juicy and medium well to perfection. They also have a BBQ kick to the ketchup they serve. Oh, there's a Rte 66 sign around the corner if you're just passing through (but I get the sense they know if you're not from around those parts). I hope your dining experience is as good as mine was!

I went in with intentions of trying just about one of everything and I did. I think I got a lot for $23. I also like that every item has a price clearly shown. I was welcomed nicely and not rushed with my choices. Made small talk and came home to sample my stash. First, it all tastes like it's cooked with love and butter, but not overtly sugary! I love the lemon popovers and the cranberry cookies are fabulous and more hearty, not too sweet. Just what winter ordered. Also, shout out to the coconut cream pie... that crust is like layers from heaven. More to come...Keep this gem in Maryville! I will update more as I get through my "GET YOUR SWEET ON" buffet. It's going to take a while to eat. Note to self, I love cake, I love cream horns, and like Cookie Monster I love cookies from the Sweet Bakery Creation! Also I always ask what I'm getting before I buy. If it has several layers of buttercream, I'm going to know it's sweet, but I'm ok with that... they offer a lot of stuff not always common in everyday bakeries so explore your options like I did. They are a mix of pastries more so than a donut shop. Everyone deserves some pinafores and extra special goodies.
