Not your typical east coast cannoli but very good. Cinnamon roll- very fluffy which was weird but good. Icing was buttery and sweet. Not a lot of cinnamon flavor though. Double chocolate muffin- not a fan. Hard to describe. Chocolate was a little bitter and a strange aftertaste. Place was a little too expensive for me and food was a little too average. Probably won't be back.

We stopped into Wazo's shortly after 11am wanting to get our dogs some post hike ice cream, not realizing they don't actually open until 12pm. We walked back to our truck when I'm assuming it was the owner, stopped us and asked if we wanted ice cream and he'd be happy to serve us since he was already there. The pups loved their pup cups and we got a peanut butter shake which was delicious and perfect for such a hot day. The owner was very friendly and chatted with us afterwards. If I could give 10 stars I would. Whenever we're in the area we will definitely come back

A local frozen custard shop that serves delicious varieties of concretes, sundaes, and milkshakes…read more I have been here once and had a nice experience. They are known for their Banana Cream Pie concrete. I ordered a Tropical and a Cotton Candy concretes. The order was taken at the window on the right and served at the window on the left. The flavors and the texture of the frozen custard were decent. My Tropical concrete had banana, coconut, and pecans. My son liked his Cotton Candy concrete. Both hit the spot. Wazo is a classic, neighborhood institution that's popular among the locals. I was there in a weeknight and it was busy. They are open late. The service was good and the prices are very reasonable. Check them out.

I came with friends and they ordered a cold brew and the red riding (a signature seasonal drink) and they both loved their selection. The food selection is limited so the coffee/beverages are truly the star. We ordered some bagels with cream cheese and they were warm and toasty. They have a chess set on one of the tables and a shelf with games. It was peaceful and the person who took our order was really sweet and helpful! We loved everything he recommended. It seems like a great place to cowork or grab a coffee with friends.

If you have never heard Winston's Bagels, let me introduce you...Foodie, meet Winston. Winston,…read moremeet foodie. You can now fall in love. Winston's Bagels are LEGENDARY in Carbondale, IL. The genius behind the tasty treat is Winston. He's a hippy 60(?) something man with a food cart who, in my day set up his mobile shop on "The Strip" - Carbondale's main bar scene. I hear he's moved onto Grand now, but wherever he is, YOU NEED TO BE THERE TOO. Here's the scoop... Winston comes out at night, just about the time the college kids are bar hopping. He sets up his small mobile cart, and starts cranking out The. Best. Bagel. Treat. You. Will. Ever. Eat. Winston grills the bagels over charcoal, which gives the bread a traditional char taste and creates this fantastic crunch when you bite into it. He drizzles the bagel with margarine (I think it's Parkay from the yellow and blue squeeze bottle), and generously tops each bagel side with plain cream cheese. Then the magic happens. You choose your toppings. I'm partial to the Everything: apple, cinnamon, sunflower seeds, cucumber, red onion, garlic powder, bacon bits, and raisins. It's the perfect morsel to have when you're out drinking in Carbondale - every college student learns this lesson to perfection at SIUC - or even if you just have a late night craving for a sweet / savory treat. Of course as alumni (Class of '95!), we all crave a Winston Bagel now and then, and when we go back it's a must eat treat! I've tried to make them at home, but it's just not the same. It's missing Winston's je nais se quoi. He generously doles out hugs, stories, jokes, and charm along with his bagels. Plus the man is a total genius. He charges $2.25 for a bagel. That fits any pocket book - and more often than not - you give him three dollars and tell him to keep the change. The man is making some dough. I hear he takes a couple vacations a year just with his tip money. Go fall in love with Winston The Bagel Man. He'll be there in Carbondale grilling his bagels into the wee hours of the morning!

I noticed that Winston's Bagels has 5 stars with 11 reviews, and I am not surprised one bit. This…read moreis the ONE THING every SIU-C graduate talks about and craves after they move away. At last visit, they were $2.25 each and still worth every bite. Winston sets up shop across the street from Pinch Penny Liquors near Saluki Bookstore. Options are the same as I remember: Cream Cheese, Garlic Salt, Butter, Ground Cinnamon, Cucumber, Apple, Raisins, Sunflower Seeds, Bacon Bits, Onions. I used to get sunflower seeds, butter, and cucumber but recently tried all-but-onion and am not quite sure I can go back. Remember cash only, and they don't break $20s. Definitely tip Winston or any of his helpers running the cart! Truly an institution in Carbondale!
