Grounds for praise.

“Love this place! Great service, food, and coffee. Awesome environment to work from or just to stop in for some gelato with the family."

Austin
“ I got a coffee and a raspberry turnover and let me just say both were amazing! Not only that but everyone there was so nice, even just the people sitting and enjoying their own drinks! Everything was clean, and the atmosphere was great. 10/10 will be going again when I'm in the area.”

Marina
“Cozy without being pretentious. Good coffee, kind staff, and a wide range of treats. My daughter loved the kids area.”

Dave
“The atmosphere of this little place is fantastic. A wide selection of bakery items. It was nice to have a long visit with a friend. The chairs and seating is comfortable and nicely spaced. Everything was clean. Very child friendly. I loved the reading nook for kids. It has a great vibe to bring a down town to life again.”

Alisa
"Best coffee shop in Southern IL, friendly staff, and delicious coffee. Has light snacks to eat in or to go. This is now our regular stop when traveling on I-70. An hour stop always turn into an hour and a half. Plus they have gelato. You can't beat an afternoon Affogato. Stop in and relish in the glory of the Gypsy Queen, you will not be disappointed."
