6 Best Coffee Shops near Carbondale

“This is a drinks-focused place that has good seating and at least a few outlets for laptops, etc. They don't have much in the way of food, though--mostly packaged baked goods and some random gas station-type snacks (Pringles, Ritz peanut butter crackers, etc). Service was great!Specifically: I have to shout out to Common Grounds for keeping their cool and staying friendly despite an absurd slam on a Monday morning for the eclipse. There were probably 50 people in the dining room with 3 people behind the counter rushing around to make drinks, but they remained friendly and kind, and my drink (a dirty chai) was still delicious. Thank you!

Parking: It shares a lot with what seems like a feed store, and though it was busy today, it seems like there is probably plenty of parking on a typical day.“

“We had a great meal here—the food was definitely the highlight. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. That said, we did have to wait a bit to be seated, and the restaurant was really busy, so the service felt a bit slow and scattered at times. It’s understandable given how packed they were, but it did impact the overall experience slightly. Still, if you're not in a rush and want a tasty meal, it's worth a visit.“

“The best coffee shop in the world they have. They have the best crew. And the best coffee.“

“I love this coffee shop. It is in SIU's Morris Library and has hours specific to when the library is open. It is usually closed when the students are off for breaks, too. They have a punch card, so the more drinks you buy, you get one free eventually. The coffee is good, staff is very friendly and they will do special requests. Sometimes you get $1 coffee in late afternoon, which is awesome.“

“Starbucks has pretty good coffee I'll give it Starbuck gets 100%best coffee ever“

“They have pup 🐶 cups! Staff was extremely friendly!“
