Cristaudo's is a local Carbondale bakery and bar with plenty of seating and a variety of tasty cookies and muffins. The staff is friendly and helpful, offering excellent customer service. Despite occasional computer issues, the atmosphere remains warm and inviting, with great music and treats like date walnut cookies, pink cookies, chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies, and magic bars. The owners are back in charge, making it a part of Carbondale history. The menu includes vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore options, along with unique coffees, sodas, juices, and even a single beer.
Customers can also buy frozen to-go items like soups and lasagna, which are reasonably priced and perfect for home or gifts. The bakery is close to the train station, next to a vinyl record shop and a bar with a patio called "the cellar." Cristaudo's is known for its moist and fresh baked goods, and the decorations on custom cakes have impressed many, making it a popular spot in Southern Illinois. The commitment to supporting local businesses helps strengthen the Carbondale community. Recent reviews highlight the delicious New York Style cheesecakes, the friendly staff, and the welcoming atmosphere, especially for families. The blueberry muffins are considered some of the best ever, and the breakfast sandwiches are highly recommended.
