Amazing spot to get vegan treats! The service was extraordinary. I brought my three young boys for cupcakes and was treated with so much empathy and kindness and respect. It really made my day. Definitely will be back!

I've eaten here several times but will never again.This place is run by an actual cult, and they don't pay their employees. They've lost several lawsuits recently about not paying their employees.

Longbranch is one of the best restaurants in the area for fresh vegetarian food, coffee, service, and ambiance. I have been a patron here for years and they never miss. Elaine and all of the staff are incredibly kind and attentive. The food is fresh, delicious, and fairly priced. I’m surprised that many think the portions are small because I almost always leave with a to-go box. For non-vegetarian diners, I can assure you that you will find something on the menu that you like. Their food is so good.The staff also make people feel like they are a part of the community even if they are only passing through. Longbranch is a Carbondale gem for so many reasons and they’re one of the first places I recommend when people are visiting.Vegetarian options: Wide range of options from avocado toast to falafels.Dietary restrictions: Easy to find vegan vegetarian or gluten free options.Parking: Weekend parking is free. During the week it is incredibly affordable.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Elaine loves kids and will always pull out special toys for them to play with or just talk to them.

It was overpriced for the area and portions. However the place was clean and it had a good atmosphere. The service was a bit lacking.

My favorite place to eat in Southern Illinois. It's especially nice on warm days when you can sit outside.

The lemon olive oil cake I ordered for my daughter’s birthday was outstanding and so delicious! Love all the bakery goods at Longbranch, but their cakes surpass all others in the area.
