I know they are moving. The place neededA good cleaning, restroom needed attention. One toilet did not flush well. Coffee was good but dirty dishes were piled up and no clean forks were out, has to ask for them.

Great food, check. Great service, check. Wonderful environment, double check. My husband really likes the Plaid Coffe, which I believe they roast themselves, and I really like their iced tea, which has free refills. I often have their breakfast burritos or their lunch sandwiches, but today I came in for a coffee and a snack. I had the strawberry jam shortbread, which consists of a heart-outline shortbread cookie on top of a solid-heart shortbread cookie and a thin layer of strawberry jam. It was delightful. I also brought a loaf of cranberry walnut bread home we with me. (Two slices were gone before I got home.) I had a flavored latte, too, but I mixed feelings about that. I've had their lattes before, though it has been awhile, and they were always great. Today it had a funny taste--maybr old burnt milk in their steamer? I don't really know, but that was disappointing. Still, may have been a just-today fluke. I would still recommend them, and I'll still go again! It's a great place to work for a couple of hours when I need to get away from the office--plenty of tables with outlets!

They have the best home made breads and pastries. Everyone who works there is so nice.
Artisan is an amazing bakery/coffee shop in Edwardsville! It is locally owned by a hard working mother-son duo and you can tell as soon as you walk in! The food is amazing and so fresh. They get most of their main ingredients from local farmers or vendors.Not only is it a great place to read, eat and hang out, it's also a great place to work!!

First time here and it's such a nice spot. The inside is very "college town" but the clientele is varied. Suited businessmen, students, retirees, and everyone in between are visible here. The coffee is supplied by Plaid coffee and definitely seems to be of better quality. Forgoing my usual pour over I enjoyed a vanilla latte that hit the spot. I was hoping to try some of the baked goods but it seems like early afternoon is way too late because the sweet treats case is barren, which is a good sign. Instead I opted for a burrito which was simple and to the point the potatoes were slightly too raw but otherwise it was a great savory meal. Food is ordered at the counter and brought to your table or the bar in my case. Everything was prompt and hot. From here I can see many individual items for sale to-go, like tea and bread. There are also cubbies with other food items along with shirts and brewing accessories. Everything compliments each other. I can't say I'll be coming up here anytime soon, just because its out of the way for me. But next time I'm in Edwardsville I will definitely make the effort to stop by, hopefully earlier to get something sweet.

Delicious breakfast burrito at this cute little bakery/cafe! The chorizo/chihuahua cheese/scrambled egg burrito was perfectly grilled and super savory! I also tried the bread pudding with cream cheese icing and that didn't do it for me. I think I'm just used to bread pudding being warm and this was refrigerated. But, I'll be back to try some of the other pastries! Only complaint was the restroom needed some cleaning and attention.

Friendliness of service only eclipsed by creative-tasty soup and sandwiches! Thank you!

The quality of baked goodies are the best in this area. Each selection is a little pricy but when you bit in, you'll understand the craftsmanship and love going into each pastry is worth coming here. For my favorite breads, I call an order in and know when to pick it up. Atmosphere is pleasant if you're dinning in. Everything is top quality. My only con is, early birds grab up the best and the shelves are slow to reload if they do at all. I recommend 222.

Excellent location, really good treat and really good coffee! Promptly served...a true gem here in downtown Edwardsville. Very quick service and very courteous staff...wonder place to hang and chill on a Saturday morning!
Love this place. Had a turkey-provolone croissant most recently and it was wonderful.

I've been coming here on Saturday mornings for breakfast and sourdough bread and its such a great spot. The breakfast burrito and cinnamon rolls are great! I like that they will slice the sourdough loaves for you, they make really good sandwiches and french toast. I would really like to take a bread class here when they are available--please schedule more classes!

Artisan Bakery, “222” is truly a special place. There are so many choices and tasty offerings. We are partial to to the expertly made cappuccinos, croissants and perfect bagels, a Tuesday offering.But, what makes this place wonderful are the owners. Kim and Trevor have created a welcoming refuge. It’s comforting to see so many regulars who have become friends. An unknown fact to many is their relentless caring and giving to our community.Finally, we can only say thank you and well done!

Quality is slipping. It was always slow. Now it is faster but burritos arrived scorched on one side, and the bathroom is just not a pleasant experience, especially for menstruating people, with the trash can located far from the toilet. Coffee is fine. Other places in town are better. That said, the fruit pastries are good. We had apple tarts that were perfect, on the same day our burritos were over toasted.We are looking for other regular brunch spots.
