7 Best Coffee Shops in Edwardsville

“Employees are very friendly and patient! Also, we have went twice now and received amazing gluten free bakery items. My 6 year has celiac disease and this absolutely makes her so happy. They also have items marked gluten free in the cooler and the menu as well. Employees are also knowledgeable about it. I couldn’t recommend them enough and want to thank them for being inclusive with the gluten free options! ❤️“

“Stopped in because I needed To use the bathroom as the gas station down the street is absolutely filthy. Had a strawberry rhubarb muffin on a whim and discovered one of the absolute best muffin I’ve ever eaten in my life. Srsly will be thinking about this muffin for days lol. I would get it warm next time tho“

“It's great to have a Starbucks on campus! Sometimes the line is a bit long, but most of the time it's not unbearable. My only complaint would be the number of times I've gotten a caramel frappuccino instead of the caramel ribbon crunch frappe.“

“I’m so happy this place has weaved in and out of my existence for the past two and a half decades. The guitar is still there. The chess boards. The giant art. And really cool employees who give extra muffins to hungry bike riders at close of day. Thanks for making a warm and inviting place all these years later, Sarah with an H (what else?)“

“I’m so excited to have Cafe Birdie here in Edwardsville! I have Celiac Disease which makes dining out a health risk instead of an enjoyable experience with friends and family. With that, I rarely dine out. Cafe Birdie has multiple gluten free options and takes GF precautions in the kitchen including switching of gloves and a GF prep station. Their sweet potato fries are delicious and are pan baked, not fried in a “community” fryer where it would get cross contaminated. I love that they have a GF muffin of the day and GF baguettes. Most places only offer sliced sandwich bread so having a different option was nice and it tasted great. ( I had the Tomato Confit on grilled baguette) Today’s muffin was a sweet cornbread with pecans and bacon. I split it with my son who enjoyed it as much as I did. The customer service was great and a special shout out to Addi (hope I spelled that correctly) who took extra time answering all my questions about the menu! Great job Cafe Birdie! We will definitely return soon.“

“I go here like twice a week and I've never been disappointed. I usually just get some kind of boba, but it's the only boba in town that I've particularly liked. The strawberrry fruit tea and the hong kong milk tea are to die for. Most things on the menu run sweet, but they warn you about that and you can adjust your order accordingly. The girls are all super nice and even the guy at the poke munch counter greets me when I come in :) the days they have kpop playing inside are my favorite! It's never taken me more than 10 minutes to get my drink after ordering, so I stop in before work a lot.“

“Are you hungry? Go here.
Do you need options? Go here.
They have one of the BEST salads and their sandwiches are awesome also. Did I mention that the employees are super kind? They don't make you feel uncomfortable or awkward and I'm both of those things so I would know. If you are looking for an awesome chai tea or a real tasty salad, try Teaspoons, you won't be disappointed.“
