I have previously gone to Cafe de Blaire am so happy that this location opened up. The service is top-notch and I love how Sunny rotates ice cream flavors on a seasonal basis and experiments with new flavors so you will keep on coming back! She also does the same with her lattes as well. I also appreciate Sunny being willing to help out on both local and national community initiatives such as Bike MS. I plan my bike rides in Alton around going here as a post-ride stop for it's not too far from the bike trail!

Love this place! Great customer service and delicious açaí bowls. They also have Kaldi’s coffee and it is always brewed to perfection.

This was a welcome addition to East Alton. We have had the açaí bowls, ice cream, and bubble tea. We have loved everything we’ve had. It’s been too hot for coffee, but as a hockey mom, I’m sure I will be here often. The owner is very kind and easy to chat with.
