Twenty-four coffee shops.

That’s how many places made it onto our newest online reader poll.

It’s more than enough caffeine to give anyone the shakes. Don’t even get me started on the caffeine withdrawal (shudder).

I thank you for the nominations.

So here it is, your opportunity to vote for what you think is the best coffee shop in southwest Illinois.

Vote as many times as you like.

And some of you will.

(Hey, I know there are people out there who stay up late to vote repeatedly — I saw the online activity in the pizza poll. I’m not judging … much. You do you.)

Here’s our unscientific, just-for-fun poll. It will be open through Thursday, Feb. 24.

I’ll provide updates every few days or so.

Now go get a cup of coffee and happy voting.
