Here are reader vote results so far for favorite coffee shop in southwest Illinois
And the votes continue to trickle in.
On Monday I reported that our top four coffee shops were Sacred Grounds, The Abbey, Goshen Coffee and Balance Coffee & Tea.
As of Thursday morning, the same four shops top our poll. The only difference is that Balance has moved past Goshen to claim the third-place spot.
Here are the total votes (so far) for our current top 10 shops:
Sacred Grounds Cafe: 417
The Abbey Espresso Bar & Café: 315
Balance Coffee & Tea: 102
Goshen Coffee Café: 97
The Red Porch: 76
Café de Shell: 63
Sugar High Bakery & Café: 47
Joe & Onie’s: The Art of Carry-Out: 36
Verona Coffee Company: 16
Bean Tree Café: 13
Where are my fellow coffee drinkers? I had hoped to see more of a competition among these great coffee shops.
A little motivation: With today’s rainy weather, what could be better than a nice, hot cup o’ joe to enjoy while working, reading (my preference) or chatting with a friend?
Grab a pastry while you’re at it. Dunking something sweet is always delightful.
You still have a full week to vote as many times as you want in this poll, so pour yourselves some more coffee and vote away.
I will continue to provide the updates.
