I've been going here for somewhere around a year, every week; after another local cafe closed and one of the employees recommended it to me. All three who work the register know my order since I always get the same thing. The staff is unbelievably nice. When things are slow, they'll stay and chat with us. They have baked goods that change every day, and everything I've ever had there has been absolutely delicious. The coffee is actually good quality; it isn't acid-y, and it has nice flavor. The food is on a level I can't even explain. I crave their breakfast sandwiches and potato pancakes literally every single day. And Jack's brownies have no right to be THAT good for what the base of them is. I love this place, and I hold it close to my heart. :)

A charming store featuring a coffee bar, a diverse rotating food menu, wine tastings, and a delightful array of retail items. We had the personal-pan Detroit style pizza and it did not disappoint. There's potential for them to enhance and adjust the retail shopping aspect of the location. It'll be fascinating to see how that evolves.

This is such a gem of a shop. It's quaint and cozy and the owners are incredible people. My daughter absolutely loves going here. They have built a place for families to go, and have thought of everything to make sure even the littlest people have the best time. Their food is amazing. If you haven't tried their Detroit style pizza, you absolutely have to. It's amazing. I love all their specialty drinks, and of course, my daughter loves the ice cream. Cityline is home to many local handmade artists as well. They have a vast selection of wares perfect.for any occasion. Hands down, one of my all time favorite places to go.

City Line is the absolute best! If you haven't been there before, be sure to check it out. Cute boutique, delicious food--especially breakfast sandwiches & pizza, beverages, and desserts. I have been to a few crafting classes like sip n paint and holiday decorating events, and all have been wonderful! And now there's trivia too! They do it all!

Great place to get a cup of good coffee. Cold brew on tap and the nitro cold brew are my favorites. Fresh made hot coffee every cup. Great customer service, always a smile. A very delightful assortment of breakfast cakes and sweets. They also sell local ice cream from Mannings. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

Cool shop/ cafe , new addition to Carbondale. Visited here back in the winter, got a latte and some cookies. I was disappointed they did not have matcha. The Chai was OK. I hope they offer more plant based menu options such as avocado toasts , smoothies, salads for the spring and summer season. The art is great and basically a gallery. Most for sale I belive, by local artists. Also they have a boutique with some funky clothing. A store as well. A one stop shop!
