Rachel & Co. Coffee House 84 East Ferguson Avenue, Wood River, IL 62095

"Rachel is super sweet and very knowledgeable about her trade! Several flavor options and sizes. I haven’t had any of the food items, but they look great!"

"Today was a chilly, rainy day. Ava & I went ice skating in East Alton and decided to make Rachel & Co. Coffee Shop, our next stop on our Christmas Adventure Day together. Ava had been impressed with this coffee shop because she had heard good things from some of her teachers at school after they had received a special treat from Rachel's before Christmas break. I was also impressed as soon as we walked in the door. I love all the smells of a coffee shop, even though my idea of a coffee is a Mocha Frappe from McDonald's. I'm always up for trying something new, so we asked for recommendations, and they did not disappoint! Ava got the Christmas Cookie Iced Coffee, and I got the Frosty the Snowman Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha. McDonald's Frappes were a distance memory from the very first sip. I wish I could pack up Rachel's and move it to Gillespie, IL, where I work. Although I'm afraid too much of my paycheck would find its way to their cash register if it was located closer. Very affordably priced though, in my opinion . I love the cozy corner with the electric fireplace, just begging you to sit and sip next to it. Plus, the random decor and fidgets laying around added a nice touch and a bit of whimsy to the place. I also added a sticky bun to our order because it was calling to me and my empty stomach through the countertop display. It was served warmed, which made it even that much better. Every fork full was a delight for my taste buds. So delicious! I would highly recommend trying Rachel's for yourself. As I mentioned, I am not much of a coffee buff, but I do know friendly customer care when I experience it and a place with a great vibe and potential to just keep getting better and better. Thank you, and I wish this company all the very best!"

"I am going to make this review, short and direct. Rachel & Co. is a charming little coffee house that serves up a good cup of coffee. They also offer sweet treats, delicious breakfast sandwiches and a variety of light lunch items. They've got a relaxing patio for when the weather is cooperative and a comfortable dining inside as well. If you've got work to do, they have free Wi-Fi available. One of the best things, is they are dog friendly. I've been multiple times and at each visit, the staff has been charming aka friendly and professional. It's a great little local coffee shop, that I highly recommend."

"Can’t say enough great things about this place along with Rachel herself. Very friendly and was excited to share recommendations and details about menu items. The vibe at this place is perfection. Loved the open air feel on a sunny day with some outdoor seating options too. I plan to be back soon. Point system available for drink purchases."
