Was User at Post Commons a mag?
We ordered the slinger and oh my goodness Monte Cristo. I added an egg. I love this vibe and the view. I love the intimacy in a wide open space. I love the food selection and from flavor to presentation, it?s a magical chef creation. I love the tea andherbal offerings as well as coffee. I have been here often. Would love to see original photos of the post office. View all feedback.

What Art A dislikes about Post Commons:
The food was ok, some dishes much better than others. Menu too small, for the size of the place, they should have a more substantial menu. Coffee was ok, meaning the cold brews and iced lattes. As I mentioned a couple things on the menu were very very good, the rest were ok. We came here for the ambiance, so cool, just for that I’m giving 5 stars, it’s worth popping in. It’s a converted post office very well decorate... View all feedback.

I absolutely adore this place! I've always appreciated their excellent tea and delicious food. The ambiance is consistently relaxing and welcoming. So, when I discovered they host events while planning my baby shower, I was thrilled! The Haley room is stunning! Our event coordinator, Ashley, was amazing—so easy to collaborate with, communicative, and incredibly accommodating. I can't thank her enough. All in all, this venue is a true gem in Alton.

Post Commons is located in a former post office building, offering plenty of space. Even when it's busy, the atmosphere remains pleasantly lively without being overwhelming, which I find ideal for a café. The service was excellent; the staff was very patient while I decided on my order. Both the drinks and food were delicious!

Visiting as part of our honeymoon. Ended up coming for breakfast. The Post Toast is excellent! We adored the atmosphere. Completely enjoyed just sitting and holding hands after breakfast.

I love places like this. Unique food in a unique location. Got the French toast and a gingerbread latte. Latte came out fast and was lukewarm. I prefer my lattes sweeter, but it was still good. My French toast was also good but not amazing. I wish there hadbeen more syrup and ricotta on it. My bacon, however, was PERFECT. I ate half my dish and ended up splitting my mom's burritowith her; delicious but spicy in spots. Overall it was a fun experience but the food could have been better for the price wepaid. Be prepared to wait in line forever on a Saturday morning.
