The food was delicious. Staff was friendly & efficient. Was a great atmosphere which made our time very enjoyable! We will be going back!
I am so happy this place has opened up in the heart of Petersburg. Their coffee is delicious and you’ll taste the difference right away. Don’t forget to try one of their fresh baked goods – always a new variety to try!
Amazing atmosphere, excellent service, and great coffee! This coffee shop is so cute and cozy and is a wonderful place to hangout and read while enjoying a latte 🙂 Tracey is wonderful! Highly recommend!
I’ve been coming here for months now usually about once-twice a week and unfortunately I feel as if the quality has declined over time. The espresso has become more bitter, milk too foamy for a standard latte, and the hot chocolate I ordered today tasted like warm milk. I’d say 1/5th of the time recently I’ve been disappointed, when before the quality was superb. Hopefully the Talisman can work on their consistency. I will say I appreciate the house made syrups and milk alternative options.
We stopped in yesterday for a coffee ☕ and tea . I also had a Chai Tea Molasses cookie. Cookie was really good. Tea was hot.. Coffee was warm not close to hot. I went back to the counter and I mentioned it to the girl at the counter. She offered to microwave it to heat it, seriously at the price you charge you want to microwave the coffee. Definitely not! She never even offered to make a fresh one. If this is your way of doing business I really don’t see the need to support your business.
2. Rolens Brothers Institute of Music
Address: 1430 S 8th St, Springfield, IL 62703 , Menard County , Illinois , United States
Stopped in today to check out some pianos for my daughter. I was dressed in work clothes (covered in paint, looking homeless)and if I’m being honest, I expected to be ignored. Not only was the store very welcoming regardless of my unkempt appearance, but Larry spent at least 30 minutes chatting with me and explaining all of my options in great detail. I can’t even put into words how helpful he was, for a non pianist like myself. I am super impressed with this store and will be going back soon to buy a piano.
Great selection, always has what I need in stock. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, this shop rocks
Going to get my guitar that i bought used there to get it fixed i assumed they would have fixed any imperfections before they put it on a shelf for purchase
Nice store plenty of gear in stock , staff was pleasant , prices were reasonable and they even had some used instruments for cheapskate s like me hahaa I will go back and give them some business, even though online shopping may save you a few nickel s or couple bucks shopping local and having our local business s right down the street is well worth it to me .
Good store for all your music needs. Good selection and prices.
Ignored from the time I walked into the store until I left.Walked a circle throughout looking for help only to find employees chatting it up. Both looked up at me and quickly turned away and continued talking to each other. Will never get my business.
The guest experience was alright, but after going in, and returning my item the staff took my return and assured me it was completed, I left and enjoyed the day, more than a week later and I have discovered the staff I talked to must have processed my return improperly since I have never received my refund on my bank statement and when I tried to call in to get the situation corrected I was told they could not find my transaction. Edit… The owner has personally reached out to me and has worked to correct the situation.
went to get my guitar set up and it came back out of tune, disappointed to say the least, reading other reviews it appears the staff might need more technical experience or organization
Took in a brand new bass to get a pickup replaced. Not a scratch on it, never played once. The supposedly simple pickup replacement took a week and a half only for them to give me back my new bass with the back of it covered in scratches and a huge glob of dried glue stuck to the fretboard that won’t come off. They absolutely wrecked my new bass before I even had a chance to play it. Worst possible experience. I am sick to my stomach about how poorly they treated my equipment and would recommend avoiding this place at all costs.
5. The Music Shoppe Inc.
Address: 2940 Constitution Dr, Springfield, IL 62704 , Menard County , Illinois , United States
Quality Instruction and a friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Good place for renting or buy music instruments
Next door working
Every single time I come here it’s nothing but problems. Being misled by an employee on a price of an instrument. After calling the day before getting one price, to going there getting another price, and then her calling back and giving me yet another price. To finally I had to just sign up for something because I was told they didn’t have any available. Was told today they have books and now they don’t have any available.. They basically couldn’t tell me when or where they could get another. I highly suggest going to another store.
*update*- the owner took care of all of my issues and is addressing the problem. Nice to see people still care!
Selections ok but lacks depth if you follow… staff is okay but not engaging at all.
Staff is helpful and they have lots of instruments to view. One bad thing is that they always seem to make you feel like they are waiting for you to steal something. I realize there is lots of theft that happens but you don’t need to follow me around while I browse.
This place will go the way of the rock shop if they keep treating customers like suspects.
It was not like this at the Stevenson location.
6. 1st and 3rd Boutique and Wine Bar
Address: 105 S 7th St, Petersburg, IL 62675 , Menard County , Illinois , United States
Good wine and great atmosphere. Go upstairs and play a LP and chill.
Great place for live music!
1st and 3rd is truly a labor of love and one that is anchored to a resounding sense of community. Maggie and Liz have poured their hearts into this space, eager to build upon Petersburg’s charm, and it shows in every way possible! Whether you are looking for a place to visit with friends while enjoying a glass of wine, hoping to catch live local music surrounded by historic ambience, or simply looking to shop all the adorable clothing, jewelry and home decor they offer, you can do all of that and more within their beautifully-decorated walls. Their upstairs level is the perfect gathering space as well for casual get-togethers or to rent out for more formal events.
Great place for wine. Bring your own food, they don’t mind. Ping pong table upstairs.
Really a nice addition to the downtown square. Enter and you encounter a quaint boutique at the front. Walking towards the back you find a nice wine bar. Up a nice staircase and you find a large open room with plenty of seating and we were treated with live music.
7. The Luthier Shoppe
Address: 1717 Wabash Ave, Jerome, IL 62704 , Menard County , Illinois , United States
Mark has fixed my guitar super quickly and did a better job than our guy in Los Angeles! Thanks, Mark!!
Mark is a guitar wizard.
Mark is phenomenal!
Showed up at 10am on a Friday when shop was supposed to open. Doors were locked and no one showed up while we waited. I suggest you call ahead to make sure they are actually open during the times they say they are.
Took the specific info with us, bass guitar make and model, and he ordered a case for delivery by Christmas. It came in and it wasn’t nearly the size needed. He implied that the fact we got the wrong case is our fault. Hmmmm. Not a good experience.
Expected better with all the, “Mark knows his stuff reviews.”

The aisle are small and crowded. staff is helpful.
Staff is helpful. Prices are fair .dont always have what you need
Fresh produce lots frozen foods
Not good service. Hire more people
Very cramped. Low quality of everything. And they underpay their employees. As a result employees are not dedicated to servicing their customers.
Most employees are rude including the store manager
