Post Commons

I LOVE POST COMMONS!!!!!
Post Commons has been a staple in my life for years! The building is incredible and the staff are so friendly, accommodating, talented, etc.
My favorite drink of theirs is the Lavender Fog and their variety of bakery items have yet to disappoint!
I am looking forward to attending their wedding expo this next weekend! I am always finding excuses to drive up from STL for some Post Commons :)

I was checking out Alton because a co-worker recommended visiting the nearby state park. However, since I started my day super late, it was getting darker when I arrived in Alton. So I ended up checking out this coffee shop instead, and boy, I was so surprised at how huge this place was. I guess this shop was a post office back in the day, so the interior is spacious. I think I also saw that it can be an event venue. I'm unsure, but you can rent this event space...

Let me tell you that other than how spacious and huge this place is, they have two open bars- one for coffee and the other for drinks--what a clever way. I ordered a butterscotch latte with chai scone for a snack. The latte was so delicious, with its strong taste, butterscotch, and espresso taste. The chai scone was perfectly baked, and you can taste the chai flavor perfectly.

This whole coffee shop is such a vibe. I liked it a lot, and I highly recommend this shop if you're ever in Alton, IL!

This place had what is probably the best cup of drip coffee we have ever had. We have traveled a lot, and been in a lot of coffee shops and this one wins out. Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful (we asked for local lunch tips and they gave us a great one), and the atmosphere was great. We highly recommend Post Commons if you happen to find yourself in Alton.

The Post Commons is an amazing venue for hosting any event, large or small. As a local balloon company, we have done some amazing parties here! The tall ceilings, wooden accent wall and open concept allow for endless possibilities when decorating your event. We have also hosted a personal party here and the coordination from the venue was seamless and informative. We would definitely recommend this location for your next event if you are looking for that show stopping feel!

Very unique coffee shop! I ordered the strawberry mocha (iced) and it was delicious!! This place is huge and has lots to look at while you're there. Great place to study or catch up with friends. I most definitely would recommend this place!

Super cool space! Hard to find a spot to sit and park on the weekends because it is so packed. The food seemed super fresh! Not picture but their fries are sooo yummy, its a mixture of potato/sweet potato fries and their spicy and it almost tastes like olgas snackers seasoning... 10/10! The workers were very friendly, I would definitely go again. My only complaint would be parking but there's no way to fix that. Will definitely be back!

Let me say this !!! What a honor to say I have ate at this establishment not only is the food great it also has a beautiful atmosphere with historic artifacts ! POST COMMONS keep up the good work and Thank you ✊🏾

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 and herbal offerings as well as coffee. I have been here often. Would love to see original photos of the post office.

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 decorated cool place to hang out. I just think the food could be better, this would be my only minor complaint. For food choices and flavor of food I would give 4 stars. Still have to stop in and look around, so cool love this place!

We were looking for a local breakfast place off the beaten path on the way home from St. Louis and found Post Commons in Alton, IL. This location is on top of the hill where both the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers meet and is inside the former Post Office. Not only is the location a living museum, the coffee and breakfast food is top notch. You place your order at the front desk, and then go find a seat with your order number. The service team will then bring you your food and drinks. The bar for later in the day is very robust with some nice Sazerac Company Bourbon, and multiple wine options. We are looking forward to bringing more friends and family the next time through town. Well done, team.

I adore this post office turned cafe. I've gotten post toast (avocado on sourdough with goat cheese and microgreens) and the oatmeal. Today I had a London Fog latte and it was delicious. I brought home some cinnamon friendship bread for the fam. It's a spacious floor plan with plenty of seating options. Give it a try!

Great coffee / brunch spot. Redone post office with very friendly staff and good prices. A couple vegan options and great coffee and alternative milk selections! Definitely will return.

The food is always great & one of a kind! Unique atmosphere, very chill & relaxing. I have to get the slinger (biscuits & gravy) and a chai latte... nothing compares in this area!

I absolutely love it here. Since I work in a close-by building, this is a go-to for coffee and lunch for me!

Their Post Toast with scrambled eggs (pictured) is a favorite of mine. I should note that this menu item is vegetarian-friendly, as well as their Seoul Shine Burrito if you order it with tofu!

You will always get friendly, smiling faces & quick service! Although it’s smaller than typical cafes, they have a great brunch menu. They also have rotating baked goods. Amazing coffee/tea drinks that are always prepared extremely well is a given here.

I really enjoy local specialty coffee and this place truly is a must-go if you haven’t been. Perfect spot for doing work, homework, or just chilling out solo/with friends.

I can’t stay away- sometimes these guys see me twice a day. 😆

This place has everything you’d want in a coffee shop! (Except for the limited hours lol) I just had one of the best lunches. A jalapeño cheddar grilled cheese with tomato soup. Coffee drinks are great, the food and unique atmosphere! Love that they took the old post office and converted it. It’s defiantly a place to gather and relax at.

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.

Great food, phenomenal coffee/espresso, in an amazingly done atmosphere. How did I not know there was a place to get lighter or healthier breakfast/ lunch fare with just amazing coffee in Alton???

We loved the outdoor tables on a sunny morning. There are some great views from the front. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and coffee.

They have repurposed an old US Post Office to be a coffee house. Pony Express breakfast burrito was excellent.

Great place to relax
Really good food
The tea is bland and extremely overpriced
Great atmosphere. Mellow music always playing quietly.
Top Notch service.
The Turkey Club with avocado is my favorite.
The mixture of seasoned/sweet potato fries is divine!
