Absolutely gem in the city. Coffee is amazing, and some of the best I have ever had. Refreshers are also amazing, with a large selection to choose from. Food is also great from the specials that are offered on occasion to the everyday menu, you can always fine something to satisfy your needs/wants. Rachel and Jonas are some of the best people I have met, and I will forever be a customer!

Rachels has the BEST coffee and service in the area. And I'm a coffee snob. Rachel & Co not only provides amazing coffee, they have been a breath of new life into Wood River. Do not compare them to any other coffee place, ESPECIALLY national chains, there is no comparison. None. The coffee is excellent, the service is outstanding and the owners commitment to our area - unmatched. Do yourself a favor and go to Rachels. Support local and get the best coffee around.

Ridiculous, Who the F&$K hands people coffee in a plastic bag. Also-Nitro is popular all year not just in the summer. Overpriced and extremely weak coffee. Hopefully whoever takes over after they close sees all these

Amazing service! I asked about outdoor seating and they opened the garage door and set up tables for us after it was too chilly for the seating this morning. Coffee was fantastic, muffin was delicious, and they were SO friendly!!! I cannot recommend it enough. What a great gem!

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!
