Reviews for Shimoji Coffee - Espresso Drive Thru in Vandalia, IL

The matcha latte was delicious and the price was great. It's not too far from the interstate and the double drive-thru was a... great design choice. Both workers were friendly and swift. Read more

I specifically stopped in Vandalia on the way back to St. Louis a few weeks ago but it was a weekday morning and the line was... long and I couldn't tell if it started across from the diner or closer to the dental office, so I just got drip coffeeelsewhere. Today (Saturday) I tried again and found out that there are drive thrus on BOTH sides of the building, so that's whyI saw cars in line from multiple directions. I got the caramel apple latte with almond milk and it was exactly like fall in ato-go cup. I'll be back now that I know I can get on line from either direction! Read more

Excellent coffee and service. We always have a hard time finding *GOOD* coffee close to freeways. Shimoji makes excellent... coffees. We had an espresso and a latte. Both were high quality. We drove up to the window and ordered. We thought the pick upwindow is ahead and drove forward but were mistaken. The person at the window came out to give us our coffee which was very niceof her!

My first time ever going to a coffee house and if all of them are like this, it won't be my last. I went to get my sister-in-law... a coffee and I ordered me one as well, just to see what the fuss was about. The girls working were so sweet and nice. My largefrozen mocha, with a double shot of expresso, was nothing more than amazing! They topped it off with whip cream andchocolate...yum ???? Read more

Great bakery items! Great staff. Coffee around 10ish is consistently on the warm side. Would not consider hot that it needs a... sleeve. I'm sure it's great if you get there early. Read more

Went with my grandpa, and both of our drinks are great! He got his usual salted caramel coffee, and I got a matcha boba tea.... sooooo good! The people working are so nice. I?ve only been there five times over the past three years. It?s always been good,and I think it?s getting even better. If I lived in Vandalia I?d go more often! Edit- I was looking at reviews, and saw thatmost of the bad ones where from years ago. They were about wait times, and I can confidently say they have definitely fixed thisissue. Read more

We are missionaries to the Deaf who serve in South Africa. We are accustomed to great coffee all the time. We are in the US for... a few months and have struggled to find good coffee as we?ve been traveling around to meetings. Thank the Lord we ran a crossedShimoji Coffee! They roast their own beans and the coffee is delicious. We asked them to make something special that we normallyget in South Africa, a vanilla cinnamon cappuccino. It was great. So, if you?re traveling east or west on route 70 throughIllinois, make sure to take exit 63 and give these dear folks a visit. You will not be disappointed! Read more

Cutest little shipping container made into a coffee shop! I saw an ad on my way home from OH. I am a coffee addict so I had to... stop since it was a 2 min addition. I got my normal ice latte and it was delicious, around $4 and a pretty good size for theprice and being a medium! I also liked how the cup was branded which you don?t always see for a small coffee company. Verysatisfied! Read more
