"Oh my goodness, this Lil Gem is amazing. They have coffee, Boba, lunch, breakfast. Then they have a whole separate menu for Filipino food. This place is just amazing. The vibe is wonderful. The building itself just has character. Then come to find I know the owner... Makes it even better"

"This was my first stop on the 2025 Southern Illinois Coffee Trail and it did not disappoint! I tried one of the lattes on the specials board - blackberry vanilla oatmilk latte and got my first stamp in the passport book along with a discount ($1 off). The coffee trail app did not recognize this location for some reason so I just opted for the printed passport book, which I found more handy as I continued on the coffee trail. I just had a coffee and a pastry but the food smelled delicious and they had ice cream as well. Downtown Lebanon is such a cute area, so I walked around a bit before I left town. I wouldn't have stopped in had it not been for the coffee trail, so I am so glad they opted to be part of it."

"We have been here a few times now and love it every time. Nice small town vibe with fantastic specialty drinks as well as the classics. We were super excited to see the Filipino food options as well"

"✨ Absolutely loved discovering St. Louis Coffee World in downtown Lebanon! This cozy but spacious café has a casual, welcoming vibe and just the right touch of charm — think chandeliers, soft seating, and historic brick walls. I stopped in for coffee takeout and had to try something from their Filipino food menu (because of course I did). I grabbed some lumpia to go — crispy, golden perfection with a sweet chili dipping sauce. So good! I also ordered a sugar-free caramel iced coffee — it was a little sweeter than I expected, but I added a shot of espresso and it balanced out nicely. Next time, I’m thinking an iced Americano or one of their boba teas. The menu is full of tempting options, from ube cheese pandesal and leche flan to specialty lattes like Peanut Butter Tiramisu and Rose White Chocolate. Service was quick and friendly, and it’s clear the team takes pride in creating a warm experience. Whether you’re after coffee, dessert, or a nostalgic Filipino treat, this place delivers. 📍 125 W St. Louis St, Lebanon, IL ☕️ Follow me for more foodie finds on Google, Facebook, and Instagram!"

"Nice little coffee/breakfast/ice cream spot in Lebanon, Illinois. Cobblestone streets out front with a covered front patio area. My omlette was just ok. The coffee was quite good."
