Welcome to the Coffee Trail

Here's to discovering your new favorite coffee shop!

Last year, we created our first ever coffee trail with 28 shops in our 21 counties. This year, we've partnered with 6 local tourism bureaus (Explore Mattoon, Lake Shelbyville, Enjoy Mt. Vernon, Southernmost Illinois Tourism Bureau, Visit Effingham, and visitSI) to create the Southern Illinois Coffee Trail. This year's trail features over 50 shops and spans 450 miles. The trail runs from 9/1/2023 - 12/31/2023.
