Review Visit: December 23rd, 2015…read more Smoothie King demands your payment, your devotion and your adoration! Bow to the Smoothie King! Is Smoothie King really the king of all smoothie places? Possibly. This is the only smoothie place I have visited so far, so it may possibly be the most delicious and bestest smoothie place there is. If you go to Smoothie King, don't expect it to be just a drink. No. It is pretty much a meal all on its own. So while the prices may be a bit high, you are basically getting a meal in Styrofoam cup. A Medium Banana Boat smoothie can have about 700 calories, just a heads up if you are health conscious. Get the rewards app if you become subjugated by the King of Smoothies, so you get free stuff after some purchases. Luckily, if you can't make it to the East Peoria, IL location, that is fine. You can pay your respects to the Smoothie King across America. You know, if you type smoothie a lot, it really starts to look funny. Smoothie, smoothie, smoothie, smoothie, smoothie.

I was more than willing to pay normal price too. Very disappointed.

They have a ton of seating surrounding the building and when I go I also see a lot of people hanging around, happy, and having fun! They usually get through the lines pretty quickly though. If you see a big crowd of people don't hesitate to stop, the wait won't be very long! Get over there and try a blueberry cheesecake creamer, you won't regret it!

They've kept all the charm and quality you'd expect, with a fantastic ice cream selection that feels very familiar if you loved the classic DQ menu. The service is always quick and incredibly friendly--it's the kind of place where you feel welcome the moment you walk up. There's plenty of parking and outdoor seating, which makes it perfect for families or a relaxing treat. And with a park just across the street, it's a great stop when you're out with little ones. Delicious ice cream, great people, and a perfect location.

This place kicks butt!…read more My friend Tim told me about this place awhile back and has been waiting patiently for it to open. Fast forward 2 months when we planned a day to hang out and play board games when I suggested we check it out. Matt, Tim, and I popped in on a Saturday afternoon and all was quiet. As we walked up, we almost turned around as it looked closed (there was a big lock on one of the doors) but I wanted to 100% be sure it was closed so I walked up to visually confirm there was no one inside. Come to our surprise that it was open. We quickly dipped inside to avoid the humidity and heat of the day and made our ways to the giant tvs that displayed the menus. Said menus quickly irritated us as they were on a continuous scroll every 5 seconds or so... of the same photo. There are 3 tvs and each one displayed one portion of the menu. Each one was set up to a slideshow effect and would transition to the next photo of the same photo it just showed you. So, we kept having to re-focus on where we were despite it being the same image. It took a bit longer to figure out what we wanted to order because of this. But once we knew what we wanted, we ordered with the cashier and waited for our drinks. Tim was distracted with his phone when Matt and I got distracted with something behind the counter. It was this machine that shook the drinks and let me tell you... we were mesmerized by it. We both commented on it at the same time and kept watching the workers load drinks in it. Then we were mesmerized by the machine that put a seal on the cups. Both Matt and I said we could watch this process all day. I've had sealed drinks like this before but never one that was done within viewing range. Any who, like us getting distracted by that machine, I am getting off topic here. We were served our drinks and we walked over to Costco to get some pizzas for our game night. My first sip of my drink (which was a caramel macchiato) and I knew I made the right choice. It was a delicious mix of what you would expect a caramel macchiato to taste like but in a slush-form. For it being a hot and humid day, it was the perfect thing to sip on during the walk over and through Costco. I can see myself coming back here for a special treat once in awhile. The Levee District in East Peoria has a lot of cool shops but severely lacks a place that I think Kung Fu Tea fills in nicely. Sure, there is a Starbucks and Dunkin' nearby, but this place adds something to the area that I feel that it's lacking. This was evident by the fact that when we walked in, there were only 2 people in there but when we left, there were about 12-15 people milling about, waiting to order or waiting for their drinks. I hope they continue to do well as the landscape of most areas needs some diversity over the usual big chains and corporations.

I'm so glad you're here! 1/6/2026 I stopped by Reverence Coffee for the first time on Saturday for a quick pick me up. There was just one other lady sitting down in the coffee shop doing a little bit of work, and Sly just happened to be working that day. He was very polite and professional. We talked about business and he said he was looking forward to meeting the people in the new apartment building next door. I saw that there was one brown butter chocolate chip cookie with sea salt left in the box, so I absolutely had to try it. I have to say it's probably one of the most freshest cookies I've ever had, he said they always mix it up and have all kinds of different pastries. I also ordered a 12oz Caramel iced Latte, and that tasted great too! I absolutely love the vibe of the coffee shop, the color on the walls, decorations, customer service, and look forward to returning more often!

I am astonished at the popularity of these fast casual chains charging as much for less food compared to Chili's and Outback and most any local restaurant.

Think Smoothie King but with food…read more Starting off my 2025 travels with a healthy place and some coupons I got in the mail. On this particular day, my friend Jeremy and I decided to drop in for lunch since we were both bored and had the rare same day off together. I had some coupons that Tropical Smoothie Cafe sent me in the mail to entice me to visit. I used the combo coupon that netted me a flatbread, a side, and a smoothie for the low cost of $5. Jeremy used a 50% sandwich coupon and grabbed a smoothie himself. It wasn't entirely too busy when we arrived. There was a couple sitting inside and the person behind the counter was working on an order. It took awhile for another person to come out and acknowledge us but quickly took our order. I ended up with the chicken bacon ranch flatbread, a jetty punch smoothie and some jalapeno chips. Jeremy got the buffalo chicken wrap and the same smoothie as me. We waited probably 10-15 minutes to get our food, which felt a bit longer than what a smoothie place should take but it wasn't like we were starving for our food. The interior was a bit sparse but I don't think this is a place you'd come and sit for a full meal and conversations nor a place to plop down with a laptop and do some homework or professional work. It had the vibe of sit and enjoy but don't hang around too long. That's neither bad nor good as we had plans to visit another friend after eating so we dipped out pretty quick after finishing up. We dug in once we got our food and it didn't take too long to demolish the food. After we finished, we both kinda looked at each other and both agreed that while the food was good, paying full price would've felt like it was a bit much. The quality of the food and the cooking were great, it's just that we both found it to be lacking something. Same with the smoothie. It was good but it felt like the strawberry nor the banana really shone through and it tasted like a generic blend of healthy. It's a bit of a bummer that the food and smoothie were decent but nothing to write home about. We both wished the food and smoothie had just a bit more of a punch to the flavor instead of being more on the bland side of things. Despite all that, I am typing this up about 4 hours later (around 7pm) and don't really see myself cooking dinner. Maybe a small snack but definitely not a full meal. It may have been lacking in the flavor department but between the smoothie and meal, it wasn't lacking in filling me up and that's considering I didn't even eat the chips. Stay smooth, everyone.

Don't be a chicken on trying new places…read more Maria and I dropped in on this hidden gem of a coffee place on a whim. I had seen the local newspaper cover their opening so I asked her that morning if she wanted to go and so we went. Maria had some trouble locating the coffeehouse as it's located inside a business-like building and then down a hallway. Once we figured it out, we ordered our drinks and plopped down for some sips and chats. Maria got a cold brew and I snagged a very large black americano. It wasn't super bitter like some americanos that I've had before but that was a welcome change. The owner/cashier was super friendly and Maria ended up talking to her for a bit while I looked around. It didn't take long to get our drinks and we sat down at one of the few places to sit in the small coffeehouse area. This place strikes me as a place better to snag your coffee and go back to work in one of the many offices around but the inclusion of chairs and tables is nice for those of us who want to drop in and chill with some caffeine and a friend for awhile. If you are hungry, there isn't much in the way for food besides them selling Tadoughs donuts and some small offerings like bagged chips. That wasn't a concern for me but I know Maria was hungry for something like a breakfast sandwich or the like. But due to the quaint size of the area behind the counter, they probably don't have the space for proper cooking instruments. All-in-all, a really cool and really small coffeehouse located in some kind of office building.
