Open Thursday to Saturday (always check) . Can only speak for donuts & pastries but I can't imagine that they'd fail at dinner ! The service was very personal and polite. The donuts are Old School !

I was in town for a dog show, picking up 2 dozen to have out for people and this place was a fan favorite for many . You want commercial, cookie cutter , uninspired donuts you can find that anywhere. If you want to impress or treat yourself, friends and family give this place a try !

Went in to pay for gas and get a soda at the fountain drink machine, but the floor was being mopped…read moredirectly in front of it, so I decided to skip on the drink. Waited in a long line since there was only 1 cashier to prepay for gas (the card reader on the pump I parked at wasn't working) and she put it on the wrong pump, and then I had to wait in a long line again to get it corrected. While I was waiting that second time, a mother came in with her young autistic child and someone had been mopping the floor of the whole store even though there was a massive line of customers waiting. The child slipped on the floor because there was no sign in that first aisle right after you come in, and got hurt. When the mom asked why there was no wet floor sign, the employee/manager in a tye dye shirt yelled at her and said there were wet floor signs in several aisles and blamed the child for running and falling. This is completely unprofessional, yelling at a customer especially in front of a huge line of customers. They then asked the customer when it was ok to mop the floor. How about in the evening shortly before close? It's 3:45 in the afternoon on a Saturday and very busy. So yeah, now is probably not a good time!! And it was so rude to even ask that rhetorically to the customer! I will never come back here again. She never apologized to the customer and even threatened to kick her out of the store because the customer got angry with her. I would be angry too if you yelled at me and blamed my kid for falling! That was so rude I can't believe I even witnessed that! My issue wasn't that big of a deal in comparison, but if that's how their manager/employee treats customers, I don't want to contribute any revenue to this location!

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!

Caffeine is not a good way to regulate your heart rate…read more Having driven by Regulator Roasting Company a million times since they opened, it was only natural for them to expand over to the other side of the building when the space came open. I'm not sure the exact date of them serving coffee to the public (that wasn't just beans in a bag) but I knew I would have to try it out sooner rather than later and that day finally came. Maria and I rolled in at around 10am and were greeted by the owner, who was extremely friendly and even more extremely knowledgeable about coffee and all the nuances of it. I'll admit that I know nothing about coffee except that I like drinking it. So, it was cool to hear Maria and the owner talk about espressos and various other aspects to drinks that I never think about. Anywho, I ordered an Americano and the owner asked how strong I wanted it. I told him to surprise me. Maria ordered a macchiato and ended up getting some espresso on the side to boost it up as she was feeling pretty tired. I picked up the tab for us and just for our two drinks, it was only $7 and change. Our drinks were $3 a piece and with her flavoring, that was only $0.50. I haven't seen prices this cheap since maybe around the time I started visiting coffeehouses. Granted the cup was maybe only 12-15 ounces and there seems to be the one size... it's still a heck of a deal. The interior was open and sparse. It could accommodate maybe 7-10 people before it felt crowded. But with the limited parking space that's shared a bit with the neighboring building, that's probably for the best. There wasn't too much foot traffic despite the incredible weather but I think that'll change once the warm weather kicks in for the season. At the time of my visit, the roast master admitted that he is still tweaking his drinks so if you make multiple trips, you may find your drink of choice has changed subtly here and there. Not that someone like me would notice the nuances! If you need a cheap caffeine hit and want to avoid the big names in coffee, give Regulator's a shot. I hope this one does gangbusters as East Peoria is severely lacking a hometown coffee place.
