Wow was this place good! I heard they added new menu items so I decided to stop by and try something new. I ordered the Southwest Chicken salad as a wrap and it was HUGE and stuffed with so many bold flavors (cilantro, black beans, southwest ranch...) I had to take some of it home because it was so big. I definitely feel like I got a lot of food for what I paid. I can't wait to eat here again! read more

HearthRock Cafe - Southwest Chicken Wrap - Cafes Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

Best ham and Swiss sandwich I've ever had in my life. The smokey flavor of the ham pairs perfectly with the buttery roll, cheese and mustard sauce: Chili was okay, bakery items are amazing (especially the cookies). A bit pricey as a lunch option but absolutely worth a visit! read more

See all

This is a great little café! The staff is great and people sit and enjoy their day without any grief from the staff. I had the pulled pork wrap, I needed more napkins than they gave me. It was good but very messy. read more

Great sandwiches at great prices. Nice place to unwind, grab some coffee and people watch.

ordered two meals there, the breakfast burrito and the biscuits and gravy. the breakfast burrito was fantastic still lacked in the flavor department considering what's in it but good nonetheless. however the biscuits and gravy were not good at all, no flavor whatsoever. i don't know why i thought the biscuits were going to be made from scratch or the gravy rich with meaty flavor but bland would be an understatement here. their house coffee forgot what it was called but that was top notch service was fine considering the one employee showed up late and i had to wait a bit to even order let alone receive it i'm sure it was an off day for them tho ambiance was nice it's a mix between cafe and cabin lodge didn't get a chance to sit by the fireplace but if i'm ever there again i'll definitely take advantage read more

Service phenomenal. OK when the Chef comes out of the back room and pitches in at the front end, you have a winning café. Ambience, you've got to be kidding me if you have a problem with this atmosphere. Come check it out for yourself by the fireplace or anywhere, love the glass elevator, too. My coffee was fresh ground and brewed to order. My quiche was delicious. All foods ready and fresh. Sure it had been six plus years since my last visit. Need to be regular customer? Businesses are over-the-top to treat regular customers extraordinarily well beyond the newcomers. Thank you for treating me just like every other guest. Even though I'm from out of town. Also pleasantly surprised to see Apple products in use here. We're fans... Thank you Benson Stone and Hearthrock café Ms Mae read more

HearthRock Cafe - Love by the fireplace nearby every part of the seating areas. Spacious, open, airy and clean. - Cafes Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

My wife had been told about this place, and I needed parts for my fireplace (by the way, the store has fireplaces, landscaping, lighting, furniture, clothes - bring the wife) so I decided to stop in for lunch. Lots of tables, and tables blocked for COVID. All servers wearing masks. This is actually a 2 visit review. I had their Cuban on the first visit. It was very good - the bun was good, the meat was freshly sliced, and the pickle pieces inside - it just was good. My wife wanted to check the place out, so we went again. This time, I had what I thought I wanted the first time but didn't get it because the Cuban looked soooo good - the Rib Quesadilla! My wife had their Quiche, which came with a fruit salad (freshly cut up) and a blueberry muffin. So the Rib Quesadilla - how do I describe this? It came with a spicy aioli dip. The ribs were cooked perfectly, The blend with the cheese and the tortilla - it was just perfect. You get 4 quarters and they are very filling. It was just marvelous! My wife's dish was also good. She really liked her quiche and the blueberry muffin and fruit were nice and fresh! Which is why I'm saying Get In and TRY THIS NOW. This is the best counter service lunch I've had in a Long Time. You come in the front door and go to your right. They do have breakfast early, and then switch to lunch around 11:00 am. The menu is over the counter. They do have an Astra Espresso machine and a ton of flavors, and grind their coffee fresh. They also have regular coffee if that's your thing. Look to the right for the cooler of soft drinks and water. You need to try this place. Garmin says it's on the right going north, but it's on the LEFT. It's north of the CN tracks and south of the UP tracks. Take some time to walk around the store. The original beams are still in place, and it's a great space to take in. read more

Wow!!!! This place is such a hidden gem! Stumbled upon it today while google searching for a "cafe" after visiting Urban Farmgirl. The menu sounded yummy so we gave it a try. Got the apple walnut salad with bacon. You get your choice of dressing, I tried it with poppyseed. HOLY WOW!!!! So crisp and fresh and delicious. A really nice size, not too big that it filled me up but big enough to be satisfying. The real star here though is the baby back rib quesadilla. The meat is smoked in house, and you can taste that!!! Smoky, melt in your mouth meat within a crispy quesadilla with a delicious chipotle aioli on the side. I'm so impressed- I am a little over a year into living in the area and wanted to find a nice soup/salad/lunch joint. I just loved this place! We also snagged the last orange cranberry muffin- crispy sugar on top, super moist and tart in the middle. YUM! The service was quick and the workers were kind as well. Will definitely be back! read more

The coffee and espresso are excellent and so are their beans. Haven't tried the food yet but would highly recommend it to anyone. The house roast is super syrupy and the espresso isn't too bitter with a great crema. read more

One and a half stars is what I would really grant the HearthRock. The menu is very small and uninspired and the so called "famous pulled pork" was not good at all. They did have a nice selection of bbq sauces,however. The decor was okay but nothing special. The service was just barely adequate. The lady working never made eye contact and only spoke when she absolutely had to. I can't think of any reason in the world I would ever go back here. read more

Great place for soup and a sandwich. Cozy surroundings with 2 fireplaces. Plenty of seating and great service. Lots of great options for sandwiches and daily soups. Don't come here if you expect to spend five bucks. It's a bit pricey but worth it. Business clients always love it when I bring them here. read more

This is a great place to enjoy lunch with a friend and chat. Not a huge menu but very tasty. The sandwiches are freshly made and coffee is delicious. read more

Great quiche. Good for breakfast and lunch. For work or pleasure. Good store too. You come for lunch or Breakfast and stay to shop!

Had the pick 2 and the roast beef sandwich and wild rice soup. Food was delicious and fresh! Very reasonably priced, a little gem in Rockford. read more

Not worth the drive - no vegetarian food, unfriendly staff, badly made drink. I ordered a quiche and a chai tea and it cost 12 dollars! I couldn't stomach finishing either and am probably just going to go to Starbucks. Really disappointing. read more

A more expensive Subway with a better atmosphere. Food is simple and basic for the price, similar to the furniture. Scolded by manager for bringing in a side of yogurt. Ha, offer it then, Scrooge. read more

We always visit the "Hearth Rock Cafe" on our way back from southern ILL. The pulled pork is as good as I had when I lived in Memphis. I buy 3-6 lbs. of coffee to take home to Wisc., because we can't get anything this good here. read more

Delicious food & very friendly staff. Fun place to shop for home remodeling ideas and enjoying a bite to eat
