A cute place but very girly! From the pink paint to the rose ceiling in the entry it screams feminine. We had good service. Arriving after the lunch rush probably helped. The soup of day was creamy tomato and Gouda- both my friend and I had to get that it sounded so good. And it didn't disappoint. I could decide btwn sandwich or salad to go with soup. Waitress talked me into summer salad and it was great. It was a huge serving. Great poppyseed dressing was with salad. I liked that it was not already on the salad. I also got a chai tea and it was good. I would like to go back next time for breakfast. read more

The Coffee Girl - Soup and salad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waterloo, Illinois

One of my good friends and I were anxious to visit Alexandria K's coffee place located downtown Waterloo IL. To say we have a local country star from one of our near by towns, is quite the obvious. Let's chat about her coffee shop. The Coffee Girl, is not just your run of the mill shop. Yes- you can get coffee! Did you know they have smoothies too?! I bet not, because I sure didn't. They are running their winter menu currently. Whether that's pancakes, waffles, or a gingerbread latte. You will have access to their regular menu too. We both ordered the same meal. The all American. Comes egg, meat, potatoes, and toast. They will ask how you want your eggs, fried or hashbrowns ( potatoes), meat ( sausage, bacon, turkey sausage, or ham) , toast ( sourdough, wheat/white, English muffin, or biscuit. The drinks we did different. I'm a sucker for themed menu drinks. I tried the gingerbread latte, it didn't disappoint at all. I got the medium size. You can get it in a mug or Togo cup. My friend had the dirty chai. The sourdough toast was nice!! the eggs we ordered differently too. I like mine scrambled and hers are more sunny side or medium. Let's backtrack a little. So first off can we talk about the look and feel of the shop. It's very cute. Love the floral design on the outside. It runs up the side of the building up to the signage. ( by the way they have outside seating at the front) Those same flowers are used in the ceiling with a chandelier as you walk down the corridor to the ladies and men's restroom. When you walk inside. To th right is the boutique/order to go drinks or other items for purchase. To the left is the seating area. Which by the way our waitress was very nice and attentive. Making sure everyone was topped off on coffees and waters. Loved the vintage yet modern seating and color scheme. Alex you outdid yourself on this place! We loved going and happy we waited. read more

Everything we loved about the old Bean Tree Café- with a fresh, fun, feminine twist. I came here with my two daughters, one a major lover of all things girly and pink, and the other not so much. But both girls left completely satisfied- the food was amazing! It was lunchtime, and I ordered the smash burger and fries- it was all hot, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. The girls got a variety of breakfast items: eggs, bacon, grilled cheese, and fries. The house-made ranch was great! We love that they have a kids' menu with kid-sized portions and everything made to order (so they could add bacon, cheese, whatever their little hearts desired). And the coffee! I ordered one of the fall specials, the S'mores Mocha, and it was a whole experience! Coffee and dessert in one. We came on a busier day (the day after Thanksgiving), but we were able to sign the notepad and be seated after a 10-15 minute wait. The girls enjoyed the pink couches, decorations, and Alexandra Kay merch. The staff members were all so kind and helpful, even bringing my girls their drinks (with lids!) while we waited for our table. We will be back. I'd love to get the friends together for a ladies' brunch here some time! Galentine's anyone? :) read more

When I drove up, I knew this was going to be a special place. The front of the building is absolutely adorable, and looks like a doll house. It's pink with a lot of floral decor. There is street parking available. They have steps or a ramp to enter the establishment. The bathrooms are cute and very clean, but I'm not sure if they have a disabled accessible restroom. The hallway to the bathroom is very narrow. I arrived about 30 minutes before they closed. I didn't get any coffee as I had already hit my caffeine limit for the day. I did observe them making some delicious looking, frozen coffee drinks. I decided on some cookie butter beignets. Yummy! This is a great spot to hang out with your girlfriends. read more

What a vibe! I always love visiting Waterloo, it's the most charming small town. This is a great new addition! The girly decor makes this coffee shop a go-to spot for a girls day out and makes for a perfect photo-op (i watched so many people snapping photos around the whole building). I think the fact Alexandra Kay revamped this spot to give love back to her hometown makes it even more special, you can tell a lot of passion was out into this coffee shop. Not to mention the coffees are INCREDIBLE! We recently stopped in to grab two of their seasonal drinks, the cherry cobbler cold brew and pumpkin pie latte, they were both spot on for flavors and well made! I am hoping to dine in and try the food next time, the menu sounds amazing! read more

Pink, pink, pink! This place is absolutely gorgeous and well worth a visit to check out by yourself or with friends. The floral and pink aesthetic is pleasant and every employee working there was so kind and friendly. Happiness exudes from this coffee shop. I spent an hour enjoying my to-go drink working in their co-working space and can't wait to return to experience the sit down restaurant side. Their food menu has my favorites from Bean Tree so I can't wait to return with my family for a yummy brunch. read more

I came here on a Friday morning with some co workers. First impressions the place is super cute and pink, which we loved! We had to wait at least 30 minutes for a table for our group of 6. After being seated we got service pretty quick, which was nice. All of the coffee drinks were super good. I got the drink of the month and I really enjoyed it! To eat I got the eggs Benedict and a stack of blueberry lemon pancakes. The eggs Benedict was okay. It had like a weird watery flavor to it, so I wouldn't recommend. The blueberry lemon pancakes were DELICIOUS!! I loved them and was super happy I got a side of them. I would recommend getting the pancakes. read more

I drove from Crestwood just to check out this hidden gem and it was worth the drive! The weather started out with a storm but by the time we were done it was sunny and beautiful out! First impression walking in was a bit awkward bc you immediately face the stairwell. To the left is the dinning area and to the right is the coffee bar/wait area. It was busy and had no idea what I was supposed to be doing so I walked up to the counter and was told to sign in(so old school lol). The little shop was so cute and if it wasn't for the fact that it was packed I would've taken some pictures. Anyways, there's plenty of sitting in the waiting area since they don't take reservations so the weight was about 20 minutes. We then got seated right outside the kitchen door but whatever was dying to try this place! I ordered the coffee special....wished I could remember the name but it was something with rose and lavender maybe? Regardless, that coffee was so good!!!! I then ordered the avocado toast and my friend and I shared a strawberry stuffed French toast. Everything from the service to the food was just wonderful. Def want to come back and bring my daughter with me next time. Worth the drive and wait read more

Service was very slow that morning and for the first 30 minutes we were the only ones in there. When the food finally arrived it was wrong. The toast was burnt and not buttered. My omelette was full of onion, no green peppers, and very little cheese. It was a rather disappointing experience. read more

Wanted to eat at Bean Tree Cafe, but arrived to find the Coffee Girl. Weird. The vibe is much different. Not as down home; more refined and feminine. My daughter loved it, while we boys missed the old place. Fortunately, the food was the same as before, and the service was great. I ordered the eggs Benedict and really enjoyed it. I'd come back, even though I wish it were still Bean Tree. read more

From the moment you pull up, you'll be struck by the charming exterior--busting with flowery pinks and that mural wall, it is cozy, and full of personality and feminine energy IYKYK. And once you step inside? The decor is just as beautiful, with a warm and welcoming vibe from the staff that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. Let's talk food: the menu is full of delicious options, but the lemon blueberry pancakes deserve a standing ovation. Bright, fluffy, and bursting with flavor, they're the kind of dish you'll be dreaming about long after the last bite. Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or a coffee break, everything is thoughtfully made and beautifully presented. Coffee lovers, take note: not only can you get fresh-brewed cup and specialities, you can also grab some of their signature blends to take home.

This is coming from someone who was a customer and also used to manage a restaurant. 1. It should not take 30 minutes to make two white chocolate mochas and two fruit drinks. If it takes longer than ten minutes, be a good host and apologize for the wait and what you are doing about it. That is basic. 2. We chose to stay and eat on the premises. Big mistake. Not only have they crammed too many tables in a super small space, but it was fifty minutes before we received our food. The food we got was three breakfast foods and a burger. Again things happen, staffing shortages, equipment, etc. but do you think anyone came over to us and offered an explanation or an apology? Not even once did anyone come over. Again, very basic stuff. 3. You know what we received super quick? The check. All four of us were still eating our food when the check showed up. You wait on that. That happens at the END of a meal to make sure that your guests enjoyed their experience and were ready for the bill. Again, super simple stuff. read more

Went for lunch, right off square in Waterloo. Great remodel of restaurant and sandwich corned beef flavorful and service was great. Great place for quick lunch but seating is limited so had to wait for 20 minutes. read more

They do not offer online orders or accept call in orders. You are able to order to-go, but you must order inside. Their food is great quality, fresh, and perfectly sized for the price. The inside is gorgeous and fun. It's worth calling ahead to find out wait times, so that you aren't wasting time. One thing they absolutely could improve in is their communication. None of the workers made eye contact or greeted any of the customers coming in including us. We will definitely still return in the future. read more
