Dead Poet's was another incredible YELP find. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers for your reviews…read more We were in Moline for a concert at The Vibrant so I slept in the morning after. I woke up hungry and ready for a cup of coffee. I was especially pleased to walk in to have a treat and found live music in this great spot. My hubby joined me after his golf game and we sat there enjoying delicious sandwiches and coffee. My only negatives were the service was questionable and the coffees were way too hot. Mine bordered on bitter. The gentleman delivering orders spent too much time going from table to table trying to figure how who the food belonged to. There is a cute patio but we chose to stay in and enjoy the music.

Dead Poet's Espresso was along the way for our family road trip to Des Moines, Iowa and it is just…read morearound the corner from the John Deere Pavilion. We stopped by and ordered the following: 1) Dickinson: Tiramisu Mocha 2) Kipling: Lavenmint Latte 3) Spinach, Egg, Gouda on Croissant 4) Pork & Curds 12" Wrap (grilled) 5) Southwest wrap 6) Carnitas Enchiladas (2) We did not enjoy the Kipling because the espresso and lavender was weak and the overall drink was heavily spiced. It seemed like all of the wraps had the same pork filling and the wraps were not well-toasted.

Review Visit: April 10th, 2017…read more Aroma = Amora. Aroma backwards is Amora and Amora means 'love' in Spanish. I do love some good coffee, but do I love Aroma? Yes. Aroma was fantastic. When driving to it, it was a bit hard to find due to it being tucked in with a placed called The Green Thumbers, which is a pretty nifty gardening store in itself. So aside from being attached to a gardening store, it is a full-fledged cafe/coffeehouse on it's own. Upon entering, the staff was super nice and struck up a conversation and asked what I was doing today. Told them the boring part of my business reasons for being in the area, but also the fact that I like to try new coffee places while out and about. They offer a large variety of coffees, lattes, frappes, baked goods, sandwiches, salads and more. I ended up just getting a specialty drink called 'The Tuxedo', which was hot espresso and milk with white and dark Mocha added to it. It sounded pretty good and it did not disappoint at all. In their display of baked goods, they had a chocolate peanut butter cookie that was calling my name... or my sweet tooth was calling for it. Either way, I requested that along with my coffee. The barista even offered to warm it up. I tell you, this may be one of the best cookies I have ever had. I've had some of the best across Illinois, especially at Insomnia Cookies, and this place may rival them on the cookie level. The interior is very formal with out being too formal. It felt cozy but modern. Everything was gray/white/black with nice furniture and some wall decor. But the best part? The two stuffed bears in there. One was about 5 feet tall and there was a baby bear on the other side of the chair, holding a coffee cup. You can see them below. They aren't taxidermy bears mind you, but stuffed plush bears from the store it is attached to. This is the second coffeehouse I have been to with bears in it, the first being Thirty-Thirty Coffee Co. in Peoria, IL. Bears and Coffee go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly... maybe? No bear puns yet? That's un-bear-able! Overall, Aroma Coffee is Amora indeed! The coffee was great, the cookie was beyond amazing and getting your photo taken with the bear is an added bonus. Aside from it being a bit hidden so one could easily drive by, it is worth hunting for. The coffee/cookies that is. Not the adorable bears inside.

Would be a 5/5 star if they allowed service animals (it's illegal not to)…read more Though I didn't have a service animal I know many who rely on them so it's upsetting :( many restaurants allow working dogs and even just some dog friends but a cafe attached to a garden doesn't? Everything else was good though I'd go back for the crepes

We stopped by to grab a coffee while traveling through…read more This location is fun and has great customer service. The coffee was good. A little disappointed that their syrups and ingredients are not house made or weighed out. The coffee tonic was made with Sam's club lemonade and another store bought ingredient for the orange bitters. Like i said, it was good but not at the level as other coffee shops that we have loved. Atmosphere is nice with plenty of seating and a cool vibe. Price is high but normal for this kind of coffee shop

What a nice find! @392 was so welcoming and serves fantastic espresso and coffee…read more I really appreciate a shop where the espresso is served with sparkling water on the side- that's when you know they want you to be able to enjoy every sip of that espresso. I had espresso made from both Juice and Extract beans and both were swell, I think I enjoyed the body of the Extract slightly more. Highly recommended.

Blue Collar Bagels is a fantastic addition to downtown Rock Island! From the moment you walk in,…read moreyou can tell this isn't your average bagel shop. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is genuinely friendly, and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The bagels are outstanding--perfectly chewy on the inside with a beautiful golden crust on the outside. You can really taste the difference that comes from making them the traditional way. Whether you're grabbing breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee and a bagel, the quality shines through. I also love supporting locally owned businesses that take pride in their craft, and Blue Collar Bagels definitely does just that. It's clear they've put a lot of heart into creating something special for the Quad Cities. If you're in the Rock Island area and haven't stopped by yet, do yourself a favor and check them out. I'll definitely be back!
