"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble"…read more After the less-than-stellar americano at 392Caffee, Emily and I decided to get more coffee later in the day and Coffee Apothecary happened to be right around the corner from Five Cities Brewing. Talk about convenient. So, after a few beers and the best meal, we dropped in for one last hit of caffeine before finishing out the day exploring. When we walked in, they had just burnt some bacon, so the place was filled with smoke. Kinda fits the Apothecary theme, in my opinion. Since we had just eaten a big meal at Five Cities, we opted for just a drink. Emily got their special HeLa CELL and I got my usual americano. They were out of brown sugar for the HeLa CELL so Emily got it substituted with caramel. We waited just a few minutes for the drinks to be ready and decided that despite the smoke that was lingering around, we would sit there and play some Uno while recharging our batteries. This americano was exactly what I wanted all day. It was dark and bitter and delicious. I sampled Emily's drink and the foam and salt and caramel were a perfect combo. Compared to the other coffeehouse we visited, this one felt more traditional. It's a bit smaller so large groups might have to sit outside or divvy up between tables. As for the aesthetics of the place, they really play into the apothecary theme. It felt rustic and antique in there, between the decor and the images on the wall. It almost reminded me of Little Raven Creamery that was open in Peoria at one point. If you find yourself in the Quad Cities and want a nice change of pace from your usual coffeehouse, give Coffee Apothecary a try. Hopefully the burnt bacon smoke will be gone by then. Not entirely sure why one of the workers didn't prop a door open to help air it out but it was like 95 degrees outside so... don't blame them for wanting to keep the shop cool. Sidenote: I do wish they had their logo that I saw on their Facebook available on either a magnet, sticker, or shirt. I love the look and vibe of plague doctors so to have that on something I can put up at home or wear would be sweet. Maybe they will have some merch in the future! Until then, stay caffeinated!

We always try to support small businesses but we had a disappointing experience overall. A coffee…read moreshop that doesn't offer a cortado was surprising, and the drinks we ordered were overly sweet and syrup-heavy. The Americanos were mostly water and filled to the very top, leaving little room for proper coffee flavor. Service was equally disappointing. The staff was abrupt and unwelcoming, and at 3:00 pm we were told, without courtesy, that they were closed and needed to leave. No polite request, just a blunt statement. Poor service paired with subpar drinks made this a place I would not return to or recommend.

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

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.
