Cafes near Bettendorf

“We flew 4 families from around the country to crash at a local Airbnb for a family reunion. We decided to take a stroll to the Valley Country Cafe, at the recommendation of my mom (who had eaten there the day before), with 10 people on a Friday morning. Immediately impressed, they had a table ready for us (my mom had warned them we were coming) and were on top of drinks within moments of us arriving. I'm always pleased with a carafe of coffee at the table, so we didn't have to ask for refills. This was a nice touch! The menu has just about anything you could ask for, from pancakes & crepes, to omelets and a variety of biscuit & gravy options... The kids & grownups alike were beyond excited by the sprinkles and chocolate chip options for the pancakes. They kept on top of our drink refills, our food arrived promptly & was hot and delicious, and service was amazing. The entire staff was friendly and easy to talk to. They didn't hesitate to bring hot sauces or refills whenever we'd asked. The food was delicious! Hot, fresh, well seasoned! I usually cringe at the idea of taking a large party out to eat, because inevitably - something goes wrong... but not this time. It was an amazing experience, from service to food, all the way around. We will definitely be back when we're in town again!“

“I love Atomic! The service is great! The gals that work there are so sweet and efficient! The wait times aren't bad, and when desperate times call for desperate measures, I drink a B52 throughout the day (not often). It has 6 shots of espresso in it with Irish cream! Otherwise, on a normal day, I love the Nutty Professor. It reminds me of peanut butter cups. Yum!“

“I stopped here with my boyfriend on the way out of town. We both had quiche (different kinds), and both were just fantastic. We also both had the Cream of Mushroom soup and loved it. Further, the service is excellent. We had a hiccup with our order, and when we pointed it out, the owner personally made sure it was immediately made right. This is a five star place. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Proof that those who say, 'there is nothing to do in the QC' are miserably ignorant at best or a liar, damned by [email protected] options: Not a place that serves portions for a square meal & a snack to take home. This goes for the entire Bill of Fare. They focus on QUALITY. NOT! QUANTITY!Dietary restrictions: If YOU are reasonable, then they will REASONABLY accomadate your dietary restrictions.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly patio & garden-like space for those children SENSIBLE & PRUDENT enough to BEHAVE.“

“This place is great. They only offer two main dishes and those change daily. The food is really good, and the cost for a full meal is a suggested $10. The proceeds go to run the place, and help people with food insecurity. So if you don't have the cash, you can pay less. Or volunteer for free meals. It's such a great service to the community.Vegetarian options: There is always a vegetarian option.“

“My husband and I finally got to check out this coffee shop! It was absolutely amazing. I had an amazing service experience. I wish I could remember the individual who helped me, but I have forgotten their name. I ordered the Iced Leroy and my husband ordered the mailman frappe. Both were fantastic. Mine had peanut butter mocha and banana. The banana flavor was not overwhelming which I figured it would be. It was the perfect mix! We also got a cinnamon roll. It was so good and served just slightly warm. The only downside is I wish it were just a bit warmer and it would be absolutely fantastic! Don’t miss out on this coffee shop. Shop small and local!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“Coffee was pretty good! We got the avocado toast which my wife and I enjoyed. My only gripe is I wish that the bacon on it was bacon bits. With the visuals of the avocado toast and the bread being a higher quality bread the bacon bits seem like a HUGE miss.“

“I wasn't sure if the inside area was available for dine-in so I waited in the queue for the drive-in. Once at the window, the ladies told me to come inside to enjoy my breakfast.I got a hot Almond Joy latté which definitely tasted like the candy bar but was also not too sweet! The chorizo breakfast burrito was so good! The cheese was perfectly melted throughout! I wish I would have gotten a video.I also got a pup cup for my dog at home as well as some house-made treats. He loved them all!There were only two people working, and they hustled! They were so busy but they were still super friendly and got everything out in a timely manner. Highly recommend!“

“Lovely staff. It was nice to have a pleasant conversation with the gentleman taking my order at the drive thru window. They are creative with their drinks if you want something a little different than your norm. I tried the “Honey & Oat Latte” with lavender instead of cinnamon. Pricing is similar to Starbucks, maybe a hair cheaper, but their products are of much better quality.“

“The service was great. My salad was a nice mix of greens and other veggies on top. My main dish came out too quickly as I was only half done with the salad. The baby back ribs were soooo delicious... like falling off the bone and melt in your mouth kind of good!! So no problem there. My baked potato was overdone, like it had been setting around a while waiting for a customer. It was the worst, but it should really have not been served.Parking: Easy access from the main road. Parking is right in front of the restaurant.“

“Giving 4 stars because I am espresso snob and I felt the espresso could have been stronger. My americano was very weak tasting and watery. Food, staff, and other items are great. I had an energy drink most recently, and it wasn't too sweet like other places in the area. I enjoyed it!“

“Absolutely love this place,none of that diet ice cream like DQ. And their water down soft serve . Their vanilla & chocolate ice cream is fabulous ? the Lg hot fudge sundae could be a little bigger it is like the medium & LG are the same size, I visit both east moline & coalvalley they both do a great job, kudos to the owner.“

“This is pure coffee house Americana at its finest. The building has its magic, but it's the people that make you believe. Erin runs this slice of yesterday with lots of love, passion, and professionalism. The food and coffee bring you in. The service brings you “

“I saw this on my way home and decided to stop in. They were surprisingly not busy at 7 am. The café is beautifully set-up with plenty of seating for remote workers, students, or friends meeting up. The staff was super nice and patiently answered all of my questions as a first-timer.I got a seasonal drink, the Cindy Lou. It was an espresso drink flavored with lavender, mint, and vanilla cream. I also got the Heavenly Mama breakfast sandwich which was egg, bacon, gouda, tomato, and aioli on a brioche. Both items were so good! The coffee didn't seem to be over-roasted like most places and they didn't inundate it with syrup. The drink was adequately sweet, and not overly so. I also bought a cookie which is made locally by a small vendor. Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back!“

“Had a couple hours to kill during a business trip to Moline. Checked out Dead Poets for breakfast and coffee. Service and food were awesome. Good gluten free options. I'm normally a basic coffee guy but ordered "the poe" and it was excellent. Will def check out next time I'm in the Quad Cities.“

“I needed a Thanksgiving pie last minute as my original plan had fallen through. EIBC saved the day and got my order right before their cut off for the holiday. I got the Caramel Apple pie and it was a hit! It was also $10 cheaper than the original place I planned to order from. I will definitely be back to try more of their baked goods!“

“amazing food and people!! great lil cafe -always a smiling waitress . and Tommy is always there ringing you out when you're stuffed full and paying your check. CASH only-but thats the way it should be!! Gonna miss this place ..but will be back when we visit for sure.. BEST PASTRIES EVER!!“

“ordered from Grubhub and I had to come over here to write a review on the food. The food was so good, I wasn't even that hungry and I smashed it all LOL The grilled chicken panini with added bacon and spinach was great, the side of potato salad was good but small but that's okay because they only charged $2 for it, but the tomato bisque soup was what was amazing. Everybody kept telling me it smelled so good and it did and it tasted even better. Would definitely recommend and order from here again. Thank you!“

“Creative menu items, tasty food, and comfortable environment. They will surely outgrow this space when word gets out. They earned every bit of this 5-star rating! (Just grab the menu at counter, chalkboard is cute but hard to make a decision from).“

“Very cute coffee show about 8 minutes from Rock Island, IL. Here for work and Starbucks or hotel coffee isn't my thing. Really liked the vibe of this place, coffee was good, chicken wrap was good and view was great. Seattle vibes in Moline.“
