“Fantastic place to stop in for a high-quality espresso.I visit the Peoria area roughly once every two years, and CxT has been my go-to spot for coffee while I'm in town for the past couple of visits.Their standard house espresso (as a doppio) is part of my morning routine every day, and I haven't found an espresso to match it elsewhere in Peoria. The baristas are fantastic and knowledgeable about their products, the store is kept clean and has a nice appearance, and I've felt nothing but welcomed whenever I've come in.From the brief couple of times I've tried other drinks (a cappuccino here and there, something akin to a maple cayenne latte a couple weeks ago, etc.) they've been excellent as well, but I don't know if I'd say they're completely different than what you'd find at any other high-quality café.Anyway, I'd highly recommend CxT Roasting Company to anyone, but especially for those espresso aficionados out there.“

“When "Walgreens" pops up as one of the few options for coffee on Google maps, you can't help but lower your expectations. But omg Zion just went ahead and raised them right back up. This place is sick. Massive windows, lots of plants, a patio, a loft, couches, and a roaster right inside the store. This Scandinavian styled coffee shop is the stuff of legends, easily putting the rest of Peoria's coffee shops to shame. The baristas were energetic, knowledgeable, and fly as hell; the drinks were equally amazing. I got a chai latte, which looked so pretty I could barely drink it, and tasted so good I could barely stop to take a picture. Def check this place out“

“Ardor provides an incredibly wonderful culinary experience right here in downtown Peoria. The food is so fresh, high quality, and full of amazing flavors. Their menu features many different options and each is beautifully presented by the very talented crew. I’ve enjoyed watching the staff prepare the food to absolute perfection - Alyssa and Kaitlynn in the mornings and Emily and Zeke in the evenings. I regularly pop in and sit at the bar without a reservation. If you don’t wish to sit at the bar, don't be surprised if you can't get a table without a reservation, and even at the bar there can be a wait to get a seat. Last week I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it was the best comfort food. Visit often, try the new items, find your favorites, and definitely take home some bakery goodies. Make sure to try a fabulous cocktail crafted by mixologist, Kostas. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Maria and I popped in on a day that was supposed to be rainy and storm but ended up nice and sunny. We both hadn't heard about this place until I did some Googling and we made quick plans to visit it at our earliest convenience. We just happened to pick a day when they were doing road construction and I wasn't sure I would even be able to get in but there were other cars parked there so I knew coffee was soon in my future.The parking lot itself was very small and shared with the other businesses in this... interesting building. We parked and headed in and I was instantly feeling like we were in a house converted into a coffeehouse. No complaints there as that is one of my favorite aesthetics for a place that slings caffeine. The interior is rather small and tight but the decor was a homerun. I loved the things hanging on the wall, the cork coasters with fun little coffee sayings, the general vibe of it all tied together.Maria ordered her latte and I ordered my usual Americano and we took the seats next to the front door. It didn't take long to get our drinks and we settled in to our usual coffee hangout routine. While I loved the coffeehouse, I was indifferent on my drink. It wasn't as bitter as I usually like and had a weird... I don't know... diluted sweetness to it. While I always enjoy what I get to a certain extent, I would definitely ordered something different if I ever came back.If you are hungry, they don't have a food menu but there was some slices of cake or baked goods on hand. Not really sure what they were as there was no labeling to identify what they were (aside from one being GF, which would be for Gluten Free).Luckily, I really enjoyed the coffeehouse itself despite the cramped lounge/parking lot and the lackluster (in my opinion) Americano. It's a place I wouldn't hesitate to come back to for a caffeine fix.Parking: Parking lot isn't really marked and shared with neighboring businesses. Shouldn't have too much trouble finding a spot unless it's at rush hours.“

“Indian is my favorite cuisine, and I say with no hesitation, Bollywood Bites is the best I’ve ever had. I wish I had taken photos of the entrees, but once they came out we were too busy diving in to think about taking our phones out! We started our meal with #9: Gabbar Gobi 65 Dry, which is a fried cauliflower appetizers that my party of three agreed could have been an entree. The flavors were phenomenal and you’d have a hard time telling that it’s a vegetable (yes, that good!). For entrees we went with #31: Bollywood Biryani (which is a screaming deal at $14), #52: Rangeela Lamb Rogan Josh (the blend of spices is sophisticated and elegant), and #63: Hariyali Chicken (we did our best to break the chicken down to small bites so we could savor it for as long as possible).I’ve lived in Peoria for almost two years now and can’t believe that I’m just now becoming a patron of Bollywood Bites. I will be back, with every friend and family member I can gather.“
“My favorite place for a long time. Atmosphere is cute and everyone is so nice. I’ve gotten to know the employees and they’re all wonderful, remember you by name. I stop here regularly for coffee and the best chicken salad sandwich. A must to stop in if you’re in the area!“

“Every time I go here I’m super happy with it! Nice baristas, interesting drinks- I got a white chocolate iced espresso with salted caramel cold foam. Super strong and super good!!! The inside seems really cute too lots of little nooks and comfy couches and the food looks really good and surprisingly substantial for a coffee shop.“

“Incredible coffee and service. The coffee comes from the family farm in Columbia, and they use the farm as a place to offer employment and training to a population and demographic that might otherwise be overlooked.Over the last 3 weeks I’ve visited 3-4 times and the quality is consistent with each visit.Home made and/or locally sourced pastries are available (and delicious).The owner Marta is inspiring, friendly, and makes incredible drinks. Her staff, as well.Parking: The lot is not huge, but even with 8-10 people inside parking is no problem. There is a lot of street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: The ground level is very spacious.“

“I have been purchasing coffee from LNB for about 6 years now, maybe longer! Shannon is always so wonderful to work with at the Peoria Heights location. He always remembers me and is such a wonderful person. I can tell he enjoys his job and he always excels in delivering amazing customer service! I guess I am a coffee snob because no other coffee beans will do! Oh! And your Morton location also has given me the same kind of customer service! The lunch sandwiches are wonderful! Keep up the great work!“

“Great tasting donuts with actual frosting and not the watered-down runny kind at Dunkin. Prices are comparable, and they have a better selection. Haven't tried a drink yet, but they have a nice variety to choose from.Dietary restrictions: My daughter has a nut allergy, and this is the first donut shop in our area that accommodates!!“

Many flavors.“

“I have always loved Leaves and Beans as far back as their downtown location. I feel like their downtown location was so much better decorated and had a warm appeal than the one on Jackson Street. I have a few suggestions to make this location more inviting. First I would either paint or clean the baseboards and repaint the walls especially in the back room areas. There are many areas that the paint has come off. Also, for an added appeal to the outside area for spring and summer, add some pretty flowers in nice ceramic pots with cast iron tables and umbrellas. I know this will draw in more customers to the inside.“

“This is the best Starbucks in the Peoria metro area! The staff is always kind and courteous. Even when they are very busy they never seem put out when I ask about my order. They do an excellent job of keeping the drive thru moving and the Nitro Cold Brew is always COLD and ON POINT. Keep up the good work!“
“The coffee is incredible. They roast their own and offer flavors unlike any others I've seen in the area. They usually have vegan-friendly pastries and whatever milk will suit your fancy for a drink. The main sitting area is very chic and cozy. There are spots outside as well as a little nook inside if you need a quieter area to sit. As for the service, i absolutely love these people. They're so friendly and welcoming, and don't just flat out ignore you if you aren't ordering like some cafes do. It's in a beautiful historic building that always gives me inspiration whenever i go there to get work done.“

“Food like someone's favorite family member made it like... good good????☕ . Had the skillet with cheese. The onions potatoes? and green pepper were well seasoned and the cheese? was American melted ?? side of a short stack?. My manfriend had a bacon ?and cheese? omelet. He loved the bacon? was whole folded with the cheese? into the omelet, crispy enough to easily cut into but not too dry. Hot sauce? on the eggs? and a half order of biscuits and gravy, which was better than I make. That breakfast anywhere else would have been $35- $45 but this place was an amazing value ? Staff is funny and friendly. Regulars make the atmosphere great!“

“We were visiting out of town and stopped here for some bubble tea. The ladies greeted us as soon as we walked in and were very nice. We got an oreo and coffee slush. They were delicious I wish they came in a bigger size lol. I would definitely recommend this place.“
“I bought some cinnamon sugar donuts and sugar cookies for my son's birthday party as he had a few friends with several allergies attending. I wanted them to be able to enjoy treats as well. There happened to be 1 donut leftover and I tried it. It was AMAZING! Flavor was delicious, it was moist/not dry, and it wasn't overly sweet like regular donuts. I also want to give a shout-out to the owner for responding on such short notice for the ingredient list. I needed to verify the foods would be okay for the kiddos attending the party and she got back with me within a few short hours. Thank you!!!!!“

“Manager/Owner(?) is always great to talk to always smiling and helpful.The staff is ALWAYS very helpful, insightful, and courteous.The men's restroom is always clean.I think the staff has heard of thee old adage "If you have time to lean, you've got time to clean", always someone there wiping down tables or running a vacuum around, etc.“

“Everything here is always great! The staff is always energetic and smiling and kind! I order a cold drink usually and they always make it right. The store is clean and there is seating inside and out. The drive though is usually busy and people seem genuinely happy with their purchase and service. Its right in the corner of War Memorial and Prospect so it has a convenient location and if you live nearby, its a short walk up.Parking: The lot is shared with other businesses.“

“The atmosphere is good for getting some work done with plenty of tables for most times and outlets. This store unionized a couple years ago (I think it was two) and a lot of things went downhill as union busting caused turnover. It’s pretty disappointing that union stores don’t get tips on credit card transactions, too.But this is a review of the service which is great. Particularly a barista who usually has colorful hair and a gentle soul. She always brightens my day and clearly cares about everyone who walks in. I’m also always warmly greeted by the man who seems to be a manager there. I just love going here, especially on days when I feel bad, the staff has everything to do with that.Pro tip for other customers: bring cash for tip since they don’t have a credit card to prompt; or use the Starbucks app with your card attached so you can add a tip.“
“This wasn't me who went here so I don't know how this ended up on my rate now. I am not a fan of this place. If you like flavored coffees and strong coffee it's the right place for you. I can't say I ever had their food so I can't comment on that.“

“My preferred Dunkin because I know the Butter Pecan iced coffee will be the same every time. It's always ready when I go to pick up my order. The snacking bacon is tasty. The breakfast sandwiches are very good as well. The staff is very polite and friendly.“
