I went there this morning for a coffee and bagel with cream cheese. I ordered my coffee and then tried to order my bagel, the girl behind the counter said, “we aren’t serving food today, I’m the only one working.” I mean she was sitting down when I walked in, and I was the only customer. She was not busy at all. I guess I will not be going there anymore, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Just bad service all around.

Fun coffee shop in downtown Rockford that has a small menu but lots of flavor. In the City Market on Madison at State is this place to get something cold or hot. Velvet Robot has this location along with another one in town. Mostly it's coffee on the menu. They at times have food, but there's other cafes in this building if you have to eat something. Came in here in the morning to get coffee. It's about $5 for one of the seasonal ones. The prices are higher than typical chain places. Had some fall flavors the last time here. I got the Pumpkin Pie Latte. Tasted mostly like coffee but a little like pumpkin. Also the cold brews are popular if you want any. This makes it a good place for summer or any time you feel like. Getting coffee is the main thing here. It has limited times when there's food, but there's a bakery as well as a couple of cafes next to it. There's a dining area where you can come from any of these and have breakfast, lunch, or whatever.

I love this coffee shop! I got the iced baclava coffee and it was amazing, plus the atmosphere on the inside is a huge bonus. Definitely a nice little coffee shop I'd recommend to anyone in the area

I never thought I would enjoy a breakfast bagel as much as I did from a place like a cafe, I'd definitely be happy to try anything else that they had to offer on the menu. The other selection of services inside was also enticing. Happy to come again soon.

So yummy!!! And seriously the employees are so sweet. I always get this girl that wears cute trendy clothes (I know doesn’t narrow it down in a coffee shop ?) and whoever she is she is the nicest girl and always makes me awesome

Coming from a coffee hater, the iced coffee is delicious. Sam recommended the Banana Stand on my first time in and boy did he get me hooked. The breakfast sandwiches are also incredible, big portions and cooked to perfection. Another big plus is how kid friendly this location is (Alpine)! My tweens love it and I can’t wait to bring my toddler for a special chocolate milk.

I recently visited Velvet Robot Coffee and had an amazing experience. The coffee shop has a cool and trendy atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about their products.But what really stood out to me was their girl scout cookie cold brew coffee flight. This unique and delicious offering features four different cold brew coffees, each infused with a different girl scout cookie flavor. I tried the Thin Mint, Samoa, Tagalong, and S'mores flavors, and they were all amazing. The flavors were subtle but noticeable, and they paired perfectly with the smooth and refreshing cold brew coffee.Overall, I would highly recommend Velvet Robot Coffee to anyone looking for a unique and delicious coffee experience. Their girl scout cookie cold brew coffee flight is a must-try, and their friendly staff and trendy atmosphere make for an enjoyable visit every time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ my wife brought me here the other day insisting I try the coffee ☕️ & I am so glad I did. Would recommend- friendly local place downtown. The bagel was great - nice and warm with a good amount of cream cheese (the way it’s supposed to be!) LOL ..give it try if you haven’t there is something for everyone to try!

Super cute, cozy, creative, and modern cafe. The drinks were super good, and the food was really fresh. I loved looking at the local art, and they even have a little gaming system that you can try and beat everyone else’s high score in. This super awesome horse mural was also nearby.
