Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon to find a very busy afternoon going on. The place had almost all the tables and chairs filled with customers enjoying their drinks. The girl behind the counter was friendly and polite and took my order. I ordered a hot mocha latte with macadamia milk. I gave her my name and she said they'd call me when it was ready. I found one of the few open seats, a low sitting leather chair that was quite comfortable tyvm, and did a little people watching until they called my name. There was now a small line to the order line and I was pretty convinced I had made a good choice in coming here. In a matter of minutes later my name was called and my drink was ready. My latte was very good and the mocha made it even better. If you're in the area be sure to drop in and check them out. read more

Coffee shop in an industrial building. Bright and with good espresso drinks, which were served with a side of sparkling water. Good spot with WiFi. Seats can get tight and there could be a line (moving fast though) at busy time. Tried some pastry too. Was underwhelmed: bagel and scones were both very mid read more

The coffee is good, but the vibe is always weird. For a while they were selling monocle chocolate, their own brand. Then they stopped. When I asked about it they said "we never sold chocolate, i don't know what you're talking about" (The chocolate was back today) Today it was asking about their canned coffee because the fridge was empty (they have a shandy coffee/lemonade that is killer) They looked at me like I was an alien for wanting to buy a product they've had in cans in the past. They assured me they still have it to make but don't have it in cans sell. When I asked if they knew when it would be back the barista was frustrated and repeated that they had it to make. Ok fine, but I'm driving an hour home and liked the cans? Just a weird thing like it's a pain in the ass that i know what products they have and am interested in them. The Huckleberry Sage latte was great, the Barista was great for suggesting it iced. I'd have it again. I'm just giving up on expecting clear answers about what they carry. read more

Ordering was quick and efficient. Decor is hip and fun. Ordered a Chai Latte and about 3 minutes later it was done. It was ok but nothing to write home about. Mocha latte was delicious. The mint tea was also good. Overall, coffee is smooth and delicious! I'll skip the teas from now on but this mocha latte is delicious! read more

CXT Coffee in Peoria is hands-down one of the best coffee shops I've ever visited! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a vibe that's both cool and welcoming--it's the perfect mix of trendy and cozy. The atmosphere invites you to sit down, relax, and stay a while, whether you're catching up with friends, working, or just enjoying some "me" time. I live in Phoenix but visit family a few times a year and I think I go here multiple times while I'm visiting. As for the coffee, their espresso drinks are out of this world! I had a cappuccino, and it was actually really good--smooth, rich, and balanced just right. You can tell the baristas here are truly skilled and passionate about their craft. They don't just make coffee; they make an experience. If you're in Peoria and love great coffee and good vibes, CXT Coffee is a must-visit. I can't wait to go back! read more

I stopped at several shops this morning to explore the coffee scene in Peoria, and the carrot cake latte from CxT was hands-down my favorite! The flavor was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, just right--and the service was quick even on a busy Saturday. The staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Overall, a great experience. I'll definitely be back... and I love that I don't have to drive all the way downtown for a great espresso drink! read more

Review Visit: January 15th, 2020 CxT is back with a second location that is bigger, better and in a more awkward location. *pushes up glasses* Technically, this is the 3rd CxT location that has opened up. The original CxT is located on Main Street in Peoria. The 2nd was located where Java Jolt served drinks. Was being the key word. My friend Tim and I tried going there today to find a note on the door saying that location closed on December 23rd. Sadness I asked Tim if he wanted to try the new location off Knoxville and he didn't hesitate to say "yes". Back in the car and on the road before we knew it. Knowing the new place was in an odd location, I was surprised when my GPS took me to what I thought were some abandoned buildings. Pulling in to the area and looking around, I quickly realize that the backside of these buildings are anything but dead. It appears the whole area is being renovated for new businesses and CxT is one of the first to go in. Not expecting much due to the odd location, Tim and I got out of my car and headed in. I was pleasantly surprised to see almost all the seats in the coffeehouse were occupied. That's a good sign that the location isn't that big of a deal. Tim and I looked over the menu and quickly placed our orders. Tim got a turmeric latte while I got a caramel one. With the zany weather we've been having in Illinois, a warm and frothy drink sounded perfect... and boy, was it what I needed. The froth was smooth and creamy while the drink while light on taste was delicious. Tim said his turmeric was not good at firs since he got a mouthful of the spices but it evened out after he drank a bit more. They did appear to have some baked goods for sale, but since Tim and I had plans to get food elsewhere, we didn't partake in the sweets. But I have a feeling I will be back multiple times and I will get to try one then. The staff was very polite and professional while we were there. They did seem a bit bored once it slowed down but that could've been due to having so many workers there. As for the interior and decor, it was cozy yet modern yet simple. There were plenty of chairs and tables spread throughout the place. They even had a small bar in the middle of the shop for 3 people to sit side-by-side. For all the places I have been to, this one definitely ranks high on my list of well-done interiors. If you can get over the slightly odd location and the fact that you really can't see the shop from the road, you won't regret stopping in for a quick drink. read more

BONUS STAR! 6/5 Every single location exceeds expectations. What a treat! Not only is the service stellar, your order comes out in a jiffy! Now that I moved to St. Louis I love coming here as a treat. Just went to the downtown location and had their spicy chai with oat milk and my mind was BLOWN AWAY YET AGAIN! I wanted to turn my dang car around and go get another! Sad they are far away but you most definitely must try this place!!! I drank heaven today. read more

I'm so lucky to come across this location, it's close to home, and they are always time efficient! The atmosphere and ambiance of the place is very welcoming and calming as well. I'n very new to matcha, and was having a very hard time finding a recipe i liked and could stick with;and a barista and CXT showed me the way he liked his matcha which is: Oatmilk , + vanilla, and CINNAMON! And it was a game changer! I loved it. Not to mention, the pricing at CXT cannot be beat! read more

I'm a coffee snob. I bring my own picopress with me on trips, make my own espressos on a quality machine ... etc. I didn't expect much in Peoria in the realm of high end coffee. I was wrong. On first glance you walk in and notice a 3 group slayer espresso machine. Thats a SERIOUS machine. V60's, mahlkonig ... high end coffee apparatuses. You can see the roasting machines through a window outside. Pretty sweet setup. Okay - this company either has a lot of money or they are very about serious coffee. It's the latter. Smooth espresso with excellent taste, clarity, depth, mouth feel ... blah blah ... all those other words coffee nerds love to use to describe the taste. It's great coffee. Period. Perhaps the best in Illinois. Definitely my favorite. read more

Love this place. By far my favorite local coffee shop. We have a great selection of coffee shops in the area, but this is my favorite. Wonderful coffee! read more

So cute! So yummy! I got an iced vanilla latte with Biscoff praline cold foam, and I can't recommend that drink enough! It was maybe my best coffee drink EVER. read more

I wouldn't consider myself a "regular", but it's nice being recognized by the genuinely happy and caring staff. There's not a bad thing on the menu and the treats they bring in from area bakeries are just as yummy. A++ for atmosphere as well. The natural light is lovely. All the baristas are wonderful, but Karis is fan favorite. read more

CxT serves a first-tier cup of Java, the staff here is efficient & friendly, and the atmosphere  is relaxing and conducive to socializing :-) Tip: The prices here are on-par with many other coffeehouses in Peoria, but their coffee is 2nd to none! There's lots of easily accessible parking AND a wide variety of seating choices - highly recommended! read more

Found the spot on yelp while visiting family. Had an amazing latte. Love, supporting a small business.

Good coffee with a neat atmosphere! Love grabbing a pour over every once in a while here.

Peoria is so fortunate to have this business! The patio is so chill and inviting, the staff exceptionally friendly, professional and helpful, delicious coffee and baked goods and the cherry on top... reasonably priced! We had pour over iced coffees and selected a roast with the help of the staff...they KNOW their coffee...it's not just a job. To go we got a blueberry cream scone they sell from Great Harvest...WOW...after it warmed in the car probably the best scone I've had. Such a gem to have access to on the bike trail and easy in and out location on Knoxville! The downtown shop is great but if you're wanting to stay awhile this place is gold! read more

Our " go- to" coffee store for best taste. Love the Colombian regular and decaf. Their specialty drinks are usually tasty, too. They have had a few glitches in their online ordering, which is frustrating as it has gone on for too long. We have been given an explanation of " we're working to fix that" for several months, now. Ordering ahead is convenient as we like to purchase larger portions than what is on their shelves. During COVID they were amazing service wise. Wonderful coffee but they need to step up their service once more. read more

Very impressed with this local coffee shop! They're doing a great job adapting to new regulations for COVID and I definitely enjoyed visiting here. The baristas are very friendly and willing to explain a drink if you ask. My mom got the apple cider donut latte and it was INCREDIBLE. A very unique fruity flavor with oat milk, it was great!! I got a plain latte with oat milk, and it was also good. Love the interior too- can't wait to visit again. read more

Hands down the best coffee in Peoria, and a wonderful small business to support. Ample seating for those needing to perch and caffeinate, and surprisingly quiet even when the roaster is running full speed to roast your next cup of beans. Baked goods are locally sourced and include some GF options; drinks menu include a robust complement of teas and non-dairy milks (oat/macadamia/almond). read more

Very nice local coffee roaster. Very cool & modern space for hanging out, open & bright w/ lots of natural light. Top notch coffee, the kind that doesn't need cream and sugar, has a natural sweet and not burnt taste. Personally, I do filtered coffee w/ espresso shots, but they have alll the options and very capable barista team as I watched them work. I also bought beans (dated)) and if I remember I'll try to at least post pic oof packaging and report quality of beans when French presses. read more

Everything here is done to perfection. The staff is always helpful and the coffee is fantastic. We live out of town but are in Peoria every month to visit family.

I cannot recommend this place enough - what they have done with the old IDOT location is nothing short of amazing. Can't wait to see the new cocktail lounge they are adding soon. Enjoy! read more
