Kiddie corner from Bradley's campus, this is a great place for families making a college visit to stop. I've been many, many times and on this latest Peoria trip stopped for both a breakfast and a dinner. We had great, quick service both times and delicious meals. I HIGHLY recommend the appetizer sampler platter, it is my favorite thing on the menu! A trio of great apps including a creamy spinach artichoke dip with warm bread, perfect pico de gallo with tortilla chips and fresh hummus with warm pita triangles. Perfect for sharing or just having as a meal honestly! We also love the Mac n cheese and burgers! For breakfast, I recommend the Belgium waffle- it is so good!! They have a variety of typical breakfast fare as well.

Review Visit: October 30th, 2017…read more With my love for coffee and visiting coffeehouses, it is a surprise that this place popped up in Peoria without me knowing. My friend and I were actually heading to Riley's Cupcakes and Coffee Lounge for some caffeine and sweets when we found out they were closed on Mondays as of recent. Sad at the thought of not getting to try a new coffee place, my friend suggested we try the place a few doors down. Come to my surprise that there was a newer coffeehouse right there. So, in we went! [CxT] appears to be a new coffeehouse in Peoria, a city that seems to be going through a renewal of sorts... tons of new places, young places, fresh places... and [CxT] is a welcome addition, in my books. If cozy coffeehouses needed a photo, this place would be perfect. It's small with very limited seating but it's still open enough to feel inviting. Upon going in, we were greeted by one of the owners behind the counter and we chatted for a bit while trying to figure out what to order. Very nice fellow and I hope their company does well. My friend ended up ordering a Matcha Tea Latte while I ordered an Iced Caramel Latte. Oftentimes when I order my usual, it is either a bit too bitter or a bit too sweet, but the balance of this latte was a near perfect blend of flavor and espresso. It is easily a Top 10 for me. My friend said his Matcha Tea was pretty good. He had to explain to me what he ordered as I had never heard of it before. If you like their coffee a lot, they roast it themselves and you can get it in a multitude of flavors. They also offers some unique chocolates, which my friend bought and liked. They have these cool things that you stir in Hot Cocoa and it dissolves, giving it a new flavor. I want to go back and get a few of those things before winter fully hits! There appears to be art on one wall that is for sale. I didn't get a good look at them but they looked cool from afar. There is also a pretty decent-sized jewelry set up, if you need to accessorize while picking up some coffee. All-in-all, [CxT] Roasting Company is a great addition to not just Main Street in Peoria but also to Peoria itself.

Bucky even brought out two glasses of Sauternes to help celebrate the occasion and made my GF's heart melt. every staff that touched the table was so nice and personable. thanks again for the amazing night!! couldn't of been better!!!

The bacon was super nice, the mustard on the burger was ridiculously yummy. Did I mention those confit potatoes? Haha yeah I did, they were, off the chain, a dill garnish and some orange aioli that set it off!! The inside although we didn't spend much time inside was super cute, and has that riverfront done well vibe! A place you want to be in! This would have been 5 stars BUT The 18$ Bloody Mary! This was a TRAVESTY! It reads so well on paper....... Then you get it, it was the most flaccid Bloody Mary I have EVER had! It was basically a tomato juice and possibly maybe somewhere in there was any hint of some vodka, not the vodka that it advertised. The weak ass 4 little tiny pieces of prosciutto and cheese was a sad excuse for the oversold garnish. If the food wasn't as good as it was, this place would have gotten a 3 stars for overall. Note to the owner: Please revamp this ASAP! There's a huge culture behind a solid Bloody Mary and it's not hard to perfect one. It needs spice and life and it was just sad. Ok back to the review... GO HERE! If like me, you are looking for good food.... This is the spot! About me: I am a fresh transplant from Arizona, particularly the southwest, we're there's a Bloody Mary or Chelada, or a huge selection of hot sauce in almost every place you can eat.

I was surprised no one had this business on Yelp. Appreciated the service received and the recommendations offered. I come to Peoria I ften and seeing a soul food establishment finally is good.

Maybe it's when I cam, but there weren't any other establishments open cept for a barbershop, which I will come to next time. Now my brother wanted to try this place out because of the reviews on Google. The food was good? Hmmm, per my brother, the chicken was to oily. The catfish was nicely prepared. Just a SMIDGEN to much salt. The Mac n cheese was good. The greens were good per my brother and me since we both ordered it. Foot traffic was steady in the place.

I had seen the local newspaper cover their opening so I asked her that morning if she wanted to go and so we went. Maria had some trouble locating the coffeehouse as it's located inside a business-like building and then down a hallway. Once we figured it out, we ordered our drinks and plopped down for some sips and chats. Maria got a cold brew and I snagged a very large black americano. It wasn't super bitter like some americanos that I've had before but that was a welcome change. The owner/cashier was super friendly and Maria ended up talking to her for a bit while I looked around. It didn't take long to get our drinks and we sat down at one of the few places to sit in the small coffeehouse area. This place strikes me as a place better to snag your coffee and go back to work in one of the many offices around but the inclusion of chairs and tables is nice for those of us who want to drop in and chill with some caffeine and a friend for awhile. If you are hungry, there isn't much in the way for food besides them selling Tadoughs donuts and some small offerings like bagged chips. That wasn't a concern for me but I know Maria was hungry for something like a breakfast sandwich or the like. But due to the quaint size of the area behind the counter, they probably don't have the space for proper cooking instruments. All-in-all, a really cool and really small coffeehouse located in some kind of office building.

I will also mention that my previous business partner and I constantly went back and forth about the whole pest problem and it didn't seem to bother him that there were cockroaches infesting the place, but having someone spray the food prep area about 4 times in one week is ok.

It just so happened we popped in on their 1 Year Anniversary! What timing! We got there right at 10am when they opened and they were instantly busy. You can reserve time to hang out with the cats while sipping your coffee (or if you just want some kitty time) or you can enjoy your drinks/food from behind the glass. They were completely booked for the day due to their anniversary so Maria and I enjoyed our coffee (and my cookie) from the main seating area. Maria got a cold brew and I didn't see an americano on the menu but asked if they could make one and they happily obliged. I forgot to ask for it iced so it came out pipping hot (and not diluted with water) so it was pretty much 4 shots of espresso in a cup. I devoured the delicious cookie while waiting for my coffee (they were backed up with all the people coming in for their kitty cat reservations) so it took a bit longer than normal for my drink to come out but that was fine. I wasn't going anywhere. Since it was pretty much pure espresso, it didn't have much flavor but was still decent. This place gets their coffee from Intuition Coffee in Peoria. Maria and I chatted and caught up on life since it had been a few week since we hung out. In that time, we saw so many people come and go just to see the kitties. One of the ladies even paid for the adoption process for a future cat owner. I think that was called 'sponsoring a cat', which warmed my heart to see that there is still good out there in this increasingly negative world. Sometime in the future, I would love to come back and spend 30 minutes in the room with the kittens. They were all super adorable and I need to give them all pets and love. As of this blog post, I think they've adopted out over 150 cats in the year they've been open. That number might be incredibly higher but I don't remember the exact amount we were told when we were talking to the very friendly people at the counter. Meow this is the kind of place I can get behind.
