I went to gravastar coffee today before going into nails de vie salon before my appointment and attempted to order a banana bread chai latte with 2 shots of espresso and asked if it was okay to use coconut milk for my coffee bc I didn't know if they had any left. The person who took my order argued several minutes with me about how the drink should be made. I was telling her whatever is in the product that's powdered is fine but I need coconut milk as I am lactose intolerant to be able to drink my coffee without having stomach issues with regular milk. The service was extremely rude and I did not like how she was treating me nor another customer should be treated, if they need a silent change like a milk change or another substitute for thier order please don't try to talk them out of doing what they wanted unless that item is no longer available or simply say they aren't allowed to do customizations. I also had a bagel toasted, was good. read more

Friendly, efficient. Good muffin , latte was good (campfire) but a little Smokey for me. Husband thought black coffee was not the best. Clean, pleasant environment. read more

Good food, great energy drinks, nice place to go and work if needed. Has bathrooms and plenty of space, also has a drive through. Workers are very nice. read more

My go to coffee place, genuinely good every time. just had the best caramel vanilla latte ever

Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Only negative is that they don't have "regular" brewed coffee all day. Only in the morning. Seems kind of weird to me. read more

My coworkers and I stop in at least once a week with a large order. We are always so pleased with the excellent service and coffees. No matter how busy the staff is always pleasant and serve us very quickly. All orders have been correct, too. Thank you for your hard work and adding to our community. read more

I've been going here for year! The best coffee shop. My Toddy is consistently good! Good breakfast to go. Atmosphere is unique warm and inviting. The staff is friendly and quick! Love to start my day here read more

I was in town for the weekend and stopped by for a warm drink as part of my lazy Sunday morning... well, thanks a lot Coffee Hound, now 3 days later I already want to drive back to Bettendorf for another Dirty Chai. Yes, it really was that good! Probably one of the best Chai Lattes I've had - not too sweet, and perfectly spiced. I'm still thinking about how delicious it was. Coffee Hound is a must try if you're in the area! read more

Gravastar Coffee - An 16 oz energy drink/ blue Hawaii - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

The environment is so cute, very calm on a Saturday morning and the marshmallow latte was delicious. Loved it!

My go my coffee spot! Great flavored iced coffees. I learned that they roast the beans with the flavor so it's a sugar free, but flavorful, experience. The staff and managers are usually really nice and friendly. I only had one occasion where someone was a bit smug with me. Other than that I recommend you try this coffee house out, and go for the peanut butter pup flavored iced coffee. read more

I drove across the river to come to this place because I was disappointed to find that the highly rated coffee house closer to my home had limited hours, and I needed a place to come sit down for several hours and get my coursework for the week done. I am glad I came here--this place is really comfortable with soft leather seats as well as cafe style seating. Wifi is free, your barista will give you the password if you ask. Menu and prices are available at their website. I ordered simple drinks since I planned to be parked here for a while--the house drip coffee and some hot green tea with mint--they were pretty good and priced right. This place also has a drive through window. Decor is cute with framed photography of dogs. Service was polite and quick. I'll probably be here once a week from now until I'm done with my coursework. If I wanted a place to just hang out with my friends and have a chat over a cappuccino, this would be a great place for that also. read more

The staff, aside from the owner, are teenagers that are very eager to please. This means that while there is good customer service, they tend to seem a good drink is extra full of syrup. So tell them to go light on the syrup if that's not your thing. The decorations are cute and there's lot of good seating areas read more

My favorite coffee place early mornings!!!! Staff is always polite and very friendly. Wide variety of coffees and other drinks are available,great place to study also read more

Great stop right off interstate. Caramel Dream was perfect, don't settle for the 12 oz although, I wish I had gone for 16 oz as so delicious

The atmosphere is pretty chill but the coffee has absolutely zero flavor. Also, the staff seems arrogant and judge you if you don't know how to order your first time there. Personally, I'd rather go to any other coffee shop around the QC. Coffee Hound's prices are high and their quality of coffee and service is way low. read more

I drink a lot of tea and coffee. In the quad cities this is my favorite spot. I haven't hung out there so I can't tell you what the inside is like. They have a great assortment of beverages and the staff is always very nice. Plus they give my pooch a cookie every time I come by. It's gotten to the point where she gets the cookie before I get to order...... Prices are about average for a coffee place, the only thing I don't like is how they do their frequency cards... on the coffee holders which I either toss or loose, so I never get my free cup o Jo. A must stop for coffee lovers in Iowa....This place gave me hope after moving from NH years ago...I am a coffee snop and the DD on 23rd is a sad sad place...... read more

Coffee Hound has saved my life on multiple occasions. When I think I can't stay awake through my 13-hour day, Coffee Hound is there. When I don't have time to eat lunch, a barista hands me a meal replacement bar. Coffee Hound sustaineth me through nap time. It leadeth me to the Kingdom of the Second Wind. Coffee Hound was built on an ancient burial ground but used its incredible powers to exorcise the restless spirits, directing them to Paradise. I once saw a guy down an espresso, then deliver a baby in the parking lot. People who drink a caffe latte every day report that it reverses the effects of aging. In 1974, Freddie Mercury walked into Coffee Hound and ordered a Peanut Butter Cup Frappe. He later stated that this event inspired him to write "Bohemian Rhapsody." Also, something about dogs. Sometimes there are puppies hanging around. So that's cool. read more

I absolutely love coffee Hound! I go there at least once a week when I need a pick-me-up. They have great energy drinks and I very much enjoy their dirty chai lattes. The atmosphere is great and the staff are super nice. read more

Best coffee by far. No need for Starbucks. Owners and managers are helpful and kind and the staff works their tails off. Never had any order messed up. Been going here for years. Love my coffee hound. I suggest highly to go the next time u need a good coffee fix. They have one in the Bettendorf library even. My fav place is the store in Devils Glenn in Bettendorf. read more

Barista recommended pbp cookie frappe delicious! Definitely got my chocolate coffee and peanut butter fix read more

Gravastar Coffee - Peanut butter pup cookie frappe :-) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

Cute place, nice staff but the actual coffee is not good. I've been coming here for years, but only because it's close to where I live. If you want full flavored coffee, go elsewhere. If you're just looking for a place to meet up with friends, then it would work. read more

I've been a frequenter of the Coffee Hound for the last few years. There are a few reasons I keep coming back: +Atmosphere. This is the Starbucks lounge without all the corporate attire. Good music, comfortable leather chairs, tables for the WiFi warriors (free WiFi btw), local artists' artwork on the walls, local business cards on one of the tables... it's all very tasteful and relaxing. +Friendly baristas. They keep good people on staff, and you can start a conversation with pretty much any of them. The owner is very nice and a pleasure to be around. +Good drinks. They're well known for their delicious (yet kinda pricey) Frappes. There's also the full selection of other caffeine-infused beverages, including a few different types of coffee, lattes with an assortment of flavors (some seasonal flavors as well, and the egg nog latte is not to be missed), an assortment of teas, chai, smoothies, toddy, mochas, espresso, cappuccino, and iced versions of pretty much everything for the hot summer months. In general, the quality of their drinks are good, especially the toddies and frappes. Coffee is decent, and cappuccinos are nothing to write home about, but it is pretty rare that you come across a coffee shop in the US that does justice to the italian drink anyway. +Local. You know your money is going to a business within the community and not some corporation in Seattle or New York. This may or may not be a big deal to you, but since the drinks are pretty much as good or better than the local corporate coffee shops, I prefer to put my dollar into the community. There are a few things I don't like, but it doesn't stop me from coming here: -prices. Coffee and Tea are comparable to any other establishment, but their specialty drinks are kinda expensive. -When it gets busy, it can take a long time to get your drink. This is because there is both a drive-up window and a coffee bar, and there's usually only one or two baristas working at one time. I can understand why they staff it this way as a small business with tight margins, but it would be great if they could get a steadier stream of customers at all times of day to justify having more baristas on hand. -location. It's fine for me, being that I live in Bettendorf, but I can't help thinking they might get more business somewhere in Davenport, perhaps on Utica Ridge or Kimberly. There's a small take-out-only satellite shop on Brady, but I would think that spot would be a better place for the full shop and Bettendorf better for the small pick-up window joint. Their current location is good for snagging the Scott Community College commuters, but Davenport gets more traffic and is closer to St. Ambrose University and Palmer college, with their caffeine-dependent student populations. read more

The atmosphere is pretty cool with good music and couches to sit at. The coffee could be better, but overall, this place is definitely worth a try. Ask for the Barista Luke, he's not too bad read more

This is place is pretty alright. My favorite part- they aren't snobby at all. Cool, laid back type-a-place. Good coffee, good atmosphere, good people. read more

Bad customer service and the coffee was disgusting! I was just driving down and saw the cute store outside. The gentleman working was t helpful at all. When I explained the coffee was watery he just added sugar lol. I threw it away Wasted $4. read more

Excellent local coffee shop - cheerful and competent staff/barista, solid beverages from top to bottom, and a really nice space to sit and hang out. Good balance of tables, casual seating, and high top tables depending on what your preference is. Drive-up is quick and a little bit of outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. We stock the espresso machine at home with their espresso blend and it's consistently freshly roasted. read more

I'm so torn because I love the coffee & the aura of coffee hound. However, the past few times I've gone through the drive through, one of the younger employees has been so rude. She doesn't greet me or look me in the eye. She asks me how many shots I want in a latte, I say "whatever the normal is!" And she RUDELY says "it's either THREE, or FOUR." With an eye roll. How am I supposed to know that? She closed the window before I ordered my second drink. She was short & not friendly at all, and I came during perfectly normal hours. Then she proceeds to ASK if I want to add a tip. I have worked in food service & even a coffee shop before, so I understand the struggle. But I know she's making at least minimum wage. And if I wanted to give a tip, I would! I usually do. But not when I asked for it and certainly not when the employee is rude. It makes me not want to go back. Please have a talk with her as it is absolutely no way to interact with customers, especially nice and neutral patrons. read more

Terrible mochas. I paid for extra chocolate and the color was light brown. We poured out the mochas as they were so bad. Beware if you like good coffee. read more

This is where it all started for me. My girlfriend would always get the dirty chai and eventually got me hooked. This changed my daily habits from energy drinks to coffee and I haven't looked back since. Coffee Hound has never disappointed with anything on their menu. The latest expansion including beer from Green Tree is a fantastic idea and fantastic choice in beer to serve. I often buy whole beans from here to home brew as well. Our dog appreciates the treats too! read more

Love the "neighborhood" feel of this coffee shop.. Where they truly know your name and drink!! Amazing coffees and teas.. And great staff. read more

In addition to this place having great coffee, great snacks and an overall quality product they just blew my mind with customer service. I just finished a run and do not have my wallet with me. All I have is a $50 bill. When I pull up to the window there is a sign that says "we do not except bills over $20". I asked them to make an exception, and while they stood firm with their policy, the female working the drive-through (wish I had caught her name) asked me for my order and gave me a coffee. She told me just to pay for it next time I came through. What a classy establishment! That type of service will keep me coming back forever. read more

This place is great. Good coffee, good service. They can whip up a good cup of hot cocoa for the kids too. They have some cookies and muffins that were fresh when we picked them up. They have a drive-thru! They have a coffee sleeve punch card for the frequent customers. The free Wi-Fi works great. Saved my bacon a couple of years ago when I had to turn in a trip report! Do yourself a favor: skip Starbucks and stop here to give this place a try. read more

Though their drink menu is much much larger than McD's, the quality of their coffee is only marginally better than the ubiquitous fast food joint. But if you love dogs more than coffee, you'll probably go crazy for the all-canine-themed schtick. read more

Great coffee served with great service. I have never had the bloody Mary's there but they look/sound delicious! I love the cute names of all of the drinks and the atmosphere there. It seems like the perfect place to go and study or just hang out. read more

I like coffee hound, it's cute. They have great smoothies. I got a caramel almond milk latte and it wasn't great.

Incredible coffee that blows places like Starbucks away! Also, unlike what another review said, Beth and the entire staff are very friendly and helpful. I was never one to frequent a coffee shop but now I go daily. This wouldn't have been true has the staff not been so inviting. read more

I went to Coffee Hound for the first time today! It was pretty good, a little more expensive than Starbucks. I got the Peanut Butter Pup frappe. There was a lot of residual ice in it, it wasn't very smooth. Still good though! I'll be coming back! read more

I have not been back since one Sunday when I ordered a latte. The worker held the cup, fingers inside=spinning, before preparing my order. UGH. No manager on duty, so I just never went back. I am a 6-cup a day coffee drinker, but I don't want it seasoned with finger germs. read more
