    Came here at 5:00 AM with a couple friends and got a White Chocolate Mocha and it was delicious. Baristas were sweet and fun to talk to. Inside was clean and service was quick!

    Ordered a venti blond roast with a splash of heavy cream. It took 26 minutes to make. Unbelievable. The screenshot was taken the exact minute the coffee was handed to me.

    Turns out, Rockford has hipsters. And who loves hipsters? Well, besides almost no one- ME! Hyup. I love 'em. And I ain't afraid to say it and I, for one, am glad someone's finally bringing back those shirts with 5 cats standing in a row on the front and their 5 butts and brown eyes on the back. Call me crazy, but I'm into it. In the city hipsters hang inside indie coffee shops. In the suburbs hipsters hang outside indie coffee shops. In Rockford... just chillaxin' at Starbucks. Inside at a two-top or outside on the patio... that's where it's at. When in Rockford and scouting for hipsters, I'd recommend coming here. It's where the hips hang, the iced Chai is a decent do and the mocha cookie something-something is addicting and takes about 6 minutes longer than you'd like it to... but hey, it's R-Ford. What else were you gonna do with those 6 minutes? Extra credit for having a drive through.

    Again, this is my go-to Starbucks. Literally am a usual. Literally, they've gotten cleaner, as in the garbage a hasn't been overflowing. The bathrooms have been tidy. The tables have been less sticky(some). Service still at point. Greetings are always there as you walk in. Music isn't as obnoxiously loud as before, so those who come in can now focus on what they are doing. (I've been to all the Starbucks in Northern Illinois region/Chicago region, from Mid to southern Wisconsin, and West Coast area--such as Nevada, Arizona, California, and Oregon) this is by Far THE BEST Starbucks! With service, friendliness, attentiveness, accuracy, precision and etc. They've cleaned up. So even better. Still waiting on my MAGIC GAME with Richard and Collin now. 5stars till I get that game. Lmao.

    Prices are ridiculous for a place that offers nothing special. No ambiance in any Starbucks wherever you go.

    A little crowded when I was there. Everything else was great, but I like the one on Alpine better.

    super delicious cold brew! I was scared it was gonna be too bitter but it was amazing if u like…read moresweet but not too sweet drinks! 10/10

    Power down, robot…read more While driving to Wisconsin, I needed some caffeine and was quickly approaching Rockford. I decided to see if there were any cool local coffeehouses to drop in and get my usual americano and Velvet Robot won me over with the unique name. Knowing nothing else about the place, I set GPS and took a detour for caffeine. I headed in and went straight to the counter. The barista was chilling out on a couch and watching a movie since no one else was in there. We made some odd small talk while I ordered my usual americano. That's when things got weird. He asked if I wanted steamed milk in mine despite me ordering it just black. He seemed confused as I was telling him that they are usually just water and espresso shots. As he was putting my drink together, I noticed he used the handwashing faucet to add the water to my drink. I thought that was really really odd and if not a bit unsettling. Surely they have an actual tap for adding water to drinks? After my drink was made, I went on the hunt for the bathroom. The building that houses Velvet Robot is massive. It almost feels like a mall or a convention center. It was seriously a 1.5-2 minute walk to the bathroom and along the way, it was wide open spaces filled with a church and some offices. As for Velvet Robot itself, it honestly feels like the kind of coffeehouse I would've designed in my early teens. It had cool aesthetics, there was a small arcade corner, stickers adorned the coffee counter, and skateboards with sick art along the walls. I really dug the feel and vibe of the interior. Sadly, when I got to my car and started sipping on my americano, I knew this robot fizzled out. The americano tasted like it was made with drip coffee instead of espresso. Which is weird since I saw the barista make my drink. On top of that, having to explain to the barista what and how to make an americano was a head-scratcher for me. So, while I loved the aesthetics and vibe of Velvet Robot, the disappointment in ordering and taste of my drink has me leaving one of the lowest scores I've ever given to a coffeehouse. Definitely a 5/5 for vibe but 1/5 for coffee and ordering. Maybe if the future allows me to revisit Velvet Robot again, I would gladly give it another shot (no pun intended). But, I don't see myself trying it again until I've had a few of the other places in Rockford first.

    I've only been to Rockford twice, and I've been here twice, so that's telling. I didn't even…read morerealize I had been here before until I walked in. The first time, my friend recommended Eggslusive and the second time, Yelp did. Anyway, service is quick and friendly, and prices are about what you'd expect for brunch unless you get an expensive special (which we did not ). I loved seeing items on the menu that I don't normally see on brunch menus like halal options, naan dishes, and Mediterranean meals, all of which I was tempted to get. I ended up getting the chicken tinga skillet and substituted to get something called simit as my side instead of toast. The waitress described it as kind of a pretzel bread, which I feel was accurate. Lots of sesame seeds, and it came with jam, which was delicious! The vibe is cozy and local, and come to find out that the business owner is Turkish, which we loved to know and support. I'm also not a bacon person, but I enjoyed the bacon here because I'm not a super super crispy bacon fan. The waitress was also super sweet and provided a coffee refill in a to-go cup for my husband to enjoy in the car on our way back towards Chicago. The only thing is that one of my poached eggs came out more hard boiled than runny, but everything else was great. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. Note: we got one of 2 parking spaces left remaining, so know that parking can be a bit tight on weekend mornings.
