    Review Visit: March 27th, 2018 Does The Spot Coffee hit the spot? The Spot Coffee started out as a mobile coffee truck, making rounds here and there, delivering caffeine to the residents of local central Illinois since 2016. Due to a growing fan base, they set up shop and opened in February 2018. On a dreary week day, my friend and I rolled in during lunch time to a fairly packed place. We were greeted promptly by a nice staff that took our orders and served up our drinks quickly. I ordered a hot Salted Caramel Latte and my friend ordered a cold Banana Bread Latte. This is the first time I've ever seen Salted Caramel offered and I must say, it was delightful. I'll need more if it in my life. My friend let me try her drink and it was also pretty good. The interior of The Spot Coffee is fairly small, so if you have a large party, plan ahead. If it is just you and a friend or two, they can accommodate you no problem. For being small, it didn't feel claustrophobic and it felt like it had a nice level of coziness to it. I give props to whoever designed the inside for doing great. They even have a spot to sit at and look out the windows while you sip a coffee on a cold and dreary day. A few other things offered here is a back room for kids. While my friend had her son with her, we didn't utilize it due to it being full. There is also a drive-thru if you are in a rush and you need that caffeine fix to go go go! They also have a small baked goods section. I didn't get anything this time but I will definitely try a cookie on my next visit. Other than that, there isn't much else to say about this lovely place. It definitely hit The Spot for me ;).

    Stopped in today for the first time. Great service, and a great tasting latte. Tried their salted caramel syrup. Not overly sweet and the milk was steamed to velvety perfection. About $7 for a large latte, standard price for today's coffee shop and not mad about it because the quality was great. Used the drive thru and I was in and out quickly. I'll be back.

    An amazing coffee shop in North Peoria. The staff were amazing. The interior was quaint and decorated very well. One of the best Coffee's I had in Peoria. The small size was huge. The blueberry muffin was also good. There is drive through. Overall a great coffee shop.

    When spending the day with my dad, we were looking for a little place to sit and catch up. He is an avid coffee drinker so I looked on Yelp for a local business to try. This place was the perfect choice! There is both outdoor and indoor seating available, but it was a hot Fall day so we opted for the air conditioned interior. We were able to sit in peace, enjoy our delicious coffees, and share conversation. My dad is SUPER particular about his coffee and he greatly enjoyed a cup of their regular drip coffee. I opted for a cold brew with heavy cream and it was probably THE BEST cold brew I have ever had! It was so rich and creamy with no bitter aftertaste. The pumpkin pecan scone I ordered on the side was dense, rich, and flavorful. You can tell they put a lot of love and pride into their business. The owner even came over to say hi and tell us about the coffees we ordered. She was genuinely warm and caring, almost like she was welcoming us to her home. Definitely a local business I will be supporting during my future visits to Peoria! Give them try for your next coffee fix!

    We got a lavender iced latte with vanilla cold foam, the all nighter, and salted caramel latte. The all nighter was maybe not my favorite, but wasn't bad- it just had a weird texture. But the lavender iced latte and salted caramel latte were 5 stars for sure. The shop is so cute and the service was so good. The workers were so, so kind and were very quick. Would come back for sure. It's a cute little ~spot :)

    Stopped here after visiting family in Peoria. I'd say this is one of the best lattes I've ever had. Nice balance of milk to espresso. The drive thru option for a small coffee shop was also a nice perk. Service was quick and efficient. Will definitely be back when in the area.

Now as for the food, for a town like Washington, I do believe it is good and would come back to if I do feel like having sushi, But putting it on a larger scale outside of the area, there are other options that i can see people willing to drive out a bit for. I think the sushi rolls are over sauced and you dont get much of the flavor from the actual roll itself. I want to be able to taste the other aspects of the roll, not just the spicy mayo and unagi sauce. The chicken dumplings were bland however the chicken teriyaki was cooked nicely, not too tough and not over sauced. Then the fried rice had too much soy cooked with it making it too salty.

My husband was so excited to surprise our baby girl and me when he drove us there the other night when they had just been stationed there for their first few days. We each had their funnel cake and lemon shake-ups. The price was a bit pricey but I suppose If you were to encounter them in their natural location I.e. at our local fair we wouldn't think twice about the price. The funnel cake was awesome! Soft and sweet and just scrumptious del-li-icious! The lemon shake-up was okay to good - more sweet and water than lemon. Next visit was on their last day in Bartonville before they pack up and head to Dunlap. This time we had our oldest boy tag along. So, funnel cakes for all and a lemon shake-up for me. We dive right into the funnel cake...hmm, no one says anything. I'm a bit disappointed I think to myself that my powdered sugar is only on one side of my funnel cake but hey, it's still a funnel cake, right? A few more bites...and finally the baby girl speaks up and says, this is hard and bitter. My thoughts exactly. I try and take a piece from the middle hoping it was just the outside edges that are too crispy but no, the whole thing is hard and crispy with a funky bitter taste. Perhaps their deep fryer needs an oil change? Just not sure what is causing this bitterness. But I do know I can't take any more bites because it's so hard and crispy that it's actually hurting the inside of my mouth. So, I ask the baby girl to pass hers up and I will go and show it to the women who are making it and surly they will make us fresh ones. I ask my oldest boy what about yours? He says yeah, mine is that way too, but I didn't have the first funnel cake like y'all did so I'm okay with this I will manage. So, the hubby and I walk back up to the window and there are two ladies waiting to take orders. I apologize (not sure why I felt the need - but I did) and I said we were here earlier in the week and had funnel cakes and they were awesome! But we just ordered 3 now and well....they are hard and crispy and have a bitter taste. I pulled one out of the bag to show her. She grabs it and pulls it apart from the middle and clearly she is NOT happy. She offered me no options whatsoever. Does not say a word to us, opened up the register and refunded the money for the (2) funnel cakes that I brought up and as she handed it to me, gave us the nastiest look ever. Upon that I took my money and left. Needless to say I was very disappointed since I didn't get another funnel cake and I was completely taken back by her non verbal attitude she was throwing down at a customer. I believe I apologized to her at least 3 times, me...the paying customer. When one would think it should have been the other way around. However, on a high note - the lemon shake-up I ordered this time was perfect. Right amount of lemon, water and sugar! It was excellent. Too bad really, they seem to have a lot to offer between their funnel cakes, elephant ears, fried Oreos, etc. Unfortunately, I now see that I will no longer visit her food truck again. This covid-19 will one day be over, and the fair will open again. Then there will be many options for me to find my funnel cakes but the one I will be sure NOT to visit will be the Fried Dough Shop.
