thirty-thirty Coffee Co.

Very cool space, lots of seating. Went here just before 8am for a latte and pastry. No skim milk, no sugar free syrups, and no pastries (yet they said). Seems like bare minimum for a coffee shop but the latte we did buy were delicious with cute foam designs. I'd give them another chance.

Quality has decreased substantially in the past 3 months. Coffee is poorly made. There was no sweetener available for a week (I was told they ran out and the "shipment" had not yet arrived). Needs better management and trained baristas.

Wow! BEST cup of coffee that I've had in a very long time! Don't be intimidated if there's a line because it moved quickly and frankly you won't find better coffee. Extra bonus: it was inexpensive compared to big-chain coffee.

Would have liked to try this place, we walked in at 2pm on a Saturday and the workers looked up and abruptly said they are closed… even though the store was open and the hours said Saturday open 6am-6pm on the door, that was again, unlocked and open. I understand if they needed to close early, but maybe they could have been a little more nice about it.

Very friendly staff. They answered all of my questions and described the different coffees they were featuring. I enjoyed watching them make my cup of coffee. Great environment and very clean.

Coffee was excellent. I don't remember the exact name of what I had, but it included rose water, cardamom, black pepper and some other spices, and was a terrific combination! Kids enjoyed the fruit smoothies as well.

Unique building with a relaxing atmosphere...of course I can't forget to mention the huge taxidermy bear standing guard near the door. Their espresso drinks are delicious; they offer non dairy milk options. Last time I visited I picked up a bag of their house-roasted beans, which brew a rich and delicious cup of coffee. A real treat on painfully early mornings.

Thirty-Thirty has become an icon in the Peoria business landscape.

Thirty-Thirty Coffee took Peoria by storm. It opened up at a time when I wasn’t interested in coffee, nor had my travel list going, so my knowledge of the place is a bit lacking. It set up shop in an old Anheuser-Busch building that also houses Margie’s Cleaners. I figured it was an odd location for a coffee shop and didn’t think it would last too long. But was I proven wrong by it not only becoming a Peoria staple, but them also opening up a 2nd location.

My friend Matt and I decided to finally try it out one day. Gosh, do I regret not trying the place sooner. We both ordered a Vanilla Bean latte or something like that. It was phenomenal. We took our sweet time drinking it to savor the little bit we had.

The staff was pretty friendly towards us and the people around us. They have a bit of a reputation of having a hipster/’better-than-you’ attitude but I never got a hint of that while I was there. Now the giant stuffed bear is another story…

What’s that? A giant stuffed bear? Yes, there is a giant stuffed bear in the coffeehouse. But you could probably already tell that by the main photo. He has to be a hit with all the new people that come in the door and he’s a great opportunity for a photo-op. Which is what we did.

As mentioned previously, they opened up a 2nd location within the last year or so. It’s in the Junction City Shopping Center. Typically if a place has multiple locations, I visit just one locale; but as I have grown as a traveler, I am debating visiting the other places to see what they offer. Maybe the 2nd location for Thirty-Thirty has a giant stuffed badger! (Update: The 2nd location is closing May 4th, 2019)

Thirty-Thirty has such a good reputation that even Alton Brown stopped by for a visit when he was in town. He gave them a thumbs up; so you know it’s good stuff if Alton likes it.

Stop by and have a delicious drink with the giant stuffed bear. You won’t be disappointed.

Delicious and simple coffee options. Loved the detail that went into my pour over.

Wonderful service and even better coffee! Thanks for the kind and considerate service!
