The atmosphere is wonderful! The staff are so friendly and helpful. My husband and I had lunch there. He had a wrap and I had a BLT. (Probably the best BLT I've ever had). We each got a coffee as well, which was delicious!. I would have given 5 stars but I'm still a bit sticker shocked. We spent $42 on a wrap, a sandwich, and 2 coffees. There are no prices for anything anywhere, but we didn't expect that. We might have gone somewhere else if we had known it would be $20 for a sandwich and a coffee each..
This coffee shop in downtown Moline is a fantastic staple. The owner is warm and approachable, and his presence adds to the charm of the place. I love the fact that they offer a coffee deal where you can buy a cup and refill it with any of the four delicious flavors of brew on the self-serve station. The ambiance is calm and inviting with seating options that include indoor and outdoor spaces. Plus, they offer public Wi-Fi, which is incredibly convenient. The coffee is exceptional, and I can't help but find myself drawn to this spot as my new go-to coffee place. Tell them Jake 1.0 sent ya!
What a great small town fine. Coffee is great and so many choices, breakfast sandwiches were great. Great service and very cute store plus outdoor seating.
Excellent food! Had the Chicken Caesar Wrap with the sweet potato chips! The vanilla bean blast drink was delicious as well! I would highly recommend
Breakfast sandwich was great. Coffee was good. Even better iced coffee with ice cubes that are frozen coffee. Would definitely return next time I’m in town.
There was live music for St Patrick's Day! Loved it!!
Food is okay, the drinks are great, atmosphere is lovely.
Super cute place. Stopped in on the way to a concert at the vibrant arena. Very friendly and accomodating staff. Food was great! Fast service. Nice atmosphere.
One of the best coffee places in the QC.
A very coffee shop type of crowd. Very friendly. The last time I was there, a gentleman was even playing the piano and singing. Great way to start your Saturday morning
Dead Poet’s is better than Red Band, and is one of the best coffee houses in the QCA.
Down by the John Deere Pavilion, there's a number of cafes, bars, and eateries of sorts along River Drive and 4th/5th Avenues. I've visited this part of Moline soooo many times for Bierstube, Bent River, Rebellion, or Bad Boyz Pizza, but never visited early enough to try Dead Poet's Espresso. Well, after a hearty breakfast this morning and a newfound and robust desire to get out and try new cafes, I resolved that today was the day to get over there and get a hot beverage. The space clearly has a carefully cultivated appearance. The dead poets theming is obvious on the surface - portraits of various long deceased authors of verse line the walls and the menu of specialty drinks bear many of their names. Beyond this, however, the furnishings and other architectural features provide additional depth to the experience. All of the walls in the space are simple brick and mortar which appear to be original to the space prior to it being a coffee house. The ceiling area has other distinct aesthetics, including stained and finished 2x4s throughout, HVAC ductwork painted a muted green color, and a mix of accent lighting from drop fixtures and somewhat ornate ceiling fans. The whole of it comes together to give the feeling that the coffee house might actually come out of mid-19th century Moline. It's a neat feeling - everything looks old, but clearly isn't and is, in fact, well kept up and clean. I opted for a green tea (a Lavender Jasmine this time) and a brown sugar cinnamon scone. Both were quite tasty - in fact, the Jasmine Green Tea was the best I've had anywhere in a while. No joke, I would come back here just for this over and over again. I talked to one of the baristas and was informed the tea is from Tea Source, which, from a cursory internet search, is fairly modestly priced. I'm eager to look a little more. This visit was made further unique by a gentleman playing a grand piano in the corner. All simple arrangements and light singing to songs like "What a Wonderfu
Nice coffee shop, good food. Coffee is great.
Fabulous fabulous coffee shop. Very cute very accommodating. The BEST coffee!!!
Staff is wonderful and helpful. Coffee is always delicious
The coffee was really nice and the awsthetic of the coffee shop is pretty unique! My friends and I had a great time sitting and sipping the coffee
The shop was very clean and inviting, the staff very friendly. I got a large iced "Poe" as Edgar Allen Poe is one of my favorite poets and it was very good! I hope I get the chance to come back and try something new next time!
Top shelf experience with awesome customer service!!
I got a plain large latte no flavorings. $6 is definitely high for what I pay at most places. Espresso flavor was average, milk was over steamed and lost all it's aeration.
Fresh, simple, friendly, cost effective breakfast. Oh, and the coffee is great as well.
