Excellent coffee with a broad spectrum of flavors. No signature drinks, but excellent choice of flavors and strong brew. Even threw in an extra shot of espresso for free. Nathan was highly knowledgeable about the product and super friendly and I really appreciate the time he took to have a good conversation with us. Prices are very reasonable. Will certainly come again and will also try the bigger location in Junction City.
Tristan brews a great cop of coffee. As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur (snob) the Mexican brew was very smooth, rich and creamy, no bitterness and quite tasty. My wife had a latte which was spectacular as well. The decor is pretty trendy. Nice and clean. We bought a bag of beans and we’re looking forward to trying the Mexican on our own as well! Going back for some more coffee and chocolates!
I went to this coffee shop a while ago (when it wasn’t temporarily closed) with a friend and though it was the cutest shop! I definitely has the perfect coffee vibe ;) the coffee we got there was a good strong brew and tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back when it opens back up! 100% recommend!!
Excellent mocha with polite and quick service for a tasty handcrafted beverage. I really enjoyed my mocha! A nice treat on a Saturday morning! I will definitely return!
Could never say enough great things about this company. Suppose I will have to leave multiple reviews across varying platforms to show my full gratitude for the product and service they provide! Thanks team! You the best!
I remember when I went a couple of years ago, I believe the owners mom was taking care of the place because he was out of town. She makes excellent coffee!!
Best coffee in Peoria, bar none. Thoughtfully sourced, expertly roasted, and lovingly crafted by a team of kind, careful baristas. Store also has a selection of home brewing equipment, whole beans roasted in-house, and other things to browse.
Great coffee with super fun & kind staff. Stayed in for longer than expected to talk with all the employees. They are very knowledgeable about coffee & great to talk to!! Cold brew coffee with macadamia nut milk is BOMB!!!
I first came here almost a year ago. Tristan is a very friendly, knowledgeable guy. The atmosphere here is very laid back, great street views for people watching, but, most importantly the coffee products that he serves are incredibly amazing. He roasts his own beans, and one can tell that he takes a great amount of pride in what he does. Now, if youre in a hurry for a specialty drink, then this is not the place for you. But, if you want something that is carefully handcrafted, then this is most definitely the place for you.... Well worth the wait.
Huge coffee Connoisseur and have been to every coffee shop in this area and when I travel frequently I go to lots of others and I honestly have to say that CXT has the BEST coffee I’ve ever had and extremely grateful that it’s tight here my home town! This is coffee made by someone who really cares about quality beans and loves there job enough to make the most amazing coffee you will ever have! Don’t take my word though! Go see for yourself! I prefer the Honduras myself! Thank you Tristan! Cheers!
Stopped in for a coffee for myself and an iced coffee for my wife. Service was excellent, prices fair, and coffee excellent. Highly recommend you stop by and give them a try.
The people who work here are the best! I stop by three to five times a week to get a tea. All their iced tea is fresh brewed and their fruit flavors are all infused instead of syrup based. Best coffee shop in town!
Love stopping in and looking around this shop! Great coffee and candles.
Coffee Connoisseur or Average Joe there is something for everyone here. Responsibly sources, locally roasted. You can even get that perfect gift you needed while you wait for your drink to be crafted.
Top notch coffee, cool atmosphere, and always friendly staff (we love Tristan!). We keep coming back for more! I love the iced butter pecan latte and comes highly recommended by our family.
A quality cup of coffee with good customer service. Its a smaller shop, but enjoyable atmosphere. Worth stopping in for a drink
Wonderful coffee shop! Beautiful latte art! the owners are kind, compassionate, and want to ensure their customers had the best experience possible. Thank you for the pleasant coffee shop experience in downtown Peoria.
Awesome little hipster coffee shop in downtown Peoria. Our work team hits it up all the time and the service and coffee are always top-notch! Definitely recommend.
Just stopped in for an iced coffee (Ethiopian roast today) and it is fabulous. I am a regular visitor to Peoria and just found this place. Love the coffee and will definitely go back.
Great place and service. Family owned. Having coffee here is a form of art. Great chocolates too.
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. As I had my first sip of a CxT latte today, my instant response was, YUMMMMM!. It was so smooth and delightful. I was also able to chat with the extremely personable owner about his commitment to fair trade, supporting sustainable development, and his knowledge of the art of coffee was definitely extensive. Most certainly, highly recommend.
Our favorite coffee shop in town! One of the best spots to buy beans in Illinois. Excellent lattes and pour overs.
Kelly and team are simply the best. Stop in and try them out. Youll be back!
Hands down the best coffee in Peoria. Great service: courteous and knowledgeable. There is some seating inside, but if youre planning on staying with a large group, itll be a bit of a squeeze.
Great experience, staff takes time to explain brewing with you. Very kind and knowledgeable!
Has great coffee and friendly service! Nice decor. Recommend if your walking downtown.
This is hands down the best coffee in Peoria! You wont find a friendlier staff anywhere, the store front is gorgeous, and the coffee is worth driving from North Peoria to get. Love it!
The environment combined with great service made this coffee experience the best in Peoria. You can tell Tristan poured his heart and soul into his coffee. :)
I love all of you and your coffee. Thanks for fueling my caffeine addiction daily.
At home in Texas, I make some pretty good coffee with my Nespresso machine but this was the best coffee I’ve had in a long, long time. We stopped by on our recent visit to Peoria. The coffee is smooth with no bitter aftertaste. I had an Americano. Wish we had one like it in Texas.
Super friendly staff paired with amazing coffee. Also the have a card punch reward system so they will be seeing me again soon
Cold brew on a hot day! These folks know what they are doing!
Tristan roasts and brews great coffee! He was great to visit with each morning while I was attending a conference at the civic center nearby.
Their coffee is amazing! It feels good to support a small family-run business that shows so much passion for quality coffee.
This place makes the best pour over coffee. It was great to stop and enjoy the Costa Rican and a donut at the shop this morning. Wonderful service.
Awesome coffee, and great knowledgeable staff. Met at the Market, but will be returning for the quality product and AWESOME staff! Thanks! Definitely worth the trip!!!
Great place to go for the coffee connoisseur; top quality brewing equipment for sale, quality selections of coffees, quality baristas to inform you about all things coffee...quality is what one should take away from this review.
Hand down, best coffee I have ever had. Friendly owners truly care about quality and make a science out of roasting that translates into art you can taste/experience!
They will open up the Apollo for you if you need more seating! Great place for a meeting.
Great coffee! Excellent staff!
Attentive staff.Great coffee...worth a visit.
Beautiful place with an excellent selection of coffee. Much nicer than Starbucks, and it costs less.
Great Coffee !!!! I had iced cafe latte and it was really, really good. Very pleasant and helpful staff as well.
Great coffee, knowledgeable and friendly owner, and a lovely variety of things to look at while you wait!
I had the affogato at the taste of peoria and I was super impressed, I will definitely be stopping in very soon.
Fantastic coffee! Friendly service and always worth waiting in line.
Tristan is an amazing barista. Great coffee and friendly service.
Amazing experience and world class coffee. At [CxT] Roasting Company, Tristan Popadziuk serves as your barista. Tristan is an experienced barista who has traveled to Costa Rica to learn the coffee process from plantation to cup. He personally roasts all the coffee that is served at [CxT]. While preparing your coffee, Tristans craftsmanship and attention to detail allows him to capture the complexity of the coffee while simultaneously retaining the unique signature notes of each particular variety. The result is excellent coffee. The best coffee I have ever had whether it be hot or iced. [CxT] Roasting Company also offers a variety of teas, chocolates, and scones. Seating is available both inside the shop and outside on the Main Street sidewalk. The sidewalk seats as well as the inside seats located by the window offer a nice view of downtown Peoria. I highly recommend [CxT] Roasting Company. It is a family-owned business and the familys passion for coffee and dedication to quality comes through in everything they do. You wont find a friendlier, more enthusiastic, or more knowledgeable staff or a better cup of coffee.
Had a pour over with beans from Peru. Delicious!
Best coffee in town. Very cool place
Very friendly, informative and professional. Great experience!!
Best coffee in town and very friendly service.
Not exactly a coffee shop per se, but the coffee is solid. Its really more a storefront shop that happens to have a roastery in the back. Didnt like being served espresso in a paper cup, but still good.
Great coffee from all over the world. Slow drip, v60 pour over, the real deal when it comes to coffee.
Very clean, staff is very nice, coffee is amazing!
Great coffee, brewed with care!
Simply great coffee!
Family owned quality products and service
