392Caffe — Restaurant in Davenport

I'm not sure when 392Caffe started in the area. I only noticed it during a recent visit to the area for lunch at Pancheros. Truthfully, I didn't even recognize it was a cafe until I looked it up online. I needed something to cap off my meal and subsequent dessert at Cold Stone, however, so I decided to stop in for a quick tea.

The space is definitely bright. The majority of the walls and ceiling are white with small decoration, while the back wall near the restrooms, part of the coffee bar, and the menu are all black. The overhead also has a combination of exposed HVAC ductwork and accent lighting that contributes to this harsher design contrast. The flooring is also mostly unadorned, just a simple concrete slab. None of this detracted from my experience or is being leveled as a criticism, though. The space is clean, both in design and hygiene, and I quite like the industrial appearance.

I knew I wanted a tea and the barista helped walk me through their selection. I'm a mostly green tea drinker, so, I decided on a Himalayan Mountains green tea. A few minutes later, he brought me my drink, which came in a combination of a small carafe and mug. On the whole, I have no complaints about the tea. It's definitely different than I'd normally get - a bit more grassy and tannic than I'd prefer, but good nonetheless.

The one drawback to the whole experience during my visit was the overall noise level in the space. The entire time I was there, generic modern pop music was playing at a level above my general comfort. Personally when I'm going out for a hot beverage at a cafe, it's either alone to read/study or with one or two people to sit and quietly visit. This detracted from either of these possibilities. Maybe I just don't get it - some people probably like the louder experience and party-like aesthetic with their latte.

The tea was good and I'd probably stop back in if I were in the area for a meal again. It's an interesting space and everyone I talked to behind the counter was really...

First impressions (of this location)

Outside looks standard except that slick roof for the drive through 👍

I enjoy the fashion forward interior with all the sharp edges of the seats, counter, logo. Color choice is nice, black and white with a splash of a neon sign in pink.

COFFEEEEE!!! ❤️

My go to “rating drink” is a cappuccino. -Latte art on point. -milk temp on point -shots not acidic, just a tad lighter than what I prefer but am enjoying the overall experience. Maybe I need to get a cortado instead. 🤔🙃 bonus points for the pink mug and tiny black spoon, lol

BAKERYYYY!!!! ❤️ Having their cookie lots of chocolate chips! -lightly crunchy on the rims chewy on the center! PERFECT! -sweetness just right! -if I had to guess I’d bet money they use butter which is THE way to make cookies. price point 😢 too much for my taste but I paid to check it out. 🤙

Keep it up.

Bonus points on taste in music so far

Edit: back after a few months, low key suggestion, had the breakfast brioche sandwich. Flavor on point, brioche is amazing, sandwhich was a little too much bread for me, maybe adding a little more spinach, for extra texture. :) coffee still on point!!!

Edit: Nov. 3 keep it up I’ve gotten the turtleneck latte and the pumpkin drink, 1/2 less of sweeteners. Good stuff. Cappuccino still my go to and still consistent! 👏👏fall drink menu says 6 - 8 price point. Mine was 6 plus .50 for oat milk plus 15% tip totals $8 for a small, looks like 12oz cup.

Edit: Dec 19th had a hiccup with a plain coffee refill, confirmed with the owner Jay that emailed me back that there are $1.50 refills on coffee as long as you are drinking in house.

Update: Jan 2023 happy new year, having a mug of “diamond” coffee. So smooth. So enjoyable. Today might be my last time in a long time to...

Welp, I wasn't going to leave a review but I feel this needed to be said. A few weeks ago I ordered the Breakfast sandwich and substituted turkey instead of ham because I like how the sandwich is made just with turkey instead. The sandwich is 7.50 but the cost came out to 10 and some change. I asked a different worker why the price increased and they stated they charge extra whenever a change is made to the sandwich. I'm thinking "that's stupid" but let it go for the moment. Came back today and ordered the same thing and the reasoning now is because "turkey cost more than ham." That's the most ignorant statement because the Lunch sandwich comes with turkey and is the same price as the Breakfast. If I order the Lunch and ask for ham instead of turkey does the $2.00 come off the price then since you're stating turkey cost more to add? Smh. Also, the staff at this location isn't that friendly either. Probably...
