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...

Went on a coffee shop field trip today to the North Peoria/Dunlap area to experience The Spot's land-based locale on the far north side of Knoxville Ave. The decor was clean, neat, and bright - a blend of upscale hotel lobby layered together with some stereotypical coffeehouse kitch that somehow worked together like latte art on espresso.

The Spot also has a travelling food truck and an active social media presence, so it's good at letting you know what's brewing. Flavor-wise, I've had several of their selections. The Peoria area is fortunate to have a local, vibrant coffee culture - and this fits in comfortably to that scene. While it wasn't so stand-out that I'd make the half-hour one-way trip again, it's definitely a "The Spot to" be if you're a local living in one of the nearby...

I love a good cup of coffee and The Spot checks all the boxes for me. I have had the Americano and the Miel and both are 100% worth getting. I am slowly sampling everything on their menu and am enjoying it to no end.
I have used their roasted and ground beans for my french press at home and it was almost like I was getting coffee from them every morning. Their coffee is better but taking home the beans was close second.
This is a definite place to stop at for any coffee lovers or for anyone having a rough day. The kindness and smiles from anyone can fix...
