Rockford Roasting Company — Restaurant in Rockford Township

Unfortunately my visit to Rockford Roasting Company fell short. The coffee shop was in a convenient location with plenty of parking around. I really liked the look of the coffee shop too and they had a good variety of available drinks. The downfall started when it came to actually ordering and getting our coffee.

We showed up and only had 2 other couples in front of us. One ordered, paid, and sat down. As the second was ordering the cashier (rather than one of the other 2 workers standing around) just walks away to tell the previous one that a drink they ordered actually wasn't available. Eventually it gets to us and we begin to order and the cashier walks away in the middle of our drink order to ask a coworker a question so we have to start over. After the first drink order she walks away again and said she isn't actually sure if they have that either and had to check. While waiting for our drinks we kept looking up there and often the 3 workers were just standing around talking when there were still drinks to be made and a few more people in line. We also saw multiple parties walk in and leave after standing in line for a few minutes without the line moving at all. The two couples who ordered before us both had a question and asked one of the workers who had no idea how to answer. We got our cold brew after about 5 minutes which isn't bad, but they didn't know if they actually put the syrup in it or not. It somehow took another 20 minutes to get a latte.

To me it seemed like nobody had any idea what they were doing. Overall the coffee was good, but by the time we left we had already decided we likely wouldn't be back.

Pro: Good coffee Nice location

Cons: Workers Time it takes to...

In town for a wedding this weekend and asked the baristas at Starbucks by my hotel if they had a local shop they recommend. All were in agreement that this was the spot to try!

This place impresses me in a variety of ways. The first thing which stood out to me was its wonderful aesthetic. It's cozy and modern; providing a welcoming environment for many to come and get great coffee in a place which is great to either grab a coffee and go or stay awhile. The baristas are incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and made an extra effort to provide me quality service - even recommending great lunch venues in the neighborhood! Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they have great coffee. Roasting in small batches, this shop gaurantees that your coffee will be fresh, and the bean will retain it's full potential as you consume it.

I personally loved trying their New Orleans drink, and I actually came back later to try out their Nitro cold brew!

Oh, almost forgot, there's actually a great amount of seating! This establishment provides outdoor, lower level, and an upstairs seating area! Both the outdoor and upstairs have a wonderful peek into the main street district, and all areas feature great, natural lighting (a huge plus for me!)

Thank you for providing a welcoming environment which I will...
