Cool Beanz- Rock Island

Cool Beanz is a local gem to the Quad Cities. There is great service, excellent coffee and great food here.

I really like going here during the summer when my employers dinning facilities are closed to get a quick lunch since much of their menu tends to be summer-ish style food. I also like having brief work meetings here.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I wish the menu had a few more vegetarian/vegan offerings.

My 10-year-old daughter had to write a persuasive essay about her favorite restaurant. She wrote a two-page piece on how much she loves Cool Beanz Coffee house. I love it too. Not a huge menu, but everything is good - especially the seasonal items. I don't get creative with coffee drinks, but the smoothies are delicious. This is my office away from the office. It is a great place to meet friends, do some work, listen to some music, or sit in a big soft couch and read a book.

I ordered coffee. I received coffee. It tasted like coffee. 5/5

Wonderful locally owned coffee shop. Good drinks, delicious food, fun activities (open mic nights, live performers, discussion or reading clubs, etc). A bit cramped and not very private seating, still an enjoyable place to work, study or relax.

Nice atmosphere and pretty good coffee. The pastries and sandwiches are tasty and a great small meal. If you're not a coffee person they have a nice selection of teas, smoothies, and Italian sodas.

Great coffee, good food, and excellent customer service. Someday when things are safer, it would be so great to enjoy some live music here again. In the meantime, their curbside pickup is great.

Unfortunately, my 1st experience here was during a Mimosa Madness event. When my friend and I arrived we waited in line for 10 minutes before we ordered, no big deal. Then there was no where to sit, so we sat on the steps to the stage. More than an hour and a half later our food arrived. Cold. The mimosas were good and the coffee was good. The food was overpriced. An hour and a half for food is ridiculous. Unacceptable. If we had been told when we ordered it would be that long we simply would have gone somewhere else that morning and come back at a less busy time. Now, I probably won't return. I feel like I was held hostage for nearly 2 hours after ordering. For breakfast. This place won't be affected by me not coming back, they've got a great steady stream of college kids who walk there from campus. We were definitely out of place there. Bottom line is, an event wad created and advertised, that they were not prepared to host. They had 1 person staffing the kitchen with an hour and a half wait for the so so food.

Cool Beanz is a great coffee house. Their food menu is small, but that's because there is a lot that goes in to each item. The coffee is good, and the beverage menu has a fun college theme. Presentation is great, and the staff was friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

Good place, nice to do homework or chill out and have coffee and a snack, but the drive-thru never seems to be open when I go there, it always has the sign, “join us inside” but what’s the point of having a drive-thru of it is never open.

Found this place by accident, and so glad I did. Great food and coffee. Their mini apple pastries are delicious too! Art'sie atmosphere, and they support local artists.
Gotta try their alcohol beverages later in the evening; some specialty drinks would make a great relaxing ambiance for late hour homework.
