Delicious coffee, unique flavors, great roasts, friendly baristas. Everything I've tried here has been fantastic. Half sweet Alter Ego is one of my favorites, but everything I've had here has been tasty. Equally delicious food and interior. Fun!

Love coming here when I'm in town for work (or other excuses I can find) because the energy drinks are tasty, the vibes are immaculate, and staff is almost always welcoming, quick, and willing to help. Sometimes people have Off days but I can't say I've seen many of those here. The shop itself is so cool-looking and unique for the QC. The MUSIC is also ?? ?? fantastic.

No complaints; keep doing what y'all are doing (and I hope there might be themed drinks and stickers again some day ?)

this place will probably forever be my favorite QC coffee shop. there isn’t a single thing on their menu i don’t enjoy, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming.

So, I get shuffled around to different locations in the QC for work. I had been eyeing this place for months after discovering it the first time I was assigned to Bettendorf. I was finally able to make it in one morning! My excitement was immediately killed by the barista behind the counter. I was the only customer in the shop and he had maybe two people max that he served through the drive-thru during the hour that I was there. It was my first time so I had a few general questions like "What's your top seller?" Or, "what's your go-to?" Questions that don't require very extensive answers. He huffed and puffed, tapped his foot impatiently, and just gave a very sarcastic "coffee." I get that there's opening duties (I worked in the service/hospitality industry for 14 years) but he was extremely impatient and acted like I was such a bother. I wonder how he would've reacted if there were more people he needed to help.

Anyway, I had read the reviews for months so I decided I would try an energy drink flight since they were one of very few in the area that offered those. I tried mine with the super creamer. If it's like the stuff I use at home then it's supposed to be sugar-free, have significant protein, and MCT oil. The flight was good! And, I would have liked to order a coffee and stay longer or to come back at another time but that encounter was just so hostile and unwelcoming that in the months that I've been posted in Bettendorf, I haven't been back. I prefer to give my money to people who appreciate my business. The shop is cute and I think their drinks are good quality and inventive. It's such a shame.

Definitely impressed by not only the quality of product produced, but the attention to detail and intentionality of every single part of this shop. Owner was very knowledgeable.

The drinks at Coffee Apothecary are wonderful-I always look forward to trying something new, and consider stopping by as a rare treat, as I don’t live near the shop.

However, the last couple of times I have been through the drive thru, the service has been unimpressive. The baristas are not helpful or welcoming in any way, and often I feel like I’m bothering them for simply ordering coffee.

This, along with the skyrocketing prices (over $7 for a 16oz specialty coffee) have made me reconsider spending money here in the future.

Wow the reviews below ??‍♂️
Common sense should tell you that ice comes in, or is PART OF iced coffee.
The other one like do you know how to read a menu or do math?

Edit:
We went in and got a couple of their energy drinks, both were great, decent price. I love the theme and atmosphere, can't wait to go back and try something new. Just wish it was open later so I could go during the week. Can confirm all our questions were answered (Noah is awesome).

There are more energy drinks than actual coffees or lattes and only 2 food options, but everything we had was delicious and the apothecary theme gave impeccable dark academia vibes.

Coffee is good and the aesthetic is really nice, but the menu prices don't reflect the actual cost. It says 5.75 for a 16oz but it was about two dollars more(not including tax). Isn't that illegal? False advertising?

Tried the premium flight. All four were delicious. My favorite isnthe halo effect. I love the Apothecary vibe. Feels like someone is studying plants.

Very nice atmosphere, service is excellent and my choice is hot chocolate and lemon blueberry pastry, both were excellent.
