“Yummy sugary cookie ! Not sure it’s worth $5 though! Ordering took some time as one of their order placement machine is broken and no one was at the counter. Well maintained interior and staff seemed professional with the way they handle orders.“

“I had a great experience at Crumbl Cookies in Peoria! The staff was friendly, the store was clean, and my order was ready quickly. Most importantly, all of the cookies were fresh, soft, and delicious. You could tell they had just been made.

The rotating flavors give you something new to try each week, and every cookie in my box tasted amazing. If you’re looking for a sweet treat, I highly recommend stopping by. I’ll definitely be back for more! 🍪😊“

“Ardor is one of those places you can count on, whether you’re grabbing a casual meal, meeting up for a happy hour or hosting something a little more special. We’ve had great experiences both dining 1:1 and recently hosting a small event there. The staff is consistently warm, attentive and makes everything feel warm. Yes, it’s a bit on the higher side, but the food is fantastic and absolutely worth it for the overall experience. It’s definitely a goto “treat” spot for us!“

“Last week I was the recipient of a German Chocolate cake. Sadly for $60.00 it was dry and inedible. I called to express our disappointment and the person who came to the phone after I asked for the manager said we didn't allow the cake to thaw long enough. I know the difference between frozen and dry. The cake had several hours to thaw before the time it was cut and presented after dinner. We were finally offered a gift certificate upon returning the remaining cake, but the person who bought it wasn't thrilled with the idea of getting more disappointing items, so it was discarded and we will never patronize them again. They have definitely gone downhill and it doesn't take long to see there are several complaints similar to mine. You're better off going to Costco or Sam's Club for a decent cake and it would be cheaper too!“

“My favorite coffee shop! I love the London fog or Latte...and the fresh bakery items! I highly recommend Bake & Brew Panaderia! ☕🌞 🧁“

“I walked in this moving having just moved to Peoria with a recommendation for donuts from my dad. The service was amazing. After I explained it was my first time, I got recommendations galore. I did not expect these donuts to be MASSIVE (my very large hands for reference lmao), but they are fresh and absolutely amazing. Will be back!!“

“Absolutely the best coffee shop around. Don't waste your time trying the competition, they don't even come close! We live in Germantown Hills, worth the trip to Metamora. Great job! Nice to have friendly people with smiling faces, thank you for your great customer service.“

“This was a good place to stop in. I would recommend the sandwiches if you come here and also the açaí bowl was pretty good. They have a large space and many tables to enjoy your food. The bread they use is very tasty. The salad I will say though the salads has very mysterious like chicken in it.“

“I work downtown and go here at least once a week. I order the same thing when I go, 16oz Fr Vanilla Latte with half and half. Depending who was working the counter I would get charged differently each time. $5.66 one day or $6.77 the next. I asked one day and was told I was being charged for the half and half. Ok fine, BUT today I go there and order the same drink and they wanted to charge me $7.00 for a 16oz??? Starbucks and Dunkin charge $4.49 for the same drink and size. I go to CXT to support local. But today was probably my last day. The gentleman today fixed me up and I was charged $5.00. I think you Managers better circle back because no one will pay $7.00 for a 16oz iced latte.“

“Great Harvest has yummy baked goods and delicious sandwiches for lunch! I highly recommend all of their locations! Excellent small business which has been around for many years!“

“We celebrate as often about the big and little things, just so we have a reason to go in and eat our favorite goodies! As well as sweets, they have a lovely menu for a quick and healthy lunch while on the go or for a quaint sit and bite. Our family loves going here and is always welcomed by the great staff and wonderful owners. They did our wedding cake (the tiramisu) and several birthdays over the years!“

“Great little place to grab frozen yogurt. Very friendly staff as well!“

“Delicious scones and looove their basil berry tea!“

“Cracked Pepper made our catering event so easy. Marla and Kate were great to get along and the food was simply outstanding. We ordered from their Bistro Boxed Lunch Menu and were more than satisfied. Thanks Cracked Pepper! We will be using you again when the need comes again.“

“This was our first time and we enjoyed it immensely. We had the chicken salad sandwich, a three cheese grilled cheese, and corn fritters. The corn fritters were great and we had never tried them with powdered sugar - so good. If they have it, I also highly recommend the fresh lemonade... YUM! Love the quaint atmosphere. 🩷“

“went to Kroger the other day and Parris helped me she was so nice and her smile was great ... love this store“

“You definitely had the ‘A’ team working this morning! Great drink! The drawing card for me is the staff. Incredible! Knows you by name and so friendly! I’d always been a Starbucks girl but I’m now an Eli’s convert!! Thanks for such a warm, inviting atmosphere.“
