5 Best Coffee Shops in Geneseo

“You ever leave a place and think... "man that was some awesome service and the coffee is fantastic. This place deserves a 5 star review" Well that's exactly how I felt after leaving the Local Motive.

I forgot the baristas name, but the gentleman who helped me out was so friendly and offered suggestions on what to order, held a quick conversation, and the basic cold brew concoction I ordered was delicious.

All aboard for an excellent coffee shop experience!“

“What a wonderful, long standing, fan favorite in Geneseo. They make coffees, smoothies, Italian sodas, chai, and a few other drinks. Their fudge is to die for especially their signature fudge! It's located downtown and is near other shops and cafes worth checking out. They also have weekly specials and daily treats. Along with their punch cards, it's worth stopping in. Highly recommend a strawberry, watermelon, passion fruit smoothie or root beer Italian soda.“

“Great atmosphere. Super nice staff. Helped me find my new favorite drink!!“

“I always liked getting the Energy Drinks but I recently went to a wedding and had some of the best cake Iv had in my life. I asked the bride where she got her cake and told me it was from Caffeine and Carbs. It was so good I order the exact same vanilla cake for Father’s Day and it was just as good. I’m not a big coffee drinker but my coworker loves the coffee and I trust her opinion. So if your looking for an energy drink, coffee, or something sweet( I recommend the cake). This is the place to go!“

“I live in Indiana and stop at this McDonald's every time I visit my girlfriend in Iowa. Let me start by saying that this is the best McDonald's I've ever been to. I honestly can't remember the last time I've had fast food this good, It reminds me of when I used to get it as a little kid. Over the past few years I feel like quality of McDonalds, in general, has gone down a bit, but apparently this isn't the case in Geneseo, Illinois. All of the employees and customers are so kind, I've never seen anything like it. I feel like I'm at a whole different restaurant compared to one's closer to home.

I will say, I was absolutely devested to learn that the lobby was closed for renovations last week, I'm hoping it's open this weekend.

Other than that, the location is convenient for people traveling on I-80, only being about 30 seconds down the road.“
