First time I have been to this coffee shop. The service was excellent and the choices were unique. I especially like the connection made to other local businesses as they use products from them as well. The atmosphere of the coffee shop was warm and welcoming including pet friendly. The food options included breakfast and lunch options. I will be returning.

Everything Kidd dreams up at Local Motive is straight-up magic. The sandwiches? Unreal. The breakfast? Next-level. The coffee? đ€. Whether you're stopping in for a sandwich or latte, Local Motive never misses. Kiddâs got the flavor game on lock! This place is a must-stop, every time. Donât sleep on it!

Was visiting from out of town and stopped in. Great service, awesome food (with gluten-free options!) and great coffee.
Best little coffee shop around! They have expanded their food options and have always had wonderful coffee selections as well!

Top 25 burgers. Worth a detour. Bun was fresh & soft meat was near perfect juicy, jalapeños green fresh flavorful(could be spicier) sauce was great (though a bit less would have suited me). Vanilla Chi Latte was on point too... Walked into this place at 7:30 this a.m. to grab a Chi and a breakfast sandwich lo and behold this is a low-key burger joint, and a fantastic one at that. Switch my order to the burger and at 7:41 Iâm biting into one of the best burgers Iâve ever had. And to qualify myself Iâve been traveling the country for over a decade, eating burgers of every making and model.

The Honest Bite
I would sell my soul and my dog to eat here every day.
Let me just start by sayingâif you live in the Quad Cities and havenât been to Local Motive yet, Iâm both concerned for you and slightly judging your life choices.
Letâs start with the coffeeâbest in the Quad Cities, no question. Itâs freshly roasted and beautifully bold. I highly recommend the salted caramel flavorâitâs sweet, salty, and just the right amount of âI deserve this.â But really, you could choose any of their options and still win.
Now for the main event: the breakfast sandwiches. These are not grab-and-go-and-forget-about-it kind of breakfasts. These are âsit down and take a moment to emotionally process whatâs happening in your mouthâ kind of sandwiches. The Tiger Belly is the fan-favorite for a reasonâspicy, bold, and packed with flavor. But donât sleep on the Dani LaRusso. I genuinely think it should be illegal to serve something that seductive before noon. Itâs massive, absolutely stacked with eggs, bacon, cheese, cream cheese (yeah, you heard me), and then drowned in hot honey. Itâs messy. Itâs glorious. Itâs so damn good I felt like I needed a cigarette and a nap afterward.
Their burritos are killer tooâbig, filling, and full of personality. You will make noises. Itâs fine. We all do.
But waitâthereâs more. The smash burgers? Actual perfection. These are the best smash burgers you will ever consume in this lifetime. Homemade buns. Freshly grilled patties. Sauces that deserve their own fan club. Itâs not a mealâitâs an experience.
And donât even get me started on their daily specials. Just when you think youâve tried it all, they throw something new at you and blow your mind again.
In conclusion: if youâre not eating Local Motive, youâre simply doing life wrong.

If you haven't been to The Local Motive yet, you're missing out. Prior to their smash burger release, they already had amazing breakfast sandwiches. It was no surprise that when they started making smash burgers they too were amazing. They've recently added more to their breakfast menu and it still doesn't disappoint. I had the Tiger Belly Burrito, and it's everything I've ever wanted out of life.
