10 Best Cafes in Peoria

“just two gals from Texas wanting to support a local business. We got the caramel macchiato, tropical refresher and a protein donut! everything was hit, highly recommend :)“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at Cyd's in the PARK! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy yet stylish, perfect for both a casual dinner and a special night out. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I especially loved the scallops, which was cooked to perfection. Service was prompt and friendly without being intrusive, and the staff really went the extra mile to make sure everything was just right.“

“This cafe is in the middle a thrift store which was not only convenient since we were already shopping it has a neat atmospere. I had the ham and three cheese panini with fritters on the side and my aunt had the cranberry salad. The sandwich could only be better if the cheese was melted more.“
