7 Best Coffee Shops near Poplar Grove

“When you get to downtown Alan Rose and you see a green elevator make sure to look just to the right of it and you’ll find a cute little coffee shop. It looks like a former post office or something. Wood floors, old fashion heater, friendly barista (Kim). I had a great cup of coffee and amazing chocolate chip cookie that she made herself. While I was in there are some bikers came off the trail and stopped in for some liquid refreshment and seemed to be loving their pastries. If you’re in the town check it out. Great stop 😊👍“

“Best dole whip ever! we also had a chocolate double Expresso malt that was amazing 🤩“

“Went here for breakfast for the first time and honestly really loved it. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly right from the start. The food came out fresh and hot, and everything tasted homemade and well done — exactly what you want from a good breakfast spot. Portions were satisfying without being overwhelming, and the prices felt fair for the quality. Overall, it was a great first experience and I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“This is my absolute “go to” every Saturday morning before the gym. The opening staff is extremely friendly, fun, and professional. They know me by name, remember my order and are the perfect crew to interact with as I start my day. The vibes are awesome and the customer service is top notch. This place has been great for years, I appreciate their service to the customers and community. Highly recommend!“

“Today was my birthday and I didn't have the date set in my app to get any birthday rewards. I mentioned that to the team working and even though they didn't have to, they went above and beyond to make me feel special. Thankyou to the staff for being so kind and making my day!“

“Anyone can sell you coffee and pastries. There are over 68 coffee and tea establishments in the Rockford area alone. There are 11 coffee shops from one national brand and another 5 from a national chain that specialize in donuts. So why do I go to Meg’s? The people that sell me my coffee are the reason. I’m not alone in this thought. It’s like going to the fictitious local bar “Cheers” in the 80’s. Everyone is treated the same. Welcomed, greeted cheerfully, and asked if they are having their usual. How do they remember everyone’s “regular”? I think it’s because they care. One other thing brings me in…the coffee and menu items are incredible!“

“Amazing staff who care about children and pay attention ensuring their safety going above and beyond job requirements And duties out of the genuine goodness of their hearts. Every employee at this location supports and demonstrates genuine hard work dedication and love for serving the community in both professional And personable mannerisms. Friendly outgoing and abiding by the guidelines in every way. By far the best and my favorite location in the entire 815 And surrounding areas. This is the only location other than the one inside Walmart in Belvidere that will make me skip a trip to starbucks .“
