15 Best Coffee Shops in Rockford

“Great new sandwich menu and delicious drinks, but four out of the last five times I made the walk over to the ERC in the past month for refreshments, they’ve been closed. I’ve come at 9:30, 12:25, 1:30, and 1:55 all on different days they were supposed to be open at those times. The lack of schedule consistency is frustrating, especially when I’m craving something I know will be delicious. Highly recommend if you can catch them when they are open. Maybe just really bad timing on my part.“

“If you’re looking to order your coffee without any interaction of people this is your place! At first I was a little put off by it but then you get to see what all the options are and decide at your own pace at the kiosk, vs the quick split second decisions.

But, I will say, that the coffee we had was absolutely delicious, and I had the Better than anything as a shake and ooof is it amazing!!!
Also I just love how they package them, you can grab coffee or drinks to go and not have to worry about it spilling, what a concept!“

“Would highly recommend!!!! Please try for yourself! Mrs. Buckbees is top notch!“

“A really good morning stop! Food is actually on par with the coffee for once! 5 stars for sure!“

“I visited Wired this morning, it was a great way to begin my day. The staff is warm and welcoming. They helped me select a drink, that is delicious. I can’t wait for my next visit!“

“Not a big flavored coffee drinker but Meg's is changing my views. Wonderful coffee and the staff couldn't be friendler or more informative, especially Mia.“

“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!“

“Thanks for the fantastic smoothie and for preparing my son's sandwich to go.“

“Great independant coffee place in Rockford, skip the big chain places. Great asctetic, food and drinks.“

“One of our favorite spots in town. Our toddler loves to come every week for a butter croissant. Pizza night is our favorite night of the month and we’re always sad if our schedule conflicts with being able to get it. We would also eat the breakfast biscuit sandwich with bacon everyday if we could. The absolute best biscuit. Corned beef hash also very good.“

“I love coming to Starbucks! It’s the little things that brighten your day the most 🥰😁“

“Our first time there! The chicken masala was the best masala I've ever had the pleasure to eat. The honey cinnamon coffee was also delicious! We will be back to enjoy breakfast in the future :)“

“It was right across the street from our hotel. Saw the sign for the Oleato. The barista introduced us to the concept of infused olive oil into the sacred elixir of espresso and, in this instance, oat milk. I ordered the latte with oat milk and my spouse ordered the iced espresso version. This was a game changer!! I am having to routinely add 1-2 sugar packets to my Starbucks lattes and here I didn’t have to add any sweetener at all! What a lovely drink. We’d intended to hit the road immediately yet I was so stopped in my tracks, I consumed nearly all of it within minutes! If you love extra virgin olive oil, this will likely be a delight! It was for us! \n\nVery courteous service and so close to interstate for fairly easy on/off driving.“

“I love the customer service.“

“this is the best starbucks i have ever been to. you will not get a better experience at any other Starbucks anywhere.ever. i’m not sure if the employees will be able to get something for this, but if they do or will, they deserve SOMETHING for their amazing-ness. david, katie, jodi, bella, asher, percy, maria, adrianna, abbey, I LOVE Y’ALL!!!! they make my day every time i come through. best people ever!!:)“
