“When I'm in the Quad Cities visiting family, I always try to stop at Lavender Crest for Lunch and of course wine. . My most recent visit was on a beautiful sunny Friday afternoon. We dined on their outdoor patio. I love eating outside when I can and the patio offers a nice view of part of their Vineyard. I sampled 1 of the newest wines, Stone Grown. It's a white sweet wine of Apple and Cinnamon. We loved it so much we had a bottle with our lunch. A nice bonus if you buy 6 bottles you receive 10% off. For lunch I had a cup of the Tomato Bisque Soup and Ron's Roast Beef. The soup was nice and hot and very flavorful. I also enjoyed the sandwich, but next time I'd ask them to toast or grill the bread. It is a very hearty appetizing sandwich. Our server was excellent and very attentive. She easily handled a number of tables during a busy lunch time. I've been here several times throughout the years and have never been disappointed.“
“Had a couple hours to kill during a business trip to Moline. Checked out Dead Poets for breakfast and coffee. Service and food were awesome. Good gluten free options. I'm normally a basic coffee guy but ordered "the poe" and it was excellent. Will def check out next time I'm in the Quad Cities.“
“Giving 4 stars because I am espresso snob and I felt the espresso could have been stronger. My americano was very weak tasting and watery. Food, staff, and other items are great. I had an energy drink most recently, and it wasn't too sweet like other places in the area. I enjoyed it!“
“Absolutely love this place,none of that diet ice cream like DQ. And their water down soft serve . Their vanilla & chocolate ice cream is fabulous ? the Lg hot fudge sundae could be a little bigger it is like the medium & LG are the same size, I visit both east moline & coalvalley they both do a great job, kudos to the owner.“
“ordered from Grubhub and I had to come over here to write a review on the food. The food was so good, I wasn't even that hungry and I smashed it all LOL The grilled chicken panini with added bacon and spinach was great, the side of potato salad was good but small but that's okay because they only charged $2 for it, but the tomato bisque soup was what was amazing. Everybody kept telling me it smelled so good and it did and it tasted even better. Would definitely recommend and order from here again. Thank you!“
“Creative menu items, tasty food, and comfortable environment. They will surely outgrow this space when word gets out. They earned every bit of this 5-star rating! (Just grab the menu at counter, chalkboard is cute but hard to make a decision from).“
“Very cute coffee show about 8 minutes from Rock Island, IL. Here for work and Starbucks or hotel coffee isn't my thing. Really liked the vibe of this place, coffee was good, chicken wrap was good and view was great. Seattle vibes in Moline.“
“We flew 4 families from around the country to crash at a local Airbnb for a family reunion. We decided to take a stroll to the Valley Country Cafe, at the recommendation of my mom (who had eaten there the day before), with 10 people on a Friday morning. Immediately impressed, they had a table ready for us (my mom had warned them we were coming) and were on top of drinks within moments of us arriving. I'm always pleased with a carafe of coffee at the table, so we didn't have to ask for refills. This was a nice touch! The menu has just about anything you could ask for, from pancakes & crepes, to omelets and a variety of biscuit & gravy options... The kids & grownups alike were beyond excited by the sprinkles and chocolate chip options for the pancakes. They kept on top of our drink refills, our food arrived promptly & was hot and delicious, and service was amazing. The entire staff was friendly and easy to talk to. They didn't hesitate to bring hot sauces or refills whenever we'd asked. The food was delicious! Hot, fresh, well seasoned! I usually cringe at the idea of taking a large party out to eat, because inevitably - something goes wrong... but not this time. It was an amazing experience, from service to food, all the way around. We will definitely be back when we're in town again!“
“It's a small building that I'm pretty sure a car ran into, few tables and hard metal chairs... with some of the best food I've had reminds me of my Hispanic step moms cooking, the elote was superb and the El pastor tacos were devoured with gusto. Great bunch of ladies working there definitely will be back for the “
“Always delicious!It's not the fastest service or food turnaround, but it's also not a traditional bar with deep fryers. I do think you get what you pay for here - the ingredients are high quality and fresh. I didn't like the brew-schetta as it had an aioli that made the bites too sweet and creamy. But I've had 3 different flatbreads and loved them! They're all very tasty with well paired ingredients.Definitely recommend! Girls night, date night, weekend lunches, or dinner, it's very versatile.“
“We went for an early Saturday lunch and chose from the Pick Two lunch menu. The Gouda Red Pepper soup was rich, creamy, and perfect for those of us who like spicy but not hot. Their signature Chicken Enchilada Soup is well seasoned with a touch of heat and so loaded with goodies that eating it with a fork wouldn't look odd. The wrap with bacon BLTG and Fruity Chicken Salad were both delicious, too. Service was fast and pleasant.Please give them a try!“

“Great place for appetizers. Started spring break here with some peers. Pretzel bites delicious. Ribeye quesadillo wad amazing. Mushrooms and cheese balls were good. The best was the crab Rangoon egg rolls. First time here but won't be last.“
“I was just at Panera on Elmore and the staff was super! So friendly and kind. I could tell they were spending extra time helping an older woman and then even walked her out to her car. They carried her bag and linked arms with her and made sure she got in safe. You won my heart today!“
“My husband and I finally got to check out this coffee shop! It was absolutely amazing. I had an amazing service experience. I wish I could remember the individual who helped me, but I have forgotten their name. I ordered the Iced Leroy and my husband ordered the mailman frappe. Both were fantastic. Mine had peanut butter mocha and banana. The banana flavor was not overwhelming which I figured it would be. It was the perfect mix! We also got a cinnamon roll. It was so good and served just slightly warm. The only downside is I wish it were just a bit warmer and it would be absolutely fantastic! Don’t miss out on this coffee shop. Shop small and local!! 10/10 recommend!!“
