392 Caffe has opened up its second brick and mortar location in downtown Davenport at 502 W. 3rd Street. The original coffee shop is in Clinton, Iowa, and currently they also have a “pop-up location” inside of Baked Beer & Bread Co. in the Village of East Davenport. Though the Davenport location is new, the coffee shop already has a cult-like following.

As a Quad Cities transplant I didn’t grow up on Quad Cities-style pizza, but over the past 20 years I’ve become a big fan. As much as I love a good Chicago deep dish or a Brooklyn/New York wood-fired thin crust, there is nothing like a taco pizza from Harris Pizza when you’re craving the best!

Cool Beanz Coffeehouse is located in the College Hill District in Rock Island, Illinois, at 1325 30th Street. It is a locally-owned, independently-run coffee shop but has so much more to offer. The shop serves fresh-brewed coffee, made-to-order espresso drinks, and a nice selection of teas and smoothies, with seasonal items available. You can also purchase coffee and tea by the bag for at-home consumption, as well as a few offered items to help you brew what you buy.
The Key at Union Arcade is a new cafe and bar that recently opened up at 229 Brady Street in downtown Davenport, Iowa. I recently had the pleasure of having lunch at the new business and learning all about the happenings there.
Looking for a fine place to dine and drink? I suggest Fresh Eatery & Wine Bar in Downtown Moline. Moline is becoming the place to go for locally innovative restaurants and drink establishments. Recently my friends and I attended a production at The Black Box Theatre. Since Fresh is only a few block from the theatre we decided to try dinner there before the show.

Meatheads Meat Market, located at 520 10th Ave. W. in Milan, Illinois, is one of the best butcher shops in the Quad Cities Area. Opened up in 2004, Meatheads offers fresh, store-made offerings from burgers, to tenderloins to smoked salmon, but their brats are what initially caught my eye.
