Coziest Quad Cities Coffee Shops

Coffee is always a good idea. Everything gets better with coffee. Conversation is the best ingredient of coffee. Coffee is a Hug in a Mug. There's always time for coffee. Great ideas start with great coffee. If my life had a flavor, it would be coffee.

When we asked Quad Citizens for their favorite cozy coffee shops, there were lots of answers from establishments that have been in the QC for decades to new shops we've just recently embraced. The ambiance and flavors available are diverse and welcoming. Many of our favorites can also be found on the Quad Cities Coffee Trail where you can enjoy coffee and get prizes!
