East Moline Coffee Company - Coffee shop in East Moline - 3537 Archer Dr, USA

After a visit for lunch elsewhere in East Moline, I desired a place to grab a tea and relax for a bit. A quick Google search revealed East Moline Coffee Company was not far from my current location, so I decided to head there. Not gonna lie, I definitely missed the place going south on Archer Drive and had to double back. That's probably a little me not paying attention and partly the small profile of the building in which EMC resides. There's a big yellow sign out front too, so again, partly issues with me. The outside of the building is almost all new red brick. Up close, it looks really solid. The patio space on both the ground level and roof of the building also come into view too, however. I could definitely see returning here in warmer weather on the weekend to hang out for a bit to sip a beverage and relax. The interior is, honestly, right out of what I'd dream of for a local coffee shop. There's a variety of seating, but while there are some small tables and some high top seating, many of the available chairs are comfy looking. I expect one or two chairs in most places like this, maybe a sofa, but there are probably at least a dozen places that have more than your average plushiness. So great! The overall aesthetic beyond this is pretty clean and nice, too. Newer hardwood laminate runs the floor throughout the space, with painted dark blue and white walls throughout. The solid ceiling provides a variety of lighting, including accent strips, florescent fixtures, and suspended lights in what appear to be mason jars. Below a large flat screen television close to the counter sits an electric fireplace - hopefully functional in the colder months. The whole of the interior is soft and warm and was quiet throughout my visit. I chose a peach flavored black tea for my beverage, which was soon provided to me after ordering. I inquired with the baristas as to what company they get their loose leaf from - turns out the company is Divinitea, which I was not previously familiar with. I enjoyed this tea - it had the expected peach and citrus flavor and was otherwise mild and easy to consume. Definitely something I return for again. The one thing I really want to come back for at some point are the available pastry and baked goods (I just wasn't hungry during this visit). They have some pretty big cinnamon rolls and brownies available at the counter that look really yummy. Maybe on a return trip I'll try one of them. I really like this place - I'm sad that it's all the way over in East Moline, far from my home in Bettendorf. Thanks, EMC!

Great cozy atmosphere. Welcoming and friendly staff. Creative drink choices. Pop culture references. Let the baristas help you decide. Lots of options. Coffee is very smooth. Plenty of non coffee drinks and treats. My favorite new to me place. I love Lover or Jacob Black for flavors.

Very nice little coffee place. I usually like plain coffee, but their frappes and specialty drinks are really good.

Such a cute unique coffee spot! I'm a big fan of mochas so I loved the flavor board. They have a bulletin board with batista recommended flavor combinations. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere is the perfect little coffee shop.

Came in and tried the the Old Man Winter, very good! Elaina was the barista she was friendly and quick! definitely recommend

coffee is good, service not so much because i waited 15 minutes(actually 15 minutes) for a single coffee while all the workers(3 girls) stood around and just talked. the store wasn’t even busy. kind of ridiculous for an $8 coffee.

Great coffee! Surprise that it tasted like Starbucks (our preferred coffee) and seemed to be better than Pike. I just wish that they had quality food (pastry) without preservatives, which I would have purchased also. Highly recommend!

Found myself in East Moline on a Sunday morning in need of a pick-me-up and strolled into EMC2 for some coffee. I could immediately feel the sense of community and how much the patrons love this place, so I got a cup of the daily dark roast. In the end, the prices were rights, the atmosphere was electric, soundtrack was fabulous, and the staff were exceptional!! I will be back on my next trip!! Well done ladies!
