Dead Poet's Espresso

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.

Hip coffee house located in downtown Moline. It feels like it doesn't belong here because it's too cool, for real. Dead Poet's Espresso has a literature theme going on with Shakespeare and other famous figures. For sure it's good for book nerds. There's also food like bagels and pastries.

Came in the morning to get a buzz. It has a list of specialty coffees. These are all made with milk powder so I skipped these. Instead got a latte. It's about $5 for a medium. Then add a bit more for non dairy milk and syrup. Also got a bagel. It's about $3 with a spread. Has cream cheese of course. There's also peanut butter and jelly.

Good stop in at breakfast. It's one of the hipper places in town to be honest. This is only open in the morning and afternoons, and it's closed on Sundays.

So..today up early and felt that a good cup of Joe was needed. So I stumbled upon this little store tucked into the nooks of the building . I walked in, and the aroma was swirling in the air, and I knew it was the right place. Walked to the counter, which is in the back corner and greated promptly. Took my order as a "redeye" 6 shots of espresso and filled the rest with amazingly good coffee.
The place seems like it does make our lives extraordinary with their cup of joe.

As I've walked around Moline, it's a weird feeling that I was the only person on the streets. It seems deserted and so a visit to Dead Poet's Espresso seemed appropriate.

While waiting for my espresso and Sweet Southwest Breakfast Wrap (eggs, corn mix, pepperoncini, chipotle cheese curds wrapped in a tomato basil tortilla), I enjoyed the images of dead poets like William Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe drinking coffee.

The latte was well made. The wrap was creative and filling but it needs some fine tuning on the sauce.

Although I was the only patron, I took a look at the piano in the corner and imagined that, at least sometimes, this cafe must fill up with music and people.

Breakfast sandwich was great. Coffee was good. Even better iced coffee with ice cubes that are frozen coffee.
Would definitely return next time I'm in town. Nice little spot to sit inside or out.
Parking seemed easily accessible although I walked from a nearby hotel.
The patio is convenient and a great place to enjoy your drink/meal.

WOW!! What an amazing place~ great food, great coffee, awesome vibe and atmosphere, & treated to live music on a Sat am was just what the doctor ordered after a busy week. Can't wait to return!

I had a trail mix iced latte, I'm pretty sure it was the best iced latte I have ever had. It's beautiful and cozy inside. Service was polite and quick. 10/10 would recommend

We were passing through and I needed a latte. Dead Poet's Espresso caught my eye, mostly because I loved the name. It was a cute little place along the river. There were a few couples enjoying coffee and conversation. The piano caught my eye when I walked in and expect they host live music at times.

The latte was good and service efficient. I also got a scone (warmed) and that was just ok. Atmosphere was awesome. Fun stop.

Such good espresso drinks. We were traveling for work and stayed here a week so I tried a few of their specialty hot drinks.

Service and atmosphere are top rate. Very comfortable. Coffee and drink selections too. Blended chai latte and strawberry smoothie excellent.
