Coffee Hound

Quick Take - Clean, friendly, great price, great environment, good for working for a short stint, and near endless combinations of flavors give personality to the baristas. TL:DR - You go the chains because of what you expect, you come here to get something new and unexpected. The "Barista Recommends" sign has over 30 different custom drinks from the baristas that have names derived from pop culture or deep cuts from literature and the like.The normal staples are here and they have almond and oat milk if you don't do diary. The store is small but not cramped, standard table seating, couches, small window bar, clean restrooms, and good WiFi. But above all, the baristas I had on the day of my visit were amazingly polite, professional, and great at their job!

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!

This is usually my go-to coffee shop when in the area because of the amazing selection, service, and personnel.... but I visited today at 1 and the girls working made the WORST coffee (frappes) I have ever experienced. They didn't add any of the flavors or peanut butter we asked for and the drinks tasted like really old, burnt black coffee with ice. Very disappointed in the new standard of service.
