The Coffee Revolution: Davenport’s Cozy Cafe for Bold Coffee & Friendly Vibes

Azul and I approve. I recommend death became her even tho it made me feel alive. And they offered a free pup cup

The staff here is great! My daughter and I make this one of our stops when she is in town. She follows them on Facebook and wanted Blueberry cold brew. They were out and said that they would have some next week. She explained that she was in town for the weekend. The staff told her that they would see what they could do. She got a call saying that they had some and was saving her a bottle. She was so happy and very appreciative of their time. She and I will boast about the staff.

This is a little off the beaten path and away from my normal hang outs. I'd mostly explored the cafes and coffee joints around Bettendorf over the last few weeks, however, so I decided to take my work laptop for some Sunday catch-up and head across Davenport for something new and different. The Coffee Revolution is definitely new to me in many ways, but there were plenty of the normal trappings and features present in an independent coffee house, as well. The space is very open and has ample seating between a few tables, a high top bar with accompanying stools, but also several very comfy couches and chairs. I'm always happy to find a cushy spot into which to sink and type away within, so this was a major plus. Many of the same accents and architectural features in the QC area adorn this space, as well. There's no drop ceiling here, leaving the true ceiling and wood supports, all painted white, visible to anyone glancing upward. The HVAC ductwork is similarly on display, with this particular setup consisting of cylindrical ducts and associated diffusers running from the back of the space towards runs diverging at a tee just before the windows of the storefront, gradually reducing in diameter along the way. Between the ductwork's plain grey metallic surface, the white plenum area, the blue/grey painted walls and the incandescent lighting fixtures dropping from the ceiling throughout the space, there's a certain softness to the whole aesthetic. As I was here through the early evening, this only continued as the sun continued lowering. The music playing also complimented the mood well. The baristas were playing soft indie pop the entire time I was visiting (a band called Peach Pit, I think?). It was at a volume well suited to quiet conversation and study/work - exactly what I needed during my visit. I dig it when places know their audience and nail this part of their ambiance. It really adds to the whole experience and ties everything together well. After some conversation with one of the baristas about the available selection of teas, I ended up going with a pink lemonade flavored herbal tea mixed with lemonade. Bit of a strange Arnold Palmer of sorts, no? Well it worked just fine - the drink was tart without being overly sweet. I also selected an iced sugar cookie, supplied by cookies by design. This didn't really pair well with the tea, but was a fine enough thing to snack on during my visit (that's more my fault anyway - sugar cookie with lemonade...). If I lived in the area, I'd probably stop back again. But I don't so I probably won't be back soon, unfortunately. If you're around this part of Davenport, I'd highly recommend stopping by this place. After they get their internet working, I'm sure it will be a great space to crank through some school or work work. Thanks Coffee Revolution!

Just found my favorite cup of coffee! The Comfort Cup is perfection; smooth, bold, flavored, light on the cream. Plus a pup cup for the fur friend! Classic neighborhood cafe; good prices, friendly staff, rotating seasonal drinks. Small drive thru in the back if you're wondering.

One of the BEST coffees in the QC. Definitely recommend trying at least once, little pricey but most coffee places are. I recommend salted caramel, coconut, and chocolate flavored latte with coconut cold foam!! (Please bring back the coco puff cold foam)

Without a doubt our favorite coffee spot in the QC. Their fall/winter seasonal drinks are unmatched and the baristas are always incredibly friendly. Best coffee shop in the QC!!
