Review Visit: October 1st, 2018 Leaves 'n Beans will leaf you wanting more. I previously visited the Leaves 'n Beans Coffee in Peoria that was located near Bradley University. That location has since closed. My thought process at the time was that if a small business has multiple locations, I will try just one and that will be good enough. With time, I've realized that each location can offer a different experience and unique memories. So, if a small business has multiple uniquely-styled locations, I will try them out. That leads us to the Leaves 'n Beans in Peoria Heights. This is the one that everyone told me to try when I first started traveling. Well, six years later, here we are. This location is housed in a house. Really. It is a unique coffeehouse that operates out of an old house. I've been to a coffeehouses that are in converted houses and they are some of my favorite. They have that charm of a well-worn house and have a charm that a new building just doesn't have. This one is no exception. You can flip through the few photos I posted to get that feeling. The house has a porch and some outdoor seating available. So, if you come on a gorgeous day, you can soak up some sun and caffeine at the same time. It was decently packed outside, so I didn't want to take any photos out of respect for the people relaxing. Some of the walls are painted from top to bottom, which I assume is done by local artists, which is always cool. There is a downstairs that is equally cozy, if not more than the upstairs. There are tons of couches to sit on. There is a shelf full of books. I'm not sure if you can read those, but I did not see any signs saying otherwise. But how was the coffee? Pretty great. I got an iced White Knight (white chocolate mocha). While I regret getting it iced since I think the flavor would've been even better warmed, it still hit the spot. There is a Mayan Mocha that is made with Ghost Pepper that I am going to come back and try some day. I love spicy stuff and that seems like a decent challenge. They offer baked goods and an impressively large menu. While the baked goods behind the glass looked tantalizing, as did the menu items, I had just come from a work meeting where we had food served, so my belly only had room for coffee. Customer Service was top notch. The two baristas working were very friendly and they struck up a conversation with my friend and I while our drinks were being prepared. If Peoria Heights is a bit out of your range, you'll be happy to know that there is a Leaves 'n Beans Coffee in Morton, IL as well. I definitely think they are worth checking out if you like great coffee. Maybe next time I will go with an empty belly and get some food to cool my mouth after a Mayan Mocha.

What a fantastic find in Peoria Heights! It was just a few blocks from our Airbnb, so we went every day to check out what their specialty muffins were. All cookies and muffins are made from scratch and are the best muffins we have ever tasted! Two days ago it was a cherry chocolate, yesterday was lemon raspberry, and today was truffle (white chocolate, dark chocolate, and caramel). Okay, I admit, I can't do this every day, so brought the truffle one home for the freezer, but the other two were out of this world. Their international coffees are fantastic, too. The place has outdoor seating in the shade, with room for dogs. We met other dog owners while there, making it so much fun. And they are a welcoming business, so LBGTQ are as welcome as CIS folks.

Although I saw a couple negative reviews regarding customer service, every time I've come here the customer service has been good. I walk up to the counter, order my coffee, get my drink, and leave. I don't expect the staff to act like disneyland greeters lol. I'm just in town visiting, but out of all the coffee shops in peoria... Leaves n Beans is the place I find myself going to every morning. For one, I think their coffee is fantastic. Their menu of drinks is so vast and fun---blended drinks, matcha, chai, cold brew, lattes, energy drinks etc. I personally get the oatchata with a shot of espresso and it's delicious. My friend got the raspberry chai and it was also extremely good. Another thing I like about this place is the prices. A large cold brew is $5 and it's not like starbucks where 3/4 of it is ice for $7. Best deal for coffee that i've found in peoria. Lastly, this shop has a lot of seating, outdoor, upstairs, and downstairs available.

Been a few years since I first discovered this jewel visiting family. Had a long weekend here and had to stop back by. Read some of the older reviews and it seems they went thru a rough patch with employees who weren't too friendly. I can firmly state that the staff now is super-customer-focused and make eye contact and share smiles. We enjoyed a caramel royale hot and a bottomless cup of joe. And then we split a Denver omelet. Delicious and HOT off the griddle. Could not recommend more, and wanted to write a review to bolster the positive vibes this shoppe is giving off this holiday weekend!

This is a darling cafe that I discovered when visiting Peoria! My breakfast sandwich and iced tea were delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Peoria!

You may have realized by now... I kind of love coffee! Similar to how bees love flowers. I sorta need it to survive! When I go on trips I like to find local coffee places and support small businesses. I did a search for local coffee places and discovered this adorable spot! It's set in Peoria Heights which would remind any Gilmore Girls fan of Stars Hollow. You can either go in through a side lower level entrance or through the front porch entrance, which is super cute! I immediately knew I'd like it because of the adorable signs everywhere. It smells wonderful and their staff is super friendly! They offer a lot of options for food and coffee. Both my boyfriend and I really enjoyed our drinks. He got regular iced coffee and I got the "Sugar Daddy" which is caramel and hazelnut flavored. The only the thing I'd want is for the flavors (including the coffee itself) to be a bit stronger, but that's really my only issue! If you're ever in the area, make sure to stop in here!

Cool small place for coffee and breakfast. It's one of the hidden places in Peoria Heights. Leaves N Beans is a little place to hang out and do work. Kind of small, meaning not much room for groups. They have a pretty limited menu of coffee and food items. A pretty good place if looking for a quiet breakfast. It has a rather limited menu. There's only a few coffees that you get out of the pots in front of you. It's $2.75 for a drip coffee. They had one that was blueberry flavor. As for the food, there's also limited choices. Few vegan friendly items. At least it helped us choose. We got the Avocado Toast. It's about $3 for something fast and basic. This is pretty much just some bread with avocado and seasoning. Good but it only has a few coffees. It's a good place for doing work because usually it's quiet. The only vegan food is the Avocado Toast and there's not a whole lot else that's cheap though.
