8. 392 Caffe
Reviewed By cothoms
From the moment you walk in the door at 392 Caffe, it's an awesome experience. The baristas couldn't be more friendly, the music is always great, the decor very "Instagram-worthy". But of course the best part is the coffee and home-baked goods. They make their own unique syrups; my two favorites are the salted caramel and the honey lavender (which I recommend iced). They also possibly THE BEST croissants, both plain and chocolate, that I've had outside of France. Their custom avocado toast is also great. If you're in the Quad Cities, it's worth going out of your way to stop here.
7. Java Java Cafe
Reviewed By steve375
In town on business I was taken here by a local for lunch. The place has character and excellent food. Run by a husband and wife, it's apparent that they know how to please their customers. From the high quality lunch and home made desserts to the relaxed interior. Sit on a leather sofa and relax... The owners are friendly and will keep you coming back. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Davenport and another visit to Java Java.

The donuts made at Tommy's Cafe are amazing pillows of glazed deliciousness. So glad we found this place. The staff is very friendly (Liz was our waitress). The breakfast items are very reasonable and well prepared. Great bang for your buck!! Our grand son broke a small bowl on the floor and one of the servers was over with a broom and dustpan right away and did not make a big deal out of it. She was terrific. Will definitely return.

Had dinner here with a buy one get one free. I had the southwest chicken salad...chicken was dry and tasteless and the dressing which I had one the side was also tasteless. The lettuce, beans, corn were the good part...not woth the 12.99 charged though. Husband had the buffalo chicken on a piece of toast...odd...he sid it was okay...came with fries. Service is good, but it takes quite some time to get your meal.

Stopped here for breakfast based on Tripadvisor reviews. This is a small place, not many tables at all but they do turn them over quickly. Biscuits and gravy was very good.My wife had an omelet and she said it was ok, nothing special..Bacon was burnt to a crisp, which some people like but I do not.Service was fast and friendly.We would probably eat here again as long as the wait was not very long, I would not wait 20 minutes to dine here, it just was not that great to warrant that long of a wait.

After my daughter and I did some shopping nearby, we stopped for lunch. We needed extra time before ordering because so many things sounded appealing. She opted for the Diablo Salad and I had the Fruity Chicken sandwich with a cup of the Roasted Red Pepper Gouda soup. The presentation of the food was as wonderful as the flavor. My daughter raved about her salad, and I enjoyed the textures in the chicken salad as well as the large chunks of moist chicken. But the soup.....oh, that was amazing. It was so good that we took two cups of it home to have for dinner that night. I am from Chicago and don't get out that way often, but I definitely want to return to try something else and to get more of that soup.

It is very tight seating and could be in better repair BUT the food was excellent and many very unique choices. Our water pitcher was kept full and they were very attentive. The building and dining area was fun and quaint! We all enjoyed what we ordered. I suppose they could work on presentation being better too but they didnât lack for customers and all of us said weâd definitely come back when in the area.

Reasonable prices, family friendly, best breakfast and burgers in town, homemade soup, daily specials - all prepared by Chef/Owner, Jose Zepeda.

The wait staff is fast and courteous. The entire facility is spotless. The menus weren't slimy. The seats and table weren't sticky. I'm amazed at the cleanliness for a diner style restaurant. All the condiments were full. The servings were huge and really good selection. The coffee was fresh and tasty. We had omelets and french toast. Both were made with fresh ingredients. I'd go back here every weekend if I lived in the same state.
