Down by the John Deere Pavilion, there's a number of cafes, bars, and eateries of sorts along River Drive and 4th/5th Avenues. I've visited this part of Moline soooo many times for Bierstube, Bent River, Rebellion, or Bad Boyz Pizza, but never visited early enough to try Dead Poet's Espresso. Well, after a hearty breakfast this morning and a newfound and robust desire to get out and try new cafes, I resolved that today was the day to get over there and get a hot beverage.  The space clearly has a carefully cultivated appearance. The dead poets theming is obvious on the surface - portraits of various long deceased authors of verse line the walls and the menu of specialty drinks bear many of their names. Beyond this, however, the furnishings and other architectural features provide additional depth to the experience. All of the walls in the space are simple brick and mortar which appear to be original to the space prior to it being a coffee house. The ceiling area has other distinct aesthetics, including stained and finished 2x4s throughout, HVAC ductwork painted a muted green color, and a mix of accent lighting from drop fixtures and somewhat ornate ceiling fans. The whole of it comes together to give the feeling that the coffee house might actually come out of mid-19th century Moline. It's a neat feeling - everything looks old, but clearly isn't and is, in fact, well kept up and clean.  I opted for a green tea a Lavender Jasmine this time and a brown sugar cinnamon scone. Both were quite tasty - in fact, the Jasmine Green Tea was the best I've had anywhere in a while. No joke, I would come back here just for this over and over again. I talked to one of the baristas and was informed the tea is from Tea Source, which, from a cursory internet search, is fairly modestly priced. I'm eager to look a little more.  This visit was made further unique by a gentleman playing a grand piano in the corner. All simple arrangements and light singing to songs like "What a Wonderful World", "Autumn Leaves", and " Stand by Me". It was a great accompaniment to the vibe of the place - not too loud, just slightly covered the conversation at the other tables, and it wasn't pop or country. I'd only hope other places get the memo - light live music is always going to be a great addition to your space.  Bottom line - I wish I lived closer to here because I'd be here all the time. You should definitely check this place out if you haven't yet, it's a great place to stop in, relax, have some good conversation, etc.  Thanks Dead Poet's!  Kid-friendliness: There were no children in the space when I was there. They certainly didn&#39;t seem anti-child. The space doesn&#39;t have high chairs though. I&#39;m sure if your kid is quiet and well behaved they&#39;d fit in.  Parking: There is ample parking in a free lot shared with the other nearby spaces immediately south of the cafe.  Wheelchair accessibility: The cafe is wheelchair accessible. There are tables that appear to be able to accommodate a wheelchair.

Fast, friendly service. The iced coffee and blended coffee were great. Lots of coffee flavor, and not too sweet. The blended Java Chip was less sweet than the iced Shakespeare turtle coffee

The shop was very clean and inviting, the staff very friendly. I got a large iced "Poe" as Edgar Allen Poe is one of my favorite poets and it was very good! I hope I get the chance to come back and try something new next time!Food: 5/5

Love this place! Just tried it for the first time on a coffee date with my husband. We wanted some good coffee with a cozy and interesting atmosphere and this did not disappoint! You can tell the owner and employees take pride in this business through conversation, the beautiful appeal of the place, and quality of food/coffee served. I most appreciated the staff and what I think may have been the owner or manager. Will be going back for sure!

A very coffee shop type of crowd. Very friendly.  The last time I was there, a gentleman was even playing the piano and singing.  Great way to start your Saturday morningFood: 5/5

I really enjoyed my experience here! I ordered an iced coffee and a Caesar salad and liked both. The cheese curds in the salad were a unique touch and they were delicious. The iced coffee was also good. The inside of this cafe is super cute and it is a nice cozy environment. When we visited, there was live piano which we loved!

I normally love places like this because of the service they provide. Unfortunately service is the reason I am scoring them a 3. The sign outside said they roasted their own beans. I asked what he would recommend and the response I got was "we roast 2 medium and dark, which do you want". Then he just stood there until I responded.

The atmosphere is lovely. The live piano music was the perfect touch to make it a relaxing breakfast. The style and decor was unique and inviting. Good breakfast sandwich and vanilla spiced chai. I will definitely be coming back.

Awesome addition to downtown Moline. It's now my go-to Coffee shop. Nice atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating. Public Wi-Fi. Great Coffee!Food: 5/5

Pros: Visited in the afternoon on a Thursday. Cute shop. Love that they have a baby grand piano inside. Really just generally an attractive interior look. The theme of famous deceased poets is fun too. Apparently they roast their own beans, though I didn't sample. I had a standard latte, which was good. Cons: the gentleman working the counter was semi-helpful. I tried asking what drink would be recommended, if they have any special or unique drinks, or customer favorites. Sounds like not really. He didn't have a lot to say or recommend. I also wanted a small something around 8-12 oz, but they literally don't offer any coffee drinks other than an espresso shot in smalls. So I had to get a medium 16 oz latte. In retrospect, I should've just asked him to charge me the full amount but just fill the cup half full. I didn't need that much latte. Would I recommend? I THINK so? Idk, it's a cute place, and if you're not picky, I could see it being a nice stop. I'd even consider returning myself. But just make sure you don't want a small!
