Love this place! Great coffee drinks, sandwiches. Very comfy homey atmosphere. The iced or hot toddies are delicious! Also had a great grilled cheese with tomTo sandwich and a BLT.

A very COZY cafe in a small town. It made me FEEL WARM the second I walked in with its friendly ambiance and staffs, and wide selections of coffee/tea. Overall, I think it's a slightly above average cafe, like a 3-star. But since the town doesn't have many decent cafes besides this one, I gave it 4 stars.

Good coffee! Nice staff. The place could use a little face lift, but all around great place. Just don't ask for the Greek coffee on the menu. They don't offer it! Theo, please remove the Greek coffee from the menu if its not being offered to the customers.

My sandwich and mocha were made with love and I could TASTE IT. delicious.

I went there the other day after it was pointed out to me on my website. So of course, I had to check it out and write a review! Some big positives: 1) Outdoor seating 2) Great coffee & food 3) Awesome historical pictures of the City inside 4) Free wifi from the hotel across the street Negatives: 1) Outdoor seating comes with crazy vagabonds wandering around from the bar next door...entertaining, but slightly bothersome when they want things from you 2) Facist parking lady giving everyone tickets So, here are my suggestions: 1) Head down there around lunch time 2) Park very carefully 3) Go inside and order a bite to eat and some coffee 4) Sit INSIDE and enjoy the atmosphere while you eat 5) Spend the last few minutes of lunch outside finishing your coffee and laughing at vagabonds 6) Return to work satisfied in mind, body and soul

Nothing, and I mean nothing, is as awesome as a large double vanilla latte with homemade whipped cream from Theo's to start my day!! This is the kind of coffee shop my husband and I look for in every town we travel through and can never quite find. The coffee and bagels or muffins make my day worthwhile!! Seriously love this place!!!

One of two competing, original QCA coffee houses. I haven't been in over 10 years and miss it terribly. They had real, honest to goodness delicious coffee and other assorted hot beverages, excellent local music acts, and awesome staff.
(4)Elaine C.
Just making sure my review doesn't seem stale. Have been coming here whenever I visit the QC, and it's still the best. Theo's retains every bit of its original charm while continuing to evolve and update their decor. The place looks great and the food and coffee are still delicious.
(5)Jim R.
Excellent coffee, friendly staff, cool jazz piped in over the sound system. Life is grand.

THE BEST damn coffee shop in the Quad Cities. But, god damn, I wasted so much of my life here. Like, so much. Like, oh god, the enormity of the amount of time I spent here is just.... oh god. And the amount of money...figure... $2.20 or so for a tall sludge cup... and all those years of ordering dark roast w/3 refills... and the muffins, and bagels, and soups consumed... oh man. Like, seriously, I spent so much time here. And that was before they even had such things as wi-fi. ...my youuuuuuuuth!
(5)Sam M.
Love it! Wish I was in Rock Island more so that I could stop on my way somewhere and get it. Personally think its better than Starbucks!
(4)Renee R.
One of my favorite places in the QC. Great place to read or hang out with friends.

I was visiting Rock Island and staying across the street at the Holiday Inn. Of course, Maxwell House just doesn't cut it. Luckily for us, Theo's serves up an excellent latte. The staff was friendly and efficient. The only downside is that it is not open on Sundays. Sadness and grouchiness dominated the rest of the day...Oh, and they only accept CASH or CHECK.
(4)Babs J.
Outstanding coffee. My drink of choice is a Mocha. Really comfortable atmosphere. Would be a wonderful place to hang out. I'm just visiting the area so I don't know if I'll have a chance, but hopefully. This place would fit right in our coffee center of the Pacific Northwest.

My first visit to Theo's was to enjoy an open mic nite. I typically attend at least one per week in the Quad CIties. I was surprised at how large the dining areas were, the place seemed comfortable enough and the stage area nice. However, the music.....not impressive. In fact more like offensive. I am more inclined to the singer/songwriter type of open mic. The open mic last night started at 7pm and ran til 10pm and seemed to brag of "punk". Many of the "performers" sang and played out of tune. They (the punkier ones) talked alot about being hung over or on drugs, and the use of the Devil's lettuce?? The worst of the bunch came when a trio of middle aged men plugged in and made some insane noise. It included profanity and directed it toward America? One guy had a sax, now I did not say he played it, I said he had one on stage and blew into it. The guitar player? The same, I don't think he had a clue what a guitar is for, really. Don't know what the other dude onstage was supposed to be doing. Im all for rebellion and chaos, but that? That was just horrible noise. There were only a handful of decent performers for the whole night, definitely not worth hanging out at this establishment all evening for that. We wont be back to this open mic-and will leave any open mic if we see that awful "trio" attempting to get onstage.

I keep coming back. The Reuben is up to $6.80 now. Still a great value. A couple of weeks ago I hosted a business meeting, and ordered a bunch of sandwiches. They had them ready just in time - so they weren't sitting around getting soggy. Everyone enjoyed their sack lunch. Still haven't seen anyone that works here that isn't super friendly and helpful. I can tell the staff care about each other. It is my favorite place for lunch.

I have gone to Theo's since I was an emo little 15 year old smoking my clove cigarettes. Theo's has always been a great place to meet for a cup of coffee and listen to music with friends. Theo's was hipster before I even know what a hipster was. The staff are always super friendly and don't act like jerks when you ask about certain drink ingredients.
(5)Melanie B.
Definitely love this java joint! My husband stopped in first one morning and raved about it so much that I had to try it! Great coffee, tons of choices... I had the veggie burrito! Yum! Great salsa! Hubs had the cinnamon roll! They also have breakfast and lunch. I saw paninis and soup on the board, need to try it out! Great local feel!
(5)Jeff S.
Staff here are just the best for friendly, quick and caring! Best crowd day and night.
(5)Collyn M.
The white chocolate caramel was sooooo good! Wish they were open on Sunday though. :(
(4)Hayley H.
Love! What a neat place. As soon as you walk towards Theo's you can feel the hipster vibe, since there were so many of them sitting outside at the tables on the sidewalk. Though that was what I was craving... being from Chicago and all. They have a full coffee shop menu, with sandwiches and other lunch fare items. I got a yummy tuna melt sandwich on wheat with cheddar cheese, freshly made by some long-haired barista. The iced coffee was good, though only one refill. Boo. I did sit and read for some time, it was very quiet, though air conditioned. The walls are covered with very interesting local historical antiques and old newspapers from important events in the world. The music is pretty great too. An ecclectic mix of music from around the world, few to be recognized, but a nice departure from the same ol'. I'll go again and have breakfast there.
(5)Natasha G.
This is my favorite coffee shop in my hometown. I always stop by several times when I'm home to visit! I just received such horrible service from the "baristas" and I'm not sure I'll be going back. Less attitude more coffee.
(2)Alexandra O.
Great atmosphere and super friendly service! The coffee was pretty good but was not very hot, and the orange muffin I had was also pretty tasty (although not impressive.) I would definitely recommend Theo's to anyone who really wants to find a chill and cozy hang out spot. I'll be back here for sure, possibly for studying or just for killing time reading! Go try this local coffee shop and support local businesses!
(4)Tara K.
Awesome breakfast burrito for the price. The iced coffee was splendid and they even gave me a free refill! The staff was sweet and the place was cozy.

Good coffee and bites, cool vibe.

After returning for a second visit in as many days, I've updated my rating to "A-OK" (3 stars) from 4. While I think the ambiance and venue is great, I remain uninspired by the food and coffee options. This time around, I jumped on the tasty-looking bagels they have displayed on the front counter. Cream cheese was provided on the side (kindof tacky), and I found the bagel itself to be dry, bland and hard. I was hungry, but that's the only reason I ate it at all. It was not good. I had the regular coffee this time instead of an espresso drink and wasn't impressed by it either. Certainly not bad coffee by any means, but it lacked any distinguishing characteristics- what I might expect from a restaurant but not a coffee shop. Overall, Theo's is a great place to come and hang out, but has some room to improve on their food and coffee choices.
(3)Kristin K.
Theo's feels like home.
(5)Steve B.
The iced coffee here was great- very smooth and almost sweet which I really like in iced coffee. I prefer spicier notes in hot coffee. I tried one of their bagels which looked really good in the bakery case. It was honestly one of the best bagels I've had outside of New York but wasn't quite as delicious as it looked. I'd still recommend it though. As others have said the ambiance is great!

Theo's has been a cornerstone of the District for a couple of a decades. They have great coffee and lots of seating. I do wish they still did live music shows and that they were open later, but the District itself seems to be dying a slow death. It's unfortunate that this seems to have caused a dip in Theo's patronage, as it has stayed a great place to relax, socialize, and enjoy some good food and drink. It's as comfortable as your own living room.
(4)Ethan D.
Theo's is seriously one of the coolest coffee shops I have ever been to, and this is coming from someone who lives in Portland, Oregon about as "coffee-shop" a city if there ever was one. I spent many great hours in Theo's, especially back in the day when they allowed smoking. A cigar, a cup of coffee, and a great book- one of my favorite ways to spend a few hours. Theo's is so nostalgic. A gritty, hipster coffee house identical to the ones you find out here in Portland. I spent 7 years in the Quad Cities, and whenever I think back to my time there, I relish every moment I spent in Theo's. Great place to blow time in the quad cities, in my opinion. Also an exceptional place to study late into the night.
(5)Margaux D.
I love this place. It's not as uppity as some coffee houses are starting to be, which is nice. When I go to a local place, I don't want to go to yet another Starbucks. I want to go to a place like Theo's where people aren't trained to say the same things. Theo's is also just far enough away from campus that you don't have to worry about the sorority girls coming in and out and giggling the entire time. It's a chill atmosphere and the staff are great. The highest complement I can give it is that I'd recommend Theo's to a friend (and I do).
(5)Thelonious F.
I've only been here to see a couple shows, but it was great. Nice people coupled with a trendy musical space makes this an A+ coffee shop.
