Now that I’ve been to this location, I was able to see how great it is. I think I’ll be coming here a lot more often. Thank you for the great customer service and the conversation Alex!
These leaves and beans are sprouting up everywhere!
It’s always a pleasant surprise when a local business opens up a new location. With Leaves ‘n Beans, it wasn’t a huge surprise to see they opened yet another location, this time in Pekin. Personally, I have found Pekin to be lacking good coffeehouses so it was a pleasant surprise to see them get a Peoria-based legend. This location opened in April 2021 and I wasted no time in checking it out.
Maria and I popped in on a sunny and extremely hot Saturday afternoon. I was surprised to see the place empty. I figured with the weather finally playing nice, this place would be busy with kids getting sugary drinks, some end-of-semester college students cramming in for finals (unless they already took them), and people just out and about. Nope. Maria and I had the place to ourselves for the later part of the afternoon. There was the occasional person stopping in and their drive-thru had a few visitors.
The staff was super friendly in taking my order and they even brought my order out to me after telling me to pick it up at the end… I ended up wandering from the ‘pick up’ area to look at the art on the opposite wall while I waited. My drink of choice wasn’t a bitter black coffee like I’ve been ordering lately. With the weather being generally awful as of late, I needed something to perk me up and I picked the ‘Sugar Daddy’ to do just that. This is the first time I ordered this at a Leaves ‘n Beans and it was pretty good. I don’t remember what makes up the ‘Sugar Daddy’ besides it being a latte. Maybe it was caramel and… hazelnut? That sounds about right but don’t quote me on that. Either way, it was just the thing I needed on this sunny and hot afternoon. I also grabbed a chocolate chip cookie from their selection of baked goods. The cookie itself was decent. Nothing to write home about but it went well with my drink.
As is typical for me, they do offer a food menu but I wasn’t hungry enough to order something from it.
The interior of this Leaves ‘n Beans location was two things. Larger than I expected and nicer than I anticipated. As I walked in, I was impressed with the size of the ‘dining area’ and how it was laid out. There is plenty of space for people to sit without sitting too close to the next table. There was also this cozy little nook heading back towards the bathroom that would be perfect for a small group of friends to sit there for some privacy. On the wall between the register and the pick up area was a nicely crafted wood wall with Pekin in metal letters and the company logo above it. You can see it above and below. It is a very nice touch to the overall aesthetics of the coffeehouse.
Truth be told, the building its located in has seen better days and had some empty retail spots. I almost didn’t believe this was were the place was located because from the road, it looked nearly empty and abandoned but sure enough, there was coffee located on the right side of this little strip. I am not too familiar with Pekin but I do hope that this location brings in some foot traffic to the area and becomes a thriving strip of stores.
Pekin, do your best to support this place so you all have an actual place to get coffee that isn’t McDonald’s or maybe that one-off Starbucks.
