My new favorite coffee shop in Peoria. Great selection of coffee and teas with super friendly service. We like the living wall of plants to sit by and relax. Have a huge selection of drinks, especially different teas. Were looking forward to coming back and trying some new things.

Coffee is really good the food available is really good. By the name and the type of place it’s very misleading that there’s no Spanish speaking staff. I don’t drink coffee and following my mother and sister on their daily coffee run ordering for them as the staff doesn’t speak Spanish they where not very helpful and saw me struggle to order a cup of Columbian coffee as I do not drink coffee whatsoever and am not very knowledgeable. It was honestly embarrassing because it seems places like this always like our culture but not our people.

Some nice people are trying very hard to create a satisfying coffee house and I am happy to say they are succeeding. Junction City has a particular ambiance all its own and Cafe Santa Rosa fits right in. The coffee beverages are top notch and the service quick and courteous. One of the few places you can get an authentic shakerato. Espresso served over ice. A nice intense coffee flavor. Give them a try. You wont be disappointed.

Visited for the first time recently and got the Mexican Vanilla latte. It was excellent. The flavor was great and I loved that I could still taste the espresso along with it (rather than being totally masked by the flavor). Cute interior as well and outdoor seating is also available.

My husband and I came here for the first time today & couldn’t wait to try this new local third wave coffee shop. We got an Americano & a Cortado. Both were outstanding (and my husband is veeeeery picky!). The workers were so genuine & welcoming, looked you in the eye, educated without being pretentious at all. I have finally found an all around fantastic local coffee shop to support!

Great atmosphere, and great drinks! Everyone there was super pleasant to be around. Juliana greeted me and wished me a good day as I left. The drinks were tasty, everything was kept clean, and all employees were wearing masks. Going to go back with a group of friends to study sometime!

My favorite place for coffee in the Peoria area! Every drink has been delicious - iced or hot. The iced Miel is my favorite. Their house made syrups are also so so good! I’m so thankful to have them in the area.

Review Visit: October 1st, 2020Is β€˜third times the charm’ applicable for coffeehouses in this location? Only time will tell.Having been two other coffeehouses in the past (Caffe Bogota and 30/30 Coffee), will the Cafe Santa Rosa be the one that makes it in this location? Hopefully!I try to avoid discussing the state of the world in these blogs but 2020 has been a year of staying home and traveling via imagination. When my friend Maria mentioned there was a new coffeehouse that opened in Peoria, we decided to try it out. Worst comes to worst, we would get our drinks and enjoy them outside. Luckily upon entering, everything was spaced far enough apart that we could sit inside instead of the dreary rainy yet sunny weather outside.Having visited Caffe Bogota prior to Cafe Santa Rosa opening, I noticed quite the similar layout and decor. Maybe they inherited the stuff from the previous owners or what. But I liked the decor of the prior place so this brought up the feeling of something slightly new yet familiar. Despite the feeling of deja vu, the menu and food offerings seemed to be unique to this new place. They had some quiche in their baked goods merchandiser, which I don’t think I’ve seen in any other coffeehouse.Maria had already ordered her drink by the time I got there as I was held up in traffic due to some incident about 2 mile from my destination. After watching the menu switch between different images on the tv behind the barista, I decided to order a black cold brew. Lately, I’ve been enjoying the bitterness of cold brews and americanos, so that is why I deviated from my usual ice caramel latte. I placed my ordered and bought some of these cheese breadsticks that Maria said she was eyeing. We split those as I waited for my cold brew to come out. The drink itself was $4 for a 16 ounce while the breadsticks were $0.75. The sticks were a good deal considering the amount that came in the little bag. Maria brought me some homemade banana bread but I saved that for the car ride home :3.As we sat there enjoying the remnants of the breadsticks and our dwindling coffee, I instantly recognized a problem with this place. It wasn’t packed by any means… maybe 5 people total minus the staff… but the place was loud. I had some bad flashbacks to my times visiting Zion Coffee Bar and mentally being overwhelmed at the sheer volume of the place. It got hard to hear Maria as we conversed. Luckily this issue slowly faded as a few people left, but then it felt like anytime we talked, everyone could heard every single thing we said at full volume. This lead to some uncomfortable conversations and awkward silences.All that aside, we are here to discuss coffee. How was the cold brew? It was…. a cold brew. Nothing exciting yet nothing disappointing. It was no different than cold brews that I’ve made myself. But at the same time, cold brews can be flavored (which I didn’t do this time), so the sky is the limit on flavoring it to your liking. I did feel that the ice was a bit much in my cup and actually cut down on the amount of coffee I was served. But maybe that’s a good thing as what I did have was enough to wake me up without making me jittery.Maria said she had been here the week before when there was a car show and she really enjoyed the coffee she got then. This is how she discovered the place and piqued my interest in coming. I am glad to get out of my place and explore a place since it had been about 7 months since I’ve really gone anywhere besides work and the store.I do hope this place sticks around for awhile as I have recently gotten in to teas in the last few months and really want to try some of this… Rishi?… tea they have on the menu. Overall, not a bad place to get some coffee that might be better to take out than eat in due to interior volume issues.

I always wanted to try this place, i am glad i did. I am very particular about my coffee and details how its made. This place made sure every sip to the last of my drink is made to perfection. All thanks to the barista @Cami who turned a boring decaf and oatmilk into a delicious cappuccino. I hardly noticed any difference. She was so polite and kind.The ambiance just makes you feel relaxed. Especially the chrismassy touch gave it more holiday sparkels.Thanks for such pleasant experience
