Skip the chain store coffee and get your coffee and espresso fix here. Great tasting, hand crafted drinks and tasty bakery items for the masses. I recommend a visit!

I’ve never left a coffee shop in tears but, unbelievably, I did today. Stopped in for a treat while on my anniversary trip with my husband. Ordered a latte, half sweet, as I usually do at coffee shops. I’ve been to MANY. It’s my thing. So I know that usually syrups come 4 pumps in a large, making half sweet 2 pumps. My latte came out super sweet. I went up and asked the young lady who made my drink if she remembered to make it half sweet, because it was very sweet. She said yes, that she put in 4 pumps. I asked how many pumps normally go in, and she said 8. I said it was too sweet to drink for my dietary needs, and that normally coffee shops do 4 pumps, making half sweet 2 pumps, and asked if I could get it remade. She said no. I said I spent $7 on a drink that I literally couldn’t drink because they don’t do standard amount of pumps like other coffee shops. She said no. I asked if she was the manager. All this time I was very calm and talking softly so I wouldn’t make a scene. At this point she shut down and stopped replying to me when I asked to speak to a manager. Another woman heard and said she was the manager, and asked what the problem was. Before I could answer, the girl who made my drink jumped in saying the I was HARASSING her and trying to get a free drink out of her. At this point I was almost in tears, and the manager could see it. Yet the girl kept going on about how I was harassing her. Not even in the slightest was I harassing her. Since when did customer service become such a low priority?! The only glimmer of light here was that the manager listened to my concerns and agreed to remake my drink, but told me if I come back that I need to specify how many pumps of syrup because they do their “special recipe”. Sorry, no…it’s not a special recipe to double your syrup from other coffee shops…that’s just confusing. Worst coffee shop experience EVER. I highly recommend training ALL the staff in listening to the customer and trying their best to make it right if the customer isn’t happy. It’s not enough for these young people to know how to pull an espresso shot…they need to learn how to be respectful to the customers as well. Giving 2 stars instead of one since the manager was helpful and did a better job with this.

This was such a cute place to stop in and have a moment to sit in between my travels. It had plenty of couches, chairs, and tables to work or relax at. I was very impressed with the atmosphere of it all. Their coffee was also good, a little sweet, but good. I also had their mixed chai latte, which impressed me. I am not a huge chai drinker, but theirs was good and surprisingly creamy.

I LOVE Jeremiah Joe’s (both locations) in Ottawa, IL! I have a complicated drink that I request on a near-daily basis, and I have found that I prefer this coffee shop over any others. The staff are very helpful and accommodating–and the drinks are delicious. The downtown location is re-made from what had long ago been Famous Dept. Store, and it is a thrill to still see the old logos displayed on the ground near the entryway. The downtown location is the perfect place to meet a friend for a chat, space out while watching traffic, or to read a book and relax, while the drive-thru location by the canal is great for when I need my coffee on the run. Many of the employees go above-and-beyond to be helpful and friendly–especially BRITTANY—she is the BEST. Always helpful, always friendly–she makes my day! Brittany’s awesomeness in no way takes away from some of the other wonderful people who also work there, such as Karole, Karcin, Shelby, Emma, and Erica—(I hope I spelled names correctly)–as well as many others (whose names I am sorry that I do not know). Whenever I get to take a moment to partake of a mocha at Jeremiah Joe’s, it is something I have looked forward to, and it’s often the highlight of my day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Really good latte (especially with an extra shot). Clean and comfortable. Staff seemed a little gun-shy taking my order – probably because I looked a little rougher than usual after camping in the Starved Rock campgrounds 🙂 When we’re in the area again, we’ll be back cleaned up a little better (cause the coffee was good)

Hold on to your mugs, because Jeremiah Joe Coffee’s app is a jolt of joy! With a mere swipe and a tap, I effortlessly ordered a medium hot coffee and a scrumptious blueberry scone. Talk about convenience that brews up pure bliss! Hats off to Jeremiah Joe for serving up the perfect blend of convenience and deliciousness in every sip and bite!

I can’t get over how bitter the coffee is here, but the smoothies are okay. The Pina colada one made with ice cream is my favorite but they were out of that one today so they made me a different kind(strawberry raspberry) & seriously less than 5 mins later it’s almost all melted & 1/3 of it is still smoothie.

This is a nice coffee shop in the heart of the old town, Ottawa. My girlfriend and I make it a routine to stop and get coffee before venturing onward to Starved Rock State Park. Great flavors and blends of coffee drinks. Would definitely recommend when visiting Ottawa IL.
