Reviews of Crown Brew Coffee Co. (Coffee Shop)

Jonathan Cohen

Great atmosphere and even better coffee. The have a modern, yet classic menu. Their staff is friendly and inviting. A great place to stop if you’re in town and just a great a place to stop at when passing through.

Randall Kopchak

Great little coffee shop, featuring single origin pour overs.

Dania Laubach

Love the vibe here. Take your time, the coffee is brewed cup by cup, especially for you and worth the wait. Iced or hot their coffee always hits the spot. While you wait, check out the local artisans shop, Irons in the Fire. Thursday local food truc, Haute Wheels is there, try the fish taco.

Alejandro Hornik

Crown Brew is a great local coffee shop...not only are the coffee and eats delectable, but the live entertainment on the weekends is always spot on!

Super friendly staff that is happy to help you choose the perfect drink. Keep in mind that this is not Starbucks and you have to ask for a SWEET drink if that's what you want. Very trendy shop to sit and drink your coffee or browse the stores next door for unique items.

Jason Fort

Great coffee shop. My latte was exceptional. Also great atmosphere. Love what Crown Brew is doing in the area by providing a space for community building. We drove 20 minutes outside of our way just to go. :)

It is the best coffee shop Southern Illinois has ever had.

Mariah Nelson

Such a great place to relax and spend quality time with friends and family. I am proud to be from Southern Illinois. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Seth Jackson

A GEM. Best place to get coffee within the southern Illinois area. 15 minutes off of the interstate and worth the caffeine stop. Rivals coffee shops in Portland and Nashville! I love the flight option. Try all the things you want to without hurting your stomach or your wallet. Wonderful music, comfy seating, clean restrooms, and delightful and knowledgeable baristas. Worth your time!

Tim Reed

Wonderful lattes!

Jarod Winkleman

Great coffee, good baristas , and a neat environment.

Amber Walgamott

Outstanding coffee and donuts for anyone who wants a relaxing and custom coffee experience with an amazing staff and environment.

Bruce Fisher

Great place for great coffee and relaxing

Eric Pitts

An insane diamond in the rough found in downtown Carterville. First, the coffee and other drinks are delicious. The ambiance is great and is a great use of an old industrial style building. The other businesses attached to Crown (Irons in the Fire and Live Simply Boutiques) are an added bonus.

Noam Gordon

What an excellent cortado coffee place!

Robyn Cheatham

Everytime I'm there it's an amazing experience. The staff, the patrons and of course the coffee... FANTASTIC PLACE!!

do not know

Great tasting coffee beverages made fresh for you! They have pastries and other drinks too. Great interior and friendly service. I highly recommend it!

Joseph Hileman

My new office is close to this coffee shop so I’ve started stopping by after work. A very relaxing environment and a good place to let off some steam after a long days work. I always have a cold brew coffee and it does the trick. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Jason Stemm

This is a classy joint. Better than starbucks with a better atmosphere. Baristas are into making artsy presentations in their coffee. Moderate pricing, and good value.

Jamie Leftwich

Love this place

S McK

Great people; great vibe; great coffee; reasonable prices... What's not to like? Highly recommended!

Elizabeth Robinson

The person behind the counter is extremely patient and kind coffee was awesome and it's a nice cozy place

Ryan Stefan

Very friendly service. I haven't been to their main location yet. I was at their temporary location at John A. Logan. Glad to have better coffee and service compared to the old cafeteria coffee from before.

Cristyn Farris

Good coffee, nice atmosphere

Anthony Muccio

Escaped the heat by stepping in to this cozy shop over the summer. The friendly staff are really what made the experience memorable. Great coffee, staff and overall atmosphere. If I ever find myself in Carterville again I'll be sure to stop by.

Paul Greif

I’ve gone to Crown Brew nearly every single week for the past 2 months because of he atmosphere, the friendly employees, and the great coffee! Live music on Friday evenings is awesome, too!

Sean Ladwig

Delicious, specialty coffees with that Midwestern heart.

Bethany Streuter

Can't rave enough about how much we love this place! Fantastic, friendly staff who are truly passionate about what they're doing. You're not a customer, you're a friend. Delicious, hand crafted drinks. Super neat atmosphere. Live music on Fridays. Get a Turtle latte, or any cold brew, you won't be disappointed!

Kat Bullock

Looking for something hip, unique, and health-and-nature-conscious? Head out to Crown Brew and get your choice of handmade and blended coffees and teas (also, hot chocolate-yum!). My favorite is the dark turtle cold brew latte with almond milk. Plus they have super comfy couches.

Arthur Fager

Great Place, Open & welcoming inside. Service is excellent. You have to wait a little since each cup in brewed individually but it is worth the wait. Great Coffee. If you want to go have a cup of coffee with a friend and relax and enjoy the experience this is a good choice.

Lexis Pettinger

Was here during the soft opening on a whim. Some of the best coffee i've had, so lucky to find such a cute little cafe.

Friendly personnel...coffee is top notch craft brewed! Super awesome experience that will not disappoint!

Sherie Loverkamp

WoW! I have found a new favorite place. So sad that it is an hour away from my home, but that won't stop me from coming back. I love the atmosphere and the coffee was DELICIOUS. She brewed and blended my special request and it did not disappoint. Love finding little gems like this.

Jeremiah Farlow

Great coffee and great atmosphere... These guys really know how to bring a community feel into their business.

Kerry O'Leary

The people are friendly and always willing to help me when I'm indecisive about my drink choices. The seasonal tumeric rosemary lattes is one of my favorites along with the year-round honey drop lattes. They have MORE THAN COFFEE! They also offer loose leaf teas and lemonades.

Paul Matula

A local coffee shop with a big community impact. These guys find a way to be a part of almost any event or space they can. Outside of the shop itself they can be found at the farmers market and local college which makes them very accessible. The pourover only approach means you will not be able to get quick coffee but it is worth it. Single origin roasts are flavorful and hit the right profiles you expect for where they are from. That said only of their popular options is the most questionable. People here love their coldbrew but it is not a proper coldbrew. They use their Guatemala roast for the coldbrew which as a light to medium roast accentuates the naturally sour flavors of that bean. In a hot coffee the acidity can lift that sourness to create a bright note that balances the smokiness of Guatemalan beans and imitates an almost chocolate like flavor. In cold brew it loses that acidity and underextracts that key flavor leading to a sour and slightly smoky brew. Since most people will use the cold brew as essentially a replacement for espresso here and mix it with milk and flavored syrups there are few who would care. If you're here for a black iced coffee or clean cold brew you'll be best served elsewhere until they switch to a darker roast or opt for an alternative light bean like a Costa Rican. TL;DR - Stick to hot coffee and enjoy the atmosphere. The cold brew isn't perfected yet.

Gracey Gowler

This is a great coffee shop their love for coffee and their customers really shows.

Kerry O'leary

Friendly staff and each cup is custom made to the customer's preference.

megan benitone

Custom coffee lives here. This is a family friendly place and suits everyone from the busy parent to the low-key student. This place's aesthetic is as amazing as their coffee.

Ruth Suddarth

The chai latte is so good & packed with flavor. Will definitely be going back for another very soon.

Christopher Boyd

Crown Brew has great coffee and the owners are extremely knowledgeable. They create a great atmosphere that will make you want to come back.

I was visiting my doctor in Carterville and stopped into this place and was the best coffee I ever had; wish something was like this in Marion. It would go well with Krispy Kreme.

My favorite place to get a coffee! People there are amazing

Judy Williams

You have to try the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Latte! Its amazing!

Chris Flanigan

My wife is from Carterville and she had been following Crown Brew on Instagram for awhile so we decided to stop in when we were in town. It was fantastic. I had a vanilla latte and my wife had the turtle latte. We browsed the shop, and the shop next door... and I snuck back to try an espresso crafted on the manual press. It also was amazing. My wife was impressed enough that she stalked them all the way to the Marion Farmer's Market before a work trip to buy a drink and a growler to take home. Stop in and support these people. They're doing great things, and making great coffee.

Alex The Great

I absoloutly love the atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and the music is just as good as the aesthetic. I love to come here to work on homework or just to hang out for a while

Daniel Tolley

Love it! Amazing coffee!

djswanboy 1

Good coffee, nice aesthetic, comfortable environment. 10/10

Nikolai A

I am not sure how this place exists in such a small town. This is by far the greatest coffee shop I've ever been to. Great decor and atmosphere, calm music exposed brick, tall ceilings, shiplap accent walls. Coffee is pour over which is ground and made in front of you. You can't get more fresh than that. Service is quick and friendly. It's worth going out of the way to see.

Tammy Stein

Love this place!!

Yohimar Sivira

Very urban style. I loved it! You would forget u r in SI!

Kara Nanney

Kent Zimmer

The folks who run Crown Brew are not only passionate about great coffee, but they are passionate about providing an exceptional customer experience! If you love coffee, and you haven't been to downtown Carterville to visit this place, then you're missing out! It's a taste of the big city, right here in Southern Illinois. We are lucky to have them here!
