CxT Roasting Company - Apollo

you're on main street in downtown peoria, which isn't the kind of block that rewards half-attention. cxt roasting company's apollo location sits at 309b, and if you've spent any time in this part of the illinois river corridor, you already know the difference between a place that tolerates you and one that actually wants you to stay. apollo falls into the second category, and its regulars have noticed. specialty roasting is the whole point here, which means the coffee isn't a backdrop to something else. it's the thing. peoria doesn't have an endless bench of options at this level, so apollo carries some real weight in the neighborhood. worth showing up for a mid-morning pour before main street gets its afternoon traffic.
