Matari Coffee Co. Peoria

From the moment I walked into Matari Coffee Co., I was honestly blown away by how stunning it is. The entire space feels upscale and elegant, with beautiful gold accents throughout and a classy, refined atmosphere. There was a soft symphony of music playing in the background while everyone enjoyed their drinks, and it elevated the whole experience in the most thoughtful way, I loved that! It truly felt like a luxury coffee lounge. You can immediately tell this isn’t just “another coffee shop.” They create exceptional Yemeni specialty grade coffee using top quality beans, and every single cup is crafted with care and precision. I watched them handcraft drinks one by one, and it was clear how much pride they take in making each order perfectly. That level of detail really stood out to me.

Lovely Yemenis coffee shop. The service, ambient, staff, food, coffee and pastries are fanatics here. Highly recommend this place to coffee lovers and foodies in Peoria Illinois and Bloomington. I wish they were around 18 years ago when I used to live in Peoria.

Yemeni style coffee in the Willow Knolls shopping complex. Matari offers comfortable seating, luxurious decor, and unforgettable coffee and pastries. The Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake has become a go-to, but flaky croissants are also an excellent option.

We visited Matari Coffee with our kids and really enjoyed the experience. The place is elegant, very clean, and has a nice vibe — perfect for coffee and desserts. We had the tiramisu chocolate cupcake and pistachio milk cake, and both were delicious. While some desserts may lean on the sweeter side, the ones we chose were well-balanced and not overly sweet, which we appreciated. Expect to spend about $10–20 per person. Overall, a great spot to relax and enjoy quality desserts. We’ll be back to try more!

Great addition to the Peoria area for coffe and desserts. Wide variety of selections to choose from. Little on the pricier side compared to local chains. Ambiance is nice. Coffees are splendid. Look forward to see what they can do with breakfast options.
