QC Fuel

"I absolutely love this place! The girls are amazing and they make the best smoothies!"

"This is my #1 coffee shop. I am here on the daily (no lie literally 730am monday-friday). I pull up and order the same thing every morning. I wish I knew her name but there is an amazing blonde woman who works there even knows my order by heart, 32 oz Carmel coffee baller whole milk no whip! So yummy!!! I can not speak high enough about this place. I used to come and get the coffee baller all the time but it was a 24 oz and then I asked if they ever considered making a larger one. Next thing you know the 32 oz on the menu!!! This place truly cares about their customers and takes their customers, opinions to heart! Amazing staff! Amazing coffee and insanely cheaply priced. I will continue to come here every morning regardless if I'm running late for work or not. Lol. Coffee from here is non-negotiable"

"First time trying this place and it’s wonderful! The employees greeted me right away and were incredibly helpful. I’m insanely indecisive and I just asked them for a recommendation and they made me the best chocolate cold brew I’ve ever had in my life. Check this small business out!"

"My protein shake was super good! Great prices too!"

"After visiting the QC Fuel on Maplecrest, I saw another location closer to downtown Bettendorf. Having enjoyed my prior visit (and having dinner plans for later in the evening close by to this location) I decided to stop in to relax and sip another hot chocolate. Many of the same features and decorations fill the space in this QC Fuel that are also present at Maplecrest. The walls are a similar combination of red, white, and dark grey, with similar corrugated steel along the bottom of one wall. There's a merch rack in one corner, an elevated bar with a row of stools, and two tables with seating that make up the furniture and fixtures. The floors are a simple concrete slab adorned only with functional dark grey area rugs. The drop ceiling contains many of the same fluorescent lighting and diffuser tiles one might see in any office building. The whole aesthetic still comes together to give the space the appearance of a waiting area in a bare bones auto mechanic shop. All of that description I give to say, again as before, I like it. I opted again for a hot cocoa, this time chocolate flavored with almond milk and whipped cream. Not much to say in comparison to the hot cocoa at Maplecrest, other than I loved this hot cocoa too. It was rich and chocolatey, but this particular drink had a slightly nutty flavor. I'd definitely get this again. The music was similarly done right at this location as it was at Maplecrest. That is to say it was at an appropriate volume to be noticed without inhibiting quiet conversation or other contemplative activities like school or regular work. The music playing at the time of my visit was pop country, which is not my first preference for coffee shop music, but I'm not complaining further than this mention. It was at the appropriate volume, which is the most important thing here. This is out of the way of anything I'd normally do in Bettendorf, so I probably wouldn't regularly return. I'd still heartily recommend this space for a nice hot beverage and/or a relaxing conversation with a friend. Good job QC Fuel."
