The Coffee Vault

Another great visit. This time around I had the tried and true Galena mocha. It was pleasantly sweet and had a nice balance of flavors. I also got a chocolate chip pecan scones, and it was incredible! I'm a sucker for a good scone, and these had the right crunch on the outside while still being soft on the inside. You can always rely on good drinks, food, and service at this adorable spot in Galena.

I love the coffee vault... it's an old bank turned coffee shop and has a small but charming upstairs where you can order yummy classic and seasonal drinks as well as some breakfast options (I love the muffins) and the down stairs is cozy and inviting! The stairs to get down are a little scary, but you can go out the front and come back in the side to access it a little easier. The girls working behind the counter are always super friendly and you get your order pretty quick. Galena has such charm and this is the perfect little spot!

This place is great! If you haven't been I'd highly suggest a visit. The shop is in the old Galena bank and they still have the vault door, which is really cool. The staff are super nice and the food and drinks are delicious. I got a 16 oz. iced mocha, a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an English muffin and a lemon muffin. Best way to start a Saturday - will definitely be back soon!

Never had been there before and not all that familiar with so many coffee choices. The staff was great! Patient with me in regards to coffee nomenclature and was very helpful and friendly! Kudos to them.

What a gorgeous and cool little coffee spot in a historic bank building!Sit on the patio overlooking the River or in the cozy living room downstairs. Or, go up the spiral staircase to the bright and cheery cafe area. Lots of coffee, tea and pastry options to start your morning off right. I love this place!

Friendly baristas, local and in house baked goods and locally roasted coffee. Only stopped in because I was passing through the area but I would stop again at this cute shop.

I try to stop in when I can. Great place! Coffee is really good. I think I paid like $5.75-$6.75 for the larger size coffee. Which was twice the amount you'd get at Starbucks for that price. They have alot of good was to customize your coffee. I do wish that had something other than the container you get at the store for the creams. I just feel like it would look better to not just hand the creamer carton to the customer, but have a creamer holder labeled for the customer to use instead. Aside from the it's a very cute cafe. They have some merch, ground coffee you can buy. I think I noticed some price tags on some of the art. So the art might be for sale I may be mistaken I took a at quick glance. They go have delicious bagels and other treats available too! The old bank vault is still there and open it's pretty cool to look at! Staff is always so nice and helpful!

This coffee shop lives up to the great reviews. I will dream about their iced lattes. Located on a pretty town square in Galena right next door to Galena Diner and Son of Thurman. They have off street parking and a little outdoor patio. The downstairs seating is also open again. Staff is very friendly and the coffee is sooo good. They also have monthly seasonal special drinks. This month it is blueberry cobbler latte or s'mores latte. This is a short drive from Alum Creek and Polaris. Loved it!

Always an amazing experience! I can't believe I've never left a review for The Coffee Vault! My wife and I frequent this coffee shop because of the atmosphere, friendly service, and amazing coffee and food!The Coffee Vault is such a unique place. They have seating upstairs, downstairs, and a little patio out back (covered by shade). They were unfortunately cleaning the downstairs area for closing today, but we were able to find a table out on their patio! I ordered the special of the month - Salted caramel cold brew with chocolate cold foam. I will literally NEVER go back to Starbucks or any chain coffee shop after trying their cold foam! The salted caramel isn't overpowering, but is delicious! The cold brew is smooth and refreshing! I also ordered the chicken salad on a croissant. Again... never disappointing! I don't know who was toasting the croissants, but they deserve a trophy! The croissant was perfectly toasted. The chicken salad is also absolutely amazing! We will definitely be frequenting this place more often this summer!

Coffee was not bad. Unfortunately they charged us for low ice in our cold brew. Also, the creamer is not self serve.
