I love coming here in the morning to relax. HearthRock Cafe has such a nice atmosphere and the barista is such a sweet lady. I've always felt like I'm greeted and served as if I'm visiting a home. Thank you for the great meal! 10/10 would highly recommend! P.s. I even took my boyfriend here before too and he highly recommends the breakfast burrito ! :)

Cozy spot to have a good meal while dreaming about decorating your home! Though they offer take-out as well, which is what we did this time for Rockford's restaurant week. We tried the Cuban and the ribs quesadilla. I loved the smoky flavor of the meat in the 'dilla and would give it a thumbs up. Friendly service as well!

Food was really good, portions were fine but the price was surprisingly high. I would recommend the baked goods though!

I’ve enjoyed my experience here so far. Cozy atmosphere. The Cuban was excellent. Chili is good. I thought the baby back rib quesadillas were too greasy and could have used a white fresco cheese as substitute for the cheddar but flavor overall was decent. Pictured is the Rueben and chili.

Fresh deli sandwiches, salad, and coffee. They do have variety of items in their menu: bakery, crafted specialties; deli sandwiches, soups, salad, coffee and soft drinks. Nice ambiance. Reasonable price, yet classy atmosphere. Love it..

We have lived here for 3 years now, and we are just now finding this quaint little restaurant. I had the breakfast plate, and my husband had the breakfast burrito. They were both delicious. We can't wait to go back for lunch. My expresso coffee was my treat for the day, and it was one I did not regret getting!

We stopped last week to visit Benson Stone and found the cafe. We decided to stop and have a bite before our shopping. What a good choice! Wonderful food and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

We ordered the Ham and Swiss with Chips and the Grilled Chicken Wrap with Broccoli Cheese Soup. The wrap was good, but once I tried a bite of the Ham and Swiss I was having buyers remorse. It was so good it just melted in your mouth, the stuff I would have expected from a sit down, full service restaurant. Definitely worth checking out!
