This is part two is a long series of Rockford workspace reviews. You can check here for more reviews.

Type - Coffee House

Coffee - $1.39/sm, $1.69/lg, $2.50/bottomless. Katie’s Cup has several different blends at all times. I’ve sampled 3 or 4 of these blends over time, and found them all to be fantastic (@shawnmk of wallblank fame recommends the Ethiopian Harrar). The huge plus of Katie’s Cup is that the coffee is always available in self-serve air-pots, which means no waiting for a Barista to fill an empty cup.

Atmosphere - Very inviting, with a large open area. There is a couch facing a warm fireplace with makes for a wonderful work environment. Another great Katie’s Cup feature is a large conference table that can be reserved ahead of time for large parties. However, the music selection is generally a little odd, but nothing to be concerned with.

Internet - Free & Fast - 6.89/Mb Down, 1.47/Mb Up - One of my favorite internet connections in Rockford. Very stable, never had a connection issue. There are plenty of outlets, even by the couches and the fireplace.

Food - Only offers light food selection. Ham/Turkey/Chicken Salad sandwiches for lunch & bagels and muffins for breakfast. A Soup and Sandwich combo is just $5.99, with a different soup every day.
