Brilliant Coffee - Bloomington

Best gelatos I have ever had. Flavors are unique and price is relatively low. Whiskey gelato is

The first year or two this place was open it easily got 5 stars from me. They had great coffee, delicious scones, and more reasonable prices than the the other coffee shops in town. But a couple years ago they jacked their prices up to match everyone else in town and they got rid of their decaf espresso, and I almost exclusively drink decaf. So while their coffee is still good, I first began getting it less often because it got more expensive, then I stopped completely once they dropped their decaf option. Both were big disappointments for me. I’m still giving them 4 stars, though, because for most people (who don’t care about decaf) it’s still a very good place.

We went for gellato, and I wasn't a fan. The staff is the best. Vibe was there. The gellato was hard and the taste wasn't all there for me. I felt it overpriced. The espresso was delicious. I won't go back for the gellato but definitely coffee, homework, meetings. I get it for that.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp

I don't typically play favorites, although Brilliant Coffee, tastes as genuinely clever and of character as the name suggests.Cheers to Brilliant Ideas in 2023!

The coffee is quite good, but don't trust that they're open based on the hours on their door, or Facebook page. Rumor has it that their Instagram posts more accurate hours. If I knew when I could get coffee instead of disappointment, I'd rate 5 stars.
