Pelo's Sundries - Le Claire

Met the lovely owner here last year and had some of his delicious $1 coffee. Checking in today to make sure he’s doing ok and in the hope that this unique gem is still open. Wishing you and your business all the best during the pandemic and looking forward to seeing you open again soon.

In our recent visit to Le Claire we found that this gem of a coffee shop was closed due to the pandemic. That was sad! Because we sat down with the owner Gregg after watching numerous residents of this beautiful town stop to visit him. What an amazing historian of the town. This store has been in his family for over 75 years! We hope to return for the grand reopening for some coffee!!

We ventured to Le Claire today with our visitors from California on a mission to visit what we thought was a book store. Much to our surprise it is really a coffee shop and because of the pandemic, was closed to customers. Happily, we were not turned away though, but were given a peek in the shop and its treasures. Thanks, Gregg! You were so informative and kind. We hope to stop in for more conversation and maybe a coffee sometime soon!

Spent many years having coffee in Pelo's. Was a great spot to meet friends for coffee, soda and visit. Has turned into a private museum and coffee shop has been neglected. Sad!

We very much enjoyed are time talking to Gregg. He was very entertaining with many interesting stories. We will definitely stop in for tea, coffee and conversation again. Never judge a book by its cover for what words are read may be life changing
