Local coffee business will operate a new cafe at the Peoria Civic Center

Visitors to the Peoria Civic Center will now be able to find a dedicated CxT Roasting Company Café.

“We are committed to enhancing the guest experience,” said Rik Edgar, the Peoria Civic Center’s general manager. "The addition of CxT coffee is a great way to not only honor that commitment but highlight an outstanding Peoria based company as well.”

CxT Roasting Company opened its downtown Peoria storefront – situated at 309 Main St. Suite B – in 2016. The business has since grown and expanded to include a location at Keller Station, as well.

At the Peoria Civic Center, CxT will offer a variety of coffee-based drinks and will feature an espresso bar, according to the news release. The café will be in operation during various events.

In December, the Peoria Civic Center welcomed Avanti’s Ristorante. The concession stand, located in Carver Arena, offers pizza bread, Gondolas and more.
