2025, Wrapped

Before we turn a page into a new year, let’s see what you loved best in 2025

It’s just about time to turn a page into another new year, but before you do, let’s see what you loved best at Eli’s in 2025!

Two drinks have always and will always reign supreme at Elis.

Daily Grind: you consumed 4,034 gallons of the best direct trade coffee in Central Illinois!

The Bohemian: no specialty drink can touch your love for this classic – you enjoyed twice as many as the next popular, the Diva.

But you do love a seasonal menu. Here’s your favorite from each season:

Winter: Brown Bear Latte

Spring: Oatmeal Cookie Latte

Summer: Cherry Limeade Twist

Autumn: Golden Hour Latte

Holidays: Candy Cane Mocha

A new Winter Menu drops January 6th!

We can’t believe you’re here, all 35,114 of you!

The Eli’s Rewards program has grown like crazy this year. Y’all love a freebie, and we love rewarding you! Still haven’t joined?

You’re creatures of habit: 99% of you are loyal to your regular shop.

I mean, I get it. Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name… 🎵

You’re a bunch of early birds.

More than 40% of you come before 10am, and our busiest hour is 9-10am!

Looking for a more laid-back environment? Visit our shops after 1pm to have your choice of the best seats and more time to chat with your barista!

That tracks, because you love an Eli’s breakfast.

You enjoyed 11,637 breakfast sandwiches this year. A sausage breakfast biscuit is your go-to.

Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits always hit the spot though – they come in a respectable third place after both biscuit breakfast sandwiches.

Together, we blessed and left behind:

  • Cranberry Orange Scones on the permanent menu
  • Berry Zen Parfaits
  • Melon Mint Twists
  • Several grab-and-go deli items

So we could say hello to:

  • Blueberry Lemon Scones on the permanent menu
  • Eggies for a wheat-free breakfast
  • Seasonal sandwiches – looking at you, Greenhouse Ciabatta + Orchard Panini
  • Matcha on the menu year-round
  • Even more in 2026!

It’s been a whirlwind of a year.

But there’s nowhere we’d rather call home. Central Illinois, thanks for another incredible year of growth, change, new friendships, and so much good coffee. Cheers to an exciting 2026!
