Fuel for the Quad Cities

Your Favorite Coffee, Ready When You Are

QC Fuel makes it easy to get handcrafted drinks, quick bites, and local flavor right when you need it.

Our Story

More than Coffee. Its Community

QC Fuel was a local favorite for years, until a quiet closure in 2024 left the Quad Cities without their go-to coffee stop. Mitch and Dara Dietrich, longtime locals, stepped in to bring it back.

In August 2025, they reopened QC Fuel with a new location, fresh energy, and a mission: bring consistency, connection, and community into every visit. From reliable hours to friendly faces, QC Fuel is here to fuel more than just your morning.

This coffee shop is such a hidden gem! The pastries alone are worth the drive—fresh, delicious, and seriously the best I’ve had. Their energy drinks were also amazing, so flavorful and refreshing. On top of that, the atmosphere was such a vibe—cozy, welcoming, and perfect for hanging out or just enjoying some “me time.” Can’t wait to come back!

I’ve tried a little bit of everything here and it’s been consistently excellent. The cotton candy cream was super fun, I’ve sampled a bunch of their drinks, and most energy drinks I’ve had has been great (Not necessarily my go to though). Their coffees are solid across the board, but the standout for me is the Banana Chip Frappe. It’s easily my favorite. On the food side, the chocolate croissant is really good, but the Pumpkin Cheesecake Poptart was on another level. Seriously incredible. QC Fuel has completely replaced Starbucks for me. The drinks taste better, the food is better, and the whole experience just feels more personal. Highly recommend.
