Great staff . I was given a free drink for having to wait a few extra minutes. Didn't even have to complain.

Kate Krohn

Dudes, you can totally remove your coffee from the brew bar yourselves. Room is a personal choice. :) thanks for helping out your busy, beautiful, and caffeine anxiety plagued baristas.

Laura

Iced chai tea is amazeballs! Have any tossed salad - its all great! I had shrimp w/ black bean & other veggies & a lil bit of naughty (but fabulous) blue cheese :o)

Megan P.

Great place to grab a coffee or cappuccino before hitting the road after a good weekend in Iowa City.

Patrick Hogan

If you're there to do schoolwork, please be mindful of folks just there enjoying a cup of coffee . If you're there to enjoy a cup of coffee , please be mindful of those doing schoolwork.

Michael Bennitt

Excellent coffees and atmosphere. I always stop in when passing through town

Kate Krohn

Lids and straws are to the left of the drink window by the espresso machine. If you order something espresso based or cold; that is the pick up point.

Jeiran Hasan

I hear, IC takes place here occasionally. Nice to grab a cup of joe and listen to local musicians .

Paul Cox

Best overall coffee pace in a city of great coffee places . Been coming here for years & never has something I didn't like.

Kate Ann

one of the few places in iowa city with really comfy seating for hanging out

Lindsey Winders

i can appreciate being courteous of others wanting tables, etc, however during finals week I feel that the one-hour table limit is blasphemy! literally was hounded by the manager 4 times. rude&unfair

Brendan Griffin

MY WIFE CAUGHT FIRE HERE. I ASSUME IT WAS BECAUSE SHE IS THE DEVIL.

Joe Schueller

Best coffee in Iowa City, hands down. My favorite drink is definitely a fresh drip-brewed Steamboat Bill.

Lily Grace

The best coffee shop atmosphere in Iowa city. Bring a good book and curl up in one of the comfy couches .

Markus Tarjamo

Great coffee and pastries ! Clean restrooms and very trendy .

Jim Ellis

A great Americano . Was intrigued by the Cuban macchiato . Looking forward to stopping here again. www.AwakeMySole.com

Ali Al Saeed

The delicious lemon berry danish goes perfectly with a cup of cappuccino

P De la Cruz

I’m addicted to their chocolate chai tea and I cannot recommend it enough

Sarah

Whether you're in for a breakfast pick-me-up or a nighttime gathering, drink a Nutty Caramel Coffee . Extra incentive to go in after dark: pastries are 1/2 price after 8:00!

Austin Westermann

Get the sugar cookie llaté. The atmosphere is super cool

Alex Shockey

Get the German Chocolate Mocha . Hot or Iced it's excellent. Also, if you're looking for a pastry , the cappuccino brownie and cinnamon roll are delicious

Drew Holtwick

Drip-bar is neat, with numbered "lanes." It's a huge place, w/ sandwhich place and more seating attached.

Off The Quad

Friendly barista’s , treats and great coffee . Great atmosphere to get that paper done, so stop procrastinating.

Jason Stirnaman

Great Americanos . Great pour-over.

Ali Al Saeed

Try their American Gothic blend. Strong stuff!

DPVA

Hot Chai Tea -- the spicy one!

Paul Grimyser

Great coffee , but only comes in one size...

Sheila S

If you're sticking around, help reduce waste by asking for your drink "for here," in a reusable mug or glass.

Reid Travis

Especially great in the summer when students vacate the area. Tables galore!

Craig Slifer

Great coffee and frappes (white carmel mocha )

Jason Reeves

Amazing tea and coffee drip brewed by the cup!

Amanda Saxton

Everything!!!!!

Gregory Johnson

Try the German Chocolate Cafe Mocha . It's delicious.

Jordan Buettner

If you want your drink in a togo cup, just say that. Not "here, but in a togo cup". The baristas need to know what cup, not your location.

Adam Zabner

XX Macchiato is fantastic

Alexandra Michelle

So many available electrical outlets ????

Drew Van Woert ????

They have Meth lab equipment here.

Luke Passow

One dollar organic fair trade coffee until April 24! Also, check out the new blueberry drinks!

Christopher Knowles

I tried to leave flyers here for an event & they were total Nazis about it. I guess they would have interfered with all the hipsters conspicuously ignoring each other. Even Starbucks was cool with it!

Drew Bielinski

Three words: Banana Chocolate Muffin

Paul Cox

Order a double cappuccino , and sit in one of the soft, comfy chairs to drink it.

Sean Webber

Order the "All-Nighter," 5 shots of espresso . Gotta luv the jitters.

Jenny Arnold

Loved this place for years.

Katie

their iced masala chai is decadent.

Charles Beebe II

If your looking for a good pull of espresso don't come here.

Chris Trew

My friend Java actually lives here though he is not affiliated with the place.

Eva Hall

Lemon poppyseed muffin . Order it.

Brandon Drayer

Watch out for the cinnamon rolls ! Extremely addictive!!!

Kate Krohn

1$ panama drip coffees today and tomorrow!

Kate Krohn

$1 conversation brews all day Tuesday September 13th!
