“There are coffee shops — and then there is Jumble Coffee. In a world where convenience often overshadows craftsmanship, Jumble Coffee stands as a testament to what happens when passion, personality, and precision are poured into every cup. What keeps me coming back time and time again are the hand-crafted drinks. These aren’t rushed, assembly-line lattes. They are carefully built, thoughtfully balanced creations — what I affectionately refer to as “rocket fuel” — capable of launching even the sleepiest morning into full orbit. Whether you’re a classic drip coffee purist or someone chasing bold, inventive flavor combinations, their extensive drink menu ensures there’s something to fit the moment. But Jumble isn’t just about what’s in the cup. Their breakfast and snack offerings round out the experience beautifully, making it just as suitable for a quick bite as it is for a lingering morning reset. The menu is broad without being overwhelming — a rare balance that shows intentional curation rather than clutter. And then there’s the heartbeat of the place: the staff. The team at Jumble Coffee elevates the entire experience. The ladies behind the counter are absolutely amazing — warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to strike up a conversation while you wait. It’s the kind of authentic interaction that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a regular, even on your first visit. If you stop by, ask for Megan or Tomi — though truthfully, you can’t go wrong with any of the wonderful and charming young women working there. Each one brings the same enthusiasm, kindness, and expertise to the counter. Feeling adventurous? Tell them “dealer’s choice.” They’ll either craft one of their personal favorites or ask a few simple questions about what you like (and don’t like) before working their magic like a well-oiled machine. The result is often something you didn’t know you needed until that first sip. Jumble Coffee isn’t just serving beverages — it’s cultivating connection, creativity, and community one hand-crafted cup at a time. Five stars, without hesitation.”

“This morning was my first time to La Venta Specialty Coffee, and I loved it! The atmosphere was great, the pastries and drinks were wonderful, and the owners are awesome human beings!! I would definitely recommend going here!”

“Delicious! Wonderful flavor, we've had breakfast and lunch here so far. Only complaint is they need a bigger location with more parking spots - good problem to have 😁”

“I love the Cold Brew with 4 shots of espresso. on cold days I get the Macchiato. Paul is a coffee ificianto. Great service. The best Coffee!! 100% recommended!”

“Delicious! I had the sweet n spicey fried chicken sandwich, crab Rangoon, and a raspberry mojito. The food was fresh and delicious, chicken was juicy with a crunchy crust, and drink was refreshing. Will definitely be going back!”

“Everything was awesome, from the iced drink to the carnitas!”

“If you’re looking for a bakery that delivers both creativity and incredible flavor, look no further than Candle Ready Cakes! We stopped in for their special April Fools treats today, and let me tell you—they absolutely nailed it. We tried the “reuben,” “chicken nuggets,” and “bagel,” and they looked exactly like the real thing. The attention to detail was unreal. Your brain is fully convinced you’re about to bite into corned beef, Swiss cheese, thousand island, sauerkraut, and rye bread… but then—surprise! It’s a delicious sweet treat instead. From the very first bite, my tastebuds were dancing and immediately wanted more. It’s not just the visual trickery—it’s the flavor that seals the deal. And of course, we couldn’t leave without grabbing their ever-popular cake balls, which (as always) did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and swing into Candle Ready Cakes any day of the week and grab a few boxes of cupcakes or treats. You’ll be hooked after one visit—I guarantee you’ll be coming back for more!”

“My husband and I stopped in at Lalo's after visiting the Museum and Aquarium. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I ordered mango margarita. The waiter was thoughtful enough to ask if I wanted sugar, salt, or tajin on the rim (tajin - of course!). We ordered and received the food quickly. I got the Mar y Tierra (Surf n Turf) and my husband got the Chile Colorado. Both were absolutely delicious and more than we could eat in one sitting. Could not ask for more. Definitely recommend this place!”

“Always love getting my drinks here🤍”

“Thank you Ben for the excellent service!! We had the pork cheek app,and we both had the fried chicken. Both were done extremely well. The chicken was moist, tender and crispy. 4 portions of chicken on each plate with a very well made and generous corn bread. Again thank you Ben and the staff for the wonderful service”

“We came in town for a weekend getaway and found this place after being told a couple other restaurants were on a wait. And I am glad we did...Great food, great drinks, and the service was perfect! highly recommended!”

“Yummy gluten-free arepitas and empanadas, and delicious coffee with warm hospitality, and welcoming patio seating!!”

“The food and service was great. And they have Gluten free options.”

“Cool place! Good food. Everyone was so nice.”

“The food is delicious, service is great, portions are big! Love this place.”

“My friends and I recently rented the igloo at Dark Bird Tap House. It was great fun! The igloo was nicely decorated and even included winter theme blankets! The igloo was warm and very comfortable. The service couldn’t have been better!!! And the food - large quantity and delicious quality! My friends and I will definitely be returning to this terrific place!!! Five Stars!!”

“I was greeted with a smile and a friendly “good morning” on entering Jitterz. The place is warm and comfortable, and the service is excellent. The delicious fresh pastries and coffee turned it into a great morning.”

“Diamond in the ruff. This place is off the beaten path a bit, but it's so worth it. Great service atmosphere and food. They even have little apartment rentals on the marina. We had a great time! The steak and mashed potatoes are out of this world. The Smash burgers are pretty good too! We had their donuts and ice cream for dessert. So good! They had someone that was singing and playing the guitar and she had a soothing good voice.”

“I've never been a barfly. Nothing against those who are, but it's not my style. I like a place where I can sip or swill good drink and have a good conversation and a few laughs with good company, whether friends or strangers, without having to scream myself hoarse to be heard. EJ's is like an evening coffee shop that way: good beer, wine, and cocktail offerings, and a few small snacks, all well-curated. Quiet, friendly vibe, like you'd find in any European outdoor bar or cafe. The one time I ever heard of a troglodyte trying to start something, the owner handled him with decisive authority and ejected him, protecting his customers and the vibe. A German friend was in town recently, and was blown away by seeing on the shelf a Munich beer from his neighborhood that had just started production maybe a year prior. This is the Goldilocks of wine/beer/cocktail bars: no snootiness, no boorishness. Just good folks serving good drinks like they know what they're doing. Dubuque's Millwork District is lucky to have them.”

“Great food and great service! Our waitress was very friendly! Be prepared to wait for your food a little bit, but it is worth it! Generous portions and everything was fresh.”

“What an amazing local place to visit. With all the changes in life, it is wonderful to know that this place is still fantastic. The food is fresh and made with love. The staff was so friendly without being overbearing. The restaurant itself has a home filled atmosphere.”

“Got a take and bake taco from them to take to Michigan! They put all the toppings in separate bags!!! We got it there safe and sound! Baking it was Sooo easy! Even fun popping the crust down!!! It was probably the Best one We’ve ever had! Thanks Happy Joes!!!”

“Outstanding quality, service, friendliness. A very cool hipster beverage establishment…!”

“Great evening at Jubeck New World Brewing!”

“I was looking for a place to easily accommodate my group of 14 for lunch on a Saturday. With short notice they got us set up in the back room, Melissa delivered perfect service, all 14 meals came out at once, all the food was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I've driven past this place a thousand times and never gave it a thought. Now I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal and friendly staff. Thank you Rhody's. You were yet another part of a memorable weekend.”

“Fantastic! The owners are very knowledgeable and extremely friendly!!”

“Paul's unquestionably has one of the best traditional style burgers I have ever, or will ever, have. At 44 years old I've tasted my fair share of burgers all across the good ol' US of A - and Paul's stands out. There is absolute magic in that little burger cooker of theirs. I don't know who created that magical machine - but they certainly sold their soul for it. Seriously - the burger is THAT good. So mesmerizingly good that around 20 years ago, I stopped by at closing time just after they shut the cooker down for the night - and offered the bartender with a crisp $100 bill for two burgers (in today's dollars what is that - $250 probably?!). Alcohol may have been involved in that decision - but I stand by it - those burgers are THAT good (boo to the bartender who turned down the offer too!).

The tavern itself isn't too bad either!”

“Amazing food! Service at this location is fantastic and they are pretty quick for the most part. We are lucky to have such a good Chick-Fil-A here in town. The sandwiches are good even at the Saints Hockey games. I’m usually never disappointed here. Got it twice today and both times were superb!”

“Amazing food and amazing price! Great customer service! Great start to our spontaneous trip!”

“Such a fun place. Small Town bar feel where the bartenders treat you like regulars even if it's your first time in. Best bone in wings I've ever had, their house made sauces are fantastic. All of the food is delicious!!”
