“Got the 10 tacos + chips/queso deal for taco Tuesday. Was shocked that every ingredient was individually packaged. So nice! I got half beef and half chicken. Both were phenomenal. What a great deal and absolutely delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is easily the best coffee/cafe here in Iowa. The food is always fresh and amazing. The lattes are consistently great. No burned shots. They make their vanilla and caramel for the lattes IN HOUSE. Don't pass up the vanilla latte! It's run by the sweetest family who are always positive as are their baristas. They'll take the time to explain anything about the menu, you never feel rushed. Please visit this shop and see for yourself. I'm picky and they have always accommodated. They have intolerance options too.“

“My wife and I visited here every day we were in Cedar Rapids. The coffee, food, and unhurriedness of the café prompted happy memories of visits to cafés in Europe.“

“Awesome staff person; We were grounded April 30, 2022, and the only thing open was this place, But your lady in charge kept the bar open and was serving chicken fingers, grilled cheese and fries to Hungry fliers asap along with her kitchen help, with a smile and speed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This young lady is a keeper whoever she is.!“

“This is my favorite Panera. Marriah at the cash register is always so friendly and attentive. My food is always hot and delicious. Best breakfast sandwich in town! I’ve tried them at the other paneras but they never are as good. Incredibly clean environment as well.“
