23 Best Coffee Shops in Cedar Rapids

“We love our weekend trips to Kismet! They always have creative and tasty specials, as well as beautiful flower arrangements to look at while you wait. Literally the best espresso in Cedar Rapids and the friendliest people. We recommend Kismet to everybody we can!“

“It is a must go if you are looking for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Easy to order in or to go. The daily bakery specials are to die for.“

“My mom and I enjoyed delicious mocktails, and great conversation in a warm, joyous atmosphere .. we highly recommend Craft’d After Dark!“

“Love this coffee shop! The beverages are outstanding and the food is delicious! My new favorite spot!“

“I totally screwed up my own smoothie order today and they were nothing but kind and totally fixed it for me. And only after I left did I realize I had not tipped them either!! I AM SO SORRY! Big fail on my part! TOTAL AWESOMENESS ON THEIRS!!!“

“Always friendly, quick service- but I never feel rushed. I appreciate that they take my phone number for the points system right at the start instead of trying to handle it at the window like other places (where it could be forgotten). I know I'm getting my points every time which I greatly appreciate.

I tried the cinnamon sugar mocha- did not disappoint- and my tried-and-true sausage, egg, and cheddar biscuit. Both were delicious as expected and definitely helped me get some fuel in my belly on the go! Highly recommend this location and their products! :)“

“Just started using local roasted coffee beans for our daily coffee at home. Dash was the first one my husband and I tried. It was absolutely amazing. Just a warning, we went from drinking one cup of coffee and being happy to needing that second cup because it just tasted so smooth.“

“Busy coffeehouse during the farmers market but I have to love that they have a full menu including chi latte and matcha that I haven’t seen available at any booth. A neighbor walking by asked where I got my match and luckily they had a huge coffee fly guy so I could easily point them out. It was worth the short wait on a very busy market day! Thank you for being open and serving up great hot and iced matcha with real honey.“

“Delicious quality coffee!!“

“Best coffeeshop in CR!“

“If you haven’t tried Tiffy Jo’s chili yet, you’re seriously missing out. It’s thick, hearty, and packed with flavor — just the right kick without being too spicy. You can taste that it’s made with love, not out of a can! Perfect for game days, cold nights, or honestly any day you’re craving some good comfort food. Every bite has that homemade touch that makes you want to go back for another bowl. Hands down, the best chili around. Way to go, Tiffy Jo — you nailed it!“

“after finding me in the dumpster, instead of being afraid or warning me off the manager actually asked me if I needed something to eat. I was treated to an ever bowl and it was amazing. absolutely delicious. being a vegetarian, and not a very good one I don't really get nutrition like I should. Both workers were absolutely amazing, cheerful and had a wonderful attitude towards their fellow human being. I recommend this place greatly. thank you so much for the new food experience.“

“Super friendly Staff! Lots of smiles! Always freaky fast ♥️♥️“

“The morning barista is amazing and extremely friendly. I've only been to this location a few times and she knows my order already (and my variations). It's inside the Hy-Vee so it's fast and easy to get to, with ample parking.“

“Awesome cappuccino!! Nice staff. Love the fireplace on a cold day“

“Great food at a fare price“

“This Tea shop is fantastic. I especially like the sweet chocolate milk tea. Friendly service and an all around great atmosphere. Love It!“

“These people are THE BEST and the bread is freaking AMAZING! They also give back to the community and support local.“

“The chicken salad sandwich is the best I have ever had. Everyone who has tried it, loves it and talks about it.“

“if ur looking for an internet cafe this is a good place for gamers, free internet, lots of receptacles to charge your stuff, and laundy room next door if u got stains. lots of seats & tables if u wanna doomscroll reddit or linkedin due to the tech market collapse. only downside is they were playing The Weeknd Starboy, a song about lucifer.“

“A great pick me up with awesome service!“

“I just dropped in to Cedar Rapids Nutrition to ask for a piece of tape (different story 😊). The associate was so friendly and helpful that I turned around and went right back in. First of all, it smells wonderful in this little shop - It’s also warm, inviting, clean and comfortable! The menu boards are perfect - easy to read and understand all their choices for teas, coffees and shakes! The little seating area has a comfy couch for those that choose to dine in. I love the beautiful Christmas tree.
I asked a few questions about the teas and for a recommendation and decided on a protein shake. I love chocolate and caramel and enjoyed every drop of my chocolate salted caramel shake! Thank you and I’ll be back!

Parking: Found a spot just outside.

Kid-friendliness: The associate was very helpful and answered all my questions about their options. They have options without the energy boost for kids!“

“Great customer service! Came home to immediately write a review.😊 The girls working followed my drink order to the T and even made sure my cup wasn’t sticky afterwords! Late Friday night and they’re still giving their best energy and service! Super grateful to you!!!“
