26 Best Coffee Shops in Cedar Rapids

“I’m only in CR on weekends and I visit whenever I’m able to, the atmosphere of the shop is incredible and kind. The workers are very friendly everytime and make engaging conversation. The flowers are beautiful and we ended up buying a small plant from upstairs and we love it :)“

“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!“

“Nothing finer then Tiffy Jos diner on a Sunday morn“

“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.“

“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.“

“I haven't wanted a blended coffee drink in 15 years but today was the day! Glad I drove the 3 miles to Caribou. It was super fast, the gal that took my order was really helpful, and it absolutely hit the spot. SO good! Really, their coffee has the best flavor of all the chain coffee shops.“

“7 Brew has become one of my favorite drink stops. While their coffee itself is solid and leans toward the familiar, big-brand coffee experience, what really sets them apart is their incredible variety of drink options and customization choices.

Their menu goes far beyond coffee, offering countless ways to create unique energy drinks, teas, lemonades, sodas, and other specialty beverages. If you're someone who likes trying new flavor combinations or building a drink that's completely your own, this is where 7 Brew truly shines.

The staff are consistently wonderful, friendly, and energetic. Every visit feels welcoming, and they always seem genuinely happy to help with recommendations or custom creations. Their positive attitude and customer service make the experience just as enjoyable as the drinks themselves.

If you're looking for more than just a standard coffee shop, 7 Brew is definitely worth a visit.“

“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!!!“

“Delicious quality coffee!!“

“I got the Ube Matcha and Thai Tea. Both delicious!“

“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.“

“Best coffeeshop in CR!“

“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!“

“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.“
