Vegetarian options: Tomato stuffed with tuna salad. Veggie sandwiches, wraps both flavored or lettuce. Great salad choices and plenty of side dishes to choose from. Is ice cream vegetarian? YES!!!

I went in to try the food and ice cream my coworkers have told be me about. I spoke and asked the ladies if a bathroom was there. One immediately said NO! and walked off. I was thinking ok, let me hurry up and order so i can get to a bathroom somewhere downtown, as i approach the counter to the left is a Mens and womens restroom. These people are prejudice and i wouldnt reccomend anyone with a darker shade to enter their establishment. really hurt my feelings because i was excited to see what the hype was about

The ice cream is good, but for $4.50 you should get more than a half of scoop. Went up to a double and it still barely looked like a single every other place I have gone

Debs has the best panini in town hands down!

My son/11 yr old and I have been coming in once a week for the last month or so. He orders the same thing every time. Cookie monster with banana cream ice cream. Basically an ice cream sandwich with cookies. I make him order so he can practice his public speaking. Never been an issue and service great up until this point. Today Deb waited on us. She had no clue what he even ordered even though the sign for it was right in front of her. She then gets really short and then asks me what his order is. I repeated it. She then stomps across the store and comes back with the 2 cookies and proceeds to tell me this isn't on the menu. Again... it's literally right infront of her on a stand. Have had no problems before from the other nice lady who has served us before. She amazing. Given the way Deb spoke to us, today was our last visit. I'm sure she won't miss our $4. Shocked a business owner would treat a customer this way. And an 11 yr old at that.

Ice cream was good Service was Absolutely horrible. Lady needs a course in customer service!!
The waffle cones are amazing.. the peanut butter ice was great it was named like iffy jiffy or something.. and the mint chocolate chip was yummy too .

I was walking around Downtown Cedar Rapids on a cold drizzly day looking for a warm lunch. After about 20 minutes nothing that was listed on Yelp looked inviting until I passed by Debs. It wasn't until my second pass that I decided to give it a go. My recommendation is come on in!! Special was homemade spaghetti with garlic bread. Yummy!!! It hit the spot just like moms. The iced tea was perfect. Very clean place. Nice Midwest hospitality from the two woman working there. It's like having lunch at mom or grandmas. I'll come back again. Nice little hidden gem.

Very cute deli in the downtown Cedar Rapids area. They have very delicious sandwiches and serve ice cream as well. It was my first time going and it was a delightful time. They were playing groovy 60s 70s music and it was like the universe knew ?? Definitely a recommendation if you want something different
