Barrett's Quality Eats

Overpriced food that isn’t that great. Service isn’t the best either.

Love this place!!

I was passing through Coralville on a cross country move and grabbing coffee in the morning, and the employees were so kind. A manager (or maybe owner) overheard me chatting about my travels and she gave me some free goodies for the drive which was so sweet! The coffee was excellent, as was the pastries and granola. I’d highly recommend visiting this gem!

Barrett's catered our wedding in Dubuque and did an AMAZING job. Amelia, their Event Coordinator, was a pleasure to work with -- she's polite, responsive, accommodating, and professional. The food was great, and the positive reviews from guests poured in after the wedding (esp. for the lemonade and hamburgers). Their catering staff were kind and left the kitchen facilities at the venue spotless post-event. 100% would recommend Barrett's to anyone looking for a wedding or event caterer.

Barrett's is such an unexpected surprise. Fast and friendly service. Delicious and nutritious food. I had the Denver Omelet without the ham—fresh and flavorful. I ordered an espresso latte. It was amazing and comparable to a high-end coffee shop. Thanks for creating such an inspiring experience!

We normally have the best time here but this morning was different. The workers were extremely upset with the level of people in the building. One girl making coffee was arguing with customers and employees. The girl who packaged our food was upset with everyone around her. It was just a lot. Food was great as always.

Absolutely fabulous. Great selection, lovely ambiance and truly midwestern friendly. The baked goods are wonderful, great choices, great tastes. The food menu and drink choices make Barrett’s a really nice place for a range of palates and desires. This visit was my time with a friend and we enjoyed everything. It is the beginning of a long term relationship. We even chatted about food, restaurants, menus and things we like to eat. Really all around nice experience. Top spot for sure!!

We stopped in for drinks and were absolutely blown away—not just by how good everything was, but by how incredibly kind and welcoming the staff were. This is the kind of place that reminds you why supporting local businesses matters. Everyone we interacted with was so genuine and friendly, it honestly made our day. We’ll be back, and we’ll be telling everyone we know to stop by. Thank you for being such wonderful humans and creating such a great space! (jack and amelia both amazing)
