“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stopped by Jitters Cafe in Dubuque and had an awesome experience. I grabbed a couple specialty coffees for my sister and my niece (who just found out she’s pregnant), and everything was perfect. I grabbed some to-go specialty macchiatos which were made exactly right — smooth, flavorful, and not over-sweet.
The service was fast, friendly, and full of smiles, and the atmosphere is really cool too: contemporary, clean, and just a nice place to be. Definitely coming back.“

“Outstanding quality, service, friendliness. A very cool hipster beverage establishment…!“

“the absolute highlight of my trip! they have alternative milk options and the coffee tasted great. fast, excellent service, too.“

“Bob & Lou’s is hands down my favorite place to get a coffee (or a lemonade, or a chai, or a matcha!). In all my trips to Bob & Lou’s, I’ve never had a bad experience with an employee or a bad drink. The employees are even sweeter than the coffee! It’s so nice to support a small business that cares about its customers and it’s product! P.S. I totally recommend experimenting with their menu—I get something different every time and it’s always tasty!“

“So friendly and welcoming and the drinks are the best!“

“Their fall drinks are amazing! Such a cute coffee shop and definitely very popular!“

“Everything, and I mean everything, has been SO wonderfully delicious. Great changing menu of specialty drinks, lots of options, great pastries, and always friendly and helpful. My fave coffee place!“

“This walk up coffee chop has the smoothest coffee in town (in my humble opinion)! Although it’s not on her board yet, the Coffee Chop absolutely has the LARGEST variety of sugar free flavors! I don’t know the exact number (I’m guessing well over a dozen). Tammy and Maddy can make almost anything you want sugar free! Not to mention, I believe this may be the only place in town where you can get a 24 ounce hot drink. It’s the perfect grab n go place to stop at and they’re FAST so don’t let a line deter you from waiting!“

“Wonderful every time!! New favorites are the PB banana protein smoothies and their pumpkin bars“

“I heard about Inspire Cafe from my Yoga instructor - I think. Loving grlled cheese sandwiches I had the Grown Up Grilled Cheese. It did not disappoint Basic and tasty. Will be back to try other entrées“

“We enjoyed our breakfast here! We had a quinoa bowl and breakfast burrito which were delicious. My husband and I also shared a generous slice of bananas toaster French toast bread! We had a couple of lattes which were good too. I Appreciate their mission, space, and fresh ingredients!“

“These guys are amazing! While I’m a local coffee shop supporter, I’m also a caffeine addict like most other functional adults. So Starbucks and their absolutely marvelous staff are super hard to say no to especially since their mocha is so tasty and the girls and guys there rock! Keep up the great work guys! You are an amazing team of hard workers!“

“I'm glad I gave Starbucks a second chance. I love that the gals who have helped me have been quick to help recommend options when I'm not sure exactly what I want. I haven't been disappointed with anything. The blueberry muffins are amazing too!“

“Fantastic Starbucks location that is clean, maximizes its use of natural light, plenty of seating and very engaging team members.

My Shaken Oatmilk Espresso was top-tier!

This location has plenty of free parking in their parking lot.“

“Lynn, Luna, and the rest of the Monday morning crew have become an integral part of our grocery shopping routine! They’ve memorized our order and my toddler’s nickname (not hard because he likes to refer to himself in the third person, but appreciated all the same!) and we look forward to their warm welcome! Our chai is always delicious and sharing it is a cherished part of our shopping trip. Thanks for everything, ladies!“

“Absolutely one of the best filled cupcakes we have in Dubuque!“

“We had an amazing visit and overview of Verena Street Coffee Roaster’s high-calibre facility. A renowned brand in Iowa and cherished across the Midwest — it’s clear why their coffee beans are top quality. The facility itself is fascinating, modern, and well-managed. A special thank you to Maegan, who guided us with so much knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm. She explained every detail clearly, shared valuable insights, and made the tour both engaging and memorable. Her hospitality truly enhanced our experience. As a coffee enthusiast currently on a fellowship in the U.S., this visit was incredibly inspiring and will be very helpful when I return to the Philippines. Thank you, Verena Street Coffee Roaster! ☕“

“The staff was super nice to me and my boss. They notice they made her drink to early and went up and ask her if she would like it remade. As a manager who deal in guest services, they did a phenomenal job and they all deserve a raise. Shout out to the whole crew here!!!!!“
