“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.“

“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!“

“I have been going to Daily Grind since they opened last year. I love their convenient location and ample parking. Their breakfast pizza is amazing! And, their latte’s, matcha’s, and chai drinks are delicious!! The baristas are always friendly and always helpful in making a drink selection. Highly recommend!!!“

“Found them on TikTok and they didn’t have nearly as many followers as they deserved. I got the smores cold brew, my wife drank it in a minute it was so good! I also got the sausage croissant and it was by far the BEST croissant sandwich I have EVER had! I will be going here regularly from now on!!!“

“There are coffee shops — and then there is Jumble Coffee. In a world where convenience often overshadows craftsmanship, Jumble Coffee stands as a testament to what happens when passion, personality, and precision are poured into every cup. What keeps me coming back time and time again are the hand-crafted drinks. These aren’t rushed, assembly-line lattes. They are carefully built, thoughtfully balanced creations — what I affectionately refer to as “rocket fuel” — capable of launching even the sleepiest morning into full orbit. Whether you’re a classic drip coffee purist or someone chasing bold, inventive flavor combinations, their extensive drink menu ensures there’s something to fit the moment. But Jumble isn’t just about what’s in the cup. Their breakfast and snack offerings round out the experience beautifully, making it just as suitable for a quick bite as it is for a lingering morning reset. The menu is broad without being overwhelming — a rare balance that shows intentional curation rather than clutter. And then there’s the heartbeat of the place: the staff. The team at Jumble Coffee elevates the entire experience. The ladies behind the counter are absolutely amazing — warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to strike up a conversation while you wait. It’s the kind of authentic interaction that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a regular, even on your first visit. If you stop by, ask for Megan or Tomi — though truthfully, you can’t go wrong with any of the wonderful and charming young women working there. Each one brings the same enthusiasm, kindness, and expertise to the counter. Feeling adventurous? Tell them “dealer’s choice.” They’ll either craft one of their personal favorites or ask a few simple questions about what you like (and don’t like) before working their magic like a well-oiled machine. The result is often something you didn’t know you needed until that first sip. Jumble Coffee isn’t just serving beverages — it’s cultivating connection, creativity, and community one hand-crafted cup at a time. Five stars, without hesitation.“

“Highly recommend!! Cozy and warm coffee shop. Nicki was helpful when I struggled to pick what I wanted, ended up going with something along the lines of a “peppermint mocha, but do whatever I trust you”…and she did not disappoint!!! Great offering on food as well, had a muffin and it was delicious! Great experience looking forward to next time!“

“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!“

“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“

“Delicious drinks, friendly service“

“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! ☕“

“I love Starbucks! However that is not the reason why im writing this review. There was an employee that was very kind and especially informative on the drinks from the most popular, to her personal favorites. Very kind and easy to talk to. She had dark hair and nose piercings. I believe her name was Chloe.“

“Love this place! Great coffee and everyone is so nice!“

“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!“

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

“The service is excellent and the baristas treat me like family. Always a consistant, super tasty black and white mocha frappe!“

“Great service, and beautiful friendly staff of ladies. Even though they were short staffed they were moving and communicating with one another as well as guests politely and efficiently. Clean store. Definitely be polite, and patient when going in, as we should be anyway in the world.
Didn't get food so no comment“

“Little biased as I live on this side of Dubuque but the staff is always so nice and fast. Chill atmosphere to study or read, or have girls coffee. My kids love getting a treat and the staff is so patient and encouraging to them when they order and pay.“
