“the food and atmosphere is great. The owner is very nice.”

“A great little specialty drink shop. The atmosphere is very “zen”. The lemonade refresher was amazing and the owners were very helpful. Sounds like plans to expand are in the works. Can’t wait to see what the future holds. In the meantime, go grab some coffee, tea, lemonade or check out their other offerings!”

“This place is a hidden gem! The building is about 150 years old, but the inside is updated and clean. The menu said that the building once housed a saloon and hotel. I had a turkey Reuben and fries that were tasty and reasonably priced. They were selling a lot of pizzas that looked good- maybe next time. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. We watched a football game while we ate. I would feel comfortable bringing kids here with me.”

“So good. Great BBQ sauces to choose from!”

“They made my day today when I ordered pho because I’m sick & they even left me a little note saying “hope you feel better” 🤍 Their food is top tier & always makes me feel 10x better when I’m sick. Thank you for the kindness and taking two seconds out of your day to make someone’s day 🥹”

“We love our weekend trips to Kismet! They always have creative and tasty specials, as well as beautiful flower arrangements to look at while you wait. Literally the best espresso in Cedar Rapids and the friendliest people. We recommend Kismet to everybody we can!”

“Terrible experience, very disappointed with our visit today. We talked about going there all weekend because we enjoy the 86. Drove over an hour to get there by four today because they were closing early. The girl at the front was very sweet. We were very excited to be there and told her it was our first time there. She said we could sit down and order or go to the bar. We sat down and several servers looked at us, but no one waited on us. We went to the bar and said we had never been there before. A guy said there is a menu on the counter but I'll be over there cleaning, let me know what you want and walked away. We had no idea what we were doing since it was our first time there. I wanted to try wines and my husband whiskey, but not if no one wanted to wait on us. So, we looked at each other and decided to leave. Once in the parking lot I realized it was a long way home and I should use the restroom first. So, I went back in, and I told the girl behind the counter we were leaving because no one waited on us, but I needed to use the restroom first. When I came out of the restroom she said to enjoy the rest of our day. Would have had a better day if we could have tried something... Went from very excited to be there to can't wait to leave...”

“So much bang for your buck! Absolutely delicious, Portions are perfect (enough for next day lunch) My families favorite grab and go meals. Always done fast, And fresh.”

“Crumbl Cookie never disappoints. Warm, fresh cookies with creative flavors that rotate weekly. Everything was soft, flavorful, and perfectly baked. Definitely a treat worth the visit.”

“From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The space is absolutely beautiful—modern, elegant, and welcoming. But what really made it special was the incredible team behind it all. The staff -especially Melissa-at The Hotel at Kirkwood went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless—from the setup to the food to the flow of the evening. Our guests were raving about the venue, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a wedding location that combines style, comfort, and top-notch service, we can't recommend The Hotel at Kirkwood enough!”

“If you haven’t tried Tiffy Jo’s chili yet, you’re seriously missing out. It’s thick, hearty, and packed with flavor — just the right kick without being too spicy. You can taste that it’s made with love, not out of a can! Perfect for game days, cold nights, or honestly any day you’re craving some good comfort food. Every bite has that homemade touch that makes you want to go back for another bowl. Hands down, the best chili around. Way to go, Tiffy Jo — you nailed it!”

“I love this place so much. So much I’m putting this place and my favorite server in my novels. The family is so sweet and kind, good is really good and at a good price. A true gem.”

“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.”
