32 Best Coffee Shops near Fairfax

“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!“

“My wife and I visited here every day we were in Cedar Rapids. The coffee, food, and unhurriedness of the café prompted happy memories of visits to cafés in Europe.“

“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!“

“Má ơi, ngon quá. This sandwich shop serves the most authentic Vietnamese Bánh mì in the area. I’ve tried many places from Iowa City - Hiawatha. This shop is the best from taste to price compared to the others. I recommend getting the #1 Bánh mì đặc biệt / specialty, and wash it down with a cafe sữa đá / Vietnamese Ice Coffee. The shop also offers an array of various drinks if coffee isn’t your thing. I highly recommend anyone to stop in for a good lunch. Sandwich and drink here taste better, more filling, and priced better than going to a place like Subway.“

“My family met for lunch there. Wonderful food, delicious drinks and very friendly staff members. I highly recommend it!“

“Delicious quality coffee!!“

“Just started using local roasted coffee beans for our daily coffee at home. Dash was the first one my husband and I tried. It was absolutely amazing. Just a warning, we went from drinking one cup of coffee and being happy to needing that second cup because it just tasted so smooth.“

“Always friendly, quick service- but I never feel rushed. I appreciate that they take my phone number for the points system right at the start instead of trying to handle it at the window like other places (where it could be forgotten). I know I'm getting my points every time which I greatly appreciate.

I tried the cinnamon sugar mocha- did not disappoint- and my tried-and-true sausage, egg, and cheddar biscuit. Both were delicious as expected and definitely helped me get some fuel in my belly on the go! Highly recommend this location and their products! :)“

“The chicken salad sandwich is the best I have ever had. Everyone who has tried it, loves it and talks about it.“

“First time visit was prompt, friendly, tasty, and priced well. Amber was attentive, the decor was charming and fresh, and the portions were enough to take back for lunch.“

“Love this coffee shop! The beverages are outstanding and the food is delicious! My new favorite spot!“

“This Tea shop is fantastic. I especially like the sweet chocolate milk tea. Friendly service and an all around great atmosphere. Love It!“

“My first visit to this Starbuck's. I am not a big fan of their drinks except for a couple seasonal ones. I got a small or short Veranda coffee which I have purchased instant of & theirs was much too strong for my tastes & overpriced for the size ($3.75). I ended up adding 9 sugars after having them dilute it. The sandwiches I learned were not freshly made there but come frozen which was disappointing. The top of the bun wouldn't tear for me so had to eat it without ($4.95). The service was exceptional & extremely helpful. It's a large place & they have space for groups. It was clean & has some seating outdoors. I liked the place. I hope to try a cold drink there next time. I'll skip the muffin sandwich.“

“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.“

“Thank you for keeping the standard half and half on hand for my coffee!! All other scooters seem to have switched to the shelf stable half and half that gets chunky in the coffee and tastes weird. I am so thankful to live so close to a place where i can rely on a consistent and delicious cup of coffee!! Helps me get a great start to each day!“

“The baristas were incredibly helpful in ensuring we found the right beans for our home espresso machine.“

“Best coffeeshop in CR!“

“Edelweiss has great selection, great quality, and very friendly people. 10/10 recommend!“

“Great service & delicious food & drinks!“

“I totally screwed up my own smoothie order today and they were nothing but kind and totally fixed it for me. And only after I left did I realize I had not tipped them either!! I AM SO SORRY! Big fail on my part! TOTAL AWESOMENESS ON THEIRS!!!“

“I was having a bit of a rough morning and wandered into Coffee Republic. I asked for a chai recommendation and the service was fantastic (as was the chai). They have little chairs with umbrellas outside, so I sat outside with my delicious beverage and just enjoyed the sunshine for a bit. They even checked on me to make sure I liked the recommendation. I'm not downtown often, but this would be worth making the trip.“

“My 1st visit was great. the potato salad was delicious. Loosie with the works is exactly what I needed.“

“We come to this beautiful little general store monthly. We always make sure to stop downstairs and pick up several bags of our favorite coffees. The upstairs is a beautiful place to wander around and pick up some great Amana jelly's jams and preserves.“

“I just dropped in to Cedar Rapids Nutrition to ask for a piece of tape (different story 😊). The associate was so friendly and helpful that I turned around and went right back in. First of all, it smells wonderful in this little shop - It’s also warm, inviting, clean and comfortable! The menu boards are perfect - easy to read and understand all their choices for teas, coffees and shakes! The little seating area has a comfy couch for those that choose to dine in. I love the beautiful Christmas tree.
I asked a few questions about the teas and for a recommendation and decided on a protein shake. I love chocolate and caramel and enjoyed every drop of my chocolate salted caramel shake! Thank you and I’ll be back!

Parking: Found a spot just outside.

Kid-friendliness: The associate was very helpful and answered all my questions about their options. They have options without the energy boost for kids!“

“When you are a regular, as I am, you are loved and treated with nothing but respect. Sure, there's usually a wait, and long drive thru times but... Why do you think that is? Because it's worth it. Cannot say enough good about the management and staff at this location. #fantastic“
