37 Best Coffee Shops near Fairfax

“Our drinks were amazing from here! You can tell how hard they work with all the customers in the store and it’s nice to see their friendly faces. 10/10 Recommend!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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! :)“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Delicious quality coffee!!“

“Many good experiences here so far. Customer service is just as on point as the kitchen. Service and kitchen is fast Specials are delicious. Many good options. Breakfast AND lunch served all day until close (I think 2pm)“

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

“Great service & delicious food & drinks!“

“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.“

“Best coffeeshop in CR!“

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

“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!“

“Awesome cappuccino!! Nice staff. Love the fireplace on a cold day“

“The morning barista is amazing and extremely friendly. I've only been to this location a few times and she knows my order already (and my variations). It's inside the Hy-Vee so it's fast and easy to get to, with ample parking.“

“I be getting my drink supa fast ^_^ i always get the chai :p employees r so nice and the chai so gooodddddddd 10/10 u shud go !!

Dietary restrictions: alt milks (almond, oat, coconut, skim)

Kid-friendliness: they have tons of kids options! smoothies, + kids combo!!

Wheelchair accessibility: there’s no stairs !! Totally flat ground :)“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“First timer. Tried the featured Teddy Graham as an iced to-go… absolutely phenomenal!!! 🤤👏🥰“

“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“

“My daughter and 18 of her friends wanted Starbucks for her birthday. We rode in a limo to Starbucks, parked and ordered 18 drinks. The staff there was AMAZING!! The girls were patient, kind & very efficient. Thank you ladies for your assistance.“

“The staff is nice and very friendly and so happy it’s back open!!“

“There are some great young staff members at this location. The only thing that I would recommend is that they not close up too early. I showed up around 7:15PM on a Monday and they closed at 8:00. I asked for a drink and a couple of pumpkin loaves warmed. The girl proceeded to tell me that she had already cleaned and shut down the microwave so basically I was out of luck. Lol, she was young and likely inexperienced so I don’t really blame her but it’s not good customer service. Outside of that, they are usually pretty good.“

“Why are you closed and when will you be open again? I cannot even get an answer on this when I tried yesterday.“

“very friendly staff and quick service! love the atmosphere“

“Not sure who was working at 4pm on 8/9 but they made the best Sweet Cream Cold Brew with foam I’ve had yet! This is our closest Starbucks to home, and they’ve always been great, even if the line is super long…they work fast. And they always give our doggo a pup cup!“

“Most of the time it's really good but there's one worker I've encountered that disregards any extra you add to the drink (example: added vanilla) and just puts 4-6 pumps of honey instead. It's happened 3 separate times but I go through drive through so I have no idea who it is. Really weird and kinda rude“

“This is why I visit Scooters: Not only do I love their Chai tea and coffees but their customer service is phenomenal! From treats for my dog when I go through the drive thru to a lovely flowers for Mother’s Day, it’s the small extra touches that make a difference. Thanks Scooters - I am a customer for life ❤️☕️🧋“
