“Made reservations for my birthday. We had the bruschetta caprese as a starter. It was very fresh, tomatoes had tons of flavor. We ate every last shred of basil off the plate. My husband ordered the lobster which had amazing flavor and didn’t have the standard “seafood” taste I dread. I had the rissono which wasn’t at all greasy, or spicy. Decent portions and quality food. Servers are very well informed. I had two limontini’s which were delicious. Bar can get a bit behind in a rush. We finished with dessert, cheesecake with berries which was fine but not my favorite cheesecake. We will be back and sure to recommend!”

“I went and picked up a pizza from these folks for the first time last night. OMG! One of the best commercially produced pizzas I have ever had the pleasure to eat ! Full disclosure I usually make my own and they rock too. I had the The Wedgetable Garden with Jerk Chicken added. Honestly I felt I should have left it without the JC, because the pizza was already LOADED. Every darned thing about that pie was perfect. One of the few IC pizzas that is not too greasy (look'n at you Pags). I highly - HIGHLY recommend their pizza !”

“I'm not sure why this page is full of tech and finance reviews. Hopefully mine will actually help people who are curious about this Iowa City gem. Molly's catered a small cake and a large number of cupcakes for my mid-sized wedding. Sour stuff first: Complaints (none large enough to warrant less than a five-star review): 1) They didn’t keep a record of our deposit. This seemed unprofessional and disorganized. Luckily, I was able to provide proof of the transaction, and then they “found” it (and didn’t make us pay again). 2) The cake appeared hastily decorated and put together. It did not have the details of the design we had discussed, and the food coloring in the frosting was streaky and not completely mixed. It was still delicious, but disappointing because the main purpose of the cake was for the cutting photos! 3) We had a miscommunication about when we needed the cake delivered. Molly’s was able to get it to us in time, but it sure gave us a scare. Ultimately, delicious cake and cupcakes. Our wedding guests were happy, and, to our knowledge, no one with allergies or sensitivities had any negative impacts. Their ability to accommodate dietary restrictions was one of the reasons we chose Molly’s. Their gluten-free cupcakes are genuinely some of the best. Due to a planning/ordering error on our part, we overlooked our need for a singular egg-free cupcake. Molly’s kindly hand-delivered said solitary cupcake when we frantically called to ask for a remedy. This sort of kindness is some of the best customer service around and more than makes up for the hiccups we had with the process.”

“This restaurant has incredible service and staff. I have been numerous times and each time I have been greeted at the door and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure I have a good experience. They recommend I try certain sauces, dishes, and even offer me a free drink with my meal. I did not know anything about this restaurant until I had their food at a graduation party. The food is great and very affordable!”

“This was the first cafe I’ve tried in Iowa city bc I’m here for the summer and oh my god it is SO GOOD. 100% recommend. I’ve been eating packed lunch sandwiches that the dorm RA’s have been handing out and they were just not it. Bread was too thick, too much ham and not enough provolone or lettuce, etc. I’ve been feeling sick this past week because of those sandwiches so I decided to switch it up and try a nearby cafe instead. And wow. Service was great, the employees are kind, their latte was spectacular I felt like I was ascending into the sky. Sandwich was delicious, perfect proportions between the ingredients I would gladly return back the next chance I get.

“A perfect example of a coffee shop geared towards the needs of student / young professional environment, where you need comfortable seating, outlets, reliable WiFi, and a steadily available but affordable stream of caffeine directly to your veins. Plus sick designs on the coffee cups, nice.

My friend got a mocha, I was jealous, but I had homework to do so I got the black, and it was delightful still. For what it's worth, he said he really liked his too.

Only complaint would be it's kind of a weird order placement / collection situation though, not very intuitive if you're settled in somewhere and waiting. Sure it's not an issue if you're a regular though, so doesn't count against the final rating.”

From the great coffee, to the partnering with local pastry shops, to the new interior design, and the new Merch…..the VIBE is immaculate as people younger than me would say.

I’ve been a customer for about 10+ years and highly recommend the Ben’s Other pizza. Very good! Very balanced for price, quality, and value. Just Do not get delivery. In my opinion, obviously.”

“Tammie must be lying,,cause if anyone knows the owner he's not taking a meal off anyone's tickets without a lengthy debate..let alone pay someone for.good google reviews..I suppose that if I went to a restaurant where I was poisoned with rotten food, with visible mold and msg pouring out of it. I WOULD SPEND LESS TIME MAKING NOTES ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE THING THAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU..and probably ask to speak to someone Manager ..owner...doctor or nurse after all this diarrhea..your fingers work great though...Very credibel hands mamm.”
