Can’t say enough good things about how the staff interacted with my overly friendly toddler who was very insistent he get a “firefighter tea”. He gave very positive reviews of his steamed milk! Coffee flights, ice cream, and a sunny play space. Such a blessing to have in our community!“

“My favorite place to relax and work on my crafts. I'm in poor health, so, I spend a lot of time resting at home. This place feels so cozy that I can get out of the house without straining myself at all. The drinks are great too, obviously. Lol

Wheelchair accessibility: I'm in an electronic wheelchair and I can get around just fine. Even the upper level has a ramp. Though the ramp is a little narrow, I don't mind personally.“

“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.“

“I have seen this coffee shop evolve from Capanna, to Coffee Emporium, and now Midnight Coffee. I spent a lot of time there while it was Capanna and loved it but I have to say, the changes they have made since it has become Midnight Coffee is my absolute favorite. 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. Highly recommended making Midnight Coffee your new coffee spot in North Liberty and the Corridor region. They have other locations in Iowa city and tiffin as well I believe.“

“Ordered takeaway last night so we could eat outside with friends. The service was friendly and very fast for takeout. I ordered the avocado cucumber sushi combo-the sushi was arranged very prettily even in the takeout container, and it also came with very tasty miso soup. Also ordered the gyoza- savory flavor with just a hint of sweetness. The green tea with roasted rice was delicious - brewed at the right temperature, so it wasn't bitter at all. Next time, we'll dine in!“

“I just walked by. I can't afford a $6 cup of coffee! Smelled good. And, points added for giving out their used coffee grounds for a great addition to your garden compost. Even to me, as I pause for a free sniff on my way out. It's the little acts of sustainability, kindnesses, that add up to a cohesive society, and world. In my strident opinion. :)

Parking: There's plenty during non-rush times. Big Hy Vee parking lot, with Tesla chargers and free air also available at the connected gas station. (North Dodge store, anyway). 90% empty and Fairly safe 11 pm to 5:30 am, ostensibly with cameras recording, but they wouldn't show me the footage of area during time when my bike was stolen there, once...“
