17 Best Cafes near Marion

“Only complaint I have is that they're only open until 4, owner remembers my name, sandwiches are tremendous, I love rye and egg salad which they always carry. I love eating there when I am able to. Reasonably priced as well!! One of my faves. One more small complaint: I always miss out on the chicken and wild rice soup lol, which is my own fault. 10 out of 10 on everything else.“

“Great coffee, reasonable prices, website is easy to navigate, and they always deliver same day to me (locally). Haven’t purchased different coffee since trying it.“

“This establishment was truly delightful. It embodies the essence of a family-run business where exceptional customer service and food quality remain paramount. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this diner. The food is delicious and prepared with the same care one would expect from a home-cooked meal. Their beverages, soups, sandwiches, and desserts were all outstanding. The prices are very reasonable, and our server was a pleasure to interact with. We are very grateful for the experience. This location is suitable for individuals, couples, or groups of any size, as everyone is greeted with a warm smile. We look forward to returning when we are next in the area.“

“First time here. This place is amazing! It was bright and everything was clean. The service was five star! They greeted and sat us immediately. We were there on a Saturday at 1pm Right after the big rush and it was still clean! You could tell the staff were happy to be there. Our server, Nathaniel (I think)was amazing! He was knowledgeable, accommodating and happy to be there. He and a manager actually came back after we received our food and checked on us. I find that this is a rarity today. Ok... now for the food! You won't leave hungry! The entire meal was fabulous! Everything was hot and tasted so good! I tried the iced mocha coffee and it was delicious. Will definitely be back! Service is Everything!“

“I’m only in CR on weekends and I visit whenever I’m able to, the atmosphere of the shop is incredible and kind. The workers are very friendly everytime and make engaging conversation. The flowers are beautiful and we ended up buying a small plant from upstairs and we love it :)“

“Have been here a few times now, and it’s exceptional. Everything I’ve gotten has been incredibly delicious, and staff has been super pleasant! If the weather is nice, definitely eat outside!“

“We just had an amazing and delicious jalapeño bacon burger with great homemade fries! My mouth is still watering and wanting more! Always a great place with friendly service!“

“We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner for 20 people at Groundswell last week and it was awesome! Brittany helped me decide on the menu (chicken piccata, pasta carbonara, and focaccia pizza were the entree options for our group) which Jack cooked for us. They made sure our guest who had gluten sensitivity had a delicious meal too. My guys were thrilled that they featured local Millstream beers, along with a nice selection of wine. Great atmosphere and delicious food. Everyone remarked on how great it was. Glad we had our event here!“

“I've visited previously and had a great experience. On 9th December 25' I was served by an older, dark-haired lady. There was no greeting or a smile just a "What can I get started for you". Her demeanor and attitude was really cold. I'm glad that I'd had a great experience in the past otherwise this would have been my first and last visit. The café itself is very warm and cosy; the coffee is delicious. It's clean; however the ladies room could use some dusting on the metal rails and paper towel holder. The young ladies that work there are actually really sweet and they even wished me a great day as I walked out which, somewhat made up for the lady that served me.“

“Friendliest atmosphere and THE BEST sweet and sour chicken in Cedar Rapids. My family loves their Thai menu. Visit this "diamond" and you'll keep coming back!“

“Stopped at Brewhemia for the first time today and it was wonderful! Met one of my late father’s friends there who hasn’t seen me since I was a couple days old, so we were catching up talking about our memories of my dad. I was so engrossed in conversation that I hadn’t realized they had closed almost 40 minutes prior. No one came over to rush us out, but I apologized as they offered me a to-go cup for my drink and they graciously told us it wasn’t a problem. We then sat outside on the patio for another hour in the shade finishing up our coffee. Thank you so much for giving us space while we talked about some pretty heavy things along with our wonderful memories. It truly means a lot to me as I cherish every moment I get to talk about my father, especially with those who cared about and love him almost as much as I do. ♥️ I will certainly be suggesting this place to everyone, but I promise to remind them of the closing time so they don’t overstay their welcome like we did. 😅“

“The guy at the counter was really friendly and fun to talk to. The donuts tasted great! Fresh and delicious. We especially liked the Ube and Cherry Blossom. Would go back.“

“Great breakfast and lunches!!!“

“Took my son for a fun treat! Cute spot, Very friendly service!“

“I had an issue. I messaged and they helped correct the the issue. I appreciate them taking the time to make sure I was treated like a valuable customer!“

“It is a must go if you are looking for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Easy to order in or to go. The daily bakery specials are to die for.“

“This place hit the spot!! It was so good and so much food I ate for days!! Vegan food was great, and my Uncle and partner ate meat and said the same. You won’t go wrong making this your next dinner date!!“
