21 Best Cafes near Swisher

“Visited Kava House and Cafe for the first time today. The atmosphere great, menu items delicious, and convenient location to hold a small business meeting. Highly recommend it.“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 by when passing through town.

Super friendly, fast service, and adorable shop.

Their menu was typical and had a bunch of normal flavors that you see throughout. The lady working helped me out and gave great recommendations on everything.

I got the post workout chunky monkey. This is by far one of the better Herbalife shakes I’ve ever had. I think the banana is a good flavor and isn’t chalky at all. The tea was also super refreshing. I got the combo of mega tea and a shame for $17.50. Loved this place.

They also had mega teas to go in a cute little bottle which I thought was a nice convenient option that I haven’t seen many places.

Easy to access in a strip of little stores. Plenty of parking. A kids play area and cute lounge seats. Very nice place!“

“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. 😅“

“Enjoyed a few concerts there“

“Great breakfast and lunches!!!“

“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!“

“Stopped in for lunch July 7, 2025. Crab bisque soup was delicious along with their nice small salad. Dessert was a rustic peach pie that was simply incredible. Please message me when serving the bisque & peach pie again!“

“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!!“

“This place is amazing! Staff is so friendly. The food and smoothies are wonderful. Just had the Medi Bowl and the Cookie Monster protein smoothie. 10/10 would highly recommend both. Love clean eating options with great prices! Will definitely be back!“

“Great atmosphere, food, and Jen is the best waitress! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I got a scone and had to ask to warm it up? The food was good, potato buns.
I love the worldly vibe! Definitely a local favorite and with a warm atmosphere. The little espresso coolers are great, warning this drink is smaller than it appears in the photo!“

“Busy coffeehouse during the farmers market but I have to love that they have a full menu including chi latte and matcha that I haven’t seen available at any booth. A neighbor walking by asked where I got my match and luckily they had a huge coffee fly guy so I could easily point them out. It was worth the short wait on a very busy market day! Thank you for being open and serving up great hot and iced matcha with real honey.“

“❤ Great place to order your diner from. Very tasty and original menu's and great to work with. I would highly recommend.“

“This was my 1st time at the Cedar Rapids (Edgewood Road) Panera Bread. It was clean, I liked the kiosk (yes, it's been a while since I have been to Panera Bread).
My son works nearby so he could get lunch and go back to work.
The only thing the store needed was a working 'fireplace'. It's in the middle of the room but not functional (it's electric). The fireplace would add some atmosphere to the restaurant.“

“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 ❤️☕️🧋“
