The malted maple latte is easily one of the best I’ve had — perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with a hint of salt.

I also love their glass jar concept; ordered an americano to-go, and it came in a cute jar that I get to keep and reuse ♻️“

“Stopped by at the DSM Farmer’s Market - tons of coffee competition but Northern Vessels iced oat milk latte did not disappoint! I normally drink my coffee over the period of 3+ hours but I had this bad boy finished in 30 minutes! It was smooth, creamy and wonderful! Will definitely be visiting again!“

“the best chai around and an all around wonderful family run business - the ingredients are so high quality and you can tell the drinks are made with love, care and attention. next time you are craving Starbucks, go across the street instead and support this local business - their products are 100x better than anything on that Starbucks menu!“

Cinnamon roll Sunday with LeeTy Delights 💯 I personally dislike the taste of coffee & tea beverages, but Drew made me some kind of iced latte with oat milk & it’s the only coffee I will drink whenever I visit DSM! Cozy vibes, fun events, local treats, food, plants, etc. We love it! 🫶🏼😄“

“the best place to get coffee“

“I stopped by the corporate office not knowing that it was not an actual location where one could purchase a drink. I was greeted when I walked in by the owner and a couple of staff members, including Enzo, the owner’s sweet dog. I asked if I was able to order a drink there and they explained that it was Hyper’s offices, but they were very accommodating. They could’ve easily sent me on my way to one of their locations, but I ended up leaving with a business card to connect later to see how my workplace can partner with Hyper. Thank you!!!“

“I've been to the Iowa City location several times since it opened. The staff members work hard and are always friendly. They're super fast at getting drinks out, and everything is always delicious. My go-to drinks are the Rip 6 (latte with 6 shots of espresso) and the Electric Wave energy drink (blue raspberry and white chocolate).“

“I stopped at Caribou (drive thru) to get a coffee and a glazed donut. The coffee was delicious as usual, but the glazed donut was ice cold--like they just took it out for the freezer/fridge. I can't eat a cold donut, so I had to wait until I got home an hour later to warm it up.“

“Easily one of my favorite spots for coffee and tea. They always have a new coffee of the day in rotation that’s my go-to. The store is always clean and the baristas are always friendly. The roast of their beans is unmatched with a rich flavor that is to die for. They have the largest list of flavors I’ve seen in a coffee store making an endless list of options. I’ve recently become a fan of their cookie butter latte feature biscoff cookie syrup and crumbles on top. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which offers options depending on the weather. I enjoy meeting friends and family here for a coffee and quick bite to eat.

Dietary restrictions: They have dairy-free options for drinks and usually something to eat that is vegetarian.

Parking: Free lot parking

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu (I.e. breakfast foods and snacks), plenty of seating and a safe space outside for the active kiddos

Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessible parking and seating.“

“Best place to enjoy great coffee“

“The inside is beautiful, with plants and how the tables are arranged. They even have a little area where board games were located.
I got the gelato three scoops regular strawberry and green tea. The strawberry was a bit sour but the... ????? ???!!!? was soooooo smooth(that I forgot Im lactose intolerant) having both helped balance it out. 10/10 recommend ?“

“Had a thought at first that this place wasn’t really exist. There was nothing on the map that show about the shop lol

Luckily I trusted my got to visited this place, the crew was absolutely polite. Go enjoy your coffee here!“

“The flights are fantastic. Ask questions if you’re unsure.“

“Drive thru closed 15 minutes before closing but went inside for our order! Otherwise terrific“
