1417 Walnut St B, Altoona, IA
Crema's Take
“Horizon Line Coffee is an espresso-forward sanctuary where creative flavor combinations like Lavender Thyme and fresh vanilla bean cold brew are crafted with meticulous care—their shaken lattes arrive perfectly chilled in charming jars, never diluted by melting ice. The welcoming staff and thoughtfully curated pastry selection make it an ideal spot to linger over a carefully made drink, whether you're a local or passing through Iowa on an unexpected detour that becomes the highlight of your trip.”

First time visiting this little gem. I had a cold brew with fresh vanilla bean and a lemon blueberry scone. Both were delicious. They had a lot of interesting drinks on the menu. Looking forward to returning soon!
This coffee shop is soooo good! I love it! I live 5 hours away or I'd visit every week. I love the unique drink menu. The employees are friendly and helpful. I also love thar they offer treats that are gluten and dairy free. The space could be bigger, considering how popular it is, but the aesthetic is good anyway. The Golden Snitch latte was just right. I always look forward to this place!
Stopped by horizon on my way to the walnut and was truly the best decision. I’ve never had such a good ice latte in my life, and to top it off it was in a nice jar. Idk what coffee they use , or the milk but it was 10/10 highly recommend.
The flavor combos are wild and they work beautifully. Our lattes were the perfect temp. If we lived here, this would be our constant jam. Nice work!
I tried the Lavender Thyme Iced Latte and loved the twist. It was shaken and strained, so no ice watered it down. Smooth espresso (not burned, great roast) with lavender and thyme balanced perfectly. Plenty of seating even though it was busy, and the to-go jar was a fun touch. Prices felt very reasonable coming from the Twin Cities. We had kids with us; not exactly “kid friendly,” but no issue bringing them. Overall, creative drinks, solid coffee, and a great stop.
