Poindexter Coffee
210 S Dubuque St, Iowa City, IA
Crema's Take
“Poindexter Coffee is a sparkling-clean, college-friendly hub in Iowa City that excels at providing comfortable study spaces with generous tables and genuinely warm staff.

It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself lingering over reasonably priced pastries and light fare, surrounded by students and locals who've made it their go-to gathering spot.”
What to expect
