Crema's Take

Little Scratch Coffee Roasters is a rare gem where the coffee is genuinely exceptional and the people behind the counter treat you like family—staff like Katrina go out of their way to welcome you and help you explore beyond your usual order. Their seasonal menu keeps things exciting for adventurous coffee drinkers, and they're clearly sourcing quality beans with real care, making this small Iowa City spot feel like a destination rather than just a caffeine stop.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.
