Crema's Take
“Kindred Coffee is a beloved Iowa City gem where the vibe matches the quality of the coffee—locals rave about inventive seasonal drinks like the Flapjack Latte and a thoughtfully vegan-friendly menu that includes standouts like their buffalo chickpea sandwich. The space radiates genuine warmth with a cool, creative crowd and staff who make you feel at home, making it the kind of place where you'll want to linger with your laptop or meet a friend, not a chain coffee shop.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

our favorite coffee shop in iowa city! The Flapjack latte is the absolute best. Always a good atmosphere and the workers are very nice. They change their specials a lot and offer great new drinks.
