Crema's Take
“Kismet pairs genuinely excellent, carefully-crafted coffee (the Turkish latte is a standout) with a flower shop, creating an unusually thoughtful space that feels more like visiting a friend's living room than a typical café. The baristas clearly care about their craft—even visitors from Australia praised their flat whites—and the whole operation has a relaxed, unhurried vibe that makes it equally good for a quick coffee or settling in for hours. It's worth the trip if you're in Cedar Rapids and want coffee that's actually memorable.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

This place was amazing! I didn’t order any food but their coffee was amazing. I recommend the Turkish latte. I would definitely be back.
I was passing through and had to find somewhere to work for a few hours - I cannot recommend Kismet enough!! All of the staff was so lovely, the coffee, matcha, and chai were all unique and very good, and I left buying a small vase of beautiful flowers! Truly a treat I wasn't…
Loved the coffee, so much. We even got one to go. They did not have many food options, but their coffee was a 10 out of 10. They also had some flowers for sale, beautiful place. They also had coffee flavors I had never seen before.
Amazing! Pour over coffee options, with wonderful staff who are kind and friendly. We even bought some beautiful flowers to bring to a friends house.
This place is DEFINITELY a Vibe!!! If you want great coffee, lattes, and beautiful spirits, atmosphere and ambiance, you HAVE to check out Kismet. I mean, coffee, and fresh beautiful floral bouquets!? The inside is absolutely divine! You can be having the absolute worst day ever…
