The Java House - Medical Campus
195-207 Newton Rd, Iowa City, IA
Crema's Take
“This Medical Campus location stands out as a genuinely welcoming spot where the baristas actually care—they'll handle your order mix-ups with grace and offer thoughtful touches like milk alternatives without you having to ask. The espresso and pour overs here are legitimately excellent, earning praise from coffee purists, and the space itself is noticeably nicer than their other location, making it perfect for settling in with your laptop or meeting a friend over a grilled cheese and quality coffee.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.

I ordered grilled cheese for lunch today. I thought it is vegetarian and realized it contained bacon while eating it. Even though it was completely my fault, they were very understanding and offered me a new sandwich for free. It was super delicious. Thank you again
I just ran in to get a couple of coffees, but this location is so much nicer than the other one. And the service was lovely! I'll go back to stay for a while next time!
This was the first cafe I’ve tried in Iowa city bc I’m here for the summer and oh my god it is SO GOOD. 100% recommend. I’ve been eating packed lunch sandwiches that the dorm RA’s have been handing out and they were just not it. Bread was too thick, too much ham and not enough…
Im pretty picky when it comes to my coffee. That being said, this place has Amazing coffee. I am really glad I tried this place. And i really like that they offered milk alternatives!
The food and drinks here are great, when you FINALLY get them. This location is so incredibly slow. They will have 5 or 6 employees there at a time and at least 3 are wandering around waiting for something to finish I'm the toaster, eating ice, having personal conversations.…
