Crema's Take

This Cedar Rapids gem radiates genuine Southern hospitality from the moment you walk in, with a charming vintage-meets-cozy aesthetic (complete with classic Price is Right reruns on one TV) that makes you want to linger over coffee and conversation. The kitchen shines brightest at breakfast and brunch, serving up standout dishes like their Salmon Benedict alongside thoughtfully prepared traditional coffee drinks, all at prices that won't make you wince. It's the kind of place where the staff genuinely knows how to make you feel welcome, earning devoted regulars who consider it their new favorite spot in town.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cruz's and I have to say, this place is an absolute gem! As someone who moved to Iowa from Los Angeles two years ago, I have been searching for a breakfast spot that can rival the flavors of my beloved LA breakfasts. Cruz's did not…
