Crema's Take
“The coffee here is genuinely solid and consistent, with friendly staff who actually engage with customers, making it a comfortable spot to linger over breakfast and a drink. That said, the food can be hit-or-miss (some reviewers praise it, others report cold items and slow service), and the pastries and breakfast sandwiches lean traditional rather than inventive. If you're in Cedar Rapids looking for reliable coffee and a casual meeting place, it's worth a visit—just manage expectations that you're getting dependable, not exceptional.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Drive-thru.

See all on Google →I have had Midnight Coffee three times in the last 6 months. The coffee is always great but the food is inconsistent. I have gotten the exact same thing everytime, iced caramel latte and the breakfast club. The First time I got the sandwich there was everything but avacado. The…
Been to several locations and usually love the food and drinks, so this visit was disappointing. The North Liberty location needs improvement—our food came out cold, items were unavailable, and the staff wasn’t very helpful. When we asked questions, the response felt dismissive…
Sunday morning not busy at all and have been waiting for just two bagels. Nothing creative. Everything seasoning bagel with plain cream and we have been waiting for 25 minutes. After getting the bagels they don’t even put the cream cheese on. Very disappointing.
Quite possibly the BEST coffee shop in North Liberty/Coralville/Iowa City area!!! Coffee was delicious and flavorful - not too strong and not too weak! The Breakfast Sammy and Breakfast Club were quite tasty - very fresh and well made. Very far from your typical convenience…
The coffee snd food items are a bit better than average, but nothing to write home about. The service is always great and this is a perfect place to chill out.
Friendly staff that can hold a conversation past "hello." Chai tea was perfect. The pumpkin scone was delicious and large enough to share! Unique and cute logo. Convenient location, drive-thru available, and ample free parking.
