Crema's Take
“Nestled in downtown Cedar Rapids, Black Sheep Brewed has mastered the rare balance of being equally excellent whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a long conversation. The real magic here is the staff—reviewers consistently rave about their genuine warmth and attentiveness, combined with seriously good cinnamon rolls and carefully crafted drinks that keep locals coming back. It's the kind of place where you feel genuinely welcomed, making it perfect for both solo coffee moments and meaningful meetings with friends.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

See all on Google →Awesome experience. Really good food. Excellent wait staff.
Super nice staff, very friendly, fast and a great cinnamon roll!
An excellent spot for a quick coffee and a bite. The staff is wonderful, fun and fast! I would definitely stop again!
I visit this coffee shop downtown repeatedly because their staff are consistently genuinely kind and helpful. The only thing I'd change is to have an organic decaf option. Great job, BSB!
This place sets the bar for what other coffee shops should aspire to be. Their beverages and Café items are delicious. More importantly is the staff. They make you feel welcomed and want to serve.
