Crema's Take
“This Cedar Rapids gem has mastered the art of making everyone feel genuinely welcomed, with a warm "come home" atmosphere that keeps regulars and newcomers alike lingering over carefully crafted espresso drinks and creative seasonal specials. Beyond stellar coffee, they're known for their impressive full breakfast menu, farm-fresh milk in every latte, and an unexpectedly stellar lineup of fresh-squeezed lemonades in flavors you won't find anywhere else in town. Whether you're settling in with your laptop for the afternoon, catching up with friends, or chatting with the personable owner, you'll find a spot that takes both its craft and its community seriously.”

Truly a warm and inviting establishment. It is rare to find a public environment that has a “welcome home!” Feel to it but the coffee republic so effortlessly cultivate that vibe with excellent customer service, great food, and an amazing decor and ambience. This is truly an amazing spot and it is the ONLY spot I recommend for a coffee shop.
Nice coffee shop with a nice area to hang with friends, family or for business. Had a Carmel macchiato and it was great. Not quite Portland quality but pretty close. About as close as I have found in Iowa and I have tried many.
Best coffee in town! Staff is down to earth and very personable. Atmosphere is inviting good spot to sit and enjoy great coffee! Was able to speak with the owner and knowing that the milk is farm fresh and the beans are fresh roasted makes the effort so much better
Busy coffeehouse during the farmers market but I have to love that they have a full menu including chi latte and matcha that I haven’t seen available at any booth. A neighbor walking by asked where I got my match and luckily they had a huge coffee fly guy so I could easily point them out. It was worth the short wait on a very busy market day! Thank you for being open and serving up great hot and iced matcha with real honey.
They are known for their great food and coffee BUT they also have the BEST fresh squeezed lemonades!! Almost any flavor you can think of and they are huge! Highly recommend anything they have. The staff were all welcoming and even gave suggestions on some popular picks:)
