Coffee & cafés in Iowa City

Coffee shops and cafés are places to get a warm drink, a light bite, or a quiet spot to sit and work or talk. Many offer espresso drinks, tea, chai, matcha, cold drinks, sandwiches, salads, pastries and quiche, though menus vary from one shop to the next. Before you go, check the menu online or by phone if you have a dietary need or want a specific drink, and ask whether they offer oat or other non-dairy milk. If you plan to meet a group or use a table for a while, call ahead or visit during a slower part of the day, since busy morning and lunch hours can fill seats quickly. These Iowa City listings include the hours and contact details to help you plan.
