    They serve Intelligentsia coffee which is wonderful. Have the Italian panini for lunch it's the best. Also the staff is friendly and always in a good mood! Bottom line it's a great place to visit :)

    Cute, cute, cute. Hands down one of the cutest places, if not the cutest, in Downtown Cedar Rapids. The service was okay, my wrap was fine but expensive for the size/ingredients. I do like that they have very nice fresh fruit as a side option instead of just chips. I would try them again. Soup is at an awesome price, $3.00/cup and $3.70 for a bowl!

    Serving Intelligentsia coffee - some of the best in the world! Nicely toasted bagel as a perfect accompaniment for a latte. Must visit...

    Came across this place by accident since the place we wanted to go a few blocks away ended up being closed. Saw this on yelp, saw that we could get a free coffee or dessert with a check in, and decided to check it out. The paninis looked pretty good on the reviews anyway. Walked into the place and was hesitant to stay, but we had already walked in, so no turning back. We wanted to find a lunch place, and this was more of a coffeeshop (they do sell intelligentsia coffee which I know some people love) that sells some paninis and wraps. I ordered a pick two - half a pesto chicken wrap and a cup of soup (creamy mushroom was the soup of the day). First, they said that they don't do half wraps, so they turned it into half a panini which was fine. The portions turned out quite small. The panini didn't have much taste, finished it in a few bites. The soup they said was homemade, vegetarian, and gluten free. Not really something I get excited to hear since I'm not vegetarian and nor gluten free. It was a pretty bland soup with just mushrooms in it, and wasn't particularly creamy... More watery. The free dessert I got was either a scotcharoo or scone, and the scone actually turned out to taste pretty decent. So that was a plus. When you order a full sandwich (the rest of the people I ate with got a full sandwich), you get chips or a piece of fruit on the side. The bag of chips was a rather large bag of kettle chips (of various Flavors)... Kettle chips.. Definitely a plus on my end. But all in all, it wasn't anything too fancy, and I'd probably only come here if I wanted some good coffee (since I heard intelligentsia was pretty good)...

    While the owners were friendly and excited to see their regular customers, they were rather curt and dismissive of me and my partner when we were dining there. The Tomato Mozzarella Panini was bland, tasteless crap. The Chicken Pesto Wrap was just okay. It seems the effort is placed into the charming decor rather than the food. If anyone had bothered to see how we were doing after the food arrived, I would have let them know. Sadly, no one cared. That's fine, we won't be returning anytime soon.

    The first and the best coffee shop I found downtown Cedar Rapids which actually the first floor of my office. Like the coffee, breakfast, lunch, and the service

    Good coffee, nice sandwich, and delicious soup for a reasonable price. Also a lovely place to hang out a work for a little while. Although, as I was working, an capella group wandered in to sing. That was a little distracting!

    Great little local find. Cute cute place. Strong coffee and homemade smoothies. They can add spinach to any of them. They serve lunch too.

    Start your day off with their Intelligentsia coffee and breakfast while keeping up with the downtowns favorite people. Plenty if seating for a morning meeting or lunch chat. A friend of mine had her bridal shower there and they make lovely gift baskets.

    Looking for a coffee shop that isn't the same old look with wooden floors and dimly lit corners? Then check this place out! The space and bright and airy with a wall of windows and a soothing color scheme that invites you to stay for breakfast (pastries, fruit, yogurt, english muffin sandwiches) or lunch (soups, salads, wraps, sandwiches) in any one of their several seating areas. The only place you will find Intelligentsia coffee in Cedar Rapids, and yes, you CAN tell a difference in the flavor of the beans. Added bonus is a friendly staff that actually remembers you on your next visit!

    A great place to relax! The staff is amazing and they know who you are on your second visit. The coffee is the best in town and not expensive. The lunch menu is small and mighty and always tasty. Try the Turkey Avacado if you don't believe me.

    This place is like a Pinterest board in real life. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. The drinks are good. Unfortunately the panini don't seem to be served in full size panini bread. Also it is hard to spot the place when walking around the area.

    One of 2 places in the corridor that I know of that serves Intelligensia. The place has great service, and being new, their menu is expanding. I've not tried the cupcakes that they also have. My only issue is probably the entry sequence to the shop...is convoluted....no bad takes on everything else.
