The coffee is very good, but the service is very lacking in customer interaction. Very impersonal interaction for sure. Also, no sense of urgency when completing orders. Can't say that I will be going back. But if you don't care about anything except getting a coffee and leaving, it will be your place.

This little coffee shop is a hive of activity in this quaint little town where they must value it highly. I stop here every time I'm in Kalona as it's a quick option for hot coffee for my drove back to Cedar Rapids. The coffee is good. The counter help is mostly disinterested. I wouldn't say it's dirty but it's also not the cleanest. But this may be to their high volume of traffic. I have never had the food so I really should comment as N/A but I can see that it's the standard fare of scones and muffins. They do have a nice display of the amazing chocolates from the Kalona Chocolate Shop which is just around the corner from this shop and well worth the visit.

Very good coffee and coffee drinks. Fresh pastries, but no savory items such as breakfast sandwiches, or instant hot cereals.
Very nice little coffee shop!! Relaxing atmosphere and super good drinks!! I had a caramel sauce latte!! It sure was good!! I missed not having it in a regular ceramic coffee cup. Not sure if you have to specify that or if you have to order the right thing to get it…. All in all it was great tho!!! Keep it up team!!

I love the monthly drink specials. My favorites are the strawberry shortcake and autumn delight. The staff is always friendly and drinks are served quickly. I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so.

Cappuccino is my go to drink for any coffee shop I visit the first time as my gauge for good coffee. It was tasty!To much milk though, too much foam. But that Kalona milk and the espresso shots where strong enough to make it balance alright.I think any cappuccino over 8oz is way to much. 6 oz is ideal with microfoams.It had great space inside for just about any person.

My only complaint is that when I came back for a second time, the Strawberry ? shortcake was TOO SWEET ?, To caramely. It was horrible ???.Such a lovely place. Full of people enjoying the atmosphere and yes enjoying the drink or food. It looked small for me, but when you enter is big.
