Coffee Emporium

Attention to the customer was great. Hospitality awareness is so far beyond the typical in the states. Coffee, food and baristas were exceptional.

The vibe inside was very warm, welcoming, and relaxed. The lady at the counter was very sweet. I got an Ethiopian pourover that was delicious. I'm looking forward to trying this bag of beans later.

Best cold brew in town. Also the matcha is really good. Highly recommend!!! Great gluten free pastries options (lemon cake, banana muffins)

The barista making our hot cappuccinos did an outstanding job. A perfect coffee, which can be hard to find! I’ll be back!

My favorite coffee shop in Iowa City. Although ownership changed hands, they still have the same amazing staff as before, top-notch coffee (I am a cold brew fiend) and way more seating than any other cafe in town. This is the place, especially if you are a student.

Very friendly and knowledgeable baristas. Excellent lattes! Highly recommend 😊

A long-time Iowa City favorite. Plenty of drinks and food options. Lots of seating.

Great shop just off campus.

Friendly staff and good food.👍

Great coffee and a good place to work on laptops for a while.

Me and my bf really loved coming here! We didn't get coffee, but the food and drinks we did get were so, so good. I love the selection, and the prices are fair too. I'm not sure of her name, but the girl who ring us up was awesome as well. Overall, it was a great experience.

Very niche and exciting cafe. They have great food, and a super interesting coffee+beer dynamic going on. The staff are super friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming and peaceful. I could definitely imagine myself spending a whole day reading or doing work in here. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. If you’re visiting Iowa City for a day or two like I was, I definitely recommend trying this place out. I’ve never seen anything quite like it!

A charming coffee shop in a trendy neighborhood! They offer a very nice selection of coffee, tea, italian soda, craft beers, wine and much more! I personally love their caprese which looks pricey but once you get it you realize why! I recommend coming here multiple times so you can curate what you like best. Very friendly and helpful staff who know the menu and area well!

Love the variety at Coffee Emporium! The atmosphere is great as well. Stop by and give them a try today. You will not regret it!

One of the best, if not the best local coffee shops I've visited. They clearly know how to brew good coffee and have a wonderful staff who are quite knowledgeable about their impressive beverage selection. Their tea collection is impressive and far beyond typical stores including beautiful exotics like Pu Erh. They also have a nice selection of pastries, sandwiches and salads.

Food was delicious Ginger Beer very thirst quenching, although it's non alcoholic 🐥who would have known with a name like. Staff was very friendly, clean seemed like they all liked what they were doing. Genuine smiles and very pleasant. I came home to feed and walk the dogs and going back Chad who works there said come back Thursday night is comedy night. Who cant use a bit of comedy in their life.

Wonderful service and delicious coffee. The lavender latte is delicious! They happily made me a cafe miel off menu that was perfect with cinnamon and honey. Great meeting spot or quiet retreat. Parking is always available within the block.

Great atmosphere to study or just hang out! So much natural light! My barista was very friendly, and knowledgeable. Best espresso in town!! It's a perfect location, right on the corner of market & linn st, you can't miss it!!

My goodness. This place has an amazing atmosphere! Good sandwiches and pastries. Good tea and beers (alcoholic and ginger). If you want to study somewhere this is the place to be. Great cafe music, FREE WIFI, and it's never that busy.

Everything about this place is fantastic-beautifully friendly people, food, beverages, and consistently a switch up in the local art! It's so quiet and peaceful that studying or one-on-one time can actually happen. Yet it's popular and loved. And that's always a good sign ;)
Enjoy!!! 💜💙💚💛❤
