I've been to hundreds of coffee shops around the U.S, but this one is by far THE best. My go to is an iced salted honey latte. Their menu is huge. They also offer monthly drink specials. They have unique and delicious flavor combinations. And how could I forget their baked goods?!?! They always have a stacked bakery case. They've got the biggest cinnamon rolls with the best frosting. Em offers a newsroom which has a couch and several chairs for meetings, or just to hangout! Overall a must-try. I promise you'll be going back

This was such a cute little coffee shop I stopped by on my way drive home for the weekend! I loved…read morethe ambiance of the shop - it was connected to a store so there was a ton of little things you could look at or buy, definitely gave me very comfy cozy vibes. Bathroom was clean and looked well managed. Staff was very friendly and I didn't have to wait too long for my drink. I tried one of the specials I think the hoppy bunny which the barista described as white chocolate and peanut butter - to me it tasted more like almond, not really either of the flavors she mentioned but it was decent, just didn't blow me away :)

You must try the blueberry scones and muffins - loaded with huge berries. The homemade Chex mix is great. They also have other food choices on Wednesday and Thursday evenings too. Lots of seating indoor and pretty seating outside too. The Cedar Valley nature Trail goes right by the building. So if you're writing your bike, this is a fantastic place to stop for a treat. They also have ice cream. There is a great yarn shop on one side of the building. People are nice. I often meet my sister there - have snacks and coffee while we work on jewelry projects. It's just off the interstate. Great staff. They do a great job of decorating for the holidays. And in the spring and summer, it's gorgeous outside with their beautiful huge pots of flowers.

This is a very fancy coffee shop in a rural part of Wisconsin: what a surprise!…read more The decor is bright and twee. There are all the usual coffee drinks you would expect. What you wouldn't expect are the breakfast burritos. They are good. They are damn good! Most coffee places have A-OK/serviceable breakfast burritos. Not here. I'd even argue that the breakfast burritos are the main attraction.

While visiting my mother in Oelwein, she told me about a new coffeeshop, Blackbird. I was so…read moreexcited to be able to get a good cup of coffee and I wasn't disappointed. The menu was ample, with options for milk being available. They have turned what was a vacant clothing store into a welcoming, beautiful space to enjoy your freshly made beverage. They have a map on which, if you're visiting, can put a pin on the map from where you are visiting. I was the first pin from Palm Springs...YAY. Misty, the owner, was also welcoming and she, one of her staff and I had a lovely conversation. If you happen to pass through or visit Oelwein, visit Blackbird Coffeehouse. You can thank me later.

Quick service, great tasting coffee! Many different options, cozy environment! I will be back!read more
