    Goatchees, ham& spicedhoney sandwich
    Yutaka R.

    So very welcoming' My significant other & I were able to talk w/the group of ladies next to use. We coincided about the Reuben my partner got & the goat cheese their friend got. In all honesty, the honey was perfectly spiced. And the melody of goat cheese, perfectly crested bread, crispy pickle & juicy ham between the goat cheese mixed w/the spiced honey. BLEW MY MIND! I throughly enjoyed the ambience & service(:

    Cannot praise Cafe Saint Pio enough! The vibes are immaculate, the coffee and foods are standout, the staff and service is fabulous, and the prices are low. I only just wish they had a second location in Iowa City, so I could go more often. An absolute gem.

    Order counter and menu
    Jaimie D.

    Cutie little breakfast cafe in the heart of Czech Village. This is an order at the counter style place where food is delivered to table as prepared. Made to order all items are hot and fresh. They offer an array of breakfast items as well as bakery items. They have a coffee bar offering any and all coffee lovers items. They have a number of tables available inside and during warmer months they have bistro style tables outside. The owner is often there working alongside his staff. A great spot for breakfast or lunch. Or even a coffee while working. They have free WiFi and cozy, quiet atmosphere.

    Chorizo biscuit and gravy
    Jim R.

    Stopped for an early Sunday breakfast before heading to airport. Wasn't to busy when we arrived at 7:30 but was picking up when we left. Absolutely a cute little place with some unique menu options. We started with a coffee, caramel latte and a blueberry muffin. The coffee was solid good. Wife really like her latte. And the blueberry muffin was moist, sweet and delicious. Also tried the chorizo sausage and gravy biscuits. Nice twist, the chorizo spiced things up to the slightly bland gravy. Wife had the eggs, toast and bacon and was all cooked as she liked. Overall a really neat cafe in a cool part of town. Would definitely go back.

    My favorite breakfast coffee shop. They make perfect sunny side up eggs. The atmosphere is great. Service is wonderful.

    Excellent coffee! Service was relatively quick and efficient. Ambiance was historic and rustic, but also super cool!

    Honey latte
    Rick D.

    This place is great, the honey iced latte was so good, and the food is cooked fresh on a skillet in front of you. The shop is comfortable and workers work hard. The coffee cup is small and that's my only negative. I will gladly return and enjoy all of these fresh made to order goodies

    Mint mocha
    Anna N.

    Love coming to this little corner cafe to do homework or just hang out. I always order the raspberry latte (highly recommend). The best part is that they serve breakfast and lunch all day. There is usually a lot of room to sit as well! The baristas are always super friendly.

    Vanilla Latte
    Eli C.

    Great ambiance. This is a great place to meet up with a friend for coffee - very relaxing and welcoming. The staff were very nice and the coffee was great! I didn't have any food, but it looked good!

    Todays Quiche
    Mason R.

    An absolute must for anyone in Cedar Rapids, or possibly driving from Iowa to Illinois. Great stop along the way! I had the vegetable quiche with egg, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, mushrooms and onion. It was FLUFFY and amazing. The cafe staff is super friendly and attentive, and very willing to explain menu items. The atmosphere is very European, with folks chattering away and munching on breakfast and pastries. Along with the quiche I had a dirty chai, which was delicious.

    Small Vanilla Latte
    Mason B.

    When visiting from out of town this was the first cafe that popped up and it did not disappoint. The latte was very well made and their iced vanilla latte was also really good and the service was really great. The baristas are very good at their job. The cost is about what you'd expect from a coffee shop and for a small latte and an iced vanilla latte it was about $9 before tip. It is a cute little shop and would suggest it any day. I will definitely be back.

    Excellent food and fast friendly service. A great little lunch restaurant! The restaurant reminds me of a small intimate place in Europe.

    We stopped in for breakfast based on other yelp reviews and were very happy with our choice. My…read morewife and daughter had warm drinks which they both enjoyed and Beignets. The beignets were quite good; warm, doughy, and so much powdered sugar. I had a biscuit and eggs, and really enjoyed the biscuit. These are more grainy than flaky biscuits. It had a wonderful flavor and a nice crunch to the outer edge. With the butter and jam it was pretty perfect. The woman behind the register was very nice and helpful. The only thing I didn't love about light works is that it is located in an industrial area which isn't the most inviting place and is a little hard to find.

    I'm going to review this in sections and try to be very objective because I tend toward fussy…read moresometimes. Environment: Casual coffee shop Coffee: Very good, stong and fresh. I'd maybe order it to go but don't think I'd sit for a chat - see below. Food: Standard coffee shop fare. Served in to go containers (not sure where the photos of plated food came from but that was not my experience). Not sure if it rotates. Fries were well salted but a bit overcooked. Burger was well salted but not noteworthy. Egg sandwich was meh. For my money I'd hit the Map Room or LP Street Food for a meal. Now, for the bad part. It was dirtyyyyy. I ran a damp napkin over the table and it came up brown. Honestly I think we left it cleaner than when we arrived. Floors were dirty and I don't really want to think too much about the bathroom.... I can't recommend this place for food but the coffee was pretty good.

    5/5 stars for our drive-thru experience on 06/11/22. The female employee working was so friendly…read more--- I think she really likes her job! We had to wait a little bit for our drink, despite no one being in front of us in line. Perhaps because this location on Edgewood Rd. offers indoor and outdoor dining and they were busier inside. While waiting, the same employee asked us if we wanted a pup cup for our dog, as she saw him sitting in the backseat. He wasn't sure about it at first, but when we got home he decided to he wanted to eat every last bit and proceeded to carry the cup around. :) Scooter's offers an array of things from beverages to food. I'm not very adventurous and there are a lot of options, so I order the same thing every time. I'm a tipper and they have a tip box outside the drive-thru window. I also look forward to the sticker on my cup -- a neat touch they add to every order. This Scooter's is easy to get in and out of. Big parking lot because of its location in a strip mall. The drive-thru is nice and wide.

    Worst experience ever. Wanted a hot mocha and a warmed up chocolate muffin. They said they couldn't…read morewarm up the muffin because it would make it too runny. I told her that was perfect but still she wouldn't do it. Then when I went to grab my mocha off the counter the kid making the drinks didn't know which drink was which on the counter. He pointed to the one that he thought may be a mocha. I took a sip and it was less than luke warm. When I asked him to warm it up he acted super annoyed and tossed out the entire drink and made a new one. The second mocha didn't taste like it had any chocolate in it whatsoever. I asked if they could add more chocolate and his response was "I made it correctly". I then asked for a refund because I was over it completely at this point. The girl up front didn't know how to do it. Another kid came up and said he would fix my drink while I could still see and hear the first rude kid in the back complaining that he made it correctly. This was my first and last time that I will ever go to a Scooters!!!
