Strawberry Fru Fru Matcha
H P.

I was excited to stop by this coffee shop again while passing through, as I remembered enjoying it on a previous visit. This time I ordered two drinks, the Fru Fru Matcha and the B&W Cookie Latte. At $7 each, I was expecting a premium experience, but unfortunately, both drinks missed the mark. The main issue with both was texture (I'm not a texture person normally). Despite ordering whole milk, they had a strange, chunky consistency-- my guess is likely from unshaken cream top--not spoiled, but definitely unappealing. The Fru Fru Matcha tasted mostly like strawberry milk, with little to no matcha flavor coming through. The B&W Cookie Latte was very gritty, almost like it had undissolved cake-like batter in it, and I couldn't get more than a few sips in. The texture of both drinks was so off-putting, I wasn't able to finish either drink. Also, despite being the only customer in the shop, the wait time felt surprisingly long considering there were four staff members working. I don't mind paying more for quality, but $14 for drinks I couldn't enjoy left me disappointed. It might be worth reconsidering the use of glass jars instead of biodegradable cups. If that's part of the pricing structure, customers don't always know that upfront... and may not want to pay an extra $1-2 per drink for a jar they didn't ask for. At this point, I'm not sure I'd return unless the drinks are refined. I'm sharing this feedback in hopes it helps improve the experience, because the creativity and concept are clearly there, just not quite dialed in yet sadly.

Always get great drinks from here. Good service, creative drinks, a generally welcoming atmosphere. The VHS tape collection is nice.

DAYDRINK is housed in a historic 19th century era building formerly home to one of Iowa City's first grocery stores.

Verena Street Coffee - Verena Street Shot Tower Espresso

Verena Street Shot Tower Espresso: Verena Street Coffee was founded in late 2010 and provides their…read morecoffee to 800+ stores in the Midwest. They roast, blend, and package their coffee in Dubuque, Iowa. Their name derives from a street in Iowa that contained only five houses comprised of the founder's family. In the early 2000s the street was annihilated to make room for highway expansion, but the name lives on in the coffee. For my first review from their brand, I went with a whole bean bag of their Shot Tower Espresso blend. The company describes that blend as having a " smooth yet sharp character with no bitterness. The delicately dark roast level results in a taste and aroma that is full-bodied with a sweet and creamy complexity." Beans for their signature espresso blend are selected from Central America, South America and Indonesia in order for a unique and nuanced flavor profile. I found this particular roast to not only be delicious, but one of my new favorites. I'll be on the lookout for more of their blends at my local grocer. Doughboy approved Doughboy _Food_Reviews *I brew my coffee using 8oz of water to 2 Tbsp of grounds, adding 1 packet of Splenda and 1.5oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or skim milk

5/5 stares for my online ordering experience and customer service…read more I placed an order on Cyber Monday, figuring I would take advantage of the 40% off on ground coffees. Picked out what I wanted and ordered online...only to find out that my in-laws don't really use ground coffee, but single-serve instead. Agh! Once I found out this very-important-information, it was an 1.5 hours after placing my order. I emailed customer services asking about how I could change my order from ground coffee to single-serve. Eric immediately wrote me back and explained that it would be easier to cancel my order, then I could reorder what I did want, as they use a 3rd party credit card processor. I was instantly refund the $ I spent on my original order, so I turned around and bought the single-serve coffee instead. Less than 48 hours after placing my online order my in-laws received their coffee in the Chicago suburbs - super fast delivery. They were thrilled, and I can't say enough good things about Verena Street's products and their customer service. Would love to see them expand their single-serve coffee flavors in the future. The ability to choose a shipping date (especially for the holiday season) would be a nice option, too. Highly recommend.

While I was visiting family in the area I stopped by Dunn Bros for my morning coffee. My first…read morevisit was a little frustrating as they couldn't understand my order. The coffee was awesome and I returned the next day. Thos time I got breakfast. The bacon grilled cheese was slightly disappointing. Only two small strips of bacon on this lovely sandwich. I didn't even taste the bacon and had to disassemble the sandwich to confirm that they even put bacon. I'll be back for coffee but not sure if I'll be ordering anything to eat. The dinning area is kind of noisy but the decor is great. There's only one cozy seating area and the rest are tables and hard back chairs. Staff was friendly and helpful

This breakfast sandwich was delicious! Full of flavor and the croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky. Rating = 9.2/10). Iced Vanilla Latte (Solid. Solid. Solid. Enjoyed that this latte wasn't overly sweet to the point where it drowns out the espresso flavor. It wasn't the best I've had, but it definitely got the job done this morning. Rating = 7.9/10). Service: The employees I interacted with and observed while I spent the morning working in the shop seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs. Everyone was polite and were chatting with the regulars as they came in and out. Ambiance: The physical space had all sorts of room for people like myself who were there looking for a place to be productive. From bar seating, high tops, tables, couches, and comfy chairs - this place can accommodate all sorts of patrons. As a bonus, I had the pleasure of sitting right next to the roaster while they were actively roasting beans for most of the morning! Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better place to serve as my office for the morning. A well deserved 5/5 rating!
