While visiting Onawa, Iowa, during the 53rd RAGBRAI ride across Iowa, I had the chance to stop by Downtown Coffee and Cream. Even if it hadn't been a hot and humid July day, I'm convinced the warm welcome I received would have been exactly the same.
We need more places like Downtown Coffee and Cream in our world. They've found their niche: genuine hospitality served with a side of coffee and cream.
My first visit was in the afternoon, where I enjoyed a scoop of "This Just Got Serious" ice cream and a strawberry smoothie. I came back the next morning for an Americano and a cinnamon swirl bagel. Just as before, the staff was smiling, engaging, and serving quality with every order.
I honestly don't think I'll ever find myself back in Onawa, but I feel like a small piece of Onawa will always stay with me because of this place.
Thank you for making a traveler feel at home. read more
