But it's unusual, so I wasn't sure at first how this was going to go. I got chocolate chip cookies and a loaf of cinnamon bread. (Sweet tooth. He bakes savory and gluten-free items, too.) The cookies are great - more on the chewy than crispy side at first. But then they get crunchy . . . if you don't finish them right away. But the cinnamon bread . . . oh my g*d! Have you ever seen a loaf of bread that was so beautiful, such a work of art, that you didn't want to slice into it? Neither have I, until today. I was worried that it was going to be overpoweringly sugary but it's *not*. Mark, the owner, tells me that it's ambrosial as French toast, but I just had a heel, plain, untoasted, unbuttered, and it was perfect in taste and texture. And the customer service! was superb. This was my first order. It was ready early. Mark let me know I could pick it up the next day as scheduled, or pick it up early. Delayed gratification builds character, but I couldn't wait. It was good to meet him and have a little chat. Very enthusiastic about his work, very accommodating - AND he and Falbo help to feed our homeless neighbors with good food, so he's a good Dubuquer, too.

You know how sometimes you walk into a restaurant and you know, you know, that it feels right? I…read morehad that experience over the weekend on my first stop at Convivium. Located in a Dubuque neighborhood, this former greenhouse is a great venue with an even better mission. I had heard that owners and co-founders Leslie and Mike Shabali had positively impacted the community and found out first-hand on a holiday weekend Saturday morning. A rectangular footprint can be challenging for some businesses, but Convivium embraces it, and the venue's layout results in an open environment that checks every box. Casual attire, street parking. Greeted at the entry, everyone affiliated with the restaurant had a great way about them, unpretentious and kind. They had a live act, Rianna Marie, performing towards the back, and she was outstanding, a pleasant and unexpected element of our breakfast. The natural lighting is lovely, and the overall layout is inviting and warm. BTW, check out their community calendar near the restrooms! Server Jo was excellent, loving her job and environment, and she REALLY knew the menu. Jo elevated our experienced further and told us more about the restaurant's mission statement. I loved my Farm House Plate, a tasty plate that included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and sensational rosemary-seasoned red potatoes. My better half thought her White Street Plate was great, especially the sweet potato pancakes! Their mission captivates me and makes me a Convivium supporter from this point, Their commitment is to instill food justice and a feeling of community in Dubuque, and they back up their words. They grow their own, teach people in the community how to cook, enjoy the food and make a difference for those not well off. I love their passion for helping others and will support them moving forward.

Recently, some close friends, my wife and I drove over to Dubuque for a weekend getaway. We love…read morefarm-to-table restaurant concepts and in-city dining, so we thought Convivium would be an ideal spot to have breakfast on our first day in town. As great as this place could (if not should) be, it will never reach it's potential with the lousy customer service that we experienced. Why do I say this? Read on Yelper. We arrive for breakfast around 9:45 am on Saturday. There was a little bit of a line, which is to be expected at any well known breakfast/brunch establishment, right? The young lady working the register asked if we wanted to pick a table outside, handed us four menus and told us that someone would be out there to help us shortly. We sat at an empty, yet still dirty with plates from the last customers, table that was in the shade. Annnnnd we waited. As staff came out to attend to other customers sitting in the same patio area, the four of us sat there waiting for water, coffee, a smile... heck even an acknowledgement that we were there would have been nice. Seriously, if the Invisible Man was real and sitting at the table, he probably would have had a better chance of being noticed by the servers working that morning. We ended up busing our own table because no staff would bother to do it - I'm very serious. Nearly 20 minutes pass. As another couple comes into the patio, sits down and gets near immediate service with their drink orders, we had it! We entered the restaurant to find out what the problem is for such terrible service?!? The tall, head service member (did not catch her name) had an attitude for sure with her question "Did one of us seat you?" and we answered that "No, your host teammate told us to grab the table." She damn near rolled her eyes. Finally, lightening struck... someone showed up to give us water, wipe the table, and take our order. But don't get your hopes up that this was the end of bad service. Regrettably, it was not. We waited nearly 25 more minutes to get our order of eggs, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Tough order for a breakfast place, don'tcha think? Out comes the food... without utensils to eat with. 4 mins of watching your food get cold motivated us to good inside and get our own utensils. As we did, the head member walks out with the items. Now - let's shift to the one positive part of the experience and that of course is the food. To show you that I am a reasonable reviewer, I will tell you that the meal was very tasty, cooked to order, and satisfying (especially when you're starving!). When I said at the beginning that this place can be great, the food is the reason why. After a Friday night of fun, a place like Convivium is just what you want for a Saturday breakfast before an afternoon of NCAA College Football - you know what I mean? But until management decides to hold the staff accountable for this terrible customer service, Convivium will be closed in less than 5 years (my prediction). Read some of the other reviews... we share the same general opinion. And this is coming from someone that values restaurant concepts like this one. Get it together before its too late, Convivium.

They have memberships available with benefits like regular refills or a certain number of pints a week. It's still a nice, friendly place to hang out and have a couple beers. They did expand into the space next door giving them more seating, along with a place for live music and a place to sit outside. They've also expanded their food menu a bit.

We were able to choose our table, so that was cool. The atmosphere was quiet and gentle. The Food & Drink Menu was at the table. It stated to Please Make Your Choice And Order At The Bar. We walked to the bar. I started off with the Jubeck Blonde. It was a Crisp, medium-bodied, golden, mild, easy-drinking American cream ale. It was $6. From the Classic Pizzas section, we ordered a Small 9" * $10 Pepperoni. It had tomato sauce, mozzarella & parmesan. From the Specialty Pizzas section, we ordered a Small 9" Carbonara. It had Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, grilled chicken, bacon, roasted mushrooms. It was S-$15. We gave a card to open a tab. I took the Jubeck Blonde back to our table and gave it a try. It sure was crispy and a good drink to steadily sip. Speaking of crispy, the pizzas came out fast. I started with the Pepperoni. It was so good I could hardly stop. The amount of meat on the pizza sure was generous. Well, that one was going to be hard to beat, or so I thought. The Carbonara had such a precise flavor from the ingredients all masterfully blending together. I knocked out most of that pizza. Well, I got thirsty, so I went up to order the Mango Sour Guava. It was a Sour ale brewed w/ mango & guava. Fruity w/ tart & crisp finish. It was $6. I enjoyed it highly and it paired nicely with the pizzas. I went back up to order the Barnstormin' Ale. It was a Hazy American pale ale w/ citra hops. It was $6. I thought it was smooth, especially with the citra hops flavor. The drink disappeared pretty fast. The last one I went up to order was the Lavender Honey Wheat. It was an Herbal, medium-bodied, sweet, easy drinking, aroma rich. It was $6. This one definitely had a different taste than the others. I liked it in a quirky way and it was the best one to finish off my session. The service was prompt and friendly. We were shown around in the back to see how things were done and where the front used to be. That was a cool bonus! I didn't have any service issues. Overall, I had a great experience here. It's a bummer this place was in Iowa, because I would probably go often. Date of visit: 08/23/2024

The one thing that stood out to me here was their business model. You aren't allowed to fill your own bags. As you browse you are approached and asked if you need a bag. If the answer is yes the helpers fill the bags for you. You tell them what you want and they get it out of the bulk bins. A little different than other bulk candy stores I've been in before where it's more of less self service. From a health and welfare standpoint I can respect this... From a control standpoint I really wasn't a fan. I want to have the bag in my hand. I know roughly how much a pound weighs in my own hand. It's hard to judge the weight when it's in someone else's.

While the building defiantly is of excellent quality, the rest is a disappointing adventure at best. Nothing invites you wanting to stay, enjoy company and sip some wine. Grounds are groomed bare minimum and there are no inviting accents (e.g. flowers or ornaments) offering any appeal. Camping grade watercolors for water dispenser, simple diner style silver wear and plastic dishes. A salad that does not deserve its name. Minimal staff. I had a glas of Eclipse which tasted delightful, similar to grocery store wine at this price. Do yourself a favor and skip this one for now! There are much better wineries available in Iowa. It appears ownership is trying to safe everywhere! Noteworthy: It's 3/4 mile gravel to the property.
