    Oatchata and sweet and creamy
    Melissa L.

    Awesome place- a must stop in Decorah Iowa! Coffee is absolutely delicious. I loved the cold brew drinks including the Nitro mocha and the sweet and creamy. The espresso is also delicious, and the barista recommended an Oatchata drink what was fantastic. Each day I was there the baristas were welcoming and made great recommendations. Refuel smoothie (banana, peanut butter, spinach and almond milk) is a great option for the whole family and addictingly tasty! We realized after a few days that they rotate the art, which might be the best part. Featuring the local artists of the area, the historic brick walls are lined with colorful landscapes and abstracts. Make sure to check it out!

    Note the lack of waffle. So sad.

    Update. All is right in the world. The waffle is back on the Peppa Pig sandwich. I cannot say what an amazing and life altering event this was for the community at large. Thank you for listening to the voice of the people. Your dedication to providing an exceptional coffee and breakfast based experience is second to none.

    A very large place- plenty of room to spread out.  In fact, I don't think  I've ever been in such a large place- two floors.

    Great atmosphere- friendly staff- outstanding coffee shop. Not something you find in a smaller Iowa town. Minneapolis? Sure- Decorah? Not a chance! During my visit the barista absolutely knew what she was doing. My cappuccino was fantastic. Not many can pull off a classic Cortado either. Even if you don't need it get a waffle- no regrets. Banana and Nutella - classic comb. I'd have only asked to preheat the mug. Drink was hot but quickly cooled. A complaint? No!

    My husband and I stopped here while camping at Yellow River. There is a wide variety of drinks, both coffee & alcoholic. My husband had a regular iced coffee and it was extremely smooth. I had a season coconut cold brew and it was amazing. Not too sweet but really creamy. We will return when we are back in the area!

    Sweet & Creamy Cold Brew

    With the world completely upside down, my husband and I have taken to the road to find our all time favorite coffee shops. It's a really fun and easy way to support local and get a caffeine fix at the same time! We drove up to Decorah and tried this gem. While indoor seating was closed, I really enjoyed the whole "order from the window" thing, especially on a beautiful day! It was easy to stay spaced out and the line moved quickly. One of my favorite things to try at coffee shops (if I stray from my iced vanilla latte) is any unique cold brew flavor. I had the Sweet & Creamy Cold Brew and it was great! A little light on the coffee taste, but that's to be expected I suppose. I would have loved to try the pumpkin spice creamy cold brew, but that's a drink for another day. I'm excited to head back this way when everything settles down a bit eventually because I've heard the inside is really cool.

    Oat milk latte

    Impact is doing a great job safely serving up coffee during the pandemic! You currently place your order at their outdoor window, they prepare it inside, and hand it back out to you. We then took our coffee on our walk at Dunning's Spring Park. I tried an oat milk latte and hubby had a drip coffee. Both were great! I peaked through the window at the indoor space, and it looks so cute! Can't wait to try the full Impact experience if we go back to Decorah.

    Tin ceilings and all the coffee stuff

    I'm always looking for a good coffee shop when I'm on the road. Wow, was this place an oasis in the desert. Beautiful historic building all decked out with cool lighting, lots of comfy seating and the cool coffee shop vibe you'd expect. Oh, and yes the coffee was great too. I wish I had tried the Norwegian waffle sandwiches they featured. The couple I saw looked tasty. Staff was professional but maybe not quite as friendly or chatty as I might have liked. The only other ding to this place was their logo/branding--a starbursty coffee bean. But this place is really great! Glad to see this in small town Iowa.

    See all

    Best coffee in town. Great place to meet friends for a caffeinated beverage in the morning or a cocktail in the evening.
