We have biked by Kismet on many occasions and never went in. Because it came up as a good place on Yelp, we decided to check it out, and it was amazing. The coffee was so good we bought a couple pounds of the coffee they used because it was really clean and smooth. It's a cute little shop with a flower store upstairs, and they've got cards, outdoor seating, and cute indoor seating. We highly recommend it, and we will definitely go back. We decided this is our new go-to when we're biking through Cedar Rapids. read more

I wouldn't consider myself knowledgeable in the grand scheme of the matcha world, but I do know what I like after working as a barista and let me just say Kismet just ripped it out of the park. I visited my sister in the neighborhood and was overjoyed when I realized that Kismet was essentially sitting on top of what I must assume is a well that pumps the matcha from matcha heaven. It was so so good. Kind staff and very cool staff, great flower selection, I just loved it here and can't wait to visit my sister again so I can tap into this matcha gold mine. read more

Honestly so cute. You can get flowers by the stem or arrangements. I got their Kismet latte (pistachio and rose). It was delightful. About 12-15 minutes from the airport and really close to downtown. I'll be back next time I'm in town. Oh... also, the barista there was exceptionally sweet! read more

Absolutely love this place. It is a cute locally owned coffee and flower shop. I stop by here at least once every weekend I am in town. I look forward to the Turkish Delight Latte all week. Everyone is incredibly friendly and knew my name after the first day I walked in. My only issue is that they are not open later in the day or else I would stop in immediately after work. This is a must go spot if you are in SE Cedar Rapids. You can thank me later. read more

This place is the best coffee shop in Cedar Rapids. Why 5 stars you ask? The coffee is too good and disappears in seconds. Their specialties drinks make you come back for more. My wife has frequent flyer miles here. I would recommend this to anyone, pour overs, drip coffee, or latte. There is no wrong. They are consistently great. You know what you will get every time. read more

I adore this spot! I would fly back to CR just to grab a cup of coffee here. The aesthetic is so cute. Half coffee shop, half floral shop. Pink walls, beautiful art, good music. All the vibes. I tried their seasonal peppermint pistachio latte. Blew my mind. So good. I have never drank a latte so fast. It was delicious. Can't wait to be back again! read more

Visiting from Chicago, this coffee spot was recommended to us and we loved it. We got an Americano and a Mocha, which were both made to perfection. We got a table upstairs and enjoyed the bustle of this being one of the hot spots of the Cedar Rapids coffee scene. Interesting, friendly people came and went while we sat there and we enjoyed the coffee so much we bought some whole beans to take home and grind. While we were there we struck up a number of conversations but one what was especially interesting was with "Two Dollar Dave" who lost his wife to cancer several years ago and gives a two dollar bill to anyone who supports his fundraising efforts. It was a very special conversation but it appears these kinds of connections are normal for this cute little coffee shop. We will go back and we will take more of us the next time. It is a gemstone and a wonderful way to people watch a friendly population as they caffeinate themselves against the humorless world we live in these days. read more

Lovvvve their matcha with oat milk and pistachio/rose Simple syrup. Cut ambiance with plants, delicious chocolate. Great location near NewBo! read more

Excellent pour over coffee. Top notch espresso drinks & teas, too. While they work fast, it is small & can easily get busy, but worth a little wait from time to time. read more

My husband and I had our floral arrangements done by Maya, and to say we were blown away is an understatement. The bouquet, the boutonnieres, the nest arrangements around our "alter" at our ceremony, arrangements at the reception... everything was truly impeccable. Not only the quality of the arrangements, but the love and intention behind each one was incredibly apparent. She absolutely knocked it out of the park. She and Jeremiah set up and transported all of the arrangements from the ceremony to the reception... So sneaky behind the scenes! I will hype y'all up all. day. We are incredibly thankful for you and for sharing your talents with us and the CR community! Much love, Kit and Shlok read more

Every bit of this location is EXCELLENT. Staff is friendly, intuitive, helpful, patient and vast expertise. Coffee selection is delicious and well-rounded. Service - stellar! Floral work is next level. Offerings are classic yet modern, highest quality, and created and assembled far beyond your expectations. Gifts are unique and so much variety. So grateful to have Kismet in our neighborhood! read more

Hard working craftspeople making bespoke coffees in CR. (It's difficult to find this kind of thing.) Go and appreciate these lovely folks who clearly care about producing a quality product in a sweet, vintage establishment. read more

A very cute coffee shop with beautiful flowers and other pretty items. It's a good stop for gifts, plants, and coffee. We ordered a honey cortado and the crunch berry day- they were great! We will definitely be back. read more

The staff here- so friendly. I knew right away that they'd be down to chat coffee simply by peeping their unique menu. I love good coffee, straight up espresso, drip, cold brew etc. which they offered, but you steal my heart when you have lavender honey lattes, chai lattes, and some seasonal offerings like a "Turkish delight". Come to find out they also have oat milk? Now you have my full attention. Support that with a beautiful interior and the soft smell of flowers?! Well if I lived nearby they'd see me daily. Keep doing what you do kismet! read more

Coffee + flowers + pink walls -- what's not to love?! Additionally, just really friendly & welcoming & knowledgeable about coffee, all things that also matter to me. The barista who took my order gave me 3 espresso choices & I chose something out of my comfort zone for my cappuccino -- something from Costa Rica that was delicious. If I didn't live over an hour away, I imagine I'd be here multiple times a week. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I love this place!!! I'm originally from CR but live in Southern California & this place TOPS anything I've had my entire time there. Absolutely to die (: I think the lady is a one woman show & she does amazing! Will definitely return & Recommend her! read more

What a beautiful addition to Cedar Rapids! I wish I could go every day. When you walk in your nose is hit with the aroma of sweet flowers and espresso. The decor is gorgeous and the shop upstairs feels like a lovely dream. The coffee is superb. I usually get a cappuccino. They give you a few choices for the espresso which not only makes me feel fancy, it proves to be one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had. My daughter begs to go to the "flower coffee shop" every weekend. She gets the crunch berry latte sans espresso. The baristas are welcoming and knowledgeable. After coffee, we look around the shop upstairs. The florist has a true talent. I also like chatting with her! My one hope is that they will eventually have baked goods. I know that the space is small and this could be a challenge. In the meantime I'll settle for a donut from next door. The owners obviously had a vision of a whimsical coffee/flower shop and they delivered. read more

This place is fantastic! From the atmosphere, to the kind people, to the amazing drinks! I always get their herbal teas as there coffee is a bit too floral for me, but their chai tea lattes are easily the best in town! read more
