My latte was smooth, hot, creamy and just the right amount of foam, with a pretty heart design on top. The barista was friendly. The day I went, there were more than one group of locals meeting and chatting. So if you don't want the noise, bring headphones or sit at a table on the ground floor. There are many choices of where you can enjoy your beverage of choice.

Their cookies are phenomenal and the coffee is not too bitter which tells me their baristas are properly trained on the espresso machine. Being a barista before, I'm a coffee snob and this place is above average. The book selection is also awesome and there's always someone who can recommend something for you. They also have quiche that is super delicious as well. Sometimes it gets loud when kids come in and parents bring a lot of them but it's nice when that's usually when I leave

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!

Here were my thoughts: Food/Drink: Breakfast Sammy (Small portion but big taste. Not the best breakfast I've ever had yet well above the worst! The aioli knocked my rating up a a point or two for sure. Rating = 7.7/10). Iced vanilla latte (Rock solid latte. It was exactly what I needed to start my week. Nothing flashy but man did that cup get the job done today. Rating = 7.8/10). Service: Nothing to complain about. Drink and food came out quick and accurately. Ambiance: The shop was pretty quiet on this particular morning. I could definitely picture it as a great place to read a book, lock in to some work, or hang out with friends. Overall, this is a great place to get your caffeine fix in the Iowa River Landing area. Also note - this local chain of coffee shops was formerly named "Coffee Emporium" but recently rebranded to "Midnight Coffee" earlier this year.

I love the counter service concept and being able to pick my pastry out of the case before finding a seat. I ordered the breakfast burrito, a lemon poppyseed muffin, and a latte. For brunch catching up with a friend, it was the perfect blend of savory and sweet. And MAN was the breakfast burrito delish - I adore when breakfast items have a hearty serving of avocado, and the burrito struck the perfect balance of avo and egg goodness. The accompanying sauce was also delicious. My only complaint is I'm not a local so I can't visit more often. Definitely give this one a try!

My son had the grand idea to stop by for a brownie and when they walked in we were greeted by a friendly hostess who asked if we needed a table for 4.

The meal was started with some delicious bread rolls, the beers were only $1.50 on happy hour and they even gave us scotcharoos to end our experience!! We are already planning our next trip so I hope to see you there! I promise it won't disappoint!

The service here was great with cheery workers, and the atmosphere here is great for working. It feels like a cozy log cabin on the inside! Caribou misses a 5 star due to the lack of a wow factor when it comes to there coffee. It doesn't quite hit the "OMFG" levels of places like Cafe Saint Pio (Cedar Rapids) or Zoetic (IC / Solon).

It can accommodate a lot of students without ever feeling cramped, and there are tons of outlets which is always a huge win when you're studying. It's the perfect place to get work done alone or catch up with friends over lunch. I haven't tried a ton from the food menu yet, but the Caesar wrap is so good. They also have one of the best iced matcha lattes in Iowa City. The staff is amazing too. Everyone is so nice, cheerful, and genuinely helpful, which makes the whole place feel really welcoming. The music is always great, the space is decorated so nicely, and I love the pencil wall. The bathrooms are clean and well kept, and they really have everything you could possibly need. They even offer a student discount, which makes it an even better spot for college students. Definitely one of my favorite places to go in Iowa City!
