“The perfect temperature, just the right amount of honey (which also tastes like a local high quality honey), and the espresso is smooth.”

What customers say

Update 4/16/25: having a study sesh for an electrical exam decided to have a black cup of light. They have decaf light or dark roast as drip coffee options. The light is on point, nothing added.

Just walked in the door maybe 20 minutes ago. I ordered the bacon and cheddar quiche, and a honey oat milk latte. Both of the items were so classic and simple, and amazing. The quiche reminded me of something I’d eat at my aunt Emmy’s house (amazing cook), and the latte was literally perfect (honey oat milk).

Whenever I'm visiting Waterloo I make a point of stopping and getting a sidecar seasonal latte and I buy some of their espresso beans to take home. Today I tried the Dolly Parton latte which was cherry cake batter and it was lovely. Delicious and I love supporting this small business.

Excellent service, coffee, and food. One of the many surprises for my work trip from AZ. I also bought the Kick-start espresso whole bean to enjoy at home and it was delicious. Tons of Crema!
