Happy National Coffee Day 2026!

What makes a coffee shop great? The answer varies by person. Sometimes it's the cozy atmosphere, sometimes it's the friendly staff, sometimes it's the baked goods or the food that they offer, sometimes it's the large selection of beverages... and sometimes it's simply the delicious coffee!

In honor of National Coffee Day, I used Google Reviews to find the top coffee shops across Eastern Iowa. Although some people love their big chains like Starbucks, Scooter's, Dunkin', Dunn Brothers, and 7 Brew, we've chosen to highlight locally-owned shops and small chains that are unique to Iowa!

Now, without further ado, these are the coffee shops in our half of the state that have 4.7-stars or higher with 50 or more reviews on Google:
