A New 'Cultural Breakfast Cafe' Recently Opened in Cedar Rapids

Northeast Cedar Rapids has a new option for breakfast and lunch! First Light Cafe officially opened its doors last week near the corner of Blairs Ferry Rd NE and Edgewood Rd NE.

About First Light Cafe

I actually discovered First Light Cafe on Facebook, thanks to some photos posted on the Cedar Rapids Area Foodies page. The post from Facebook user Mel Nic gave the new cafe a five-star review!

Described as a "cultural breakfast cafe," First Light Cafe is located at 5480 Buffalo Ridge Dr NE, right next to Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping near Fleet Farm. A post on the business' official Instagram reads:

"We’re bringing you a welcoming space filled with culturally diverse food and drinks, with flavors inspired by different cultures and something for everyone to enjoy."

First Light Cafe has yet to post a full menu online, but their Instagram page has a few photos featuring some of their food and beverage options. That includes Dubai chocolate crepes, French toast, street tacos, matcha, Mazapán and Gansito lattes, and cafe con leche.

The first day in business for First Light Cafe was Friday, October 16th, and they are now open daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more updates on the new restaurant, you can check out their Instagram HERE.
