Another New Brunch Spot Has Opened in Johnson County [PHOTOS]

Just last month, we told you about Butter & Jam Café, a new restaurant that opened in the former Arby's at 801 1st Ave in Coralville. But, that's not the only brunch spot to pop up in Johnson County this summer! Another restaurant called Golden Yolk Breakfast and Lunch opened its doors in Iowa City this August, too!
