Roasters Library Edition

I've ordered drinks from here but never food before this time. And after the really bad experience we had here I would NOT recommend the food, at all. I ordered a Matcha & Cookie which were both fine. I also ordered a Kid's Turkey Sandwich Meal & a Kid's Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich. My kids didn't eat any of it. The turkey was discolored and looked old...and they put mayo on a kids sandwich 🤦🏻‍♀️. The Peanut Butter Jelly wasn't toasted and fell apart after a couple bites which was very messy and thus ended up in the trash as well. And the only chips they had were not a flavor anyone wanted. Worst of all however was the Chicken Sandwich. I ate half which dripped grease everywhere and when I inspected the second half to see if there was something I could do to keep from getting grease all over the place I noticed a hair in the Chicken...needless to say that also ended up in the kitchen. The food was overpriced to begin with (and more than listed on their menus) and with so many inconsistencies and the hair. I would stay away from the food all together.

First time trying out Roasters! I had the avocado toast (comes with pickled veggies on top!) and the soup of my dreams that included sweet potato/squash/carrot/curry and a London fog to drink. Everything was excellent, with fast and friendly service.

I ordered a Strawberry and Banana smoothie with milk as my base and it was so refreshing and good!! The cookies are huge too and very flavorful. Not to soft but not to hard either . My kid loved it!! The staff is also super friendly and everyone there made sure we were taking care of.

Roasters at the library is my favorite coffee shop in town! The spend time making sure drinks are made with care and everything I've ordered, including all my special order items, are AMAZING! I treat myself to one of their Gluten Free Monster Cookies every week and they are soft, full of flavor and enormous. Chocolate chip cookies are incredible too! Roasters offers unique soups, their bean and ham...comforting and delicious. I've enjoyed lots of their different sandwiches and loved everything I eaten. Best part of Roaster is the incredible staff. These women care about people. They are generous and kind and they treat all library patrons with respect and dignity. They take time to get to know their customers and remember names and favorite drink orders. This is a local business I would recommend to everyone, for a great drink, yummy food, and Iowa kindness!

I think the LIbrary Roasters is a great place to eat at. To me they have consistantly been helpful, friendly and conscientious when it comes to preparing my orders. I have had a breakfast on their menu where the eggs were done perfectly and they even had toast that was glutin free which I wanted to try. The drink I ordered, a London Fog, was exactly balanced between the vanilla and the tea. It was very tasty and I did order that beverage from them again when I ordered a lunch recently. I like also that they go the extra mile to accomodate me. I decided one time to change my meal to go and they easily adjusted to my request with a cheerful attitude and efficiency. I was late for a meeting I forgot I had until that moment.The time I had lunch, I ordered the turkey sandwich as a wrap instead and I was not disappointed at all. They offered a few choices for the bread part and I like that. The wrap had a generous portion of the turkey and veggies just the way I like it besides a yummy dressing. They listened and answered my questons so I could choose what I wanted from what they had to offer. Kudos to the staff. I plan on returning again to enjoy the service and savor the fresh and delicious food listed on the menu. It is a great way to enjoy a meal with so many books around. A perfect combination!
I recommend you give it a try. Thank you.

Went during my lunch to get a drink and something to eat. I love that everything was made fresh to order. Super friendly workers and cozy place to go!

Great coffee, great food, and great service. Try the raw coffee juice and their GIANT cookies. They’re doing good work!

First time getting the Breakfast Bowl it was absolutely delicious. customer service was great as well.

This place is so cute and the baristas are the sweetest people! Everything is FRESH and so good!

The staff was so nice and helpful, made my coffee just how I wanted it!
