The Brim Coffeehouse

This is a must-do when passing through Iowa/Elkader! The food was 10/10 (I got a smoothie, half sandwich, and chips and it was the perfect amount of food and tasted great!), the staff could not have been friendlier, and it is attached to a super cute shop for gifts! The atmosphere was quaint with great music.

The Brim is a little peace of Heaven in beautiful downtown Elkader! The coffee, sandwiches, desserts, speciality drinks, you name it on the menu and you'll never be disappointed. The atmosphere of The Brim is one of a kind. You're always greeted walking in the door as if they've all known you forever! This is exactly what small town Iowa is.

It was a special treat! Coffee & bagel sandwich were great!

Made a stop in Elkader on a school field trip from Iowa State, and ate at Brim for lunch. Quick service, and very kind environment. My friend accidentally spilled her coffee, and they were so quick to clean it and even made her a new cup free of charge!! I love hidden gems, and this is certainly one of them. Might have to stop by again if I’m in the area ever again.

We brought new customers in from the Cedar Falls, IA area.

The Brim is more than just place to grab some fantastic coffee and delicious food, it’s an experience! From the charming design, to the friendly service, you feel welcomed as soon as you step in the door and leave excited in anticipation for your next visit!

The Brim is your place to stop if you are looking for delicious food with great service. I could have sat in there all day chatting with the locals and staff. I can’t wait to make another trip back and recommend it to anyone!

Tasty sandwiches and good coffee, lady who answered the phone sounded very unenthusiastic though…

Great customer service and nice coffee and pastries. I love it.

Great smoothies and treats definitely a must go again
