Roasters Coffee House

Wow! It doesn't get much better than this! Fresh roasted coffee, delicious pastries, friendly fast service. Nice atmosphere.

Over the last couple weeks I, or some friends of mine, have been sampling the offerings this shop has to offer and I must say, they do not disappoint. The owner truly understands his coffee, how to source, and master roasts every bean to perfection. Understanding that each coffee has its own unique personality defined by it's region, soil, altitude, rain, and processing is an uncommon trait in many coffee houses these days. The staff is friendly and communicates the flavor profiles of each roast. Not to mention their food is delicious as well.
All in all, if you are looking for that traditional coffee house experience with staff that is truly passionate about what they do?.....Roasters is the place for you.

Peace, love, and the perfect cup of coffee ☕

Good coffee and treats. Friendly staff. They used to have a cooler with other snacks and juice my kids love. They still have some but not quite as many options. Still a great place. My father is really picky on his coffee but enjoys them as well.

It was my first time visiting and I am extremely disappointed. My to go order is always an iced hazelnut latte. The latte came out and it looked great but it tasted so bad. It’s extreme bitter. There is absolutely no taste of hazelnut. I feel like I’m just drinking straight espresso.

Great coffee shop, especially if you like to buy your own freshly roasted beans. Coffee is excellent, with many drip choices available. All the common espresso drinks as well. Great treats like scones and cookies. Very friendly service every time. They also have a nice little rewards system which seems to give us a lot of deals. We buy our beans from here. They have a really good selection and all beans have their roast date labeled so you know it's fresh. Highly recommend.

Best coffee in Cedar Rapids. I'm not sure why it seems like every other coffee house here wants to burn their coffee. I definitely recommend stopping in on Tuesday for their Jamaican Me Crazy roast. I even buy a pound of those beans from them to keep my home stocked up. Their service is fantastic. I really have nothing bad to say about this place.

Edit: I do need to add one thing about this place. The restaurant itself is still outstanding to me, but there's a group of elderly customers who regularly come in and stay for a while. It's obvious they are in there frequently and they treat the restaurant like it is their home. I stopped counting the number of times I've seen one of them be rude to another customer.

Roasters is its own little community, with a lot of regulars who look forward to seeing each other to grab a drink and go, or to stay a while and chat. Of course, new visitors are always welcome and I appreciate how well the staff work to create a fun, receptive atmosphere.

The coffee selection is diverse. Throughout the morning and afternoon there are often six different brewed roasts ready to go: four choices hitting various levels of roast (light to dark), a flavored roast, and decaf. Their coffee beans are roasted inside the store, so sometimes you are treated to the smell of a in-process roast as you step out of your vehicle in the parking lot. Need some beans to take with you? You’ll have over a dozen choices, and they are happy to grind them for you. We also buy bags of fresh coffee beans as gifts for traveling friends.

We had a very negative experience this morning. My wife placed an online order for pickup after 715 AM. For reference, the website, online ordering, Facebook, and store sign all say this location opens at 7 AM. When we arrived it was dark and the door was locked. We waited until almost 730 AM before a worker showed up. We asked for a refund. The employee went inside, kept the door locked, and only after waiting another 20 minutes did she come out to tell us she refunded our card. She did not apologize and another customer waiting actually apologized for her. Extremely disappointed in this experience. We will not be returning.

In house bean roasting, great service, amazingly fresh coffee. Come in a Saturday morning and you will see the Barista knowing many of the customers drinks before the even walk up to the counter, that tells you something. Great to see an independent small business that does it all right. Best coffee in town and tied for the best in the CR area in my opinion, both independent.

Roasters Coffee House is a local favorite to many. They have a unique arrangement with the Mediterranean restaurant next door in which they sharing seating, allowing for bigger crowds. Roasters, aptly named, roasts their own beans and supplies many businesses around town. I use their beans for at-home espresso and French-press coffee, and their bean prices are competitive. They have a full drink menu and offer a good number of freshly baked snacks. The employees are top notch, I always am greeted with smiles.
