Stillwater Coffee Company

This location is on the complete other side of town from me. But I had to head over to try the Girl Scout cookie latte flight! It was super cute, and extremely well thought out. They did have a sign posted that it could take up to 15 min to get a flight made, but I don’t think it took that long. The flavors were very good; they really captured the cookies. But the lattes were barely warm. Maybe since they were small amounts and served in glass they didn’t retain any heat. Or maybe they were supposed to be served cold, but I didn’t see that detail and they didn’t have any ice. I also had a breakfast sandwich that was delicious and balanced out the super sweet lattes.

The location is unique and adorable. It could have been cleaner, but it was hopping and the small staff may have been overwhelmed. If they were you’d never know it because they were super friendly and looked like they were having a great time.

I’ll be back!

After a different coffee shop fail, we happened upon Stillwater and decided to give it a go. It was my first time there and what a neat location! Very nicely set up, great waterfront view, thoughtfully decorated with a funky pink&black music theme. The have a wine bar for events.

We ordered two lattes. They were pretty good, but not amazing. If you order brewed coffee & eat in the shop, you have to pay for refills (which I don’t love). I liked the simple menu and the friendly service. The lattes came out quickly.

I would go here again, but more for an event or experience and not for my every day coffee stop.

So good. Nice atmosphere. The staff was kind to two newbies. Excellent food. I highly recommend the pour-over. What a strong buzz with the dark roast. Wow. Clear your afternoon. Birds nest in the gravel outside. It's wild.

Got the back stage pass which is a latte sampler/flight. It comes with 4 of their staple lattes. They were good and just the right amount of each to sample them. Though I'm not the biggest fan of iced coffee, they were still good. I have had hot lattes previously and they were really good. I would recommend this place as it has a really nice vibe with outside seating in their patio, as well as seating down by the pond. There are tables that look out over the pond as well. The one downside that is more personal preference than anything is they do not serve in real cups if you stay there. You still get paper cups. I really like having real cups if I'm staying there.

Loved it for our first visit! Will definitely go back. Tried the Spring Flight. Very good!! The Britney smoothie was also very good and large sized. The service was quick and very friendly staff.

The ham and egg quiche had a very buttery biscuit crust. I tried the spring flight of coffee for a treat. The aromatic rose petals made for an indulgent sip. The ambiance has been upgraded to be very positive and inclusive.

One of the coolest coffee shops I've been too! Unique & fun! Tasty drinks & food!

Only had a Thai tea latte so can't comment on any food, but the latte was good, the environment is fun and we were able to sit outside. They even had mini pink traffic cones to protect a killdeer bird who was nesting her eggs in the rock bed by the parking lot. So we had coffee and a show 😉 pretty cool they did that!

Stillwater is consistently my favorite coffee spot in Cedar Rapids! The staff is always friendly and attentive and the coffee is phenomenal. Highly recommend trying the Purple Haze.

Nice coffee shop. Staff was awesome. Interior was clean and there was plenty of seating.
