Cortado Mediterranean Cafe

Ordered an iced tea and a lavender match a latte. Delicious and great for surviving the hot weather! Staff was friendly and the place has a lovely vibe. Missed the donuts this time but I'm told they're amazing!

I have gone to this place multiple times now and have never had a good meal. I decided to give them one last chance so I went and ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese on a ciabatta. Not only did I have to wait forever for my food, but when I received it, the bacon and egg were so burnt to the point where I couldn't tell if I was eating food or char. I also like to get ciabatta buns because they are usually soft but this bun was very hard and stale. When I tried to get them to remake it or get a refund for my food they refused. From now on if anyone is thinking of going here, I recommend going to the Bluebird Diner where you get real food and great service. This place is a disgrace and a disappointment to the food world. If Gordon Ramsay were to eat at this place he would 100% spit out his food and call it rubbish. If you have the slightest thought of eating here, I would NOT recommend it.

This coffee place has some really good eats. I wish they got more love! There's some real thought in their menu, even the simple stuff is well crafted. I particularly enjoy their mediteranian inspired stuff.

I also think the decor is super cute, and the high ceilings create a spacious comfortable feeling. I don't mind hanging out for a while, that's for sure.

My favorite coffee shop that I went to in Iowa City. The outside patio has a great view of the campus and the coffee was really good! The overall styling was really nice and cohesive, which is a bonus. No WiFi, but the point of the place is to actually talk to people or just sit and read a book.

Best coffee in town, and delicious fresh food. Their chocolate chip cookies are served straight from the oven! Their hummus plate is also excellent. Bright space that is perfect for hanging out. They do not have wifi.

I ordered a half hummus plate and a half salad. The salad was under filled and only had romaine, tomato, and cucumber with a tiny bit of fresh mozzarella chopped super finely to make it look like there was a lot. I paid extra for chicken and artichoke hearts, which were forgotten. Then the plate took 20 minutes to make, even though I was the only person in the shop who ordered food. Hummus was weirdly really watery and thin. Will not be coming back for food. Baristas were nice and coffee was good. But adding the chicken and artichokes somehow brought my $10 bowl to $16 and they didn't even remember to put them on...

This place has the best coffee in Iowa City and the best vibe! Feels a bit like a European coffee house but with a full menu of delicious eats and amazing pastries. Love sitting there and taking in the scene. Excellent service and fast when you need it to be!

This is the best coffee shop in Iowa City. As well as contender for the best in Iowa. The pastries are some of the best I've ever had. Owner is always there working, remembered my coffee order even when they were super busy. Prices are fair for the quality

The staff there are extremely nice and helpful. I loved the atmosphere and it was extremely clean inside. The iced mocha I had was extremely good and I would highly recommend this place. I think I've found my new favorite coffee shop in Iowa city

I had the lamb shawarma wrap and hummus with pita. The lamb had quite a bit of fat and grisel on it, but the wrap taste was good and it was a good size. The hummus and pita could have used one more pita with the order to match the amount of hummus given, but the taste was also good. Giving it four stars. A solid selection for lunch with good options and flavors are good, but a little pricey and quality of meat may be inconsistent.
