Jams Coffee Bar

Wonderful place! The decor is really pretty, inside and outside. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the foods are really refreshing! They seem to know that bikers would love to get a treat at a place like this, as they have bike racks around the building, providing plenty of space and the ability to watch your bike as you eat. Would recommend for sure!

Incredible place. Great atmosphere, variety of seating options (and drinking options!), and plethora of goods from local artists. Right off the bike trail, which seems to cater to a big population of bikers. (Plus attached to the yarn and gift store?! What a bonus!)

We were on the beginning of our road trip and I always love to find a new coffee shop to start our day of driving. I found this one and noticed it was also on the nearby bike trail which would allow us to stretch our legs before climbing back into our van. How great that a small community can support a nice business like this! And a bonus to someone like me who loves to search out unique cafes during our travels.
The place is so inviting and welcoming. We sat in two different spots while there just to enjoy the experience. The young ladies working were very kind and helpful. I was going to be a bit disappointed at first when I saw the many bottles of pre-made drink flavors, but then I noticed they had their own cold foam toppings. I had pistachio which was not only delicious, but thick and creamy, and melted into my cold press delightfully. Seriously, the commercial coffee shops fail in comparison to this stuff! We also had some other coffee and a pastry. Good as well. They have wine and beer, too, and we couldn't help but buy a can each of a locally brewed beer to take along for later.
We hit the trail for a bit and left Urbana happy campers!
If you live here, go here :). If you are driving through, take the few minutes to get off the highway, and stop in.
I'm very sure we will be back as we drive this stretch down to the Gulf Coast more than once a year.
See you again in September -- if not before!

We absolutely love the atmosphere of Jams as well as the awesome staff.
Jams is a great place to go for a morning cup of coffee (their cinnamon rolls are the best around) or just for a quiet afternoon in the outdoor seating area.
Jams has been a great addition to Urbana.

Came for the first time for the coffee on my sister in laws recommendation. Will come again for the CROISSANTS!!! 🥐.

OMG those croissants, now I’m not an expert but I’ve had my share of high quality pastry croissants. And this was sooooo much like the greats I’ve had before. Quite literally at first bite I was hollering from excitement in my car. I had crumbs aallll over myself. I don’t care, I loved it!

Cappuccino was fine. They offer a small, medium and large, traditionally cappuccinos are just about a 7 ounce may be a 5 ounce drink, no bigger.

Cookie was fine. If they ask you if you want it microwaved, get it microwaved.

The space itself is so pleasant to be in and look around a touch overwhelming since they sell all sorts of things but I think one adapts.

GET THE CROISSANT!

Update: cinnamon rolls greets high marks too. From the looks of it it looked like it needed more icing but it has plenty and the cinnamon-sugar innards are gooey delicious 👍👍

Great selection of coffee and pastries. Lots of items to chose from if you need a quick gift for someone.

Surprised at the size and how well the staff works together. Great seasonal brew options. Coffee tastes like coffee, with no burnt or bitter taste. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy. The sheer size makes it feel homely. Great place to go if working on a laptop or just sit and relax.

What a great addition for northern Benton Co. Great coffee options, fresh pastries, ice cream, glass of wine or a beer & local IA products. The atmosphere is second to none. Always a smiling face to greet & serve you. Live music on the patio on summer evenings is a great option as well.

Jams is a great addition to our community. The coffee is amazing, adult drinks and food on Wed and Thursday nights and great atmosphere. The owners are awesome!

Great place for a cup of coffee! Best I’ve had. Stop inside and enjoy treats you won’t find anywhere else. Or, if you’re in a hurry, the drive thru works too.
