Great vegan options, hot coffee, attentive staff, reasonably priced.
Biscuits and gravy...gravy was odd. Otherwise just OK. Cinnamon roll French toast was good, but the amount of sugar...
I am the world's authority on eggs benedict. I had their special float of eggs benedict and it's probably the tastiest eggs benedict I've ever had in my life. But there was a little something missing. So I'm going to go back two or three times to see if I can figure it out. As of this writing I have been back twice more the restaurant has changed. All for the better.
I always enjoy my time here when I go eat.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cruz's and I have to say, this place is an absolute gem! As someone who moved to Iowa from Los Angeles two years ago, I have been searching for a breakfast spot that can rival the flavors of my beloved LA breakfasts. Cruz's did not disappoint - it easily ranks in my top 5 breakfast spots in Iowa! During my visit, I tried four different dishes and each one was seasoned to perfection. The cinnamon roll French toast was a standout for me, but the garden omelet and chicken and waffles were also delicious. While the chicken and waffles may not have been on par with Roscoes, it was still great food at a very fair price. The environment at Cruz's is fantastic - the establishment is very clean and has an eclectic vibe that I really enjoyed. It reminded me of some of the top restaurants in Des Moines, like Django and Latin Kings, in terms of quality and atmosphere. During my visit, the place was full and buzzing with happy, friendly, and loyal customers. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, adding to the great experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Cruz's to anyone looking for a top-notch breakfast spot in Iowa. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious dishes!
Excellent breakfast today for hubby and I. Both had omelets. Efficient server. Price was $12 less than what we paid for similar breakfast else where yesterday.
The food was excellent as well as the service. I had the classic with over medium eggs, hash browns, toast and fresh coffee. I will say the salt shaker was a little sticky. I sat at the bar.
Classic dinner. Great food.
Love the cinnamon roll french toast! Great portion sizes and very good food.

Great food!
A small restaurant located on Boyson Rd in Hiawatha. Bloody Mary's could have been better but the breakfast shots & eggs Benedict were delicious 😋
My favorite breakfast spot in cedar rapids! Lunch menu is pretty great too! Absolutely amazing service and delicious food! They have alcoholic drinks available now and almost always have a daily special dish.
Great spot for breakfast! Great food and awesome staff!!
I had the Greek omelet which was amazing (the reason I took off one star was because the coffee was only ok ... once they upgrade their coffee it would definitely be 5 stars from me)
I've never had a bad meal. Cruz's Cafe is a fun local diner with generous portions, made to order. Just be prepared to wait as they're often busy.
Great breakfast spot! We were there very early this morning, and it was a nice and quiet place to enjoy a tasty breakfast. I had a waffle with fresh blueberries and warm syrup, and it was very tasty. The waitress was very friendly and was always around to warm up my best friends coffee while we chatted. I love too that it's in close proximity to my home. We will be making this a regular spot to catch up with my friends over coffee and a warm breakfast on Friday mornings.
My first visit. It was quite busy but we were seated quickly. No complaints on the service or the time it took to bring out our food. I ordered an omelet with hashbrowns. The omelet was delicious! The hashbrowns are the only thing I found fault with. They had almost no flavor and were greasy. Even after seasoning all I could taste was the grease. After a couple bites I stopped. I would definitely go back and I would recommend. I just wouldn't order the hashbrowns again.
