Best coffee in Iowa City! Michael and Connor have created an amazing space for not just incredible coffee, but also a beautiful community. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, the coffees rotate from specialty roasters around the country, and the vibes are always at 100. Daydrink is a must stop in Iowa City and I always make it a priority to go in when I’m visiting from Chicago. Not to mention the Gettin Figgy with it is the most incredible flavored latte/matcha drink I’ve ever had. Support local, support Daydrink!
While Daydrink without question serves the most unique black coffee and drinks in town, each member of the Daydrink team goes out of their way to make this little shop into a community. Beyond that, it's great to have a coffee shop pushing for sustainability. Getting used to returning my glass jars or bringing my own mug can be tough to remember sometimes, but it has quickly become a normal part of my routine. I can't recommend this place more -- particularly if you're into trying unique coffee roasted here in Iowa City by the Daydrink team themselves, and from some of the best roasters in the world.
Great coffee. Excellent service. Kind people. Sustainable practices. Fantastic all around! <3
This is the most unique and creative coffee shop I've been to. Their drinks focus on the origin of their various beans (some of which they roast themselves!) and bringing out the best of the natural flavors their coffees provide. Their flavored drinks are fantastic and go far beyond the caramel/vanilla/hazelnut you find at most shops, and they're still careful to let the coffee's origin characteristics shine through. All the baristas are super friendly and knowledgeable (shoutout to Tucker!) and half the fun of going is to see their artistic process.
The vibes at Daydrink are unmatched. Friendly service, amazing lighting, and great coffee.
The quality of this coffee competes with any big city hipster coffee shop I've been to, let alone in Iowa. The interior space is awesome, located right off the Iowa City ped mall, and they serve to-go drinks in reusable mason jars. To me, the fun twist is that it also shares a space with an indoor plant store. Plus the owner is cool. Highly recommend.
Love the folks and coffee at Daydrink! You can either go in to order or order at their window. Not the fastest coffee shop, but it’s definitely worth the wait. Take a few minutes to chill out and enjoy the vibe.
Love the lattes and that they will switch new flavors in/out (although I will miss the Bam Bam latte (fruity pebbles cereal milk) if they stop making it, didn’t think I would like it but I love it!They serve in a glass jar with a lid, so the drink can’t be too hot or you couldn’t hold it. So if you like your drink very hot, maybe ask about other options. You can return the glass so they can reuse it!
Yumbertown. They have great coffee, fun lattes, and only do reusable glass containers. Don’t worry; they’ll give you one.
Amazing coffee and great atmosphere! I’d highly recommend stopping by for some coffee made by talented baristas!
