Super chill, so elegant. The food is amazing. The pastry was so flaky and flavorful, perfect for the coffee. the Pandeyucca waffles are a must try - waffles that are at once fluffy and chewy. The people are lovely and elegant as well. You won’t regret stopping here

This a lovely little hidden gem of a coffeeshop that is tucked into the bluff by the 4th St Elevator in Dubuque ❤️ The kind couple who own this shop moved here from Columbia and have family ties to Dubuque... the beans come from their family farm in Colombia and are roasted here... love that farm-to- table concept and the coffee truly tastes wonderful... there's a certain bouquet of flavors that I can't quite describe. Today, my friend and I enjoyed Spiced Mochas and Chocolate Croissants... both were delicious! Make sure to take some beans home with you - ground to your specification. This is a wonderful place for a date, visit with friends, or even to sit quietly and read a book or people watch out the windows. Added bonus - the historic building has charm and is tastefully decorated. Add

This is a great addition to the Dubuque area with wonderful coffee that is akin to European quality that I love. And wonderful food options that you can get nowhere else with a focus on quality and taste. I recommend the sour doughnuts made locally and seasonally filled and the large raspberry morning glories that are a fruit filled roll of heaven and flakiness! The service is wonderful and atmosphere intimate! I love this place! One of my new favorites!

The place is so cute! The latte tasted amazing, and there were plenty of baked goods and menu offerings to choose from for breakfast.

Exceptional coffee with exquisite service. We had a V60 of a natural Columbia and an amazing cold brew with passion fruit and mango. Tasty fresh and very well balanced. My daughter's passion fruit Italian ice was very sophisticated. The staff is great and the vibe inside is perfect. Stop here! They roast their own coffee too! It is near the elevator, which is great. Grab a coffee and ride up and enjoy the view.
