The High Ground Cafe

Best cold brew coffee in Iowa City/Coralville. The food is great too. Nice selection of sandwiches, soups, salads. They also have gluten free and vegan cookies/muffins for sale as well. Nice, friendly staff.

Stopped here driving between Nebraska and Wisconsin. Made a coffee pit stop off the freeway. I asked them for their lightest roast - I think it was an Ethiopian. It was some of the best coffee I've ever had. Also - great pictures on the walls, very friendly barista and guests. I hope I get the opportunity to visit again!

Very restricted parking, however friendly attentive service and cool appearance, decent food for what it is. Not exactly any different from the next corner cafe in my honest opinion. Fairly high priced around range typical for cafes alike with basic panini sandwiches taking majority if not all of the food menu items, felt very rushed to place an order while scanning menu. Disappointed when they broke the news they do not make any blended drinks, seems like it's a no brainier investment given the cafe titling. Judging from quickness and certainty of response I wasn't the first to ask by far and won't be the last surely. Not much entertainment nor anything to look at, view out of the glass window panels is so restricted to half a block of road and neighboring structures, isn't anything worth viewing regardless.

Extremely friendly and efficient staff! I'm in the IRL frequently for work, so High Ground is very convenient. They have a variety of coffee drinks and enough options for coffee haters like me to be happy. If you haven't tried their chai tea latte, you need to get one!
