2017 Review: When you are looking for local character and good quality - along with meeting a variety of other needs - Brewhemia checks all the boxes. It's a great place to meet business associates or friends, as it has diverse seating options. They offer a menu with a wide array of gourmet coffee, food, and other drink choices. I am regularly there for breakfast and enjoy their egg croissant sandwich or biscuits and gravy. For lunch, I have had their curry chicken sandwich. It isn't a strange sight to see someone sitting for hours here reading a book or doing work on their laptops. It is located in one of the richest cultural areas in downtown Cedar Rapids. 2021 Update: Much of the above is still true except maybe there have been some menu changes since then and that I get the bacon burrito for breakfast there now. I love the burrito - its a great value, filling and flavorful. Comes with a homemade salsa and cream cheese in an environmentally friendly box when you're getting it to go. Brewhemia is the hottest breakfast and coffee game in town now, so a good "life hack" is using the order online feature before you go.

I'm going to preface this with the fact that I travel a lot for work. When I travel, I like to explore the locally-owned, small business options because they are usually the ones that make their craft with love. I didn't feel that when I visited Brewhemia last week. Maybe it's what we ordered or who was working in the kitchen on the morning of January 24th, but, none of the food or coffee was really anything to write home about. Both the avocado toast (which became more costly after I paid to add more toppings) and the breakfast bowl were so bland that my Dad and I had a difficult time choking them both down. And, we were so hungry! I'm talking so-plain that not even hot sauce can jazz it up. The food lacked seasoning but it's not food that can be saved by adding salt and pepper after it's cooked. The lattés were also quite unremarkable. We boxed up the food to eat later, hoping that some of the flavors will meld together and enhance one another but they didn't so we tossed them. I hate wasting food. I'm so disappointed because the restaurant is so beautifully put-together and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. I'll come back before my contract in Cedar Rapids is up and look forward to seeing what's different 🤞🏼

Brought a friend with me. His first visit. We each tried the Trashmore. Both agree we prefer an omelet once we tried it. But this was okay. Though, the avocado choice (me) was the equivalent to a tablespoon amount. Not proportional to the meal. The hashbrowns were crispy though too much grease used to brown. Had I known this was the style wouldn’t have gotten hash brown as the base. This was the greasiest browns I’ve ever received. Since everything is roasted on the grill the overall amount of grease is too much, for me. No doubt influenced by me not using this grease for personal cooking. Next time I’ll be aware. Try something different. When first opened the omelet was my go to. Noticing the owners aren’t working or doing the cooking think the food isn’t as good as when first opened. Or, at least I didn’t see anyone I recognized. The staff is friendly and big smiles. The cook did a great job doing basted eggs. The eggs were perfect to request. The pie tin was super cool for service. Fit the atmosphere.

2022: This has become my favorite breakfast spot and our go-to when guests are in town. Yes, it's noisy and busy; the wait for food on weekends can take up to 30 minutes. However, it's worth the wait. Try breakfast tacos or breakfast bowls made your way with meats or veggies or both. Baked goods are tasty but not 5* worthy. Don't let your hot tea steep too long or it will be bitter: they use 4x more loose leaf tea than us needed. I'm not a latte person, but half-caff Americano and brewed coffees are fine. They took adequate precautions and communicated well in social media during the worst of Covid and because of that I'd give 6* if I could. 2019: Beautiful space, plenty of tables and seats at counters. Very young but friendly staff. Busy on the Sunday I was there (twice). Coffee is meh. Cherry coffee cake had about three cherries and was dry.

This is easily the best coffee/cafe here in Iowa. The food is always fresh and amazing. The lattes are consistently great. No burned shots. They make their vanilla and caramel for the lattes IN HOUSE. Don't pass up the vanilla latte! It's run by the sweetest family who are always positive as are their baristas. They'll take the time to explain anything about the menu, you never feel rushed. Please visit this shop and see for yourself. I'm picky and they have always accommodated. They have intolerance options too.
