Feedwell Kitchen and Bakery — Restaurant in Cedar Rapids

This experience was a great one. The wife and I decided to drop by for the first time and review. Details below.

Restaurant Layout/Vibe Rating - 5 stars

The location is pretty awesome. Once you enter the doors you are inside an open concept area. I like how spaced apart it is. The lighting is amazing! Overall we loved the feel. They even have a separate room that can be called and held for an occasion. They also have public restrooms that are nice and clean.

Customer Service Rating - 5 stars

This has been one of the best experiences customer service wise since Covid has been around. Soon as we entered the location the staff greeted us! Say what?? Is this CFA ;P. Honestly though, I was so happy that the employees seemed happy and were paying attention to guests even though it was busy.

I wanted to ask the employees more questions for this review, so I went ahead and got back in line. I only had 1 guest in front of me, who was quite chatty. One of the team members noticed I was waiting (only for maybe a minute) and they went out of their way to open another register just to help me quickly, talk about impressive! I hope the owner or manager is able to read this, because I can’t say enough how awesome your staff and service was. Great job to the Feedwell team!

Food Rating - 5 stars

We tried a few different items. A vegan muffin that was wonderful. A sugar cookie (it was soft, chewy and out of this world)! Then we both ordered the egg/cheese biscuit. One with ham, the other with bacon. They came out so fresh, it couldn’t have been any fresher! For these biscuits I wasn’t aware when ordering that I could use a different bread type. For me, the way they come is a little heavy. However, after speaking with the team, they said we had multiple choices and next time I am definitely going to try the baguette. Very pleased with all food options!

We came back and tried this sandwich on baguette and croissant. Croissant was a winner for our family hands down!

Turkish Coffee - 4 star

Very delicious, a little hotter would make it perfect! Love it :)!

Overall we loved our experience and I would give it 5 stars all day if it stays like this....

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Hands down my fav breakfast place near Iowa City now. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Staff are super friendly and helpful with your questions about the menu. The design of the place is cute and full of light. Extra plus that it is well kept and clean to my liking.

Where to start on the yummy food…

Pastry board for two can easily feed 4 people depending on what you choose. We chose the Pumpkin scone, Orange Cranberry scone, and the Jerusalem Bagel. The scones were perfectly sweet and crumbly and taste so good with a tea/coffee. The flavors in the scones didn’t really need the butter and jam sides, but that is a plus according to preference. The Jerusalem Bagel was to die for: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the smell/taste of the sesame seeds was lovely. Added plus: bagel is huge and the EVOO and thyme to dunk the bagel in made it more delicious.

The Grain Bowl was very unique. I never came across a mix like this even though I am familiar with all the food ingredients of this dish. I would say this is more of a heavier breakfast/brunch. The taste is very flavorful (similar to Arab/Mediterranean dishes). Really good to share and indulge in.

You can’t go wrong with the Standard if you like a good egg sandwich. A bit small if you are hungry.

We got the PB&G and subbed the Prosciutto for grilled veggies. This was so simple, yet so yummy. The goat cheese had some lemon zest in it which just made the taste pop, and the veggies were perfectly sweet.

Definitely will visit again and will...

We ordered assorted pastries for the doctor, nurses and ultrasound techs at the maternal fetal medicine office. We just wanted to show our appreciation for everything they did for us leading up to the birth of our baby with Trisomy 18. The owner took it upon herself to deliver them to the hospital where we were at so we could take them to the doctor. When asked if my wife had paid, she it’s on us. What a great gesture from a stranger to another stranger. She said my husband and I would like to pay it forward. Something so small meant a lot to us when we were going through a trying time with our newborn. We didn’t get to try any of the pastries but they all looked amazing. So amazing we ordered 4 dozen more for the NICU nurses and Ronald McDonald dining room. This time we made sure to “pay it back” to them. I will also be trying their cinnamon rolls but would give them a 5 of 5 just based on looks. Feedwell appears to have a very caring/giving owner and the small gesture of giving us the first dozen free for us to give away was enough said about the owner’s character. I picked up the 4 dozen from their location this time and it’s very clean with friendly workers. Highly recommend and will definitely be stopping by when we’re back in Cedar...
