Reviews for The High Ground Cafe in Iowa City, IA
A long-time Iowa City favorite. Plenty of drinks and food options. Lots of seating.
The vibe inside was very warm, welcoming, and relaxed. The lady at the counter was very sweet. I got an Ethiopian pourover that... was delicious. I'm looking forward to trying this bag of beans later. Read more

stopped here on a cross country road trip. good coffee. they offer vegan and gluten free pastries ? although not the best... tasting, definitely nice to have the options. the atmosphere is very good, would definitely study here Read more
Great coffee, great vibe, service is not great but not terrible. They serve you, they do their job, they're just not... particularly amazing or kind about it. (Not to me, anyway, although fem presenting friends of mine have gotten free pastries andcoffee from the male baristas). That aside, worth it just for good coffee and comfortable outdoor seating.

Went one morning, wednesday 0730, with a coworker to experience the pour over french style coffee. Since school is out for... awhile the shop was quiet and inviting to sit and enjoy a quality cup of coffee. I chose to drink the pour over cream bean, noton the downloadable menu, with a shot of expresso. The chocolate chip cookie purchased assisted in offsetting the bitterness ofthe coffee. The store is more than a coffee shot and has a robust menu of teas, beers, food, wines and much more. The taste isbetter than any chain coffee shop I have been too. You get what you pay for and I spent around $7 for my morning. One 16oz cupkept me going for hours, very strong. Friendly service and staff, and I would revisit and try another flavor any day of theweek! Read more
Not impressed with the coffee, the espresso, was dry and tasted burnt. The service sucked, but their food is amazing!
