Kindred Coffee

This is my favorite coffee shop this side of Iowa. This place is simply wonderful. The food I believe is all gluten free and is very delicious. The baristas remember your name. I was leaving the last time I was there and they used my name. That of course I do not expect. It just is very nice and shows they care about their customers. This place hands down has THE best matcha lattes and I have been to a lot of places to compare. No sweetener unless you ask and it is not watery where you question what you ordered. You can taste the matcha and made perfect every time. Good music is there and not too loud like other places. There is a variety of seating to stools, tables, couch, comfy chairs. There are plants which I think is a great vibe. Cleans the air, nice to look at. Environment is very clean. It is a great place to study for students. Never a problem with parking. One time the meter wasn't working and I had no change. I didn't ask and they gave me 4 quarters which I paid back and tipped. Whenever I'm in Iowa City, I go here! Check it out if you have never been.

SUCH an oasis. Excellent specialty coffee and wonderful gluten free cafe food. While visiting Iowa City for a couple weeks (from San Francisco) this became my usual spot. As a trans-woman, I wasn’t sure where in the area I would be comfortable but all the folx here were absolute sweethearts. Seems like a hub for community too, I know I’d be checking their events board on the regular if I lived here. Check it out.

This food is delicious and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. I got the tostado woth eggs and espresso, which were both impressive. Great gluten free options. Would recommend
