Caffe Crema is still a great«book & latte» spot. I haven’t been in since it was Café del Sol, so it’s clearly been awhile, but the new staff is extremely friendly, and my drink(vanilla latte) was delicious. I love having a cozy coffee shop attached to the library. The music is perfect – not too intrusive if you want to start your book, but enough background noise if you’re catching up with a friend. It’s small, but with plenty of different seating options. The menu now includes pour overs, which seem to be popping up everywhere, and bubble tea, along with the usual espresso drinks.

I love Café Crema at the Coralville Library! Its a small location, but with comfortable seating and it’s very rarely crowded. it’s run by a family and the lady who is usually at the shop is as sweet and helpful as can be. Service is fantastic. Many of their daily offerings are baked at the library location, so it always smells fantastic. Coffee’s great! Location’s great! We love this place!

Great place for a quick pick me up while in the Coralville area. It is a small place but never overcrowded. Large smoothie selection and you can make it a bubble tea smoothie for just 50 cents more. Well worth it for those tapioca pearls. The mango bubble tea smoothie was delicious. Will be back soon to try the rest.

Lovely spots in the entrance to the Coralville Library that took over for the Café del Sol that was here for a number of years. Same great options as at the mother ship a mile or so away. Less seating, but tends to be a lot less busy. Excellent spot to stop in and grab something on your way in to study or on your way out.

This is the second location for this coffee shop that is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The library attached shop is smaller than the main location but less trafficked so it isn’t a problem. There are a few tables, but if you want to study then the library provides more than enough room for that. There are also a few comfortable chairs arranged for socializing. I’m not sure if they offer siphon press here but they grind by the cup and the coffee is good. One minor inconvenience is the lack of support for loyalty rewards like the main location has. Also, no porcelain cups. The staff is friendly, the coffee is great, and it provides a nice place to enjoy your brew. You can’t ask for much more in a coffee shop.
