Delicious coffee and hot tea! I am a tea drinker and you know they have good tea when you get asked multiple questions! My husband loves coffee and when he does not have to add any sugar, he knows it good coffee! Lastly, don’t miss out of carrot muffin, delicious!

Quaint coffee shop with fresh muffins and toasted bagels. Friendly service. Relax in living room furniture with no TVs to disturb your morning. No decaf here though.

Great place for coffee, currently dont knownif the inside is open to dine in, but still a great place to get coffee!

Saints Rest Coffeehouse is an awesome place. Friendly help, great coffee, muffins & cookies!

A nice study and work spot with kind people and a great cup of coffee.

Had the iced chai tea and it was delicious!! 10/10 would order again.

Great beverages! Laid back atmosphere. Good little deli in the back at lunch time!

This is a great place to sit and enjoy a hot drink and read or do quiet work. The staff is always warm and friendly. I havent had trouble finding a little nook to tuck myself into and work. Its such a pleasant place to spend a few hours.

In the first minute, Ashley tuned in on me and recommended a perfect coffee drink. Plus, I came for a friendly chat with my coffee and Ashley gave me both. Other guests also greeted me too. I am a cross country traveler that visits local coffee shops. This one gets an A+ from me.

This is one very special and awesome coffee shop to go too.

Great coffee and ambience. Baristas are friendly and conversational.

Great coffee and coffee drinks. The pastries look good. Friendly staff and customers too

It has really good italian cream or regular Sodas.

I absolutely dislike the syrup method of coffee flavoring i.e. Caramel Machiato or Caramel Latte..... I want real Caramel, not some knock off syrup, gross. Amazing people, smiling faces, great service and the atmosphere is amazing.

Wonderful place to meet your neighbor and great coffee.

Great service and great coffee.

The Coffee was perfect. Customer service was good.

Best

The young man helping us at the counter needs a little help with his customer service skills but the small town charm and lady singing behind the counter more than make up for it.We were there June 30th around 10am.

Espresso drinks good, coffee weak. Love the vibe.

Delicious and lovely lovely staff

Nice small town coffee shop. Nice to see it so busy with studying college students. Nice selection of seasonal choices

Good coffee. Groovy atmosphere. College people hanging out with townies.

I had a French press, Awesome, but it only filled half of a cup.

The Chai-der is pretty terrible.

Great love music. The coffee is good too.

I’m here on a Sunday and it’s super busy. The employees keep yelling at each other and I’m scared. They also yelled at their guests to pick out a muffin before they get to the front of the line. The coffee is pretty good though and it seems like a hip hangout spot in town.

Best coffee in town. Made to order. Fresh and great coffee. The staff is friendly and the location is perfect.

It is attached to a deli that serves amazing food as well. The baristas and owner are all knowledgeable and very outgoing and friendly. Sam the owner gets.to know her regulars and their likes and dislikes. She takes pride in making good espresso and coffee absolutely my favorite coffee shop around

The best coffee spot in Grinnell. Wonderful coffee, wonderful atmosphere. The people are the best, and its a great place to have a meeting or get work done on your own. Reasonable prices as well!

Cool college cafe. Good coffee and nice vibes.

Saints Rest is my single favorite establishment in Grinnell. The muffins are always a pleasure and fresh, and the coffees are good-- this isnt a just enough kind of place.Ive always loved the atmosphere here. Its good for work or just relaxing with friends, or mingling with people you dont see often. The owner is also very friendly and the place works to fix things gone wrong. Small bathrooms in the back are clean but sometimes tough to get to.

Best Coffee place in town!

Another gem in Grinnel. Super friendly staff and some good coffee. Comfy and inviting. Follow the locals and youll find this place; its the one thats always busy!

Good coffee and hot chocolate

Coffee and muffin were good. Vibe is very hippy and it puts the liberal into liberal arts. Expect the clientele to be young girls who apparently dont bathe often, have rich parents and are clueless about the real world. But hey, the coffee is good.

Comfortable. Friendly. Wide variety of drink options. Great little deli in the back for soups, salads and sandwiches. Gluten free options!

Always a pleasure to hang out here when visiting my daughter at school. Great coffee and muffins. Very friendly staff. Comfortable, clean and relaxed room. Glad its there.

The coffee is amazing, the space is comfortable, and the staff is excellent!

Great place to see people you know

This is the place you want to be every morning. Fantastic coffee, atmosphere, food and some really cool people that are welcoming and friendly.

Spunky staff. Cozy. Many options for coffee, tea, and soda.

Great service. Great assortment of coffee and snacks.

Great staff. You feel like theyve known you forever. Made coffee drinkers out of my wife and I!

Great place. Spoke at Grinnell College about sustainability in Entertainment. Met great people here. Students Faculty and staff were amazing.- Antonio SaillantFilm and Television producer

Delicious coffee and really friendly staff. Make you feel at home even if youre home is hundreds of miles away.

Wonderful atmosphere. Family/ kid friendly. Comfortable. Wonderful coffee.

Enjoyed my one time visit at this hometown coffeeshop. Great coffee and pastries. The people were very friendly.

The peppermint bark mocha was one of the best drinks Ive had!

Good coffee, convenient place to meet friends, and there are always fresh baked goods to accompany your drink.

Best coffee house in Grinnell! Dont miss it! Everyone you want to see is there.

Great coffee choices great muffins/snacks and the owner is outstanding and it shows in her staff

Great little coffee shop! I always make sure to stop when Im in town.

Amazing coffee and staff. This is easily one of the best coffee shops my wife and I have been to, I highly recommend it.

Best coffee in Town. Even better service.

I was passing through on my 50 State tour for suicide prevention (#TacoQuest50) & needed WiFi and power. Im so glad I found this place instead of seeking out a Starbucks. Large but comfy place. Typical selections of coffees, espresso, & tea drinks with a few pastries. Theres also a deli in the back but was closed when I was there. Great service & ambiance. It felt like the Cheers bar. The barista knew a lot of the people coming & going, and still made me feel like a regular.

Really neat local shop! I like the choice of coffees, Italian soda, and delicious bakery items! Servers are friendly too! :-)

Fantastic coffee place! Great staff, fantastic owner, superb coffee. Grinnell is lucky to have this place!

Just disappointing. Disappointment flows through the experience from service quality and politeness to order accuracy. A rare instance where I just wish there were a Starbucks instead.About ten years ago this wouldnt have been the case.

Great coffee shop with a fantastic staff and excellent muffins.

Quite little place to enjoy a cup of coffee of a sandwich from the back deli.

Off the hook awesome!

An excellent cup of coffee only exceeded by the service provided.

A grinnell classic!

Great coffee, great atmosphere. My favorite place to study and hang by far in Grinnell!

Free WiFi, great coffee, and plenty of seating... Who could ask for anything more?

Great coffee, and location to meet with friends. Friendly staff.

Great coffees, friendly staff, comfortable with Internet access.

Great independent coffee shop in Grinnell. Im always settle to find a table, even when it looks busy.

Really good Coffee and a place to just unwind + FREE WIFI!!!!!!

Might be the only decent coffee within 50 miles of Grinnell, but only mediocre and rude vibe.

Great coffee house to meet friends at.

Great service and coffee!

Very friendly staff and a cool place.

Great place to hangout and relax!

Best coffee I found in Grinnell!
