Menu

On this homepage, you will find the complete menu of Java Creek Cafe from Cedar Rapids. Currently, there are 40 meals and drinks available.

Charming neighborhood café on Boyson Road offers a relaxed, cool-decor vibe with varied seating—tables, armchairs by a fireplace—and friendly, efficient staff. The menu spans sandwiches, salads, soups (notably chicken noodle), baked goods, pick-two plates, real-fruit smoothies, loose-leaf chai and an ice-cream–based frozen white chocolate mocha. Quality is mostly good but uneven: some dishes and coffee can taste bitter or overthickened, booths show wear, and a customer-only table policy plus proximity to bathrooms may deter lingerers. Prices trend a bit high.

Was Ryan Peterson at Java Creek Cafe a mag?
This place is great! Their frozen white chocolate mocha is my favorite coffee drink because they use an ice cream base! The ambience of the cafe is nice and a great place to meet up with old friends or family! View all feedback.

What Melissa C dislikes about Java Creek Cafe:
Located on Boyson Road by Riley's, Butcher Block, and Gumption is this little cafe. I had the chai tea latte which was made with loose leaf tea (yay! No concentrate or powder here! honey, brown sugar, and milk of choice. It was the perfect ratio of spice to sweetness (I asked for less brown sugar . The tea however was like warm...

This place is great! The owners are as friendly as they come. The coffee was fresh, delicious, and came in a nice big mug. The décor was immediately inviting. I loved the fireplace! My wife and I also had breakfast here. The breakfast sandwich and burrito come with your choice of 4 different meats. I had the breakfast burrito with sausage and was satisfied. The salsa was flavorful and paired superbly with my meal. The only downside is that I do not live in the area, otherwise I would be back every day!

I 'm a huge fan of Java creek! The food is great, and the coffee is good. The space is great for studying or getting work done. I do have one complaint. I have been in on several occasions and each time the female owner barks or speaks rudely to her employees. Today across the dinning are she yell at an employee to get off her clock. I just hope that she values her team members because they do a great job, and I 'd hate to see the place burn through even more employees.
