Great find in Iowa City. Great food at reasonable prices too. Good wine list as well!

I was thrilled to see this moving into the neighborhood. It has lived up to the hype with some incredible baked goods and other flavorful foods. There is a ton of seating, which you choose once you have placed your order at the counter. You can also grab food to go, which is what I did. I ordered a blueberry muffin, vanilla cream puff, coconut-lime macaroon, and a cup of chickpea-pepper salad. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The baked good were also tasty, but the vanilla cream puff blew me away. The generous amount of cream that was gently nestled in a delicate pastry was to die for. I look forward to stopping in again soon. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

See all

such a cute spot that just opened in North Liberty/Coralville! The blueberry muffin and banana bread were amazing, and the cold brew was also very good. Would highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by, and if it's nice outside definitely sit outside on the patio :) read more

Barrett's Quality Eats - Avocado ricotta breakfast sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Coralville, Iowa

Super cute interior with great food and pastries! We've had the cinnamon roll, breakfast burrito, and another pastry. Love the design!

Delicious salmon scramble hash. The pastries are lovely. I had the tart with raspberries and blackberries. The Christmas decor is adorable.

Tried this spot out last time we were I. Town. The service was great. Coffee was super smooth and breakfast sandwich was delicious. Good portion size too. Family loved it too. We will be back next visit. read more

What a great addition to this area. I have been wanting to stop here for awhile via our travels between Peoria and Minneapolis. Today I got my chance. I became aware of this place by watching the owner win the Food Network Spring National Championship and found out by searching the internet that he started this restaurant in Coralville. We only had 2 pieces of bakery this time but what a delightful experience. This is on par with the finest bakery in New York City. I fully intend on returning for lunch sometime. The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. Go pay a visit. You won't be disappointed. read more

My wife and I visited yesterday and thought the food was very good. Service was prompt once we understood the flow of ordering. So many items on the menu that sound wonderful. Ice tea refills cost $0.50, but I guess that fine. They do have self-serve ice water stations so you're in luck. The whole facility is very beautiful. read more

I went with the ham and cheese recommendation. It was exceptional, even on a hot summer day. I look forward to making my way through the menu. The coffee was also superb. read more

New restaurant in Coralville. We went mid afternoon so avoided the crowds/waits of peak hours. Service was quick as was order to table. Food was high quality, fresh and tasty. Portions were just right. We had a couple of pastries for dessert - both were awesome. Plenty or seats and parking. We'll go back and recommend to others. read more

First visit to Barrett's. The food was delicious! I had the warm pulled chicken sandwich which was heavenly. The feta mayo made it perfectly tart. My husband had the rotisserie chicken which was served with roasted potatoes and a delicious kale salad. Not inexpensive but definitely worth it! read more

Outstanding food and service. Great homemade baked items. Highly recommend!! A great addition to the community.

Great food and service! The pastries are amazing! My turkey sandwich was delicious.

We were very excited to see this place open. We've been twice and the first time we picked up pastries to go, they were great, very fresh and flaky especially the croissants. The second time we went, we dined in. Every pastry was stale and soggy. I sent back my egg sandwich on croissant because it was terrible and clearly not a fresh pasty. Not a flake to be found - no better than a soggy Costco croissant. They sent another one and it was the same. And holy mayonnaise on the egg sandwich! There were GOBS of it and it was over the top gross. I hope they can get their act together because we sorely need a good bakery but they need to figure out how to get them out tasting fresh and not 1-2 days old. read more

Wonderful menu with amazing, tasty sandwiches, salads and soups. I am working my way down menu and loved each one. Had birthday lunch with friends and found staff was terrific and accommodating. Ambiance is very nice but can be a little noisy. I am looking forward to date night with husband to try new evening menu. I found my new favorite restaurant! read more

The store had cute decorations and a good vibe but the food was subpar. Was a little confusing which way to go and how to order food/coffee so it would be good to have someone directing traffic. Ordered the granola and the avocado toast & neither were very good. Also wasn't a fan of the olive - white chocolate cookie. read more

Great food, service, and ambiance. Would recommend to a friend. I hate that Yelp requires 85 character to write a review so here I am typing random lett read more

Amazing place. The food was incredible. Ham and cheese sandwich was better than I could have ever imagined. Great service, helpful team! Its like they read my mind and knew just what I would like! I can't wait to go every chance I get! Very good prices too. Such a darling atmosphere!! read more

This is the cutest cafe in the Midwest with terrific, high quality food. It is a must stop for anyone who likes to eat with all of their senses. We stopped here on the way through Coralville early on a Sunday morning. Barrett's is brightly lit, smells terrific and has an inviting retro inspired interior that boasts a beautiful white, black and pine green color-scheme. The staff was attentive and friendly. It wasn't very busy and our food came out quickly. My husband had the blueberry muffin- which he said was the best one he'd had in his life and a breakfast sandwich that he ate in 4 bites. It is on a real bun, not a bagel or English muffin, so it was definitely softer than what some may consider a breakfast sandwich. But my husband assured me it was fantastic. I had the tofu hash- which had an amazing red sauce that I wanted to lick up when I ate all the hash. My daughter had a burrito and she said it was delicious. She also had the chocolate dome and the foil was clean when she was done. I have told lots of people about Barrett's already and the other's who have stopped have loved it. It is such a fun, sophisticated surprise of a dining establishment that brings the full package. Terrific food, good staff and a gorgeous retro interior that puts first watch and the like to shame. But if you are looking for a dollar menu and massive portions you came to the wrong place. This is a place to come and feast with all your senses. You will pay a little more and may not leave with leftovers, but we left with a new favorite stop on our frequent treks down I-80! read more

Excellent service. Top notch food. Everything was so great. We loved every item he ordered. Great ambiance.

This place is sooo good! The iced vanilla latte is the best I have ever had and so far, all the food we've tried have been great as well (the brownie is also probably the best I've had!!) Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is quite expensive so not an everyday/weekly type of thing, but what you get for the cost truly is "quality" so I'm ok with paying it every once in awhile. read more

The avocado toast and chocolate mousse are to die for. Friendly, helpful staff and good seating options -inside and outside.

Amazing new restaurant! We went for breakfast and lunch during our trip to Iowa and every item was perfect! Hearty servings, great atmosphere and cute decor, and the most amazing staff! They were quick and each item was delicious! We had the oats, a cinnamon roll (split between 3 people with leftovers to go!), the ham and cheese croissant, a roasted chicken sandwich, and the avocado BLT. Would definitely recommend and will stop by the next time I'm in the area! read more

Have you eaten dinner at Barrett's? Four of us had dinner there last weekend--the first weekend they opened for dinner. We were greeted by two young women who seemed genuinely excited to welcome us. The dinner service was busy and the number of front of the house staff was surprisingly large in this challenging economic environment. The young woman who served us was very well-trained and attentive. The service was elegant--white tablecloths, attractive dinnerware, etc. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. They didn't have prime rib on the opening weekend, and in retrospect, that was a good thing. It caused us to try three different main dish options, all of which were tasty and beautifully presented. We're returning this evening for prime rib. If you haven't tried Barrett's for an evening meal, you're missing a great experience and a very welcome addition to the Iowa City/Coralville dining landscape. read more

Sadly disappointed. Ordered the muffuletta sandwich. It came slathered in mayo. That is not a muffuletta. Was told the sandwiches are pire-made in the morning and no way to make it without mayo. For a $15 sandwich, pre-made was not what we were hoping. Ordered ice tea and told refills were .50. Not great to nickel and dime for what is essentially a glass of water. On the upside, great looking space and staff were perky and welcoming. But food was subpar. Will regretfully not be back. read more

Food was subpar and overpriced. Order came out wrong and staff had no idea where food was going.
