Verena Street Shot Tower Espresso: Verena Street Coffee was founded in late 2010 and provides their…read morecoffee to 800+ stores in the Midwest. They roast, blend, and package their coffee in Dubuque, Iowa. Their name derives from a street in Iowa that contained only five houses comprised of the founder's family. In the early 2000s the street was annihilated to make room for highway expansion, but the name lives on in the coffee. For my first review from their brand, I went with a whole bean bag of their Shot Tower Espresso blend. The company describes that blend as having a " smooth yet sharp character with no bitterness. The delicately dark roast level results in a taste and aroma that is full-bodied with a sweet and creamy complexity." Beans for their signature espresso blend are selected from Central America, South America and Indonesia in order for a unique and nuanced flavor profile. I found this particular roast to not only be delicious, but one of my new favorites. I'll be on the lookout for more of their blends at my local grocer. Doughboy approved Doughboy _Food_Reviews *I brew my coffee using 8oz of water to 2 Tbsp of grounds, adding 1 packet of Splenda and 1.5oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or skim milk

5/5 stares for my online ordering experience and customer service…read more I placed an order on Cyber Monday, figuring I would take advantage of the 40% off on ground coffees. Picked out what I wanted and ordered online...only to find out that my in-laws don't really use ground coffee, but single-serve instead. Agh! Once I found out this very-important-information, it was an 1.5 hours after placing my order. I emailed customer services asking about how I could change my order from ground coffee to single-serve. Eric immediately wrote me back and explained that it would be easier to cancel my order, then I could reorder what I did want, as they use a 3rd party credit card processor. I was instantly refund the $ I spent on my original order, so I turned around and bought the single-serve coffee instead. Less than 48 hours after placing my online order my in-laws received their coffee in the Chicago suburbs - super fast delivery. They were thrilled, and I can't say enough good things about Verena Street's products and their customer service. Would love to see them expand their single-serve coffee flavors in the future. The ability to choose a shipping date (especially for the holiday season) would be a nice option, too. Highly recommend.

I'm a brewed coffee drinker, so I cannot comment on the more sassy coffee beverages, but the brewed is fine. Bring in your own cup (make sure it's a 20 ouncer!) and get a coffee and a refill for a flat $2. They have the local Dubuque paper (pretty much a waste of paper, if you ask me) and the Chicago Tribune. Free internet for those who actually pay for coffee. Get a punch card; but 10 get one free. Great place to read, write, grade, chat with friends. Love it.

We sampled the combo , which had two churros and a dipping sauce and added an iced pistachio coffee. The churros and the dipping sauce were absolutely incredible. One of the best churros I have ever tasted. They have numerous flavor options for the churros.And also many different kinds of dipping sauce , it made it hard to choose. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They paused to let me take some photos.And also showed me their quick efficient process of making the churros fresh to order. There's plenty of tables inside the cafe to sit down and enjoy your order. It's also air conditioned , in case you're trying to get out of the heat and looking for some shade. I\nHighly recommend this small , reasonably priced establishment.
