But the double-sided drive through location by Wendy's has become a before-work stop for me on days that I don't make coffee at home. Their drinks are on the better side of average, and prices are within range of other comparable spots in town. What keeps me coming back is the awesome service. They are a WELL OILED MACHINE, serving up that Java super speedy - something I greatly appreciate on my morning commute.

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 initially went to Einstein's Bagels / Caribou Coffee to get a Nova Lox Bagel and a cup of coffee. I was informed that they no longer have fresh bagels everything they have is premade. Naturally I googled bagel shops here in Dubuque and a Big Apple Bagel came up. I've been to these before although not at this location so I really wasn't expecting anything great as it was. I go in and ask the girl for a Lox and Bagel. She replied that she did not know what that was and what I like something else. I actually find this kind of funny because whoever was rolling the bagels really needs to take a class on how to do it correctly because they resembled horseshoes and not a bagel. The manager of the location chuckled and stated they ran Einstein's bagels out of business and I simply replied I surely don't know how because you guys also don't have a clue. If you're looking for a good bagel in Dubuque it just simply does not exist and quite frankly most of the food here is garbage. Go far away and I mean very very far away.
