The tough part is deciding what spot you will enjoy first. Classic Italian or wood-fired pizza? Thai or Mexican? A vegetarian-friendly falafel burger or a signature burger made with local beef? Soul food or salads?

If you’re celebrating a special occasion, consider the Brown Bottle in downtown Waterloo, and the rooftop patio at Montage in downtown Cedar Falls.

Satisfy your sweet tooth with a made-from-scratch cupcake, handcrafted chocolate truffle, or a triple scoop of Iowa farm fresh ice cream. Grab a cup of joe from local shops or nationally-loved franchises alike.
