Great coffee shop. Good selection of drinks. A mix of bakery items. Cute atmosphere. Was in the area and thought I’d drop in and I am glad I did. #supportlocal

Enjoyed their pastries and a great smoothie.

Their coffee is one of the best in town and their food, while limited, is also rather good. Small venue and popular, so I recommend taking it to go. Wheelchair accessible and LGBTQ+ friendly.

Some of the best pastries in town! I especially love the fun flavors in the muffins and scones. I highly recommend the tea lattes. If you dont do caffeine, ask for the vanilla rooibos latte. Great selection of non-dairy milks. Soups are usually ready a little after 10:30 if you need an early lunch.

I came in to dubuque with a craving for coffee, and usually when that hits we head over to a chain coffee shop. That is until I was told Jitterz coffee & cafe offered gluten free options for breakfast. They had a wonderful selection of gluten free muffins that I devoured within seconds of purchase and the coffee was much better than anything i could pick up at a chain shop. I will definitely be coming back again.

Beautiful little cafe with great baristas. Amazing coffee too! Plus compostable lids and cups ♥️

Very friendly staff and great hot egg sandwiches, scones, cinnamon rolls, coffee, espresso drinks , etc. we brought our kids and found great options and great prices

We love going to Jitterz on Saturday mornings. The staff is always so friendly and they have so many coffee options. Their paninis are really good as well!

One of the best iced mochas I’ve had. Cute little place, it seems like the kind of place that each time you go is a little different based on who has control of the music, and they’ve got some cool artwork on the walls that I’m guessing changes periodically? Great place, happy workers and delicious coffee! They’re also environmentally conscious, trying to reduce waste which is always a plus.

I went in and asked if they had coconut oil to put in my coffee. The owner, Bill came over and said he didnt want to lose my business but there was another coffee shop that had it. I really appreciated that and decided to stay and have their coffee which was very good. Great atmosphere!

Barista was friendly, the drinks were great!

This is a superb little cafe in Dubuque. Went there searching for a brunch place and it turned out great. The wrap was amazing and coffee was good too.

Great coffee (they were serving Badger Brothers) with comfortable atmosphere!

Their breakfast panni are lacking in any flavor. Cold brew was good. Employees were nice.

Had the featured sandwich of turkey avocado bacon. Amazing sandwich well worth the stop!

Fantastic Coffee and the most delectable pastries I’ve ever had! Even though it’s been a one woman show since this whole thing (COVID) started, I’ve had a more than pleasant experience every time! Thank you!

Tried twice to patronize this business. First time they were closed (it was 1pm!). Second try was a Saturday morning at 1015am. Sign said they closed at 11am. Why!!??? Huge line that overflowed outside. Once the line moved enough to get inside it became clear why the long line and LONG wait. There was only ONE employee taking orders, collecting money and making drinks. We bailed. We try to support local and are not huge Starbucks fans. I’m aware the pandemic has impacted lives everywhere (I’ve been without work since April). It’s just puzzling that the only potential busy day there would be no support to manage the heavy number of patrons (20 minutes is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for a line to barely move). Maybe a friend or family member to help out, since the store was only open for a few hours anyway.

Jitterz coffee is the best in town and the scones are to die for! Centrally located in a beautiful building in downtown dbq. Parking is usually easy to find. Stop for coffee while going to the library, Riverlights Bookstore, or The Food Store down the street! The employees at Jitterz are always friendly, and down to earth. I love stopping here.

Excellent friendly staff. Quality of the coffee is far superior to starbs. They use compostable kids instead of plastic, every little bit helps. The sandwiches are made fresh, not frozen and flash heated.

Every time I visit, my meal is impeccable! The staff is amazing and makes you feel as if you are the only thing that matters at that moment. We have met so many interesting people there and we love the atmosphere as well. The spicy bean wrap is my absolute favorite and everything is made with care and love. If you are new in town or if you’ve never tried Jitterz, you really should. They make their own stuff and it tastes amazing. It’s one of the most unique places in Dubuque!

One of the best local coffee shops, we always have a good experience there. Make sure to get out and support them during this pandemic because Dubuque will definitely suffer if it loses this coffee shop.

Good cold brew

Best coffee in town! Best scones in town! Best service in town! Ive been going to Jitterz as my preferred coffee shop for about 10 years now and I absolutely love their coffee - it is life giving - it is magical - it is delicious, and not too sweet if you get flavorings, and they have great milk alternatives (shout out to cashew milk)! and the staff always remembers who I am and my usual orders. They have great pastries too - I mean where else are you going to get flaky croissants and GF and dairy free and vegan muffins that are gourmet and made with love! I always look forward to coming here for my coffee because their products and service are worth it! Hence why their can be a wait or line during peak busy hours because everyone else thinks and knows so too! You can always call your order in ahead of time if youre running short on time. They also have incredible lunch options like soups and sandwiches, and other beverages like chai lattes and Italian sodas. My favorite summer drink if I dont want coffee is an orange and vanilla Italian soda - add cream for a Dreamsicle inspired refreshment! I can gush all day about this place! Im so glad that it exists! Check it out for yourself!

Forget about Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts- this is the place to buy your coffee and breakfast. Nearly every weekend we get a cold brew or sludge cup and a couple of Goodfella breakfast sandwiches. Jitterz also had great lunch sandwiches. I recommend the Spicy Black bean Wrap.Jitterz is artsy, has great coffee and food, and they are environmentally friendly. (Which is rare for Dubuque.)Im moving out of state. Hopefully I can find a coffee shop as awesome as Jitterz when I move.Picture of my last sandwich and cold brew!(Um they keep their cold brew in a Jubeck growler- how cool is that?!)

As a former barista I have to say that Jitterz has the best espresso drinks in the area. They know how to pack a shot, steam the milk, and have the crema to prove it. If youre a espresso drink lover you know what Im talking about.

The coffee shop is my favorite locally owned coffee shop in all of Dubuque, and honestly within a 30 mile radius, because I live in Galena and the coffee just doesnt compare. The owner is one of the most hard working, amazing, determined people I have ever met. Ive been coming to this shop for years now. The employees know me, and my drink order, as soon as I come in. With COVID, obviously things have changed, but the amazing owner is still working all the hours to give people the amazing coffee and home baked goods for all of us who need our Jitters fix. Remember to be kind during this time, because you never know what someone is going through. I will always support this amazing business, not just because their coffee and baked goods are literally the best, but because I have never met a more amazing, kind, compassionate person as the owner. 10/10 always

Always a favorite. We were visiting from Vegas, and we HAD to stop in at Jitterz for a Goodfella and a Sludge cup!

I really love the coffee here and love to smell it going by the place. Ive brought many friends and family here because its a very relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff and fresh food..

Looking for good coffee is hard to come by but Jitterz NAILED it. My Iced Latte with caramel this morning was by far the best coffee I’ve ever had. Thank you!

As with many towns of similar size, there is no shortage of coffee shops, and Dubuque has some great ones. If I had to choose the creme de la creme, this would be it. great coffee, great espresso, great location and great staff.

Great coffee great staff

Jitterz is a down to earth, community oriented staple of the Dubuque experience. They serve the best coffee within a 50 mile radius (if you don’t count their roaster in Platteville—they are good too), the coffee is locally roasted, the baristas are skilled, and the owner is a kind-hearted, compassionate, bright and practical woman who takes coffee seriously. She also has a tasty menu that takes different dietary restrictions into consideration, and makes the best homemade scones this side of the Mississippi.Right now, she’s running the shop completely on her own because of the pandemic. I’m so impressed with her tenacity during this time, and for putting in the work to stick around when things have been so uncertain. I manage(d) café in Boulder Colorado that already went under last month because of pandemic conditions...and we had the University of Colorado at Boulder across the street.Anything less than a five star review for Jitterz is either dishonest or just dumb! Love you!!!

Amazing coffee and great customer service! I am so glad they have been able to stay open through this pandemic and will gladly support them.

Best coffee in town! A huge plus is the bakery items are absolutely amazing!

Latte was made perfectly and the baristas advice was spot on about lunch sandwiches. Will now be making this a regular stop.

Great small buisness.

Love being able to stop by whenever Im busy to grab a coffee to go! Rewards program they have is a definate must if you plan to frequent this cute shop often. Always fun to try new flavors of lattes too, baristas can make the best mixes around

Have been to Jitterz a few times and I like it. Good brew, quiet, with good seating and great light. Also do not neglect the cafe aspect...food is pretty darn good at competitive prices.

Great way to start off your morning! Best mango smoothie I ever had. Breakfast panini was the perfect morning pick-me-up. Employees were super friendly.

The best cafe in Dubuque for a quick healthy meal and a fantastic cup of coffee or an espresso drink. The tea selection is also incredible! Their staff is super friendly and goes the extra mile to make people smile.

Buy two pastries get one free. And great coffee and atmosphere

Excellent coffee and staff. The food is great too. They have the best scones in town and are the fastest place to get any espresso drink downtown. In the summer they offer some exceptional ice cream.

The best place to get coffee hands down. Each and every one of the staff are more than helpful, their coffe tastes delicious, and it just has a local-welcoming atmosphere that it makes you want to stay and sit while you drink your drink! 10/5 stars!

Very nice, and quaint coffee shop. Good coffee selection as well as a good array of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. They also have some of the best gluten free bread bread. The staff is very nice and helpful. The overall prices arent bad, sandwiches are a little expensive for what you get, but not terrible. The atmosphere is quiet, inviting, and comfortable. No couches or lounge chairs, but ample seating for guests with tables to do work on. All in all, it is a very nice coffee shop and I tend to gravitate back there very often.

Fun, welcoming atmosphere and great food. I ordered a gluten-free sandwich and coffee, both very hearty. They dont use Udis bread and gluten-free bread substitutions are only 50¢!

Whenever Im in the area, I dont miss a chance to pop into Jitterz. One walks through the door and get a warm sense of a community hang-out spot. You can find whole families here for breakfast, or a solitary person perusing the daily paper. The décor and ambience are a cross between a bakery and an antique shop (note the bicycle above the door). With tables by the windows overlooking the street, its a perfect spot for people-watching on an overcast day.Im not a coffee drinker, but Ive always been impressed with the quality and variety of their bulk tea collection. On my last visit, however, the Bai Mu Dan (white peony) tea wasnt what it should have been. I also rely on their breakfast bites. While Im not the fan of white bread, the quantity of food in the egg sandwich is ideal and the price is right for a light snack to go with my tea.

Bought a $6 latte to go (with extra espresso). They had run out of sleeves for the cups and when I asked for a second cup to insulate it they refused and told me to use a napkin to hold the cup if I wanted something to insulate. Ive received better service buying a cup of coffee at a gas station.

Atmosphere was great, the food was excellent, and they had really good gluten free options for my mom. I was really pleased to find their coffee was excellent as well! After searching For something other than chain coffee in the morning, their iced latte hit the spot in the pm! Definitely a place to experience if youre from out of town!

Sludge cup was exactly what I needed! Great coffee.

An oasis of sorts, a stop on my adventure, for a bite before checking out River Lights Bookstore across the street, and Galena a few miles away. The TBA sandwich was good, but the bisque and the iced tea were extraordinary! Also appreciated the above - and - beyond effort by the barista, thank you.

My favorite place to grab a cup of coffee in town! Stopped by after being away for awhile and to show my wife. They recommended adding a pumpkin syrup to my chai and it was fantastic. Also made a super minor mistake that I wouldnt have noticed if they hadnt brought it up and fixed it right away. Awesome friendly service and the pumpkin dirty chai is my new favorite thing. Also if your looking for a veggie option their grilled cheese with spinach tomato and a slice of avocado is one of my favorite options in town for a light lunch!

Its a good cafe with loads of great coffee options. Not a ton of seating. As expected, there is a limited but quality food menu. I had hoped to get a pastry when I was there, but they didnt have any--I presume they had sold out early in the day.

Great tasting espresso... among the best weve tasted! The staff were helpful with local restaurant recommendations, too.

They have great coffee. We love this place

Great atmosphere and amazing drinks! The loaded baked potatoe soup was great as well

A very friendly staff. Their lunch sandwiches are outstanding. You cant go wrong with their coffee drinks. The made to order fresh brewed ice tea hits the spot on a hot humid summer day in Dubuque.

Run by a kind and caring professional.

Relaxing atmosphere. In the front you can sit and talk. In the back there is room to study or talk business. The coffee is brewed just right. The coffee is badger brothers coffee. The prices are great too.

Erica offered great service and the coffe was the perfect temperature. Wonderful food and happy people. Highly recommend.

The baked goods are better than any other coffee shop Ive visited. Ever.

I always stop here when traveling through Dubuque. Love the coffee, the art, and the bookshop across the street, River Lights. Its a perfect combination.

Coffee is delicious! Also had the grilled cheese sandwich with spinach and tomatoe

Pretty good coffee and relaxed atmosphere. Service is almost always great, but is lacking at times. Overall, Id say its the best local coffee joint in town.

This is a really great, hip coffee shop. They have quality drinks and a good sized food menu with vegetarian and gluten free options options. I visit here every time Im in Dubuque

Great place ...will even make an Australian flat white coffee which we miss.

I ordered a Mocha small. I was exploring Dubuque downtown and happened by the place. Coffee was decent. Nothing extraordinary. Staff was polite. I was serviced almost immediately. Cozy little place. Only reason Im rating it at 3 stars is the noise throughout my 15 minutes spent there. I dont mind the noise from other customers, but there was too much noise from somewhere behind the counter. Loud noises of dishes being dropped. At first I thought it was an accident, but it continued for almost the entire time. It felt as though people were carelessly dropping dishes all around.Overall coffee- good, place interiors and seating- good, staff- good, ambience- can be more pleasant.

Friendly atmosphere and great service! The coffee is the best in town and the bakery items are always fresh. Would highly recommend!

Good atmosphere. Great staff. Excellent coffee.

Quaint setting. Great selection of coffee and tea. Orange-Cranberty muffins rock!

Great espresso and veggie burger. Very comfortable atmosphere. Great place to drink coffee and hang out.

What a great place to stop on a Chicago-Winnipeg road trip. If youre headed west, it a long way til you find coffee as good (Seattle). Good, lunch and ICE CREAM.

Nice independent coffee shop in heart of downtown. Classy Main Street in character building. Get off 20 and have a coffee with experience.

ITS HELP GET US ROUND THAT VERY EXCITED THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH ELVIS

I had a sludge cup. Highly caffeinated and delicious. I also ate a breakfast panini. That, too, was totally awesome.

More coffee options than you shake a stick at. Fresh muffins & pastries. Had a lemon & poppyseed. still warm.

This place is awesome. They rotate through a different type of fair trade coffee every couple days and the owner makes amazing bakery items (try a blueberry scone).

Great cappuccino! Will go back again an again

Quiet and chill. Eye opening jitter beans.

Great coffee, atmosphere and quickly done right makes it one of my favorites in town.

I am using their wifi right now to write this review. Best coffee in town and one of my favorite places.

Great coffee house! Super friendly staff and they have an awesome cold brew. 😆

Quaint little coffee shop with great atmosphere & drinks.

My favorite coffee shop to visit when I am in Dubuque. I have never been disappointed with any of my drinks or snacks, and the staff has consistently been wonderful. Highly recommended.

Love this little cafe in the heart of Dubuque- always great service and good food and drinks! If you are looking for a cozy place to study, read, or just hang out- this is it!

I just ordered a capuchino from a cute girl in glasses, and it was quite possibly one of the best Ive had in my life. That coming from a guy who worked through high school and college as a Barista, won coffee competitions, and now travels frequently to Latin America. Well done!

Very friendly staff. Line moved quickly. A couple great gluten fee breakfast options.

Pastries and baked goods are amazing. And a cappuccino with sugar free coconut from Jitters is amazing and might change your life.

Top notch java joint. Great environment to settle in with a steamy mug of goodness. Reading nook - yes, games - yes, outlets - abundant, WiFi- reliable. Barista talent at Jitterz will have you throwing your Nespresso away.

Very friendly staff, delicious bakery and tasty coffee with great atmosphere. I love these local cafes.

Always an amazing experience at Jitterz! Great coffee, interesting art on the walls, and the baristas are very friendly!!

Great coffee, stronger than anywhere else in town and well priced. Excellent food and staff as well always polite and friendly

Fast and friendly, despite a line of people ahead , still in and out in 7 minutes

Best mocha I have ever had and the carrot/walnut/raisin muffin will have me coming back for more.

Great food, coffee with a great ambiance and friendly staff!

Delicious coffee and food! Staff is very nice, too and speedy at making food/drink.

We got some ice cream and loved it! Generous portion sizes, and a 10% discount if you make a purchase at the bookstore or are a student!

Great place. Very fast service. Great location.

Best coffee in Dubuque.

The best place to stop for a drink and a bite to eat on the way to the QCs

Their coffee is awesome! They have a pretty cheap lunch deal thats nice and they learn your name pretty quick and are always friendly!
