    This is a great place to go to get some healthy food! Smoothies and salads and juices abound! The prices seem a little bit high, but the quality is high too and you're getting what you're paying for. This place is great for people with dietary restrictions, gluten-free, dairy-free, raw or vegan are all really easy to accommodate. I love how you can order a caffeinated smoothie, and the caffeine is free on Monday! This is a nice place to hang out and catch up with a friend. They even have an outdoor patio with a very comfy looking swing.

    First time here but I will definitely be back. Cute little cafe with lots of healthy options and at reasonable prices. Stopped in between breakfast and lunch so I only got a Matcha Latte this time but I'm super excited to try some of their food. I loved the ambiance and the owners enthusiasm when I mentioned it was my first time there. She was very hands on and seemed to go out of her way to make sure all of her customers were happy. There were lots of people that came in and ordered quick to go food while I was there. But there were also plenty that ordered and stayed and enjoyed their food in the relaxing atmosphere. I will update when I get a chance to try their food 😉.

    My new fav sandwich...cashew chicken on croissant 😋 So fresh and delicious. That strawberry and watermelon freshi gave my tastebuds life! The perfect fruity sweetness. Enjoyed every bite and sip.

    really nice, new, cute, clean cafe in an amazing location downtown Iowa City, amazing view of Capitol from patio. If your looking for a more down and dirty college breakfast spot, search on!

    I first walked into this place an innocent woman, one who thought I knew what a good smoothie was. But alas, I was mistaken. The moment a singular atom from that first sip touched my tongue, it was like my mouth burst into a nuclear explosion of wonder. I saw my future: my job, who I would marry, what my kids would grow up to do, and how I would eventually die. My depression was cured instantly, my acne cleared, my lifespan extended by 40 years. My life would never be the same again. It was an awakening. The smoothie was just thick enough to have substance, but thin enough that I didn't have to unlock the vacuum of space to drink it. I could taste every. Single. Fruit. And the yogurt. Oh, the yogurt!!! This shop supports local businesses, which is cool. It has options other than smoothies, too. But every day I crave a smoothie from this place. I go feral. My friends all have scratches and bite marks on their arms from when they've tried to stop me from getting a smoothie. My boyfriend nearly lost his leg. My mom called me today sobbing, trying to plead me to stop. She says weird things like I'm "cutting into the family savings" and "tearing the family apart". But no one can get in between Get Fresh Café and me. No. One. And that is why you should go!

    I love Get Fresh. They're the perfect lunch spot for someone working downtown. I've tried something different each time I've been and it has all been great. The staff is super friendly and they are so fast! Couldn't recommend them more. They're my new go-to lunch spot!

    Staff was friendly. I ordered the chicken Tikka Masala over coconut rice but they ended up unable to make it so I just tried a avocado turkey sandwich. We ate outside.

    I wish the menu posted above wasn't so different in appearance than the menus they have posted in front of the door and at the checkout stand. Confusing yet easy to fix. Quite expensive unfortunately but I like their food nonetheless

    It's hard to find a place that can meet a strict diet. Get Fresh Cafe definitely tries to make a lot of variations. No Dairy? No Gluten? No Nuts? No problem!!! They have a large selection plus a "make your own" that is beyond words. We will be back for sure!!

    The Smoothies are always awesome! But the sandwiches... OMG, the sandwiches are UNBELIEVABLY fantastic! Every detail is fabulous, from the perfect presentation & exquisite execution to the tender love & care customers get, daily, when we come in for our usual. Naj, always makes me feel right at home, when she gets my Chicken Salad Croissant for me. Clean, Kind & Cozy! That's service that can't be beat, anywhere that I've tried lately!!! If you haven't experienced the Get Fresh Cafe for yourself, I highly recommend you take the VERY NEXT OPPORTUNITY! This is hospitality the way it was meant to be served! Thank you, Get Fresh!

    Love the food/açaí/smoothie/juice options. Never been to a place with so many amazing options.

  • 5/5 Tara Allen 5. 1 year ago on Google
    Healthy, fresh foods & juices, bowls, sandwiches, and more with gluten-free bread options/granola available. They have grab and go foods for your convenience and the atmosphere is very chill with good vibes.

    one of my go-to lunch spots in IC; lots of healthy options, especially for gluten free diets. given the organic, local ingredients they use, prices are decent. employees are always very friendly and patient, even when their line is out the door :)

    We were cutting through town on our way home to the QC when the desire for a great smoothie hit my hubby. I googled and we made our way to Get Fresh Cafe. The owner, Wendy, came out from the back to answer my hubby's questions and even checked in to see how we liked what we ordered. Hubby thought his could use more honey and Wendy had the staff add more to it. She and her staff were super friendly. Cute place with lots of great looking pressed juices, sandwiches and wraps. Nice seating area outside. Thank you, Wendy! Hope to see you at a bingo someday! :)

    The smoothie bowls are good… when made right. I ordered an açaí smoothie bowl with strawberries, blueberries, and peanut butter as my toppings. It came out with bananas, blueberries, and peanut butter. They supposedly are blended on a bed of granola as well, and mine had minimal amounts of granola. Not to mention the watered down consistency of the smoothie itself. I hope to have a better experience the next time I go in, as my first experience was not worth the expensive $12 to not get what I paid for!

    This place always has a line every time we make the trip to Iowa City and stop here. It is no wonder, the juice is the freshest best cold pressed juice around. We literally drive 25 miles for it. They will deliver as well if ypu get you order in by Wednesday, they deliver on Fridays. Even 30 miles away.

    Love this place. The food/juice/smoothies are fresh and delicious. The service is always prompt and friendly! I always get the pineapple cherry smoothie and Buffalo chicken ranch wrap - I highly recommend! Another nice thing is they have pre made food and juice items if you’re in a hurry and just need to grab something quick. Overall one of my favorite places to get lunch in Iowa City.
