Mammitas has the best Cuban sandwich and burritos in Iowa city. This place is cute, quaint, and my new staple restaurant!

Update: I'm eating the Cuban burrito again. This time I got a photo. It's huge and so flavorful. Skip pancheros and Chipotle and eat this! Yummmmm! The Cuban burrito is magical. I intended to take a picture of it, but it was so good that I ate it so fast a picture was not possible. The guava pastry is also magical!

I'm pretty sure the woman who laughed at me as I ate my tres leches as an appetizer was the owner. I hope she was. She did the job of at least three people - made my Cuban sandwich and cafe con leches, set up carry-out orders and answered the phone - all with smile and bounce. I'd suggest supporting a small business by eating from Ma ... read more

WOWOWOWOW 10/10 Im so grateful that I listened to the reviews!! This spot was so good. Made a stop in Iowa City while on a road trip. The place is so cute and warm but amazing customer service. It's family owned and the food is 10/10. The chorizo burrito is a must AND the guava pastries. They're their family recipe and we ordered 10!

I love this place. I was visiting Iowa City from Brooklyn, NY with a band and just happened to walk past and decided to stop in. They were so welcoming and you can tell this is a true family business. I had a tasty pulled chicken sandwich and a much needed espresso. I told my bandmates about it, and they went and loved it as well. We ... read more

Great morning coffee stop, the light roast (Rainforest) is my favorite. For lunch, eating their Cubano sandwich is as pleasurable as listening to Ibrahim Ferrer sing. The patio is open in decent weather and hasn't been crowded in my experience. It's around the side of the building, easy to miss.

I love this place! The servers were so friendly and helpful. I did have to wait a bit, but because they had several call in orders, and not from poor service.

This place deserves ALL the praise. When you're in need of a treat combined with a coffee, look no further than the horchata and espresso - it comes in frappe, iced or hot combo!

Always exceptionally friendly service, fresh pastries, and outstanding coffee. If you're looking for a phenomenal latte that you can't get anywhere else in Iowa City, you have to try their horchata latte (frozen, iced, or hot are all equally delicious). Love supporting this business!
