New drink ALERT.

The Iced Coffee Mai Tai

A caffeinated concoction based on the classic Tiki Drink. This one uses Brass Knuckle Blend Iced Coffee and molasses instead of rum, for a drink that needs to be tasted to be believed.

Totally non alchoholic, and highly addictive, we'll be serving these things through the rest of the summer.

Right now we are featuring some fantastic coffee's from Iowa City's own Brass Ring Coffee. If you love their coffee at the farmers market come enjoy a pour over of their natural process Burundi Bevyeyi!

Support some local business, Prairie Lights Cafe- open daily at 9 AM, Monday- Saturday.

ANNOUNCEMENT-

Prairie Lights Cafe Temporary Closure

Due to the forecasted dangerous increase in Covid rates over the next several weeks, we have made the reluctant decision to temporarily close the cafe for a period of approximately 1-2 months.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we feel that public safety and the continued success of Prairie Lights will be better served by a temporary closure.

We greatly appreciate the love and support from our patrons that we have received so far, and we look forward to seeing everyone in the spring!!

Great news! During the holidays, anyone who makes a purchase in the Bookstore can bring their receipt up for a FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE alongside any cafe purchase!

Thanks for a great first week back! We made the decision to close tomorrow, but we will see you all Monday!!

We are open till 4pm today!! Come grab something good!
