Our Story

Welcome to Renn's Cafe, a cozy and inviting haven nestled in Nevada, IA, where great food, refreshing drinks, and sustainability come together to create an unforgettable experience. Established in 2024, Renn's Cafe is the culmination of a heartfelt journey that began with a passion for the coffee shop business. After working at another beloved local coffee shop that unfortunately closed, the owner, Renn, realized that this was the path she was meant to take. Thus, Renn’s Cafe was born, embodying her desire to bring something fresh and exciting to the community.

At Renn's Cafe, we’re dedicated to offering not just great coffee but a diverse range of food options to suit every taste and dietary need. We take pride in providing a selection of gluten-free and vegan-friendly options alongside traditional favorites, so everyone can find something they love. Whether you’re in the mood for a comforting breakfast burrito, a fresh chicken salad, or a light sandwich, our menu has something to satisfy your cravings. For those seeking something heartwarming, we also offer homemade soups made from scratch using only the freshest, local ingredients. Every dish is prepared with care and designed to offer a delightful combination of flavors that make each visit special.

But it’s not just about the food at Renn’s Cafe—it’s the drinks that set us apart. At the heart of our beverage offerings are our homemade syrups, crafted in-house from all-natural ingredients with no artificial flavors or dyes. We believe in delivering the purest, most delicious flavors, which is why we pour love and attention into every batch. Our signature drinks, such as the soothing Matcha and aromatic Chai teas, are a true reflection of our commitment to quality. These specialty drinks are carefully crafted to offer a rich, flavorful experience, one that will keep you coming back for more. In our ongoing efforts to be eco-conscious, we package our syrups in glass wine bottles, making them reusable and environmentally friendly. This small but impactful gesture is just one way we strive to make a positive contribution to our community and the planet.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Renn’s Cafe. From the ingredients we source to the packaging we use, we’re always seeking ways to minimize our environmental footprint. We take pride in supporting local farmers and producers, ensuring that our food not only tastes fresh but is also grown with care for the environment. We believe that supporting sustainable practices is an essential part of offering an experience that goes beyond just food and drinks—it’s about doing our part to make the world a better place.

Looking ahead, Renn’s Cafe is excited to expand its services to include delivery, making it even easier for you to enjoy our delicious food and drinks wherever you are. Whether it’s a workday lunch, a quick snack for the kids, or a business meeting that needs a little pick-me-up, we’re eager to bring our offerings directly to you. With our new delivery service, we’ll continue to make it convenient and enjoyable to experience the flavors and warmth of Renn’s Cafe, no matter your location.

On 3/29/2025 Mackenzie Blomgren had this to say:
This coffee shop quickly became my favorite. I’ve been making the hour drive up from Waukee every few weeks since they opened, it’s always worth the drive for the quality of their coffee! This cafe is very cozy and inviting. They always have friendly staff and good service. They have a wide variety of homemade syrups with new specialties each month. This makes it exciting to try their new drinks!

On 3/28/2025 Allison Severson had this to say:
My family loves all of Renn’s GF options, and I love that they use Morning Bell beans. I recently had the sausage and chipotle aioli breakfast sandwich and subbed for a GF English muffin from TE Alderman’s- it was delicious.
