Nodo Coffee, Carry-Out & Catering

Always great food and they have worked incredibly hard to keep customers and staff safe and satisfied. I knew it was going to be a good day at work when we ordered Nodo for lunch.

The food here is always really good. I have never had an issue with the food but there is a worker that’s always there that is very rude always. I have gone here countless times and it’s such consistent rudeness I wanted to say something so hopefully it can be fixed. Another thing that happened that led me to posting a review (which I never do) is they switched up my sandwich (which I get it happens and I wasn’t upset about it) but I am allergic to ginger and they gave me a bahn mi sandwich. So I called in saying my sandwich was mixed up but I am cool with eating this one as long as It doesn’t have ginger because I have an allergy. Immediately he says he doesn’t believe there is any in it so I asked if he could double check due to my allergy. There was like 15-20 seconds of silence and he says yeah, no ginger and then hangs up on me. I didn’t feel like he actually looked but I thought I would give the benefit of the doubt. Low and behold there was ginger. I had hives on my face and some issues breathing. This plus the consistent rudeness I will not be returning to this Nodos ever again (the one at Ace hardware on dodge). I don’t want this to reflect on both nodos though so I will put in that the one in downtown Iowa city is absolutely lovely. Great atmosphere, great staff and better quality of food out of the two as well. So my advice is if you want nodos go downtown, they are miles above the ace hardware one.

Unique and tasty sandwiches with alot of flavor.

to be honest, the fact that your eatery is right by an ace hardware store makes me very uncomfortable. i can always smell the plastic and cedar wood while i'm eating my salad. it does not go well with my coffee. no one likes drinking coffee while they can smell plastic and paint just across the street. not a very good sight either. please move your restaurant.

This is place is a hidden gem. They have amazing sandwiches, don't be turned off because it looks like they are in a hardware store. The place is awesome. Try the sweet potato fries and garlic aoli.
