Est. Hartley, Iowa
Locally roasted coffee, house-baked pastries, and the kind of warmth that makes strangers feel like regulars. Welcome to your corner of Hartley.
Cricket's Caribou Coffee was born from a simple conviction: that a great cup of coffee should do more than wake you up — it should make you pause, look around, and feel glad you're exactly where you are.
Nestled on 3rd Street in the small town of Hartley, Iowa, we've built a space where the coffee is carefully sourced, the pastries are baked before dawn, and the conversations that happen over the counter matter just as much as the drinks themselves.
We work with regional roasters who share our commitment to quality and sustainability, ensuring every bean tells a story.
Our kitchen starts at 4 AM so you can enjoy croissants, scones, and breads at their peak — warm, flaky, and unforgettable.
We're not a chain. We're your neighbors. Every dollar spent here supports local farms, events, and the fabric of Hartley.
We're right in the center of Hartley — easy to find, impossible to forget. Bring a book, bring a friend, or bring the quiet you've been needing all week.
Have a question, a suggestion, or just want to say hello? Drop us a line and we'll get back to you as soon as the espresso machine cools down.
