slow mornings in iowa city have a particular pull, especially when you're between classes or just running on the low hum of a weekend with nowhere urgent to be. tru coffee sits on n linn st, a street that gets enough foot traffic to feel alive without tipping into chaotic, and it's the kind of place locals tend to return to with a reliability that says something about the consistency of what they're getting. the regulars here are vocal about it, and not in a vague way. they keep coming back. you can make of that what you will, but a neighborhood that has real options doesn't stay loyal to a spot without reason. worth landing here for a cortado on a tuesday morning before the rest of iowa city catches up.
