Beautifully designed and presented. Favorite coffee shop I’ve been to. The egg muffin is a bit bland but still good. I just wished it had more taste. The drinks and the baked goods are delicious. I was there during a rainy misting and it was just perfect. There’s so much natural lighting and the decor is nice

I don't have pictures for this review, but that's only because I was too immersed in the atmosphere. I was thoroughly impressed by the cups of coffee, the egg bites, the sandwiches, and the service. There was also Scott, the barista, who was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly, and very passionate. He shared his thorough knowledge and experiences with me and I was captivated. Sorry if all this sounds a little too romantic, but I was genuinely impressed. I'm definitely going back to try the rest of the menu.

Atmosphere was nice and chill! Unfortunately I want a fan of the spiced chai. I felt like it was a little too “gingery”. And the lemon poppy scone was just not good in my opinion. I’ll try something else when I stop by again! Def liked the vibes though.

We found this place while driving north on I-35 and it is fabulous. Good strong coffee (roasted onsite). Outstanding fresh baked goods (best banana bread ever). Responsible COVID-19 precautions. Friendly, pleasant, ambiance. We’re from Wyoming so we have no connection to anything Mason City. Worth diverting from the Interstate.

The best in Mason City! Jitters has such a fun, independent coffee shop vibe. The drinks are always great and feature fresh-roasted beans. The baked goods are also wonderful and use clean ingredients. I have a list of my favorite coffee shops I’ve visited internationally, and Jitters is one of my favorites anywhere.
