A new restaurant that specializes in brunch is now open in Johnson County! Butter & Jam Café began welcoming customers this weekend inside of a former Arby’s location in Coralville.
About Butter & Jam Café
According to the business’ Facebook page, Butter & Jam Café is located at 801 1st Ave in Coralville. The building was originally home to an Arby’s, but the fast food joint closed back in the fall of 2023. Until Butter & Jam Café moved in earlier this summer, the space remained empty.
As you can see from the above photo, Butter & Jam Café has totally reinvented the former Arby’s location. It’s almost unrecognizable! The caption of the photo reads:
“We took a familiar building and completely transformed it into an elevated brunch experience that feels warm, modern, and inviting. From the design and atmosphere to every plate and drink that leaves our kitchen, so much thought, hard work, and love went into bringing this vision to life.”
The restaurant hasn’t posted a menu online yet, but items mentioned in reviews include omelettes, specialty pancakes, breakfast skillets, stuffed beignets, sandwiches, breakfast tacos, crepes, chicken fried steak, mimosas, and espresso martinis.
