FIRST BREWED

Opened in December 2024, our coffee shop is a family-owned labor of love by Tom Frith and Leslie Haan. Nestled right next to 1st Reserve whiskey bar, our space brings a touch of island warmth to downtown Dubuque with inspiration drawn from Isla Mujeres—a vibrant village paradise off the coast of Cancun that Tom and Leslie visit often and hold close to their hearts. With its laid-back spirit, our café invites everyone to slow down, stay a while, and enjoy quality coffee in good company. Whether you’re grabbing your first cup of the day or settling in for a quiet moment, you’ll always be welcome here.
