Cedar Falls is filled with unique shops and locally-owned restaurants and breweries...perfect for your girlfriend getaway. It's a great time to catch up, dine out and sip a glass of wine.
Plan an entire weekend starting with a trip to Barn Happy for a cup of freshly-brewed coffee and a homemade pastry. There's plenty to find in their century old barn, remodeled as an Iowa gift shop and restaurant. Or, shop for an antique or something vintage in the loft of the barn.
Next, visit historic downtown Cedar Falls. You'll find one-of-a-kind shops like Driftless Style, Vintage Iron Co. and Sage & Co. The Downtown District even caters to the gals at Girls' Night Out on the first Thursday in May and again in October. Always on a Thursday night, shops offer special discounts, free samples and prize drawings.
Maybe you and your friends enjoy being creative or learning a new craft together. If that's the case, downtown has several shops of interest like the Crazy to Quilt Shop. And you check the event calendar at Three Pines Farm to register for one of their artisan workshops.
If you want to shop for antiques and collectibles, we have that too! Spend the day visiting a number of stores in the downtown district like Main Street Exchange. And don't forget about the loft at Barn Happy!
Packed with charm, history and one-of-a-kind shops, you can spend the entire weekend in Cedar Falls!
