very very spacious, i like it here a lot.

Love that this place is open until 9! Sometimes I have a hankering for a nice latté after all the other places close and don't feel like making one at home. The coffee is always good here. I just have to be careful with the specials because some of them are pretty sweet. The staff is always super cool with me modifying the amount of sugar in my drinks. The food here is also always good. I tend to go for the Pick Two with a sandwich and soup. This is a great neighborhood staple. My friends and I love meeting here! Ample seating, great place to do work/study, dine, whatever.

Large comfortable feel cafe with food, ice cream, and cafe drinks. Lots of seating and sitting areas, access to outlets and very nice chill atmosphere. Had a couple meetings here now and easy enough to hear each other, busy but not so loud you can’t talk. Drinks were made well and the ice cream was delish!

Beautiful & cozy feeling cafe that offer delicious coffee drinks, milk shakes & foods! There’s plenty of space both indoor and outdoor. Customers are able to call and make a reservation on a meeting room ahead of time!

The coffees are so delicious! Ps: try out they lavender latte !!

They offer drive thru order for customer who want to get coffee to go. There’s limited parking space and it’s a bit hard to maneuver in or out of the parking space.

We had a family birthday party this morning. It's a comfy place to gather. Food is yummy and service is great!!

Best food I’ve ever had! And this place makes the best smoothies. I was having some issues, and Sophie a lovely lady who works here helped me out! She went out of her way to help me and work things out. This is my new favorite spot! It’s 35 minutes away from where I live but I will be making trips up here often! A very cute and lovely place to go to to relax. Thank you Sophie! And thank you everyone there♥

Amazing prices and quality for the coffee. Even with modifications the staff are understanding and I've never had my drink be mismade. The deserts are a touch pricey, but of good quality and clearly labeled. Convenient just to stop in or to spend a good couple hours. LOVE that it's open late, even on weekdays. Personal favorite drinks are the peppermint mochas and any variety of chai-- it's one of the most flavorful I've had!

Went with our girls coffee club as someplace new to check out. Everybody was pleased with the selection of coffees and teas. It was busy for a Tuesday but we had no trouble finding someplace to sip and visit.

I ordered the strawberry smoothie and it tasted a bit more like a strawberry shake but it was super delicious. I also bought one of the monster cookies and it was definitely worth the reasonable price.

Everything is great! The only complaint is that I was there about a week ago and on one of the edges of a table (by the men's restroom), I had cut my hand. I brought it to the attention of the manager at the time and she said that she would have that table removed. I came in today to see that not only is the table still there, but no one has fixed the metal sticking out on the edge of the table. Now I understand that I don't have to sit there, but at this point, I'm looking out for the safety of others. Being in healthcare, I've witnessed what may start out as a small cut, can turn into something concerning very rapidly. Please address this.

Sedrick provided excellent service during our visit. When we approached the counter to order our drinks, he was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to explain the various beverage options available. His enthusiasm and positive energy were evident, and it's clear that he genuinely enjoys his work. His vibrant and cheerful demeanor is something that more coffee shops could use. Sedrick's exceptional service made our experience enjoyable, and we look forward to returning.

Finally made it. I am satisfied with this place. Food was great, coffee was good and it was busy but I still had a spot to sit. Cool atmosphere. I'll be back for sure.

I plan to take photos next time, but I adore this place; I think it was one of the things I missed the most when I moved a few years ago. The chai and the raspberry smoothie are delicious, and their food is in huge portions. (I highly recommend the tiramisu.) No complaints from me! Please go show this place some love if you can.

The best Cafe with a diner you're going to get! The food is high quality, the staff is very friendly, the coffee is excellent! I recommend the coffee shake!

It's a good place to pass the time if you have a book or work to do. Many people I know like the coffee here. I like their tiramisu.

I adore this coffee shop. I used to come here to study and prepare for tests while I was at Drake university. They have a wide selection of food, drinks, and treats available. My personal favorite is their lemon poppyseed muffins, I make sure to grab one every time I'm in Des Moines!

I stopped by when visiting my best friend who lives in Iowa. I had the best cold brew of my life with irish cream syrup and cold foam. Hope I can come back again!

I love this place, and they make the best chai latte in my opinion.

Great coffee! Lots of places to sit even for a busy Saturday. Will definitely go back👍🏼

I only do drive through, but the customer service is the best at the window, plus I love their coffees.
