What's in the cup
“I gravitate toward a plain cold brew with seasonal cold foam for a little less sweetness.”
What regulars say again and again
“They roast their own beans in their shop and you could smell it from the moment you enter.”

“If you're in a hurry they have a selection of pastries ready to go, a nice option for a quick on the way to work coffee stop (and a drive-thru option).”
“Every one of the baristas I’ve ordered from and talked to have been super friendly.”
What customers say
It’s a jazzy little function. Great place for breakfast, or to study. They play jazz music and it isn’t noisy in there. I come here for their roasted coffee beans. They also offer almond milk, coconut milk, and soy milk. They roast their own beans in their shop and you could smell it from the moment you enter.
Enjoyed a medium roast cup of coffee. Good flavor. Also had the croissant sausage egg and cheese. Very good. Decent amount of seating. Plugs are a precious commodity so you may struggle plugging in if you can't find those spots. Staff were friendly and offered suggestions which I do appreciate.
Such a great Ankeny institution. I have been going here for years. Excellent food, friendly service and a great place to work while getting some of the best coffee in Iowa. They roast their own coffee beans on site - you won’t get that at Starbucks.
The pancakes are delicious and a decent coffee selection. Everytime I've been in the girls have always been really sweet. Definitely has that nice cafe feeling to it if you want to sit down, relax and have some breakfast.
