What customers say

A cheery local venue with three locations around Des Moines Metro. The roaster is located in the Beaverdale store. Pleasant surroundings, good pastries, very good coffee (they do have heavy cream to put in your brew). Browse the store to find handmade creations by local artisans and jewelers.

Such a great local coffee shop! The fresh roasted specialty coffee is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and adorable, and the staff are genuinely kind and welcoming. It’s the kind of place you want to linger a little longer—highly recommend stopping in!

Stopped in here after a haircut next door to bust out some emails quick, and this coffee shop did not disappoint! I had never been here before, but I stop in coffee joints for meetings and to work quietly outside the office.

Love the coffee at this location! The artisan gifts for sale are also fun to peruse!
