    Spooky Flight (seasonal)
    Inspired C.

    Great concept but fails to execute. The idea of having a flight of coffee and chai which are made individually is super appealing. However the downside is waiting over an hour for what is really a cup of coffee. The Blue Bean has a great outdoor patio area perfect for a beautiful fall day as we had! The avocado toast flight was delicious. Sorry, my friend, if you do like avocado toast there is not much else on the menu besides various avocado toast options. Love it or leave it!

    INCREDIBLE. I ended up visiting 3x in my first week and look forward to revisiting. It's bustling! Large open space, the choices to order are endless and everyone was so willing to cater to my friend who couldn't drink caffeinated beverages. All of the foods were incredible & so fun to share - the flights are the most fun, and again, the staff is so incredible with answering all questions & helping you make the most of your visit. I will be revisiting a thousand more times & look forward to the friendly service, fast prep, and incredible drinks - both seasonal & normal menu items!!

    One of the holiday coffee flights

    I took my grandma here this morning and wasn't expecting this place to be this great. First off the place is very neat and clean with festive music playing and a quiet coffee vibe. We were greeted by the most amazing staff ever!! They helped us around the menu and helped us pick out what flight we should get. They were very patient people who understood we were gonna take our time. We got one of the Christmas coffee flights and they were so amazing!! My favorite was the maple cinnamon latte, and my grandma absolutely loved the blackberry mocha coffee. All of them were great but those two stood out to us. We had an amazing time and will definitely be going back sometime. The flights are perfect to share with someone. Although they aren't that big it is the perfect amount to try them before just ordering them straight up. We got lattes to go and they made them perfect with latte art. Those were very crème and smooth. This place has legit coffee and would definitely recommend for people to try it out!!

    Toast flight

    The food and the espresso were wonderful! We did a toast flight and an espresso beverage flight. The toast had a fun variety and the bread was lovely. The espresso flight was also a fun treat. They are on the sweeter side, but lots of festive, fun options with a good espresso flavor. My favorite was the S'mores latte. The catch is that it took 40 minutes for us to get our drinks and toast. A little long for a coffee shop stop in my opinion. They may have lost our order, but I noted others commenting on the wait. It's also on the pricier side - $15 for espresso flight and ~$14 for the toast. A cold brew is ~$7.

    My choices of Coffee Flight.

    Pretty Good Coffee. I love the idea of a Coffee flight. Let's you choice four different types of drinks. I got the Berry Blast, Campfire, Salted Caramel and Chocolates. My favorite is Salted Caramel. I highly recommend Blue Bean.

    Staff is great (Ankeny) - one of the ONLY places where you can have a latte flight in the Des Moines metro and possibly the state.

    Happy National Coffee Day! At first I was confused finding this cute spot but I then realized the…read morewebsite had that they were inside Mercy One so i made my way in. If you go through the main entrance, as soon as your in, Vintage Road coffee Co is on the left passed the front desk. The person working was friendly and greeted me right away. She told me about the loyalty rewards and I went ahead and got one. I found it great that they have so many yummy options for the fall. I decided on the hot PSL with pumpkin cream foam on top and I love it! Definitely will be a spot I frequent to grab some quick delicious coffee. Highly recommend to all. They have options for everyone and even have fresh flowers to buy.

Great selection of drinks to choose from. The lovely ladies were helpful and funny. "Did you know whipped cream is only 15 calories? " Had us laughing and adding whipped cream to our drinks. The chocolate chip cookie dough cold brew was fantastic. It was definitely a labor of love to make this delicious jitter inducing Java. It was great that they could bring their trailer right up to the building for easy access to the employees. A beautiful day. I also got to try their blue raspberry lemonade and their lemon poppy seed scone. Overall, I am very happy with the experience. I wanted to get this on Yelp to bring awareness to them and their company. Highly recommend.

    This morning I set out to find a pleasant, clean little coffee shop, and quite by chance I…read morediscovered the loveliest place. The view was beautiful, the atmosphere relaxed and inviting, and the entire space felt thoughtfully put together. The moment I stepped inside, I noticed a display of drinks that looked absolutely delightful. Everything appeared just as appealing as it sounded on the menu. What truly caught my attention, though, were the choux cream puffs. So I ordered a plate of the choux cream puffs along with an espresso. The pastry was wonderful lightly crisp on the outside with that delicate chew that good choux pastry should have. Each puff was filled with smooth, flavorful cream, and the variety of flavors made it even more enjoyable. The espresso was excellent as well rich, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for. I also appreciated the small details. The plates and the espresso cups were charming, and the setting made it easy to sit back and enjoy the moment. All in all, it was a delightful experience. I would happily give it a 10 out of 10, and I'm quite certain I'll be returning many times.

I ordered the matcha green tea latte with oat milk this time. Tasty and well sweetened without having anything added. My husband ordered an iced vanilla latte and our drink loving teenager ordered an iced chai. I've had all these drinks in the past and they are consistently delicious. Shop is tiny and has seats for about 15-18 people. Comfortably: 10-12 people. It gets so packed and backed up that I never stay long enough for 15 minutes. I have always visited on a week day mid morning. Great location too. Service is nice and quick with the drinks. I have mostly been served by younger college student aged baristas. I gave 4 stars because I notice I get cross contaminated drinks and get stomachaches once in awhile when I order a hot drink. Other than that it's been a nice experience. Would recommend
