It's a place that feels like a big chain, but it's just very modern and techie that makes good coffee. My kids loved getting the hot chocolate flight and I enjoyed my Halloween themed coffee flight as well. My husband got the pistachio latte and really enjoyed it, and both of us liked our scones. The only thing that really really threw me off was opening the door and instantly being hit by a wave of something that smelled like a hairdresser's place. I don't think I've ever been to a coffee shop with decent coffee that didn't smell like really good coffee. I don't know if it's the spaces nearby (it's in a strip) or the fact that it's a workspace and so the smell dissipates, but it was very offputting to have that smell in a coffee shop. Other than that, it was a great experience.

The Uptown Dairy is quite the treat. Right in the heart of Uptown Ankeny this shop is bright and…read morefresh and inviting. The place is immaculate and they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. For all my friends of the High Trestle Trail it literally is footsteps from their front door, you can eat their ice cream and ride your bike! WIN- WIN!!! The ice cream selections are amazing, and so many its is hard to choose, but i did! We got massive scoops of yummy, creamy deliciousness on a fresh and crispy waffle cone, of which they have several types to choose from. The workers on this particular day were fantastic, attentive and fast, They even hooked us up with some pup cups to go! (The dogs thank you!) If you are feeling like rewarding yourself or just have a hankering for something delicious and Ice Cream fits the bill, pop on in to the Uptown Dairy and try their treats! You will not be disappointed!

Pretty pricey, but pretty worth it!

I wanted to try several things on the menu, but decided on an iced latte with marshmallow. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but I thought it tasted alright, not the best drink I've ever had but not the worst. The barista was friendly and I signed up for their rewards program with my phone number. Hoping to come back and try another drink!

However I still did not enjoy the coffee but I appreciate them remaking it. My friend got a chai and we each got egg and cheese bagels. The total came out to be a little over $30 for those 4 items. I felt like this was overpriced for drink and food quality that was not tasty.

I visited the Clive location on Father's Day and was very disappointed with the experience…read more First, they were completely out of decaf coffee, which was frustrating since I do not drink caffeine. Second, there was a Father's Day promotion for a specialty koozie, but we were told at the window that we could not receive it because we only ordered one drink--even though we were there specifically for the promotion and intended to order more items. Finally, the service felt disorganized. The staff appeared more focused on socializing with each other than on customers, which impacted the overall experience and efficiency of service. Overall, this visit did not meet expectations in terms of product availability, clarity of promotions, or customer service.

I genuinely don't understand the hype around 7 Brew. We pulled up and there wasn't a menu anywhere…read moreto look at. Before even asking what we'd like, the employee walked up and immediately asked for our phone number, which felt odd when we hadn't even decided if we wanted anything yet. When we asked to see a menu, instead of providing one, she rattled off a few "popular drinks." We ended up having to pull out our phones and search for the menu ourselves while sitting in the drive-thru. I ordered a cold brew and it was honestly one of the worst coffees I've ever had. It tasted like plain black iced coffee with some syrup mixed in... no smooth cold brew flavor at all. To make matters worse, the price was basically the same as Starbucks. Between the confusing ordering process, the push for personal information, the lack of a visible menu, and the disappointing coffee, I don't see any reason to come back.

They were placed n carried out in the recycled tray like those from McDs n laid it down on the SUV floor. We drove off. When he went to pick the tray after parking, he discovered that 1 coffee latte drink emptied itself totally on the mat. It was his! Needless to say, he was upset. We went back to get his free latte again n i told the gal that 1 of them didnt push the 1 drink down into the tray. I returned the tray to her as i wanted to demonstrate. At first, she was quiet n then she apologized. Now THAT calmed my anger. My husband got his already free coffee n i got to live with coffee latte stink for a week now even after sponging the coffee spill numerous times. The mat still sit outside of my SUV after drying from several splash of clean water. I thought of spraying good smells onto the unmat floor of my SUV but stopped because i visioned the bad combination of smells. I rather have my vehicle blessed in other ways. PLEASE REMEMBER TO JAM THOSE DRINKS INTO THAT DAMN TRAY.
