It was popping in there but we were still able to find a area to sit in the back. The matcha was great and my friend enjoyed her coffee. We enjoyed each other's company for a few hours and when we left we grabbed another drink to go. She grabbed a matcha and I grabbed a decaf tea made of cherries, apples and cinnamon. I forgot the name but it was really good. Reminded me of a traditional tea we have in México called ponche also made out of a bunch of fruits and cinnamon. Also the glass jars you get to go are so cute and I definitely will be reusing it for my drinks. Recommend for anyone to come here. I think it's one of my favorite coffee shops now!

The drinks here are so good and unique! The decor inside is gorgeous as well. Love coming here…read moreevery time I am in Des Moines.

What a find for a coffee lover!…read more I had a large iced oat milk latte (no flavoring) delivered over DoorDash. First, my husband placed the order for me, and I got a call right away from a friendly individual at Crimson Anchor to confirm my order would be made with oat milk. (My husband put it in the order as a question and the caller wanted to confirm it for us. SO nice!) This latte is smooth, i can actually taste the coffee and it's delicious, it's PERFECT. But this one is special for 2 reasons... 1) milk substitutes (like my oat milk), flavorings, and even whipped topping are included in the cost. SCORE! 2) This iced beauty came with two large square ice cubes made out of COFFEE . As a person who always orders oat milk, and always removes the ice to keep my beloved latte from watering down, this is a delight to me! I can't wait to stop in and check out the vibe.

The barista is a pretentious prick. Won't give you their undivided attention while taking your…read moreorder because he isn't finished making the prior customers order and then screws up the order. He then tries to claim that a flat white is the same thing as a cappuccino whilst making an insulting comment towards Australians. I should have went to vibrant coffee around the corner. And to my guy here: when someone orders two different drinks, don't make the same drink and try to play it off like your some superior barista; your job is to serve coffee as it's ordered, that's it. All I wanted was to enjoy a morning coffee but instead had to deal with some asshole with a complex.

Needless to say this spot deserves all its flowers because the coffee is phenomenal. I was greeted instantly by the people behind the counter. They were friendly and it was full of people who were also super friendly. It is a small cozy space with tons of other drinks and cool products to pick from. I had a hot pistachio honey oat latte and I savored it for a few hours because it was really that good. The coffee had a fruity and nutty taste that made my taste buds so happy. The pistachio and honey mix was the perfect combination. Can't wait to go back to try more!

If they are making pastries, you know that everything down to their buns are going to be mouthwatering... My mom devoured this pastry, but I'm still thinking about that sandwich. The warm pastrami with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and a horseradish aïoli... Lord have mercy. Please support these local bakeries because we need more of them. And by we I mean me. I loved all the natural light, the location is great, there is space that would accommodate a larger group, but also allows for intimate seating and studying if that's your vibe. Lastly, the staff is so lovely and helpful. Always such a great experience there.

I just ordered an iced vanilla latte which I thought was good. I could have used an extra pump or two of syrup, but I am a fan of sweeter stuff. My boyfriend who is a fan of less sweet stuff enjoyed it. They also roast their own beans in Iowa City which I think is super cool. I bought some of their espresso beans (Alien Moon) and both my boyfriend have liked drinking their espresso at home. I would go back and get more in the future. Service was great and the staff (owners) were very kind, but I do think they could do a little bit more to make it feel a little cozier in there.
