I thought it was pretty good and was a different environment to grab a coffee. A friend and I went on a Sunday morning, so it was pretty busy and we had to wait a little bit to find a seat. We found street parking on Ingersoll and had a short walk over which didn't bother us, but I can understand how parking is an issue during busier times. My friend and I both enjoyed our drinks but weren't blown away. I also tried the breakfast burrito which was okay, but I probably wouldn't order again. I was hoping to try the breakfast sandwich but they were sold out. I liked this shop, but it is not a place I would go out of my way for.

Weird interaction with the workers here.. ordered a cappuccino and but got a flat white. When I…read morenicely asked if I could have a cappuccino I was rudely spoken to and told a flat white is a cappuccino. Huh? Definitely had me second guessing so I quietly went back to work but I later looked it up and it's not the same thing.. i don't think I'll be coming back here.

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.

The coffee was not strong it was very weak, my coffee was supposed to be over ice, there was no ice and it was like receiving a small coffee instead of a Large cup Of coffee and on top of it they were asking for a tip. Increase the size and make your coffee stronger. Add lots of ice if it's supposed to be over ice. Won't be returning.

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

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've had baristas mess up my drink order a few times when dining inside but they're always ready to remake and super polite about it. Would highly recommend for networking meetings.

My fave drinks: raspberry voodoo chai, build your own lotus (white lotus + peach), pistachio latte.

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!

We saw there were a few table so we decided to try it with the intention to be quick. Boy am I glad we did! Started with the sunrise juice, a carrot juice blend and the homemade strawberry lemonade both were so fresh and delicious. We tried the brown sugar and cinnamon pop tart and that was heaven in my mouth. So much flavor and goodness. I ordered the limoncello French toast and it is a slice of fresh baked lemon bread made into French toast. The flavors were rich and the texture was fluffy. A must try while it's in season. Others got the turkey and avocado Benedict and the pancakes with eggs and bacon. All cooked to perfection. Our server Jess was so nice and we did tip her well for being so last minute, but to our credit we were out of there at 6 mins after closing while everyone was still working to close up. I try to not show up late but this one was so worth it!!

Service is usually stellar and the location is fairly convenient with lots of parking (in the back too!) My only complaint is that my friend I go to the restaurant with who is in a wheelchair due to mobility issues has to park in back and roll all the way around the building. Its fine on a nice day, but sucks if its extra warm or super cold. I know this isnt the fault of the restaurant, but the building owners . The ambiqnce is fine, if its busy it get a little louder than I'd like. Maybe some strategically placed sound dampening tiles? I get the industrial look, but with the concrete floors, its a bit of an echo chandler when itw busy.
