I ordered a sugar free vanilla latte. It was more milk than I'd prefer- I wish there was a stronger coffee taste and instead it was 3/4 full of milk with syrup. But the staff was friendly and it was quiet inside the shop. A lot of people hanging out and gathering the day I was there. Stars given solely on the taste/ value of the latte I ordered.

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.

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

This place far exceeded our expectations! Clean, organized, with a very attentive staff. Ordered chai latte, café au lait, and iced coffee cake latte. Every one of them was delicious. Our son, who works as a barista, thought the coffee cake latte was exemplary. He loved the foam which was very flavorful. Really sorry that we don't live near here because we would definitely be repeat customers. Especially with the gathering room in the back! I love their vision, printed on their hot coffee sleeves, and my college - age son really appreciated the message handwritten on his cup!

I'm writing this review as I'm sitting inside the cozy Twisted Bean Coffee Company on a comfy…read morecouch, sipping a delicious latte. The first thing I did when I landed in Des Moines was search for a coffee shop. Being from the PNW, I fancy myself as a bit of a coffee snob, so I'm always unsure of what I'll get when I travel. Oddly, most of the coffee shops in Des Moines seem to be street or paid parking only, which is a turnoff for me. So when I found this place with a parking lot and good reviews, I was sold. I drove straight from the airport after a long, early morning flight in desperate need of a caffeine boost. As promised, there is a dedicated parking lot right off the main drag. Inside is surprisingly spacious, with a variety of seating options, including a workspace that it appears you can reserve? I was greeted by the friendly barista and after studying the menu for a bit, I asked her recommend between the Marshmallow Macchiato and the Autumn Bliss (seasonal drink). She said both were really good, but the marshmallow macchiato was sweeter, so I opted for the Autumn Bliss which is a combo of cinnamon, caramel and vanilla. It's a chilly day here, so while I usually get iced, I opted for hot today. My drink was up within a couple minute, I settled into the comfy couch and took my first sip. I was immediately warmed by the cinnamon and rounded out by the caramel and vanilla notes. The best thing is that you can actually still taste the vanilla through the flavoring. My drink was reasonably priced too, especially coming from Las Vegas. Definitely a cute coffee shop to read, work, or socialize while enjoying delicious espresso drinks.

I do wish they had more sweet pastries, although we tend to come later in the day so that might be part of it. Their regular lattes are good, but the more experimental drinks have mostly been misses for me. I tried one with balsamic once and it was definitely not for me. One small complaint: their hot to-go cups feel a little flimsy. I had one spill on me in the car, which was not fun. Overall, though, it's a nice, chill spot with a relaxed atmosphere, and I'd come back.
