I'm not usually an iced coffee girly but this was amazing! They have an adorable mural for that selfie pic, and cute vintage/ mis matched furniture. They were closing early for a staff meeting but the owner came over and told us we could stay as long as we wanted. Such great service and nice staff behind the counter- everything was such a good experience! I'll be back again soon!

Ordered a Venti Paradise Punch with Cold Foam at 2:53pm. As you can see from the picture - headed…read moreto the school pickup line and no sips taken. What's wrong here? Missing a large amount of the actual liquid, and it's half cold foam! It tastes just like foam, nothing else. And when made at any other location, it's a delicious pineapple drink. This is the last time that I give this location my $$. It's not worth the Drive-thru when I pay for a large and barely get half of a medium. The Starbucks in the Altoona Target is the absolute best and the one in our HyVee grocery is still better than this one, and they run out of ingredients on the regular. This is not a quality error, or the fact that there wasn't enough staff to serve the customers - I was the only customer at the drive thru. It was laziness and employee quality control.

The line always takes at least 30 minutes to get through. Seems they are always understaffedread more

Idk if it's this location or Scooter's in general but oh man. I tried to drink it. Four sips and I had to throw it out. It was awful. Like watered down tea but with a coffee flavor.

Our…read moregoal is to make you smile with every sip, that's why when you stop by one of our locations you'll see a smiley face sticker smiling right back at you on every cup. Our coffee begins with responsibly sourcing some of the finest hand-selected beans in the world, and paying farmers and workers a fair wage to help improve their community's infrastructure. Then, it's roasted with care and love in small batches, staying true to the art of crafting quality coffee and ensuring a smooth, rich and delicious finish. You'll taste the Scooter's Coffee® difference in every drink.

Went to the window and there were employees inside just ignoring us?! Tried to go back to the front of the drive through, still complete silence. So then we called, straight to voicemail. False advertising and terrible customer service, the least the employees inside could do would be to tell us they were closed, but nope, just ignored us instead! Just wanted a drink for the ride home and I'm a great tipper, I suppose we both missed out! I've never had an issue with any Scooters location until now, I suppose I should just stick to Pleasant Hill, Altoona do better!!!

I then showered a picture of what was previously given to me when I asked for a Charlie & was told,"well you didn't ask for all that" to which I said,"I has no idea - I'm sorry as I've only ordered it a few times & that's all I was ever told to say." When ordering if they didn't know what I was asking for I would've happily looked up my previous order.. I also ordered the black pepper bacon sandwhich. I was given a bacon wrap twice & was asked if I meant the bacon one? I didn't know what that meant..they they asked me how it was made & I stared back blankly trying to figure out what was happening..I started to pull up their app to showcase what was on their menu. I truly am just discouraged and honestly confused. My croissant came with cheddar - so not made correctly & the drink was remade correctly. I've attached what I've received previously when ordering the Charlie. This is not what I was given.

You know the minute you walk in, you've walked into something special. A hidden gem right in the center of the outlet mall. Their chocolates are decadent, beautiful, elegant and unique.

It's a must stop when you make any trip to the Outlets of Des Moines. Even though, it's actually in Altoona. Don't forget to tip your barista!
