When questioned, the manager said they weren't "kicking us out," they just wanted to clean and go home. Asking paying customers to leave 30 minutes before closing is unprofessional and disappointing.

My absolute favorite coffee resides here. There is nothing like a café mocha from The Stam (Stahm)…read more It's rich, velvety chocolate coffee goodness is beyond compare. 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. You can even buy their hot cocoa mix in a gorgeous tin. The gals that work here are phenomenal, they know their chocolate and their coffees. Always a smile and happy to help with any questions. 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!

Stumbled upon this cute coffee spot for a quick meet up after work. I tried the bees knees and had…read moretheir grilled cheese sandwich! Both delish, and the coffee was so good. 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.

Fantastic place, cannot wait to visit again!

I ordered a croissant egg & cheese sandwich on DoorDash. The description said only egg and cheese,…read moreand I even added a note saying "please no meat touching my food." I'm Muslim, so this is something I'm extremely careful about. I opened the sandwich, took a bite, and realized there was ham inside. I had to throw the whole thing out and literally got sick. When I called, they told me DoorDash writes the menu descriptions (??) and that they "didn't know ham counts as meat." That response alone is unbelievable. If you have any dietary restrictions--religious or otherwise--be careful ordering from here. They clearly don't read notes and don't take customer concerns seriously. I won't be ordering again.

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!

Being greeted with a smile, makes a huge difference, and my latte was right there for the first time in a Hy-Vee's, not noticeably different than a regular Starbucks.
