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.

First visit I had an iced hiland with oat and it was phenomenal. Also tried a homemade little Debbie style oatmeal cream cookie. Sugar bomb but it was exactly what I wanted. Had a small issue on next visit, however, management and staff were kind and quick to fix and that's the true testament. Will be back next time we are in Des Moines.

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.

Was looking for a new spot to try out coffee and I went on here of course to see which place to…read morepick from. I saw great reviews about how amazing the coffee and honey is here. 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!

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.

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

I don't really know. All I do know, is that all four visits were exceptional. They use Onyx Coffee (my favorite) Don't be scared off by the crowds. The line was long and moved quickly. The barista quickly recognized me and remembered my name after my first visit. And the coffee blew my mind. Over our visits we had an espresso, a drip, a Spanish latte, a New Orleans, a Cheerio and the specialty mocha. Loved them all. The space is gorgeous. Bright, clean with lots of big windows for natural light. Minimalist-the coffee speaks for itself. Either go in and form your own opinion or miss out on some of the best coffee and service you'll have.

Menu selections are vast. Coffee was excellent tasting and strong. Service was fantastic, answering questions and giving suggestions. We got coffee as well as muffins (get the blueberry) and I also opted for the ooey gooey grill cheese sandwich. I will say that was good but not excellent. Was it a grill cheese...yes. it was a good size and hit the spot, but not special or flavorful like most coffee places opt for with their versions. Make sure you go the restrooms when you visit bc it's clean and super cute.
