I first heard about this coffee shop from a coworker. Their coffee is, quite literally, the best…read morecoffee I've ever had. I'd genuinely love to know which local roasters they source their beans from. What stands out most is how smooth the coffee is--there's absolutely no bitter aftertaste. Their honey brown sugar latte deserves special recognition. So many honey lattes either taste overly artificial or like the honey is barely there at all. Not this one. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and it's honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. I could drink gallons of it. The quality is fantastic and I've found myself thinking about that latte long after I've finished it. My only complaint is that I don't live closer. If I did, I'd probably be there every day.

What a neat little coffee shop! We stopped in in need of some caffeine this morning and were not…read moredisappointed! We ordered an iced mocha latte and iced snickerdoodle latte. The snickerdoodle was perfectly spiced and still had some coffee flavor. The mocha was delicious, certainly an occasional treat as it is more of a coffee milkshake than a coffee. We also ordered the mini apple cider donuts which were okay, they seemed to be plain donuts tossed in cinnamon sugar and the dough had a funny aftertaste. Overall they have a killer menu and a cute & homey sitting area and patio. With so many coffee and caffeine drinks to try- we'll be back!

It's a place that feels like a big chain, but it's just very modern and techie that makes good coffee. My kids loved getting the hot chocolate flight and I enjoyed my Halloween themed coffee flight as well. My husband got the pistachio latte and really enjoyed it, and both of us liked our scones. The only thing that really really threw me off was opening the door and instantly being hit by a wave of something that smelled like a hairdresser's place. I don't think I've ever been to a coffee shop with decent coffee that didn't smell like really good coffee. I don't know if it's the spaces nearby (it's in a strip) or the fact that it's a workspace and so the smell dissipates, but it was very offputting to have that smell in a coffee shop. Other than that, it was a great experience.

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!

It wasn't too loud though. I had a lavender latte and a breakfast sandwich and it was wonderful! They allow you to also order just one or two of their speciality pancakes, so two friends each got a Nutella and cinnamon roll pancake on the side. It was all delicious! Lots of parking outside, counter service was friendly, I'll be back much more often!

However I still did not enjoy the coffee but I appreciate them remaking it. My friend got a chai and we each got egg and cheese bagels. The total came out to be a little over $30 for those 4 items. I felt like this was overpriced for drink and food quality that was not tasty.

I genuinely don't understand the hype around 7 Brew. We pulled up and there wasn't a menu anywhere…read moreto look at. Before even asking what we'd like, the employee walked up and immediately asked for our phone number, which felt odd when we hadn't even decided if we wanted anything yet. When we asked to see a menu, instead of providing one, she rattled off a few "popular drinks." We ended up having to pull out our phones and search for the menu ourselves while sitting in the drive-thru. I ordered a cold brew and it was honestly one of the worst coffees I've ever had. It tasted like plain black iced coffee with some syrup mixed in... no smooth cold brew flavor at all. To make matters worse, the price was basically the same as Starbucks. Between the confusing ordering process, the push for personal information, the lack of a visible menu, and the disappointing coffee, I don't see any reason to come back.

I visited the Clive location on Father's Day and was very disappointed with the experience…read more First, they were completely out of decaf coffee, which was frustrating since I do not drink caffeine. Second, there was a Father's Day promotion for a specialty koozie, but we were told at the window that we could not receive it because we only ordered one drink--even though we were there specifically for the promotion and intended to order more items. Finally, the service felt disorganized. The staff appeared more focused on socializing with each other than on customers, which impacted the overall experience and efficiency of service. Overall, this visit did not meet expectations in terms of product availability, clarity of promotions, or customer service.

My son was thrilled with his sprinkle donut, especially with the fun, non-standard colors like blue and green. My husband's apple fritter had a strong cinnamon flavor with bits of apple; it was a bit crunchier on the edges than we expected, but still delicious. We got an old fashioned for our one-year-old, and it was the perfect choice - not too sweet, nor sticky. The big surprise was the breakfast sausage sandwiches my husband and son ordered. The high-quality egg, sausage, and cheese on a fresh croissant were fantastic. I took a bite and was truly impressed, especially for the price... under $5 is very reasonable for the size. I was waffling over the Kona iced coffee, so a worker kindly gave me a sample. It was stronger, sweeter, and creamier than I expected, so I happily purchased a cup. The shop itself is small and can get a bit crowded, so it's probably not the best spot if you're planning to sit and eat inside. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Ankeny though. I can already imagine grabbing donuts and coffee to enjoy at the park with the kids once the weather warms up!
