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.

The place is immaculate and they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. For all my friends of the High Trestle Trail it literally is footsteps from their front door, you can eat their ice cream and ride your bike! WIN- WIN!!! The ice cream selections are amazing, and so many its is hard to choose, but i did! We got massive scoops of yummy, creamy deliciousness on a fresh and crispy waffle cone, of which they have several types to choose from. The workers on this particular day were fantastic, attentive and fast, They even hooked us up with some pup cups to go! (The dogs thank you!) If you are feeling like rewarding yourself or just have a hankering for something delicious and Ice Cream fits the bill, pop on in to the Uptown Dairy and try their treats! You will not be disappointed!

The barista was friendly and I signed up for their rewards program with my phone number. Hoping to come back and try another drink!

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.
