Porch Light Coffeehouse

Great place. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great place to meet a friend over a cup of coffee. Only small issue was that the coffee wasn't very hot. It came from a large insulate carafe and it was luke warn. Tasted good, but should have been a little hotter.

Some days require more caffeine than others! We love porch light for days when a regular old coffee just won’t do the trick! They are a great place to catch up with old friends in Ankeny!

My favorite coffee shop for many reasons. The drinks are great and the atmosphere is cozy, yet features many tables for setting up your laptop if you want to get some work done. Its building in Uptown Ankeny is beautiful and the perfect place to stop if you want something to sip while supporting the other local businesses in the area. Perhaps most importantly, the owners and employees are KIND. I haven’t once in five and a half years been greeted with anything less than a smile and warm welcome. When you lead a business with kindness and compassion and a heart for others, everything else seems to fall into place, and Porch Light proves this to be true. I’m so glad they have become an Uptown mainstay and I will support them every step of the way in the future!

Amazing staff 😊, awesome coffee ☕, excellent location 🏢, and a very cozy fireplace 🔥☺.

Wish we would have come here sooner, this place is amazing! Absolutely love the decorations. We sat down drank our amazing coffee and played board games. We will def be coming back!

Wonderful ambiance. Plenty of seating and the game wall is a nice touch. This is a really comfortable space. I ordered a decaf latte which was smooth tasting, not bitter at all. Pleasant drink, overall. I would visit again.

What a fabulous coffee shop in the heart of Ankeny! I got their mini cinnamon sugar donuts and a latte. Also they these delicious looking cream sodas on tap. Great service, friendly environment, and will definitely be back!

Don't waste your time with a chain coffee shop with this incredible gem nearby! Not only does this coffee shop have a variety of drinks ranging from cortados to amazing lattes in a variety of flavors, but the employees are out of this world as well! They can pull a mean (strong) espresso shot, but its extremely balanced as well.

The staff is extremely patient and knowledgeable, and more than willing to make custom drinks.
They offer plenty of milk alternatives, and syrup flavorings as well.
The baked goods are incredible as well! The scones and Cinnamon roll were wonderful; they were very moist and tender.
If you're in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and give them a try!

I definitely love this place! It's so nice to have a comfy place to study and crank out homework. I feel comfortable here and the coffee is delicious! One suggestion I have is that you could display a complete list of your flavor options. I see the bottles of flavor on the shelf behind the cashier/barista but I wish I could read them from a list! I love mixing flavors in my coffee. Thank You!

Great coffee and an even better atmosphere. Tons of tables, couches, and arm chairs make this a warm and comfortable place to meet or study.
