Staff was friendly, but made the experience very awkward when asking for a tip at the window. I have worked in the service industry and find this very strange. You don’t ask a customer to their face how much of a tip they want to add AND especially before the service you provide. Put a tip jar outside the window if you want tips so bad. I read a very similar review and I agree that it puts the customer in a strange situation. Not to mention the service was extremely slow and my tornado (ice cream) was straight milk and all liquid.. could I also get my tip back? This was our first time at the Ankeny Smokey Row and I don’t believe we will be returning.

Good quick coffee and also a great place to meet a friend. It’s very quiet compared to the one downtown and the tables are spread far apart, which I know is necessary during the pandemic. But I hope this place is packed and full of noise like the older shop once life goes back to normal.

I really liked the appearance and feel in this place. If your going for coffee or ice cream I am guessing they will nail it. We got food. Eh. Microwave hamburger from what I am assuming is a bag. Kettle chips...yeah they were straight plain chips. Was a little disappointed. $1.83 for a small 8 oz glass of tea.
The staff was very friendly and the place was fairly clean. In this world of covid they have great options to spread out. The staff saved the review from about a high two.

The wait was a little long. It appeared as if four teenagers were running the cafe. Update: I received an iced drink after confirming I wanted a hot drink. It was still good, but still a little frustrating. Great atmosphere, however.

On Saturday October 10th bad. We ordered a bowl of cheeseburger clam chowder. When they bought out the food we said we ordered a bowl not a cup. The cup of soup was about 2/3 full. My dads was up to the top. The waitress said we ran out getting more but it will be a while. She said if you want we can give you credit. I took one bite of the soup and it was cold. We told the waitress the soup was very cold. I am sorry I will tell the cook. Reminder you she left the soup at that table and never came back. We had to ask for a refund and it took 4 people to fix the credit.. 😢😢 otherwise the other food was good.. never did get the soup😢😢

The food and drinks here are great! The service is horrible. My family and I stood in line for about 10 mins, we ordered our food and beverages and went and sat down to wait for another 10 mins. We received our food then waited another 10mins until we were called up to get one of our beverages. After another 10 mins we had to get up again to get another one of our other beverages. After we finished our meal, we still were short some items. It was not worth standing in line to get our missing items when we had already been there close to an hour. They need better management. I wish we would have gotten our beverages first and all at once, then our meals.

I ordered an iced coffee with a little cream and caramel flavor; what I got was pretty much cream with a little coffee and about a whole inch of caramel at the bottom of the cup, which was pretty disappointing. I will definitely give them another try though, I love the atmosphere and huge menu!

Delicious every time! I enjoy buying a bag of the blueberry cinnamon whole bean coffee and taking that home too. Support your local coffee house.

The Pineapple smoothie and the Smore Muffin were very tasty. It has a nice relaxed atmosphere to talk and get to know someone. There is free Wi-Fi.

They forgot my drink, but took the courtesy to make it for me right when I had asked for it.
