Horizon Line Coffee

First time here and I loved it. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing to have conversation. The coffee was too delicious. Drank mine in 2.5 seconds.

It got a little loud around 9:30ish once the rest of the world waking up decided to come in but that's to be expected when a place like this exist.

I shall return. 💯

The best matcha latte I have ever had! Friendly and highly skilled staff. My favorite destination coffee/tea house.

Iced latte and vegan ginger lime scone were amazing!! I’m allergic to nuts, and the barista went so far as to call the baker just to make sure the scone was safe. Thank you so much!

Lovely neighborhood cafe that roasts their own coffee. Nice cafe space, attentive service, and a small selection of pastries. Very good coffee.

If you’re in Des Moines and you love coffee, this place has to be on your list. Perfectly crafted latte. Even the vegan scones were good. Atmosphere was spot on.

Favorite coffee shop. Love the drinks and staff. Their sustainability efforts are awesome. This shop has brought me joy on some of my worst days! :)

You won't be disappointed. If you love coffee, you must stop here! Excellent range of coffee varieties offered and a welcoming shop that cares about the environment.

Bourbon peach latte was amazing as was the hummingbird latte ( daily specials)

I visited Horizon Line for the first time today, and I'm looking forward to coming back!
My shot of espresso was outstanding - one of the best I've had anywhere, let alone in Iowa, where third wave coffee is a bit hard to come by. Very pleasant bright acidity up front, with some nice complexity in the finish, and a smooth (almost creamy) body. I am not a barista myself, but I know it isn't easy to pull off a great light-roast espresso like this.
On top of the great espresso, Brad was super friendly - and when he picked up from my comments that I am a bit of a coffee geek, he took the time to chat with me about their beans and process, which was I thought was really gracious (and interesting, too!).
I didn't have the opportunity to try a filter coffee today, but I did take some beans home - they have a nice selection of single-origin coffees, including a micro-lot Ethiopian that I can't wait to brew up.

Best coffee place I have ever been to. The Purple Rain special drink right now is beyond great, and they are an ethically sound business. Love it!
