Friedrichs Coffee

Overall, pretty great. A little on the small side, but great vibes.

I have been going to Friedrichs for years. Absolutely love everything about them - best espresso, best cold brew, best nitro! Can't recommend them enough.

The coffee is good and I pick up beans there every couple of weeks for our espresso machine.

The staff seems to be the stereotypical younger generation who are more about looking at their phones and don’t have much of an idea on customer service.

Sitting on the counter on your when there is no one to be waited on is a very bad image.

I ordered something to go and the person basically let me do my own transaction and literally went and sat on the back counter as I was tapping through the touch screen.

Whoever is running the store really needs to have a training session and at least give a basic understanding of acceptable behaviors and customer service for employees.

My group was there for about 45 minutes and then that time I witnessed; workers on their phones, eating brownies and sitting on the counter. Very unprofessional

I had the Strawberry Smoothie and it was very delicious. Pricing was very affordable. The atmosphere was laid back although it can get quite loud inside so it might not be a great place to study unless you plan on listening to music.

They were so nice but the coffee was definitely not my favorite. I prefer my coffee with minimal sweetness so I ordered one pump of flavoring but I still couldn’t even drink it because it was like drinking straight syrup. But if that’s your thing then you might like it. Bonus for large cup sizes

My daily Epic Snickeroo Triple Shot made with love and sass!!
I drive out of my way to stop at this Fredericks. The drinks are always made right and if anything tastes off, the staff are on top of it to make it right.

My personal favorite coffee shop in Des Moines. Their drinks have very smooth coffee that they have roasted themselves, and their special drinks are not too sweet. Great, cozy atmosphere, and their prices are relatively low. Great muffins and bagels, and service is great!

People were very friendly and the coffee was amazing!

Great atmosphere and the staff was fantastic. My barista did a great job getting the sweetness of my coffee right and our other drinks were excellent as well. Would come here again. Four stars just because I had hoped that the beans would be fresher. Better than Starbucks, but still not quite fresh roasted, so the coffee suffers from a little bitterness.

Great tea selection! Their drinks and service are consistently good. I love the outdoor, shaded patio in the summer and the fireplace in the winter. It's a nice place to meet up with friends. Though if you're coming to study or work, plugs are few and far between.
