Friedrichs Coffee

Busy little coffee shop. Offering free samples and the staff was very welcoming, which gets them to 3 stars. Tried to order a pour over and was told they cannot make it because “we don’t have a pot.”

Seems like a weird excuse to not make something on your menu, especially when a coffee shop has been open for more than a few weeks. Seems like something is off every time I visit a Friedrich’s, which is why I don’t visit more often. Disappointing.

Tip: you don’t need a proper kettle to make a good pour over.

Owner is a wonderful man and his staff gives amazing service! Maybe John doesn’t like this place because he doesn’t know how to spell latte lol! Jk, I thought the owner was very respectful on his response, especially the way “John” spoke about the place! Are people really complaining about the staff, during a Pandemic! You’re lucky their even open to service the community and the Government practically changes the policy on a daily basis? We have to ask ourselves, when voting, how many people have lost their jobs and businesses! Thank you for being open and helping the community! Starbucks just wear a mask and I haven’t seen anyone wearing gloves and if you’re that scared of Corona, stay home! If you actually do research on the virus, masks don’t do much to protect you anyway; it’s so small, it can infiltrate the mask! FYI, I actually think it has spread more because people just use sanitizer which really only works, if you use it AFTER you wash your hands! Look it up! I work in an OR, so that’s how I know! Take care everyone and just breathe and relax! We will get through this with God’s help and please try to support local business owners, who are suffering from this virus 🦠 and the people that have lost their jobs and lives! I just think we need to get our priorities in order! God Bless and thank you for staying open in this crazy world!

Great smoothies and coffee.4 stars because caribou beats them on mochas .but very good overall

Good spot if you want to sit outside. Not much space to sit inside, no drive thru.

Hope can add gift cards to the app

Coffee was outstanding. My husband and I were at the coffee house on 22nd. Two gals working there. The blonde was ok, the dark haired girl was annoyed by us and didn't want to be working. My husband and I both had the same feeling about her. Rude! We are Christians and I know the coffee house is owned by a Christian company. Doesn't make Christians look good.

I have been going to a Friedrich's for over 20 years. Friedrich's has become many things to me over the years. Recently, I heard that the owner fired 2 people from the 22nd Street store and then many of the remaining employees quit in support. I have developed relationships with many of the employees. I accept the right of the owner to hire and fire people at their will.
In the future, I will think LONG and HARD about where I go to have a cup of coffee and refreshment.

Longtime customer

Coffee is really yummy and so is their breakfast sandwiches. Can't wait to try their smoothies!
Service for food can take a little bit, but definitely worth the wait.

The employees need a boost of confidence, or something. The coffee, and the ambiance was great. I’ve been to about 20 coffee shops in the Des Moines metro, this is in the top three. I’ll be back.

Pleasant and quick staff plus great coffee. Also bought some beans here and they were wonderful.
