La Barista Coffee

Coffee shop with mountain vibes. Super friendly staff, great coffee and good food. Iced coffee was one of the best I have had in town.

An unexpected, cozy coffee shop. I feel like I’m at a ski resort or Stars Hollow, but with way better prices. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is perfect for studying.

This is almost the perfect coffee shop. It wasn’t busy but there were other people like me camped with laptops, doing work. The drive through did seem to get a lot of traffic. The coffee was very good, the pastry was fine, the people were super nice and helpful. There were lots of outlets and good Wi-Fi. The only slight complaint for which I would never dock a star is that I found the music a little loud and aggressive.

Look online for their menu if you are like me and need to see the options.
I love that they do decaf iced drinks. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious and taste better than a fast food restaurant. I also love the assortment of breads and pastries you can get - I really enjoy the banana bread. Thankful this place is near my house!

The coffee is always good, food is fine, but it's a coffee shop so food isn't important to me. The baritas, and owner are super friendly. I also enjoy supporting local businesses, so it's a win there as well.

Legendary local spot, owner and staff are amazing people and the friendliest bunch. Coffee is always delicious, shop is cozy+inviting, and the cinnamon rolls and coffee cake are special treats. First and longest running coffee spot I know of in WDM with a drive up window.

Absolutely love this place, coffee is so good and reasonably priced! The staff is always always so nice and friendly! I don’t live in Des Moines but i always come here when I’m in town!

Found this gem randomly while driving down Grand and was glad we stopped. Nice feeling on the inside and the coffee was priced fairly and much better than the chains like Starbucks and Dunkin. Whether drive thru or going in, we will be back and suggest others giving it a try as well.

Love this local coffee shop! Great service, fair prices and delicious coffee. The drive through situation is a little funky but it’s worth the kerfuffle for a good cup of Joe. Remember to support your local businesses!

I’ve traveled for many years all over the USA due to my work. This family owned(by the girls😂) Coffee Shop is beyond one of the BEST! I enjoy the being called by my name as if I’d been coming here the 27 years they’ve been in business. Ideal menu to compliment the Java recipes, Smoothies, & Pastries. Do yourself a favor & stop by this laid back hangout as they are open 7 days a week😀. Thanks All of you, Dad too☺️, for the kick start to most of my days! Later👊🏻👍🏼
