Finally had the opportunity to stop here while in the area for another appointment. Even though it was getting late in the morning, the place was still busy and the smells were fantastic!

The good news is that your donuts are made to order and very fresh (or you can get some that were previously made), the bad news is that you need to wait about 20 minutes to get your freshly-made order.

Very unique donuts with a wide variety of toppings to satisfy almost any taste buds. This place will definitely put a smile on your face when these tasty bite-sized donuts are combined with a delicious cup of coffee. You can't go wrong with a stop here.

Cute coffee shop with ample parking. I ordered the fit frappe and 6-ct donuts. I will say it did take 15 minutes and I counted 7 workers with only 2 people ahead of me. However, the miniature donuts were delicious. They’re basically fried dough with different toppings poured over top. The these was really cute being Hawaiian, complete with the umbrella for the presentation. Probably not an every day coffee shop place but once in a while to treat yourself or take the kids out for a unique experience!

The donuts are AMAZING. So light and fluffy with the perfect toppings. There was one guy when we went and he greeted us upon entry and was very friendly when taking our order and bringing out the donuts. Very cute decor, we sat by the door in the comfy chairs. We had the Cinnamon Lava (my favorite), Northshore Sprinkles, S’more Shoreline, and Strawberry (forgot the actual name but these were my boyfriend’s favorite)

10/10 would recommend to anyone who enjoys donuts, will have to go back to try a coffee or drink soon!

Best coffee and breakfast place in West Des Moines! The service was super nice. Coffee was excellent, sandwich was perfect and the fresh made donuts were heavenly. They can get very busy so plan accordingly... But for sure make them part of your breakfast game!

Not only are there donuts made fresh, they taste amazing, fluffy and they have a great selection. Mango Tropical freeze is pretty good too. We had these guys cater our wedding and everyone loved them. Tron was great to deal with.

The coffee is really good! It was nice to see atypical syrups for the coffees as well. I got a banana latté and it was amazing! I also really love how light and airy the mini-doughnuts are. We got the standard cinnamon and sugar and spoiled ourselves with the sea-salted caramel. Soooo good and I don't even like sweets. Also, the staff here is SO NICE!!!

I just got a delivery so I haven't been to this place in person, but I can't wait to visit!! The island style doughnuts are little fluffy clouds of deliciousness and the drink (black rock, iced) complimented them with some bitterness (the good coffee kind of bitterish taste). Anyways, I was super happy to find this place and will be back as soon as possible!

This is one cozy and cute cafe that has a Hawaiian touch to it. Their mini donuts stood out for me. They’re freshly made, the flavours are too too good and just melt in your mouth. Do not miss to try their salted apple and blueberry donuts they just leave you drooling. Their coffees and shakes are next level. I love their vanilla latte. This is also an amazing place for kids. It’s too cute.

A slice of the islands right in West Des Moines! Love the atmosphere inside! Feels like you are in a little cafe on vacation! Loved the apple mini donuts and iced black tea! Great place to catch up with a friend or business coffee meeting!

Absolutely amazing place. Donuts were warm and fresh. Kiddo and I ordered iced coffees- the ice was made with coffee to keep it from watering down the other coffee! Honey donuts and maple bacon donuts were just out of this world. Pricey for all of this, but SOOOOOO WORTH IT. Plan to be regulars here. A++!
