Smokey Row Coffee

First off, amazing coffee; I will stop here anytime I am in the Des Moines area! Secondly, the staff are lovely and are helpful when you have questions.

I highly recommend the Sweet Georgia Brown Iced with an extra shot and oat milk. My wife gets the Butterscotch Latter and enjoys that as well.

I've had their coffee, tea, and pastries at this location and have never been disappointed! Everyone that works here is so nice and seems genuinely happy to be there. I always get to-go but the space is very inviting and I would stay if I had more time.

I really want to like this place. The food isn't that great, but that's fine, it's a coffee shop. The iced coffee is good, but the hot coffee seems to always be luke warm at best which really bums me out.

My Americano = burned. My daughter’s London fog = not made with steamed milk first. My daughter had to tell her how to make it, then overheard the manager say to the drink person (not calling her a barista yet) that my daughter didn’t know what she’s talking about. Is that because my daughter is a different nationality? My daughter IS a barista and a good one. My wife’s chocolate mocha is cool not hot. She said “whole milk & and the drink person asked her if that meant 2%. You can’t make this up.

What a GREAT Coffee Shop find!!! We really enjoyed the caramel cold brew & ice white mocha with vanilla cold foam to top them off! We will be back!!

Coffee and food is usually pretty spot on. Sometimes they're really slow and sometimes they mess up my drink, but they're humans too. Overall, a great coffee shop with good local coffee and they have a pretty good rewards setup. Their mobile app never works (at any location) so that would be my one suggestion for improvement.

Amazing place , I just love the sweet Georgia brown breve with an xtra shot & whip cream. My advice? Get it in a medium! Just love me some Tracy!

This is the kind of place I really WANT to love. But there are a lot of things that just aren’t being done well.

To start with the positive, I do love their coffee! I keep coming back for the iced Sweet Georgia Brown. The Cafe Borgia is also good, though I think would probably be best as a hot drink because of the orange peel shavings.

Things that I’m not loving are the service in the drive thru. They are very short with you. Dining in is better service however any food items take a very long time to come out. I was also very disappointed by their “beloved” chicken pot pie biscuits. It took a long time to come out and I was the only dine in customer they were making something for. It was cold when I got it and had a piece of plastic packaging in the food. I can only presume they made it from a frozen packet which is disappointing for something they say on their menu is something “everyone likes”.

I would recommend coming for the coffee, but not the food.

This smokey row location is very nice! It's never super crowded and there are always open tables. The associates assist quickly and efficiently and the lady working today was very kind and checked in on me several times.

Service is fantastic. Thanks Abby!

Coffee is excellent. Great specialty menu.
