Probably the best coffee in town, with a nice selection of small eats. They are always packed during prime hours which makes quite conversation difficult. Good location in a budding area.

I love this place so much and am so sad I live far enough away that this isn’t my daily haunt, because I know it would be. Anytime I have the opportunity to go, I take it. I love their americano but the dark roast black coffee is also a delicious treat. I get my sugar intake from the Almond Patties. If you like Dutch letters, these will be your new go-to pastry.

Brown sugar scone + oat milk latte = a perfect morning! Who doesn’t love a local coffee shop with great options and amazingly friendly staff?

Of course the coffee is great, but you also gotta try the Ron Swanson breakfast sandwich. It is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had.

First time here and perhaps my last time. I arrived about 7:40am and there were 2 people in front of me. I ordered house coffee—black—and a maple bacon ranch crossaint (AMAZING). From the get-go, the other patrons were staring at me like they were seeing a Martian...let's just say I didn't feel entirely welcome as a person of color in this Waukee coffee shop. The positive thing about the experience was that someone complimented my rainbow Iowa coffee mug (from home) and that I beat the rush, because from 7:57am til I left at 9am, there were at least 7 people in line at any point in time. The coffee isn't good black, it's quite bitter and might taste good with a bunch of milk and sugar. Cute farmhouse/industrial theme, but overall, not my cup of tea, unfortunately.

This is my favorite coffee shop. Everyone is friendly and their drinks are well balanced without too much sweetness. I need to try the food next.

This wasn’t my first time visiting and definitely won’t be my last. Love the breakfast croissant and even better the customer service and friendly staff! Highly recommend if you are in Waukee! Love supporting this local spot when I get the chance.

This place is fantastic! I ordered the Butter Pecan Latte in house. It was so delicious & their breakfast is tasty. I don't know what sauce they put on their breakfast sandwiches but it's dangerously good! Perfect atmosphere to bring friends & have a great morning.

Really good coffee as you would expect from a coffee shop but what was even more amazing was their brown sugar bacon croissant.. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I have had. The ambiance is typical coffee shop and service is prompt.
