Best coffee shop in town. I recommend the homemade burritos. Always consistent including the fast and friendly service. A local gem!

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.

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!

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.

Cozy coffee shop. We went near closing and they ran out of regular and decaf, so we had to improvise on one of our drinks since we had already paid. The barista was accommodating with the situation and was able to create something else.

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.

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.

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👊🏻👍🏼

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.

I really enjoy this place, if you have time it is a great place to go inside for coffee and bakery items. Their coffee is great, much better than other “chain” options.

Coffee heaven in West Des Moines! When you wake up and realize that there must be more to coffee than what you find at your local chain stops I highly recommend you swing by here. The coffee is fresh, service is great, and the pastries are delicious. One of the few places where I feel like I walk away and receive excellent product for what I pay.
