Had breakfast for the first time here and it was a great experience. Excellent food, service, and great prices. Every one was so friendly and we loved the atmosphere.
This is my FAVORITE SPOT in Ankeny, and I’m SO HAPPY that Ankeny Cafe is open on Saturdays now!
I was only able to go every so often when they were just Mon-Fri, but now I’m sure I’ll be there almost every Saturday 🤩
