Cafe Diem..so you dare not ask for refill of coffee. You just get one cup. ..even though the word cafe is in the title. Coffee was cold and when we asked if they could microwave it..they did and it took forever to get it back and it was actually the same temperature if not colder. If you are looking for friendly staff..forget it. We will come back..always will give the place a second chance. This was their second chance yesterday and because we were with a handicapped friend..we didn't get up and walk out. Fyi..we ourselves owned a restaurant for over 50 years and definitely wouldn't have survived that long with this kind of service. Management here needs to get in control!

Unfortunately, this restaurant is going downhill. I’d really like to see it. Get back on its feet. When I first started going in it was wonderful. Loved it, and suggested it to everyone. Now I’ve had burnt to undercooked food. Today the omelette was runny and the hashbrowns were rubbery. I hate to see them loose their good reputation. Hoping management catches this post.

I've been to Cafe Diem many times at this point. I love their coffee the it's a great date spot or meeting place. If you go to DMACC Ankeny, it's a great escape from campus and a two minute drive. Love it

This place is a great spot to begin your day or take a break in the middle of a busy one. Kindness all over, a good overall vibe that surfaces due to the layout and spacing. I loved my breakfast burrito. Workspace available, but it can get crowded. WiFi. Drive-through. Tabitha is terrific.

A great cafe! They have a small group meeting room that a club I attend uses every month that provides a space for 10 or so people. Good drinks & desserts too! Highly recommend
First time I've gone here, and it was really good! Iced Americano exactly as requested. Great medium roast shots, Breakfast sandwich portion large and most of all, the lady running the counter and the wait staff were very nice. Great place to take a break and have coffee.

I got a decaf iced latte which was solid, above average. I got the whiskey bacon jam breakfast sandwich which was outstanding. It was flavourful and the bread was beautifully pillows, will definitely have again! Saturday morning the place was fairly busy, but there was still space and tables available. Good experience and worth a visit.

I came here for a meeting with some coworkers. We ordered our coffees and the owner actually took order. She was very kind and our coffees were out in no time. I love the atmosphere of this coffee shop. It’s not too loud where you can’t have a good conversation with others, but it’s just the right volume where you can be productive. Great service! I highly recommend!

cafe diem is my favorite coffee shop that i've tried!! only thing that comes close was a coffee shop in colorado and portland. it's easy to tell that the espresso Cafe Diem uses is high quality, it really makes a difference in the taste!! their service is great, i've always had friendly interactions with the staff. my drink took a little longer to make one day and they upgraded the size of my drink as an apology (which was totally unnecessary but a good representation of how amazing this place is). i always stop by when im in ankeny!! best iced oatmilk honey latte ❤️❤️
