“Amazing selection and great taste! The staff is so knowledgeable and always give me great recommendations when I can’t decide what I want! Keep up the great work!“

“What a great place to sit and read with coffee! It is clean and well lit. Server was friendly but not 'over the top,' which we appreciated because it's coffee, you know, really good coffee but still low key enough to enjoy not just the beverage but the drinking of it, too.“

“I LOVE Cafe Diem! Every time I go I feel like I’m at home. Tabitha is an amazing barista/host and always helps me with getting a high chair and bringing my drink over. She is very kind and welcoming and makes me want to keep coming back!! I would recommend Cafe Diem to anyone!“

“Great staff!! Great drinks! Excellent service! Super location!“

“The entrance is actually directly below the TJ.Bagels sign however, I visited 2 days ago and was treated great by the customer service at the desk and with my order. They were trying and had patience since the sign I referenced was no longer there.

I didn't have any fun in the past that I wasn't pleased with the employee's customer service or the attitude.I could tell was going on behind the counter. Nevertheless, the food was good and atmosphere could be enhance with a few more comfy options. I chose cheese and egg on a croissant, An assiago bagel with garden vedge, And my new favorite, the caramel apple cider. Which, by the way, is not just a fall or seasonal drink... It's available year round!“

“Travelling through Iowa and wanted to have dinner at someplace other than fast food. 36th Street Tavern was the place to go- food was excellent, atmosphere great, service topnotch! Check it out ..If we lived near we'd frequent this place often!“

“Great custom service and such an awesome atmosphere“

“Café X is AWESOME!! Sara leads a fantastic team! They provide several healthy & convenient options that work perfect for our Trail Point members after a tough workout :)“

“We chose to check out in a lane that had a first day cashier. The girl bagging the groceries was very helpful to him and us. He accidentally double charged us and the girl took it upon herself to get the approval from management to get it deducted and get us going to keep the line moving!!! Very impressed!! Thank you to the two working isle 5 today!! You are what Hy-Vee is supposed to be!!!“

“Absolutely delicious food and very authentic. America is usually our waitress and she does a fantastic job. The enchiladas de mole are my go-to rn. The tacos are phenomenal. The best in town.“

“Great new small locally owned business in Ankeny. Healthy foods make you feel good!“

“Starbucks is never going to get 5 stars from me because some boutique coffee shops have a lot of delicious things going on and syrups are hand-crafted. But, this Starbucks does have friendly staff. Starbucks efficiency, ability to make well-balanced drinks, as well as to have something for everyone is incredible. Many smaller places either have overly sugared drinks or don't know the difference between iced coffee and cold brew.“

“Starbucks us definitely a favorite for my daughters. They love their Starbucks drinks. The employees here always seem friendly and courteous as far as I see, and our drinks always come out correctly and in a prompt manner.

We went into the store once and also thought the coffee shop seemed clean and inviting. All in all, I would recommend this Starbucks location.
