I don't usually take the time to write reviews but this is unfortunately such a repeated circumstance, I felt it was time to address it. I love Smokey Row and have been a customer for years. During covid, I started utilizing the drive through on an almost daily basis. I have never been to a coffee shop where my order is messed up more times than this drive through. Today, yet ANOTHER entirely incorrect drink was made via the drive through. It's almost hard to believe how routine mistakes are made in that drive through - which leads me to think is it the baristas, the speaker system, etc? I can't figure it out but it's too routine to not be addressed at this point.

The last 3 times I’ve tried to come here, their kitchen has been closed. Last time I was here 2 hours before closing and today I was here an hour before closing.

Just had some at my nephew’s graduation at party and it was really good. But the cornbread was outstanding!

Lovedddd this place! Came here on a road trip for a quick latte and it’s super good! The vibes of this place is what makes me want to give it a higher ranking, though. The staff is nice and it’s just such a cool scenery. They also have a very large menu so there’s a lot to get! 10/10 recommend!

I love this place to meet friends and catch up. It’s quiet, cozy and contemporary. They have a variety of coffee bar items breakfast items lunch items I would say they have healthy options and desserts as well. We sat on the patio, which was very nice great location and tons of parking.

I love Smokey Row. I get their coffee a lot at the Des Moines location. I also buy their coffee grounds for use at home with my espresso machine.
However, the Ankeny location is EXTREMELY slow. It took them 20 min to get me a basic coffee. That’s the second time it’s taken so long at the Ankeny location. I get faster service at a sit down restaurant.

The food is great... When they get it right. This is the third time my request for a bagel on my sandwich was wrong. I guess I have to start double checking everything in the drive through from now on.
Decent coffee, and energy drinks. I usually come here for business related purposes - meeting clients, lenders, etc.

I enjoy their coffee. Overall I have only had one poor experience at Smokey Row. I love their seasonal coffee drinks.

Great coffee for an affordable price! Other coffee places charge more for the same thing!

I've been consistently impressed with Smokey Row Coffee! The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The drive-thru service is quick, which is perfect for when I'm in a hurry. The quality of their coffee is top-notch—always delicious. One of my personal favorites is the pistachio latte. Highly recommend this spot. One of my favorite places for meetings.
