50 Best Coffee Shops near Cumming

“This Starbucks is definitely #1 in the DSM/WDM metro. Emma is EMMAzing. Alyssa is a fantastic manager. Margo is MAR-GOATED. Lydia is really awesome. Grace is GRACEFUL in her work. Brooklyn (Brookie) is awesome sauce. I've come to the night crew twice, but those two nailed it as well.

Entire place is always clean.

Service is always #1

Drink are always made perfect and I absolutely LOVE the messages they write. Not generic. They're truly personal.

Flowers to the entire crew!“

“Was looking for a better coffee place to support -rather than a corporation that funds unethically internationally, or a local place that treats their employees horribly. I love that Mayalu is local, delicious, and invested in the community. Feels good to spend my treat money here ☕️ 🥮.“

“Beautiful roasts, great pour overs, delicious shots and Gibraltars. Best in the state that I’ve found! Keep it up guys. Omg and the scones…perfect.“

“Wonderfully kind staff, our first visit was perfect. We tried thier seasonal smores latte and its the best I ever had. I recommend any of their crepes!“

“This coffee shop has it all! 1. The best coffee, specifically the cold brew latte is AMAZING! Second is Spanish Latte when I need something hot. 2. The best hospitality team! I can't say enough great things about Jack and Macie and the rest of the baristas! 3. The owner has created an atmosphere that you can't find at other coffee shops. This place is truly one of a kind!“

“Tried Hyper Energy Grand Island for the 1st time and wasn't disappointed at all. Great Serviice, great drinks and great flavor.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! Owner is amazing and really knows his Pokémon cards and his coffee! Has an excellent selection of cards, old and new, and has great prices! Coffee was excellent and cards were even better!“

“New paved parking lot directly across 28th street as of summer 2025. C&S will validate parking when changes to paid lot in future, so don’t let lack of parking deter you anymore. Lattes are on par with the best coffee shops in town. Mechanics and shop owner are top notch. I was a Rassy’s refugee and found my new home here.“

“My 9 year old son and I visited the week after Christmas. We are from out of town and looking for unique experiences in Des Moines and this fit the bill. The baristas were so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy. The cats were obviously the highlight for us. We enjoyed our hour watching them play, skitter around and interact with eachother. Core memories made for sure.“

“Just popped into The Coffeesmith to try it out for the first time - I immediately had to run and leave a review bc it’s just that good! I tried the summer seasonal smores latte, I am a smores latte connoisseur, and this one was amazing!! But what really had me running to leave a stellar review? The almond patty pastry. Only one bite into it and I’ve determined it’s going to be something I crave way too often. Growing up in Eastern Iowa as a bohemie, iykyk, I frequently visited Jaarsma’s and know my way around almond pastries of all kinds. The Coffesmith’s almond patty rivals all others! You have to have it! 🤩🥐“

“Always so fast, but not in a hurry. Just watched them clear a line of 5 cars in 1 minute. Drinks always taste the same.“

“Gotta get a Sputnik- you’ll never go back!“

“They have the best coffee and yummy food!!“

“This place is really amazing, I love the breakfast burritos. They got a new espresso machine and the espresso taste amazing! The wait was like 2 mins but I understand because they are all learning the new machine! I will keep coming back, the employees are very kind. The barista Lyssa made a really great latte, and lily at the register was very sweet! I really appreciate them! Will continue to come“

“Stopped on a Sunday morning. Charming outside area with plantyvof seating. Inside also has plenty of seating. I was thrilled to be offered a triple shot cortado versus double. The service was pleasant and quick. The coffee flavor was excellent as that is what I seek.“

“Ordered ahead on the app which is always a breeze. Walked in and there was only two me girl working. She was pretty busy but kicking butt! Unfortunately I didn’t catch her name but she was friendly as well and the drinks were good! The pumpkin white mocha is good in moderation, it didn’t mention spice in the app so wasn’t expecting the spice flavor.“

“This is a drive-thru coffee shop that's similar to a CarHop from the 1950s. Fun, super friendly, fast service at your car. The music is blasting and the girls come out to your car to take your order. It's usually pretty busy with several vehicles in line waiting, but the service is fast and the drinks are diverse with creative new mixtures. It's less expensive than Caribou or Starbucks. There is no dine-in option, the only drawback.“

“My friend Lonnie and I have been on a quest to try everything on the menu and have not been disappointed yet the breakfast sandy is one of a kind the hash browns like you've never had french toast from heaven the Italian is delicious their yellowfin tuna sandwich perfect Today we both did the burger 100% dry aged beef cooked to a perfect medium juicy 😋 Lonnie had the ff I did side salad Try it and VOTE it as the best burger in Iowa contest“

“Great local food with excellent service!“

“Great neighborhood coffee.“

“Dont sleep on Scooters! Quality and selection are way better than the StarBz! Everyone is always so helpful with ordering and super friendly. Prices also beat out SB. Oreo Blender medium $6.15 & its so good you will dream about it! They always give our girls pup cups too and thats huge for our spoiled rotten puppies. The coffee is delish, the service is great. We choose Scooters over every other option in Norwalk, every time.“

“Chowrastha Indian Grill & Eatery serves delicious Indian food with rich flavors and great portions. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is friendly, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal!“

“The drinks are always delicious but the staff here made my day!!“

“Kayla and Jayden made my morning!!! Kayla has a great smile and wonderful personality! I was having a bad morning due to Starbucks not taking my order because they could not cash a large bill. Does money not buy things anymore???
needless to say, I did not have that problem here thank you for getting my coffee order taken of and getting me happily back on the road!!“

“Visited this Caribou on Sunday May 1st. We like the coffee here. Ordered a large Northern Latte with almond milk and sugar free caramel. Waited for 20 minutes to be handed an iced Latte and a little longer to be handed a medium instead of a large and couldn't wait any longer so we drove away with a wrong size coffee.“

“Yesterday my boss picked up coffee and breakfast sandwiches for us at the shop. O.M.G! The coffee was fantastic as usual, the breakfast sandwiches are amazing! 10 thumbs (there's 5 of us) way up!“

“Great service and delicious healthy food.Thanks Saphyre and Alexa!“

“Norwalk, West Des Moines and Altoona workers are so so amazing, they are always so welcoming, kind and willing to answer an questions.. every time l go I’m greeted with a smile and good energy, absolutely love the environment, definitely recommend trying every location 🤗“

“Every time I go to this location everyone is so friendly! Love getting my morning coffee fix here.“

“This Caribou is great every time! When I don’t feel like trudging into my favorite local spot in the East Village, I head to the drive thru here and every time is great! The employees are kind from beginning to end of every visit! Thank you!“

“Favorite coffee spot in Iowa!“

“I'm extremely picky about boba so it can be hard to find boba places that I like, and I thought I had found my favorite boba place... and then I tried Zenko and now other boba will never beat it lol. I'm a very routine-order person so I've only ever tried the black sugar milk tea with boba here, but I lowkey just never bothered trying any of their other drinks simply because this one is so good. Most of my friends who do like several of their drinks also tend to gravitate towards the black sugar milk tea as well, though, so I feel validated in always ordering the same drink over and over :) It's also so cozy and fun inside all the shops--I've been to three of the locations and they all have the same relaxing vibe, lots of plants and soft music.“

“Everytime I come here, the girl at the register is so sweet to me and I read her name off her nametag and it's Grace. I've had so much bad experiences at other Starbucks locations or Dunkin Donuts locations but no complaints about this one!“

“Sarah K. is truly one of a kind, and Starbucks is incredibly fortunate to have her as a manager at the Downtown Des Moines 10th & Locust location. Her customer service skills are unmatched - she handles every order with care and makes everyone feel valued and respected. Sarah consistently goes above and beyond for every single customer, setting the gold standard for what exceptional customer service should look like. She even personally delivers orders to customers throughout the store, which speaks volumes about her dedication. I would be remiss not to mention the rest of her team, who are nothing short of phenomenal. I truly cannot say enough great things about Sarah and her team! She absolutely deserves all the recognition and more for the incredible experience she consistently provides. If every store were led the way Sarah leads hers, customer service everywhere would be better for it!“

“They have the best protein shakes. I’m excited to try the pudding and waffles. They smell delicious.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I hit up this Starbucks location every day, even with plenty of other options around. The staff here is what keeps me coming back. They make my morning!

It’s not just about the coffee; it’s the friendly vibe that makes my mornings better. If you want a consistent experience and great service, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

“The newest Starbucks in the area. The store is very clean and great layout. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The space is ample but more steating would be nice. There is too much merchandise in the way to order and is a terrible attempt to sell you other Starbucks products.“
