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!“

“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.“

“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 ☕️ 🥮.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great neighborhood coffee.“

“One of my favorite local coffee shops for sure. Great spot and coffee. The quality of drink seems heavily dependent on barista though. I get coffee here all the time and when made right, hands down one of the best. Just ordered a $7 latte from here today and it tastes like watered down milk. I feel like when I ask for half caffeine, some baristas just put half regular shot and no decaf shot, hence watery, bahhhh. Not always the case but can be a bummer when spending $7.“

“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!“

“Favorite coffee spot in Iowa!“

“Great coffee! We hit the drive through and it was maybe a minute from the time we ordered to the time our drinks were in our hands. Both were prepared perfectly and at enjoyable temperatures. A lot of places don’t listen when asked to make a latte drinkable temperature instead of scalding hot. Whoever made ours this morning did great!
Thank you, caribou crew!“

“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.“

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

“Tried the hydration bomb and it’s just what I needed“

“We submitted a large order for a 500+ person annual event--very impressed with the communication, professionalism, and high-quality of the chocolate, personalized with our logo and packaged as gifts, for our guests. Chocolaterie Stam will definitely top of our list for future gifts as a special treat!“

“Everyone is always so friendly and always takes the time to chat with us as we wait for our drinks. Couldn't ask for anything better. Yesterday the young lady that help us was so very friendly and had a great conversation with her and she was prompt when our drinks came out.“

“the two gals working about 1 oclock on 1/18/24 were awsome i ordered a iced daydreamer and they made it better , fast and efficient, ! greeted with a big smile! management should give these gals a raise !“

“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“

“Today was Teacher Appreciation day at Scooter's and just wanted to say that they were fast with my order, VERY pleasant and so kind. Thank you for the free drink ❤“

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

“Ive been a regular for awhile now. I go everyday M-F and some weekends. I get the same coffee. These ladies are absolutely incredible! They are so nice. When im the only one in line, they take the time to talk to me and make/continue a connection. Big shout out to the team! Love you all!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Service and product was exceptional! I tried the lavender latte which was fantastic and well prepared by the barista. Chocolate is also very tasty here.“

“This location rocks. If you’re looking for a place to study or get work done, this Caribou Coffee has a spacious dine-in area with many tables and chairs and even a conference room. Oftentimes at coffee shops, it seems that the sit down area has been downsized in order to promote drive-through ordering. Not the case with the Ingersoll location, perhaps harkening back to a more communal time. It is interesting that in the age of increased remote work, the number of work spaces within coffee shops (especially those of large chains) has decreased, but I digress… You can tell this Caribou predates the company’s consignment to the maw of private equity, since the interior incorporates rustic design elements like exposed wooden beams and stone-look floor tiles rather than the cheap vinyl flooring businesses opt for nowadays. Unlike the pale imitations we are presented with today, this location embodies precisely the winter-lodge character the name 'Caribou Coffee' evokes.“

“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!“

“Shout out to David at the drive thru! I work in customer service and thoroughly appreciated my experience today. It’s the little things :)“

“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 🤗“

“Totally recommend! We had a great experience! They were so friendly and helpful! Awesome customer service, delicious food, and great drinks!! We will be back!“

“It's just amazing & comfortable“

“Favorite coffee spot in Iowa!“

“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!“

“New and exciting! LOL.

This is a fancy Starbucks. We loved that they had half a dozen people working, because it was busy. Especially the drive through was 10 cars deep.

We went inside. They had a wall of dog customers 1st thing. My favorite thing ever.

Some merchandise available.

We had a pink drink, cake pop, regular coffee, and bagel. Total was $18. I don't really like coffee, and theirs is definitely not my favorite. BUT when in the mood, it does the trick. The bagel and cake pop were fresh and tasty.

Nice clean atmosphere including the bathrooms.

Seating for 40ish?“

“Excellent espresso! The service was friendly & outstanding, atmosphere cozy & welcoming. Really enjoyed our 2 visits while in Des Moines for the weekend.“

“I just want to thank the sweet soul working the drive thru today. I grabbed a coffee on my way to work after a long night of little to no sleep. My tears hiding behind my sunglasses. Maybe it was the shake in my voice or one of those tears slipped out. But she seemed to have known. Her sweet comment that I look lovely today, made me smile. (Also, me knowing, I look like a mess). Thank you for taking the moment to make someone’s day a little better, the world needs more humans like you.“
