And my order was done in a fast & timely manner that I didn't even get comfortable in my seat to wait for the order to be done. Will definitely come back to see them two again.

“When I told your employee, Tim, that the product I had been looking for had been out of stock for a week, he went and got a forklift and pulled the pallet down and got me what I needed right then! I am so impressed. Excellent customer service!“

“This place rocks! If want to make a difference...do it here!“

“My favorite place to hang out with a friend and grab healthy refreshments or a nice cup of kava. Great ambience, super high ceilings. The owners and the staff are really nice. Sometimes there can be a huge rush of people and they turn up the efficiency so words get concise, but they get the orders out as quickly as they can and that's all that really matters to me. My friends and are are usually catching up on our lives as we wait. Highly recommend if you're looking for a healthy spot to socialize, do some work or study for a class. I love this place as it was born as an extension of the top Natural Health clinic in the Des Moines area. I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area. For all the haters on here... they probably needed more kava in them... it's from an herb that has helped many people calm their anxiety. Just ask the oceanic islanders who drink it before any type of mediation.“

“came in on a Thursday for lunch the bartender was very attentive and knowledgeable and very pretty got a mojito and the porkchop. hands down the best mojito I ever had and the chef / owner made me one of the best porkchops with rice and beans and soft bread I ever had she was very upbeat and personable about her business highly recommend pretty patio for summer drinking too.“

“Their cajun tuna sandwich is excellent - just the right amount of kick to it. Lunch prices are also reasonable.“

“Hobnob is located within Hotel Fort Des Moines. I stayed there last month and loved the convenient access to the shop! Coffee was amazing and service was incredible.“

“Biscuits and gravy were dry“

“I was there with my young child today and had an amazing experience with one of the cashiers. Her name is Rebekah. She was an absolute pleasure to chat with while she checked us out. She was kind, warm and radiated kindness. She didn't know, this but I have been going through some very difficult things lately and interacting with her helped me feel hopeful again. She deserves all the good things (and a raise!) Thank you so much, Rebekah... I will carry your kindness in my heart forever“

“these wonderful kids are always quick on their feet and great at conversation, coming here makes my day and they always make the coffee super quick. I've been tricked by those fake AI drinks so many times but they were super polite and respectful when pointing out to me how there are certain things they can and cant do, and how they could accommodate me to get as close as they could to my drink. I don't recommend using the facebook pages for the drinks! the 7brew has a lot of secret menu flavors and a bunch of syrups! good variety! I didn't have to wait more than 2 minutes and got on my way, the conversation lasted the entire time and I didn't even notice! great job!“

“Gabby Smithman. I am Bosnian. That is a Bosnian restaurant. A Iced Tea is named something different in our language. Just cause some of the menu isn't in American text doesn't means it's bad. Why are you judging a restaurant literally over being Bosnian.“

“Thank you Panera for supporting LJS Marching Band with this fundraiser!“
