Their use of styrofoam cups always makes me feel a little icky and guilty when getting a hot beverage. Could use some acoustic paneling for noise to make the atmosphere more cozy. Beverages are always good but the food is not something I would recommend going for.

Nice environment to work remotely from. They have a robust tea selection and are generous with hot water refills. Overall, the environment is casual and positive, and not too busy. BUT please tell the baristas not to grip cups by the lip. My mug was handed to me by the rim! This is a significant health risk. Please have baristas use the mug handle or the bottom of the cup.

I ordered their seasonal Almond Cookie Latte expecting a cup of deliciousness, but instead got what tasted like steamed skim milk that had a very off off putting chemical flavor. My friend also ordered a vanilla latte which was insanely bitter. I had high hopes but unfortunately was quite disappointed as the chemical type flavor in mine was so potent I truly couldn't drink my $7 coffee. Atmosphere is super adorable, but unfortunately having 0/2 coffee drinks be made well is a bummer at a coffee shop. The woman taking our order also did not seem pleased to be there which damaged the experience for the 10 minutes I was there. Don't think I will be back as I don't want to risk another wasted drink.

Coffee slay!!!
Grounds for Celebration is truly worth celebrating. They have a nice cozy, yet friendly and welcoming environment.
I ordered a seasonal blackberry lavender white Mocha iced coffee and it was PHENOMENAL. Very tasty and well made. Prices are reasonable as well. They also have a wide variety of food items and pastries to choose from.
From the moment you enter you smell sweet treats and fresh coffee. They have a calm vibe playlist in the background that keeps some white noise rolling.
There are plenty of tables and chairs as well as love seat type chairs along the fireplace. This sets a nice relaxing ambiance with the sunlight coming in and the stone fireplace as a center focus. Very cozy for the winter time as well.
Along the walls and on some shelves when you enter they have local art, cute earrings, some tshirts, coffee cups, and other novelty items.
I came here to read my book but they have magazines, newspapers, and other materials to skim through. There were a group of people there playing cards who seem to use this as a meeting spot. Honestly why not? It’s such a welcoming spot to be at.
Plenty of free parking outside. Seating is also outside if it wasn’t 100 degrees, but they keep it nice and cool inside.
A cheery local venue with three locations around Des Moines Metro. The roaster is located in the Beaverdale store. Pleasant surroundings, good pastries, very good coffee (they do have heavy cream to put in your brew). Browse the store to find handmade creations by local artisans and jewelers. If you’re in the neighborhood, please be sure to stop in at grounds for celebration.

We had the orange cranberry scone, hot chocolate and white chocolate truffle latte. All was good! Wish they did simple latte art but loved the fireplace and cozy vibe.
