“The ice cream here is absolutely delicious! I was also honored to meet the owner and some of the staff while I was working at a local haunted house and they were so much fun to be around! I will always love this place!“

“Visited from out of town, and the baristas were so friendly!

The malted maple latte is easily one of the best I’ve had — perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with a hint of salt.

I also love their glass jar concept; ordered an americano to-go, and it came in a cute jar that I get to keep and reuse ♻️“

“Betsy is always the best barista and very friendly with me and my dog Tela and I always love talking with her and she makes the best mocha ever!“

“I had been eyeing this place for a while & was so excited to try it out. We were met with a nice atmosphere, quick service & delicious food + beer! The food was delivered ridiculously fast & we enjoyed the 5oz beer option as we were able to try more of what Lua has to offer.“

“The staff are always super friendly and kind!“

“A river of beer. Endless options. So many brews, each one a story in a glass. The staff—walking encyclopedias of hops, malts, and everything in between.

The brewer? Incredible. Warm, welcoming, generous. Took time to share her craft, her passion. You leave not just tasting the beer but understanding it.

The space? Massive and alive. Art on every wall, like the beer and creativity were brewed together. It's not just a brewery; it's an experience. Go for the beer, stay for the vibe.“

“3/1/25 I ordered delivery My order was grilled chicken sandwich on sourdough bread with fries. The sandwich was very good and lots of great flavor. Herb fries were good too. I also, ordered the pretzel Bread Pudding, it was terrible dry and hard even with the carmel sauce. Bad choice.

It’s his favorite place in the whole world! Dog park staff are also amazing watching over our dogs, giving them attention and making sure they are playing in a safe environment! Food and drinks are always great and they have the best food and drink deals! We highly recommend visiting Paws and Pints, it truly is a great addition to the Des Moines area! ❤️❤️“

Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly as always.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair accessible.“

“The food is always great. The only reason why service is a 3 star actually only because there was only one person in the back of house making food and taking orders. She was just extremely busy when my wife and I came to get our order. She was super nice and apologetic. I don't hold the lateness in our order against her whatsoever.“

“Stopped in for the first time today. I’m happy to have a good breakfast place on Ingersoll. The food was good and staff was super nice. Will be back for sure.“

“As far as fast food places good, this one is incredibly well run. I've ordered from here no less than 50 times (Don't judge me!) over the past year and my order has never been wrong. Kudos to the workers in this location, they have a vibe going in the back and its noticeable!“

“Food was good as one would expect from a Subway. First Subway that i have seen with a drive thru. We had placed an order through an app and pulled into the drive thru lane to do pickup. However, we sat in the drive thru lane at the order area for a minute or two and were not acknowledged, so ended up parking and walking inside to get our sandwhiches. Staff inside acknowledged me right away, and had our meal prepared on time.“
