Paid for an $8 shake and the cup was only 3/4 full. Not worth it.

I stopped in this morning for a vanilla chai tea. I was treated extremely rude by Aiden. I requested my tea and was given the wrong order. I have no problem with receiving the wrong drink as it happens. When I approached Aiden and kindly explained to him what I received all he wanted to do was argue with me. Seriously? You want to argue with a customer about a drink I paid for? After remaking my drink he sets it on the counter and stomps off. Extremely rude and has no business serving the public. Furthermore, I ordered a large tea and it was half full. Too bad as I loved going to this coffee shop. This experience has directed me to another coffee shop where staff treat customers with kindness and respect.

Paid for a cob salad and they brought me a plate with lettuce tomato and some pieces of chicken. It was missing half of the stuff that it’s supposed to have. Asked about it and they just told me they had ran out of some ingredients. However, if I am paying full price for something I would like to be notified so I can order something else. They have done this with my drinks before too. I order something and if they run out they will just give you something random with out telling you. I had to have them make me a new drink because she was unable to tell me what was in the drink, as I have allergies to certain food and need to know what I am eating/drinking. Please DO NOT change people’s orders with out notifying them as it can be dangerous to their health.

Enjoy going now and then. I did find it odd that when ordering a blueberry muffin, they did not offer to warm it. It was not room temp. warm...it was cooler cold.

9/11 7:30am Just passing through for a work trip and had the most amazing iced Dutch Chocolate Mocha. I literally cannot wait to come back through to stop again. The lady at the window was very nice as well!

If you want a good cup of coffee in the Des. Moines area, this is the place to go. They are an iowa business based in a small town.

We were in town for a week and stopped by 3 times here. Not only is it a beautiful and cozy spot but the coffee is legitimately great! Staff was very friendly and gave us wonderful suggestions! Bought a magnet and mug as mementos!
