This is the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to and it’s not even about the coffee (which is great, by the way). It’s about the vibes. It is a warm hug when you feel lost and hopeless, a chance to reconnect with old (or new) friends, a place to unwind and recharge. I wish every town had a place like The Slow Down— we would be better, kinder, more thoughtful humans.

And don’t even get me started on the owners, Kara and Drew. They are what every community...

The Slow Down and the work that Drew does to advocate for the Highland and Oak Park neighborhoods is bringing life back to the north side of Des Moines. This is a great place to study, meet or work. They partner with other local small businesses (be sure to check out the cinnamon rolls) and host events/gatherings for the community. This is one of my most recommended places in the area.

I met an acquaintance for coffee, did not purchase food. There is a drink latte/coffee/hor chocolate menu. I had drip coffee which was good. Pleasant place to enjoy a coffee, meet with friends or work. There is an assortment of games and books available for patrons.
