Cozy Cafe is that rare place that leans into who they are, then delivers an authentic food experience. Old-school diner vibe, and they don't veer from their look. Located just off Highway 80, great stop if you're traveling through Des Moines and only 15 minutes from Ankeny's District! Booths, tables, and a counter. Ask about their Blue Plate Specials, as we loved ours! Our server (Abby) was great. Atmosphere and pricing were real good.
