43 Best Coffee Shops near Polk City

“Pulled up at 830am on a Saturday behind 7 cars and the line moved so quickly. I ordered 2 coffees, 2 cinnamon rolls & 3 breakfast sandwiches and was out of there in 10 minutes. With a smile on my face because the young women working were not only quick, they were also super friendly & chatty WHILE they worked. I don't know what Scooters does for training but it should be taught everywhere.“

“Didn't realize they were made to order but I ordered 2 dozen and the nice folks there had them done in under 20 minutes. Super fresh and delicious even with the leftovers that didn't get eaten right away. Can't wait to go back. Great job guys!“

“Love my Waukee location! Can’t wait for Norwalk! I wish the West Des Moines location was a little more friendly.“

“Love that they are passionate about the community.“

“the best place to get coffee“

“Always friendly service, fast and delicious!“

“Ankeny 7 Brew crew is the best! I have been going ever since they opened. The crew is very courteous and kind! They know me by name. They will chit chat with you until your coffee is ready. They are pretty fast and quick. I love the fact they have sugar free options. If you love coffee, come check them out. Let me warn you though, you will get addicted! All good though!“

“We always have a great experience at this location. Wonderful coffee and a great atmosphere.“

“I purchased k-cups from this store a month ago. I realized later I forgot to take my purchase with me. A month later I asked is there anything they could do (totally understanding it was my fault and they didn’t have to do anything after I waited a month). They said they remembered me and were kind enough to let me take a replacement box.

You guys rock! Your coffee is the best! 5-Stars all the way!“

“Thank you Homemakers for helping us finish our home. We have had an amazing experience with service and product on all furnishings. We even shopped the clearance outlet and had friendly service from David (if I remember correctly) multiple times! The delivery guys have all been very professional and friendly. Thanks, we will continue to shop homemakers. We love your artificial flowers too, great pricing and beautiful decor. High quality furniture from our tables, chairs, beds, patio furniture.“

“I LOVE Cafe Diem! Every time I go I feel like I’m at home. Tabitha is an amazing barista/host and always helps me with getting a high chair and bringing my drink over. She is very kind and welcoming and makes me want to keep coming back!! I would recommend Cafe Diem to anyone!“

“Travelling through Iowa and wanted to have dinner at someplace other than fast food. 36th Street Tavern was the place to go- food was excellent, atmosphere great, service topnotch! Check it out ..If we lived near we'd frequent this place often!“

“Location is very clean, and the employees are friendly. I appreciate that when I order a drip coffee in store that I can get free refills. I also appreciate that no matter where I sit, I have access to an outlet so that I can get some schoolwork done. I am a non-traditional student who also works full-time, so I do schoolwork during non-typical times, and I am always looking for a place to do it.“

“Shout out to Scooters in Huxley and the owner Deb. I had a messed up drink and they went above and beyond to make things right!!! I’ve been back and my drink has been great every time! Very pleased with their customer service!!! 1st class all the way!“

“Typical Starbucks. Not a fan but had gift cards to use and needed a caffeine jolt whilst traversing the tedious stretch of traffic known as I-80. Ordered plain old coffee and it was served lukewarm. Ugh. Tasted like it had sat for hours. The staff did kindly take it back and brewed fresh. This detour took about 15 minutes from standing in line to order to drinkable coffee in hand. Meanwhile, the fancy pants coffee and tea beverages were efficiently served.Lesson learned: Starbucks excels in designer drinks, but it is not worth the time (or money - $3.25 (gasp))for a basic cup of coffee for purists such as myself.Staff helpful for managing gift cards. Not a slam on the staff, it's my impression basic coffee gets short shrift from the chain compared to the multiple ingredient and step menu items.

Parking: This Starbucks is inside of a Target store. Parking can be crazy due to pedestrian traffic. I advise to park in the outskirts of the lot and pull through, walk a few extra steps to the store and save yourself some traffic grief. Your heart will thank you.“

“I wish I would’ve taken a picture but wasn’t around for long.

Phenomenal place to come eat and the service is great. Very friendly and great environment. Never thought I’d be a big fan of bagels but after coming here it changed. So many different options you’re bound to find one that you’ll like. 10/10 would come again“

“Such nice friendly service in Waukee!!!“

“Great new small locally owned business in Ankeny. Healthy foods make you feel good!“

“amazing chill atmosphere as well as staff. The food is great. I actually cried on my way home from the genuin kindness the cashier showed me on a hard day. 10/10 recommend. the iced coffee and Americono are my go to. My bf likes the espresso. WHO EVER WORKED TONIGHT THANK YOU!!!“

“I love this place more than life itself. The people there always ask how I am and it always feels genuine. Even if a mistake is made if they are informed then they will fix it right away. The cafe is always super clean and I always see someone cleaning when customers leave a mess (clean up your stuff!!!!) they always make sure they get orders out as fast as they can. Overall this place brings me joy and I am excited for when I get my morning cup of coffee! :)))“

“The food is delicious, BLT on an everything bagel is my favorite! Their bagels are actually fresh, soft and flavourful - no matter what time of day you go. Lots of coffee options. The only down side for me is that their kitchen is not well ventilated. I love the food but I don't want to smell like it, even if I just go in to pick up.
Love supporting a local business specially with friendly staff, always greeting with a smile.
I definitely recommend this place!“

“My coffee maker died at home so I ran out before 545a--in my pj's--to order an office sized carry-out box of coffee. The service was impeccable!!! They offered to bring the coffee to my car (so I wouldn't make a fool of myself traipsing around under dressed) and even brought me a sample as I waited! THIS is the epitome of customer service! Thank you for being wonderful humans:)“

“Kenna & Jacob are the BEST baristas EVER! They both made amazing recommendations, their customer service is TOP TIER!
They both work amazingly together just in the ten plus minutes I was there. They’re a vibe!
I will continue to come to this specific location just for the both of them!
They both engaged well with myself and my friend. Truly an amazing experience.“

“I stopped through for the first time at 4:05 pm on July 6th and the two ladies working there gave far and away the best customer service I have gotten in a long time! Sadly I didn't catch their names, but hoping their management sees this, they deserve a raise!“

“everytime she works the window i always give her a tip ! she is such a joy to see and she reads off my order nd gets my coffee out fast to me not to mention the fact i noticed sheputs napkins with my donuts and always folds my bag so nice and neat. love that girl malissa !“

“I went over today and got a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and got home and immediately dropped it on my kitchen floor. I called and Chelsea (I hope I’m spelling her name right.) agreed to remake my drink even though they didn’t have to. Thanks Scooters on Euclid Crew! 😁 I really appreciate it.“

“Love this place !“
