“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.“

“I'm extremely picky about boba so it can be hard to find boba places that I like, and I thought I had found my favorite boba place... and then I tried Zenko and now other boba will never beat it lol. I'm a very routine-order person so I've only ever tried the black sugar milk tea with boba here, but I lowkey just never bothered trying any of their other drinks simply because this one is so good. Most of my friends who do like several of their drinks also tend to gravitate towards the black sugar milk tea as well, though, so I feel validated in always ordering the same drink over and over :) It's also so cozy and fun inside all the shops--I've been to three of the locations and they all have the same relaxing vibe, lots of plants and soft music.“

They completely fixed the issue, and my drinks have been perfectly spot-on ever since. It’s rare to find a place that takes customer feedback so seriously and acts on it so quickly. Highly recommend stopping here for the excellent service and great coffee!“

“Giving 5 stars all the way across the board. Reason being because of a very difficult customer who was verbally abusive to both workers that didn’t deserve it. I have been coming here for the past 5 years and Aubrey has always been the smiling face for me and my son who enjoys coming in for starbucks from time to time. I believe the second worker was Sydney (im so sorry if i spelled your name incorrectly) but she is new and very kind at the register. Now about this morning both workers were being yelled at and belittled and both of them decided not to feed into this guys behavior. They were both continuing to do their job and being respectful as they could given the circumstances, because no offense i would be upset too if someone was yelling at me about how much of a “horrible” worker i am and i want to speak to your manager, while they are literally managing 5 different customers at once. Starbucks/Hyvee please give these girls a pat on the back from me.“

“I had Java Joe's years ago when I first came to Iowa. They left downtown DSM but I'm so glad that I was able to find them again in Ankeny! The coffee is still good and the food (TJ's Bagels) is still just as good as I remember it. The ghost pepper bagel is my favorite! It's got a nice, flavorful spice that goes well with a plain cream cheese on a perfectly chewy bagel. The highlight here is honestly the staff here. They're the real MVPs. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

Thank you to the two working isle 5 today!! You are what Hy-Vee is supposed to be!!!“
