21 Best Coffee Shops in West Des Moines

“Best energy drinks EVER. I moved out of state and frequently come back to visit Hyper. Their drinks are amazing and I haven’t found anything else that compares. I highly recommend visiting. The one in Altoona is always spot on and the baristas are the kindest and very welcoming. Jet fuel and violet voltage are my faves, but you really can’t go wrong with any of them.“

“Great priced coffee, sweet people, and of course fluffy chonkers. I've adopted 3 lovely bois from here. Boogie, Draco, and Geto are all amazing in their own way. This is one of the best ways you can spend your lunch break.“

“Always so fast, but not in a hurry. Just watched them clear a line of 5 cars in 1 minute. Drinks always taste the same.“

“Chowrastha Indian Grill & Eatery serves delicious Indian food with rich flavors and great portions. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is friendly, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal!“

“Great local food with excellent service!“

“I ordered a donut cake for my daughters donut themed birthday. They were so easy and fantastic to work with. The donut cake tasted delicious and was a huge hit!“

“Easily one of my favorite spots for coffee and tea. They always have a new coffee of the day in rotation that’s my go-to. The store is always clean and the baristas are always friendly. The roast of their beans is unmatched with a rich flavor that is to die for. They have the largest list of flavors I’ve seen in a coffee store making an endless list of options. I’ve recently become a fan of their cookie butter latte feature biscoff cookie syrup and crumbles on top. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which offers options depending on the weather. I enjoy meeting friends and family here for a coffee and quick bite to eat.

Dietary restrictions: They have dairy-free options for drinks and usually something to eat that is vegetarian.

Parking: Free lot parking

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu (I.e. breakfast foods and snacks), plenty of seating and a safe space outside for the active kiddos

Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessible parking and seating.“

“Drive thru closed 15 minutes before closing but went inside for our order! Otherwise terrific“

“I freaking love caribou coffee !!! I Love Caribou coffee on Ingersoll, Mills Crossing, Oralabor Rd and just all things caribou. I love the trivia questions in the app. It’s so much fun! I love the rewards system! Yes, I have an unhealthy relationship with coffee, but I know caribou staff won’t judge me so. Thank you!“

“I have always love the service at Starbucks and the consistency of their food and drinks. I know it can be expensive but I will never question the exact taste and quality of what I get no matter where I’m at in the world.

Today I made a mistake in my app and ordered at what I thought was this Starbucks but was really another location. The barista was super kind and helpful, and truly made my day and my employees day who I was picking up the coffee for. Thank you for being kind, professional, and what amazing customer service should look like. You have a loyal customer for life.“

“Great coffee! Fast service!“

“Drive thru closed 15 minutes before closing but went inside for our order! Otherwise terrific“

“I have been to MANY Starbucks but this has to be the best experience I have ever had. This crew (Ella, Jacey, & Elsa) was so courteous, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do! The coffee was delicious but their positive energy was a great start to the morning!“

“Everytime I come here, the girl at the register is so sweet to me and I read her name off her nametag and it's Grace. I've had so much bad experiences at other Starbucks locations or Dunkin Donuts locations but no complaints about this one!“

“I just want to thank the sweet soul working the drive thru today. I grabbed a coffee on my way to work after a long night of little to no sleep. My tears hiding behind my sunglasses. Maybe it was the shake in my voice or one of those tears slipped out. But she seemed to have known. Her sweet comment that I look lovely today, made me smile. (Also, me knowing, I look like a mess). Thank you for taking the moment to make someone’s day a little better, the world needs more humans like you.“

“Favorite coffee spot in Iowa!“

“Stephanie and Ava treated us with SO much thoughtfulness! We had our 2 year old son and dog with us - and they completely made our morning!!!! They went the extra mile to make our son and dog so happy with their extra spoiling. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for a drive-thru coffee stop❤️“

“Service and product was exceptional! I tried the lavender latte which was fantastic and well prepared by the barista. Chocolate is also very tasty here.“

“I struggle with protein intake and typically can’t stomach protein shakes. Twisted Nutrition is a game changer. I actually look forward to Twisted shakes! I only recently discovered this place, but find myself inventing reasons to “be in the neighborhood.” The people are great, super friendly and helpful, and not once have thy grown impatient with me trying to decide what I want lol. It doesn’t really matter what you order though because everything is yummy and nutritious. If you’re not sure what you want or need all you have to do is ask. The owner is knowledgeable and willing to help with whatever nutritional goal/need you might have. Oh and I almost forgot most shakes are Gluten Free too! I seriously don’t have a bad word to say. Just try it for yourself - you’ll be hooked!“
