“Was looking for a better coffee place to support -rather than a corporation that funds unethically internationally, or a local place that treats their employees horribly. I love that Mayalu is local, delicious, and invested in the community. Feels good to spend my treat money here ☕️ 🥮.“

“The coffee is incredible, but it pales in comparison to the joy and kindness of the employees. Both make it worth the visit.“

“My 9 year old son and I visited the week after Christmas. We are from out of town and looking for unique experiences in Des Moines and this fit the bill. The baristas were so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy. The cats were obviously the highlight for us. We enjoyed our hour watching them play, skitter around and interact with eachother. Core memories made for sure.“

“Very helpful choosing teas, advised as to what are lower caffeine choices & common flavors, good options for tea making supplies, very knowledgeable staff - even over the phone questions are answered quickly & confidently! Unfortunately, I don't go to The East Village very often, so find the actual store location rather inconvenient. But now you can order the teas online for shipping! Great idea whoever came up with that - probably due to the pandemic.“

“New paved parking lot directly across 28th street as of summer 2025. C&S will validate parking when changes to paid lot in future, so don’t let lack of parking deter you anymore. Lattes are on par with the best coffee shops in town. Mechanics and shop owner are top notch. I was a Rassy’s refugee and found my new home here.“

“Was able to pull in right at closing time. Staff working on the night of November 26 was very nice and accommodating. We were super appreciative of their service as we had a long drive ahead and needed a pick me up. Very thankful and pleased!“

“Just popped into The Coffeesmith to try it out for the first time - I immediately had to run and leave a review bc it’s just that good! I tried the summer seasonal smores latte, I am a smores latte connoisseur, and this one was amazing!! But what really had me running to leave a stellar review? The almond patty pastry. Only one bite into it and I’ve determined it’s going to be something I crave way too often. Growing up in Eastern Iowa as a bohemie, iykyk, I frequently visited Jaarsma’s and know my way around almond pastries of all kinds. The Coffesmith’s almond patty rivals all others! You have to have it! 🤩🥐“

“The coffee was great, but the food was amazing! They have different types of savory pies. I couldn't decide which one I wanted to try, so I just ordered the one at the top of the list. It was So delicious! I'm excited to try each one. Highly recommend. They have a drive through too!“

“What a great place to sit and read with coffee! It is clean and well lit. Server was friendly but not 'over the top,' which we appreciated because it's coffee, you know, really good coffee but still low key enough to enjoy not just the beverage but the drinking of it, too.“

“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!“

“Stopped on a Sunday morning. Charming outside area with plantyvof seating. Inside also has plenty of seating. I was thrilled to be offered a triple shot cortado versus double. The service was pleasant and quick. The coffee flavor was excellent as that is what I seek.“

“Ordered ahead on the app which is always a breeze. Walked in and there was only two me girl working. She was pretty busy but kicking butt! Unfortunately I didn’t catch her name but she was friendly as well and the drinks were good! The pumpkin white mocha is good in moderation, it didn’t mention spice in the app so wasn’t expecting the spice flavor.“

“I stopped at Caribou (drive thru) to get a coffee and a glazed donut. The coffee was delicious as usual, but the glazed donut was ice cold--like they just took it out for the freezer/fridge. I can't eat a cold donut, so I had to wait until I got home an hour later to warm it up.“
“Dont sleep on Scooters! Quality and selection are way better than the StarBz! Everyone is always so helpful with ordering and super friendly. Prices also beat out SB. Oreo Blender medium $6.15 & its so good you will dream about it! They always give our girls pup cups too and thats huge for our spoiled rotten puppies. The coffee is delish, the service is great. We choose Scooters over every other option in Norwalk, every time.“

“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.“

“Kayla and Jayden made my morning!!! Kayla has a great smile and wonderful personality! I was having a bad morning due to Starbucks not taking my order because they could not cash a large bill. Does money not buy things anymore???
needless to say, I did not have that problem here thank you for getting my coffee order taken of and getting me happily back on the road!!“
“This is a drive-thru coffee shop that's similar to a CarHop from the 1950s. Fun, super friendly, fast service at your car. The music is blasting and the girls come out to your car to take your order. It's usually pretty busy with several vehicles in line waiting, but the service is fast and the drinks are diverse with creative new mixtures. It's less expensive than Caribou or Starbucks. There is no dine-in option, the only drawback.“
“A few weeks ago I came in and bought a sectional- which I absolutely love! Today I returned looking for a chair to match and maybe a kitchen table- as soon as I walked in, I saw the gal who helped me with my sectional and she immediately remembered me and asked how my specific sectional was working out! To me- that’s great customer service!“
