Cafes near Des Moines

“Quarterdeck truly can't be beat on a sunny Seattle day! Even on a rainy winter day, you can cozy up in the heated tent and enjoy a huge selection of local tasty beverages and delicious snacks. The views of the marina and water are stunning and the folks working there are so kind and helpful!“

“Really cool place with cozy booths, fancy chairs that will make you feel like a Tudor, sandwiches, and wide variety of coffee. I thought quality of coffee was better than Google average rating (4.3 stars as of writing). Definitely one of the best lattes I've had in the area.“

“Atmosphere and people watching heaven...delightful staff! love the coffee too!!“

“Best Mac n Cheese in the city!“

“Cute fun place that my fiancé and I tried for the very first time today. 5/6/24. Our server was friendly, my fiancé said get coffee was great, and our food was divine! The service was fast, and our whole experience was positive at average Seattle prices. Thank you for having us today.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsParking: Decent sized free parking lot“

“Best airport restau ever. And full on vegan options!! Thank you! Plus a creative cocktail menu. Great place to come at a good airport. The only complaint? There is too much food on this plate. I recommend splitting. You just can't finish it all.“

“Great people, and great food!“

“This post deserves a SHARE and it’s public! I ventured out to Creamy Cone Cafe (a Black owned small business) for the first time today. The post about the grilled cheese on croissant bread with tomato soup got me. As soon as I walked in I wanted everything!!!! I started with ALL 12 of the flavors currently on hand, the grilled cheese w/soup, the peach cobbler à la mode and a brown sugar cookie that never made it home. My favorite flavors were Strawberry Shortcake, Banana Pudding, Mint Mud pie and Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake. None of the flavors were displeasing and ALL of them I would order again. I love that you can taste the individual ingredients in the ice cream it’s self. You can absolutely tell these flavors are made with real fruit!! There was a vegan flavor and a non-dairy flavor that was tasty, something for everyone!!! I will be back often. I did want to point out, just because parking isn’t the greatest doesn’t mean don’t stop in. When you walk through the door it feels like family! Also, they have gift certificates. A win win!!! I’ll be buying some to give to people so they can experience the greatness as well. The list of current flavors are in the photos.“

“Parking: This place is fantastic! The food is very good and really good quality and well prepared, the guys who serve you are so friendly and willing to help. All this without mentioning that it is very cheap. the best deal you can make.Excellent food, abundant and cheap.“

“The strawberry and cream cheese croffle is amazing. You can’t go wrong with either the strawberry or Oreo bingsu either. Every single macaroon is amazing and is double the filling of a regular macaroon. The flavors are fun and they all look too cute or pretty to eat. All of the signature drinks are to die for and the teas are spot on delicious!“

“Had a great time during their Sunday Piecing it Together event. Tasty drinks and snacks were available. The staff was super friendly and helpful teaching me a couple games and and playing some rounds with me. They also have “missing pieces” you can earn by learning and playing games. I have to go back next week to get my last “piece” Definitely worth a visit.“

“The lady that opens is so nice. The food is a 10 out of 10 and we waited for them to open and got first pick and loved it. There so good and soft and loved the customer service and the oreo carrot cake fritter Friday todayVegetarian options: Vegan donuts“

“It's all amazing!!! The tea, the food, the people. I had the wild salmon curry, and the green bean and potato curry with three different extra sauces. I wouldn't typically have chosen these, but I would repeat this order 1 million times over now that I've had it. I have loved every loose leaf tea I've had and also the local Vashon Coffeehouse coffee spices they carry. Plus the granola!!! Can't say enough good things.“

“My family has been going to Mary's since my kids where in Elementary and they are now 25 and 26 this is our favorite breakfast spot hands down. The food is delicious and my husband orders the chicken fried steak every time, it being Mary's favorite to cook, he said you just can't go wrong ordering it. The neighborhood and family touch is outstanding, we took our 21 month old grandson here for the first time and we mistakenly left his fork. We came again and they remembered him and they had saved his fork and brought it out. We didn't know we had left it and they even offered to keep it safe if we wanted them to hold on to it for next time. It was such a simple but touching act of kindness. Mary's treats you like family and that is special.“

“I love the coffee here! I get a black, iced americano and have to make myself drink it slowly because I want to enjoy it. It's everything I want in flavor and I don't have to add anything to it to make it more palatable. They're service is on par with the quality beverages they serve... supreme!“

“Love this coffee shop. I'm from California but have been visiting family for the holidays. I went to UPS one day and seen this coffee shop next door. The shop looked appealing so I went in and absolutely loved the vibe! The employees are friendly, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the coffee tastes amazing. It's been my go to coffee shop while here. Love this place and will definitely keep coming back every time I visit.“

“This Bobalust Tea House location is actually pretty close to home and its always popping! Sometimes customers are spilling out of the store because the location is a bit smaller than Kirkland. Overall, customer service is pretty good. I asked a few questions and I ended up getting a Green Thai Tea & the OG milk tea with 0% sweetness. If you are unsure about the the sweetness level you can always ask for a sample, they are usually able to provide that as long as they are not super busy. 0% sweetness was actually just right for the OG Milk tea, so I'm glad I was able to try it out first! We got regular ice level and with boba and the drink was good! Boba was excellent consistency, more on the chewy side, but not hard in the middle or anything. I would say the tea doesn't have a super strong tea flavor, its a little more on milky side, but still really good. I personally like my boba tea with a stronger tea flavor, but I do enjoy to change it up every once in a while.I do wish they had the small cubes of chewable, slushee ice inside their drinks. I noticed that the Kirkland location does this and its a bit more fun to drink and I like being able to sip up ice with the straw as you get to the bottom of your drink.They have lots of different drink options, great for all boba lovers. I think next time I'll have to try the pure tea options for a less milky / heavy drink. Good thing they are close to us, so plenty of opportunity to get more boba at Bobalust!“

“Never been disappointed with the drinks I've gotten here, and I pinky promised the barista I wouldn't lie if I were dissatisfied. The service is amazing, my usual barista recognized me only the second time I went there, unfortunately I never remembered to ask her name :(. But I 100% recommend this place, I haven't seen my usual barista there for a while but everyone is so friendly and awesome, the drinks and food are sooo good!“

“This is a cute little Drive-In coffee hut that's on the way to the library for me. It's placed on a main road so the location is convenient, too. All of the staff I have encountered is bilingual in English and Spanish, too. Their menu is insane - coffee and energy drinks that are unique, pretty, and delicious!My go-to items that I order are: - Mexican Mocha (I've tried MANY, and I can say this place has the best ones. No mocha with cinnamon here, folks. Honest to goodness Abuelita flavor.- Strawberry concha. The filling isn't always consistent. Sometimes it's strawberry jam, other times fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Either way, the actual pastry is light, fluffy, and not dry.- Tamales. They have cheese and jalapeño (rajas) which is so hard to find. They are steamed and fluffy, they're great snacks and packed extremely well.Please don't come if you're in a rush or pressed for time. These baristas hand craft everything. They take their time to ensure quality. This is not fast food and you will likely be there for a few minutes, longer if there is a line.“

“me encanta como te atienden y la zumba y por supuesto las malteadas“

“excellent coffee stand and pet friendly.“

“A local own businesswho supports our community period then make your breakfast salad and all foods fresh as you order.. The prices are reasonable and the food and coffee is absolutely wonderful.“

“I don't think I've ever driven by or walked by and not been pleased with my order! The baristas are all sweethearts and so hardworking. The food and drinks are always good and even when lines are long, they are still so patient and sweet! It's become my new and most favorite coffee stall to get my drink and food fix from. Would highly recommend :)“

“Passed my expectations for their price bar. My service was appropriate for a walk up stand. I tried several flavors and was surprised by a few. I changed my mind a few times. The straw taro was so good I couldn't turn it down. I really like their interior design even if it is small. I feel like I'm ordering from a clean, fun, and professional establishment. They have a simple menu that is average in size. I kind of wish there was more options but I'm happy with what I got. Oh yea and they are located inside the mall so you can assume you'll have to venture to find this place after parking. Unless you already know the mall well.“

“I have enjoyed the fine coffee and relaxed ambiance of Cafe Luna since it first opened.“

“Ordered the OG Milk Tea with honey boba (since it was my first time here), no modifications. Their boba was perfectly soft and chewy. Tea was delicious and sweet (but not overly sweet). Friendly staff, huge and bright space; seemed very clean. Plenty of seating if you're looking for a spot to catch up with friends. Lots of parking because it's in the large plaza but on the other side from Safeway and UPS. No complaints at all. Will be back!“

“The amount of food you get for the price is top notch. You get a lot of food and the quality of the food is great. The service was ok, there is only 1 server and she only checks in once in awhile. The atmosphere is also really loud and felt more like a bar than a Resturant.“

“Our family loves this place. It is under new management so a lot has changed. No toy room for the kids anymore so that was very disappointing for them, but the food is good and it is about the only place all four of us can eat for around $50. The staff is very friendly ?“

“This is such a cute little place!My partner and I wanted to visit a coffee shop that we've never been to before!I ordered a roast beef and cheddar Crossantini (croissant and Panini) and it was delicious! Everything about the sammich was mouth watering!My partner was excited that they had Irish creme as a flavoring haha so he got a Irish creme mocha, and he Thoroughly enjoyed it!I had a vanilla almond milk latte! It was delicious!My partner ordered a bacon, ham egg sandwich also on a croissant! He absolutely loved it!We definitely want to be back again! They have so many options of coffee, desserts, and sandwiches to have!“

“The orange dreamsicle is delightful.“

“cozy little sit down! great coffee!“

“The Stonehouse Cafe is my favorite when I’m craving breakfast mainly because they never disappoint!I’ve tried their Biscuits & Gravy and Chicken & Waffles which were both delicious. But, my go to is the Eggs Benedict! I’m also obsessed with their Watermelon Lime Lemonade. It’s a must try and it’s refreshing on a warm sunny day! What surprises me is that there’s not that long of wait time for your food to come out. They’re usually pretty fast AND the dishes come out amazing.The staff there are super friendly and patient. You’re always greeted with a smile and they seem like they love what they do!When it comes to holidays and events, Stonehouse really knows how to go all out. They decorate for almost every holiday and I love it.“

“Cafe Osita is one of our favorite West Seattle coffee shops. So glad to see that it has reopened!“

“I'm glad I made the choice to stop by this local shop. Though my mobile order was overlooked, it didn't actually bother me too much because it gave me a chance to glance around the shop a bit more than I originally would've.AtmosphereThe cafe was decorated in a fashion that made it feel very welcoming, as if stepping into a friend's living space. Being an artist myself, the first thing that caught my attention was the local art decorating the walls. I love it when local stores consign local art to help fuel their passion.FoodThe chai is better than I was expecting! It's been a while since I've had such a flavorful chai. It actually reminded me that I need to slow down on going to Starbucks so that I can enjoy my drinks again.I also grabbed an eggplant panini which is so-so. I'm not a huge fan, but I could see others enjoying it more. I think it was because it fell apart too easily and I was expecting someone more enclosed.ServiceI actually was caught off guard as soon as I walked in. I didn't expect everyone to welcome me so abruptly, which was nice.Once my drink was ready, the barista personally walked the drink to where I was sitting and thanked me - which was a nice touch.OverallI liked this spot and will more than likely return here the next time I need a cup of pick-me-up while in Auburn.“

“I never had injera before. It is a bit hot and sour. I liked the bread tortilla thingie. The staff was super helpful and showed me how to eat the dish. The music was a bit loud, and the place was dark, but very clean and comfy. I am glad to experience a new bit of culture. I recommend this place.“

“I've made Sister's a part of my morning ritual over the course of this year. (Is it ironic I was referred to this spot by my sister????)But in all seriousness the coffee here is fantastic. The ladies here are very quick to memorize your drink, if you're like myself and have the usual go-to. I don't think I've had a bad beverage from here, ever. They offer punch cards too, which is a great incentive to keep coming back.Lastly, the drink's are consistent!Sister's Espresso sets a genuine proper standard that I feel most other Drive-thru Espresso stands and sit-down Cafe's alike, don't quite meet.Yall freakin' rock!“

“I recently visited this charming coffee shop and was thoroughly impressed! Not only does it offer a cozy atmosphere perfect for unwinding or catching up with friends, but the view from its windows is absolutely stunning. The bakery selection is top-notch, with a delightful array of pastries and treats that perfectly complement their delicious coffee offerings. I can't wait to visit again and indulge in more of their delectable goodies while enjoying that beautiful view!“

“Delicious! It was sub freezing in Seattle this weekend and my pipes froze...I didn't feel like making food once the water thawed so I visited Huong Que. The beef stew with rice noodles blew my mind, such a lovely combo of oils and flavors. I'm so glad I finally tried it. The wait was a bit long because everyone had the same idea on this cold day, and they only take cash, but it was worth it!“

“Service is amazing , the drink is beyond better than most stands I go to , while you get to look at beautiful girls , Not One to make reviews, But Rose at ladybug makes me the best drinks at this location and others locations too. Super friendly and easy to talk to.“

“This is a true story.I’m a complete foreigner and needed a coffee due to severe jetlag. I walked there and asked for a 20oz coffee, great service(!) but when I tried to pay with my European card didn’t work on the machine. The lady working there told me it was okay - they literally gave me the coffee for free and I gave her a huge Hugh five in disbelief, chock and joy over that amazing move from this coffee house. That doesn’t happen on your Starbucks. Support this place! I’m caffeinated goin on my place now - awesome!“

“We had no idea this was an adult oriented drive-through. Our barista was professional and well dressed. The coffee we had was actually quite delicious although fairly expensive. we are very happy to have found this spot. It made me and my wife laugh for hours and hours. If you don’t mind seeing a scantly clad barista making your coffee, please go to this place and enjoy always be respectful.“

“Didnt know every Nordstrom has a restaurant? Stumbled on this place last minute looking for somewhere to eat dinner, grateful we found this place in Southcenter shopping mall (Tukwila, WA). We were their last seating for the night but the restaurant was super empty only had 2 other tables than ours? Thats not a good sign but service was exceptional. Server was nice and didn't rush us knowing they were closing in a hour or so. The restaurant is large compared to Ruscello in Honolulu, very spacious and high ceilings, it also has a nice window looking out at parking lot but nice view of trees in the background. Food blew me away, it was so good, nothing wasn't good that we ordered, was so full when we left, had to roll us out. Highly suggest if you in the area try this place out, pictures below of what we ordered.“

“This was our first time trying this place. We really enjoyed what we ordered. The avocado toast was delicious. It was difficult to eat and unlike traditional avocado toast where it's just the avocado spread on the toast, this version includes a giant slice of tomato topped with arugula and fried eggs. It is extra cost for the egg. It made the toast bulky and difficult to eat without things sliding off but very tasty overall. My boyfriend loved the umami chicken and churros. We enjoyed the drink although the milo (plotted plant) milk tea had a nice presentation, but taste was a little underwhelming. It taste kinda of like grainy brown sugar milk tea. Probably wouldn't get it again in the future, but definitely down to try some of their other deliciously advertised drinks. The matcha latte was good. The interior of the cafe was lovely. Staff were nice. We'd love to come back again to try other items and drinks on the menu.“

“I love biscuits and gravy so was excited try this place hoping it would become my favorite go to when the craving hit. The food was good but I was VERY disappointed when my plate came and it was package gravy. I verified package gravy with staff before writing this review just to make sure my tastes were correct. My boyfriend tried the huevos rancheros and wasn't impressed. It wasn't bad but wasn't anything to write home about. However the service was excellent. The waitress we had was very attentive and pleasant even though they were really busy.“

“For my husband and me, Habesha is one of our favorites. We always order the same thing: the large (for two) veggie combo. It's delicious and filling; we bring almost half of it home to heat up the next day. The price is very reasonable. And the proprieter is super-friendly and helpful. There's soft music in the background, not so loud that it inhibits conversation (a pet peeve of mine in so many restaurants these days).“
