50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Des Moines

“Sitting in my car shaking and crying, barely able to compose myself to drive right now. Those who frequent Auntie Irene's beware of the owner. She just yelled at me infront of the whole shop, about parking out front. It sent me into a anxiety riddened, ptsd fueled state. There were zero parking stalls when l pulled into the coffee shop. l was grabbing my one coffee and leaving. l would be there for 5 minutes maybe 10 at most. I parked snuggled up along the the flower bed north of the shop, in front of the rhodedendron/north of the deck. On the other side of the flower bed is parking stalls. Just to exactly detail where l was parked. Completely out of anyone's way. There is no posted sign saying "no parking here", nor is it a painted fire lane. If that were the case, of course l wouldn't park there. That's obvious. I was not blocking her drive thru window line or blocking either entrance to her shop. I wasn't in the way of people needing to back out ,since they have to turn the other way to exit. After placing my coffee order, an waiting about 5 minutes at a table, she came out of no where and reprimanded me like a child....She could have politely introduced herself and asked me to move. She never even told me who she was. For all l knew, she was a crazed lady bossing me around. No "hi", "hello" or "how are you?". She just marched up to me without identifying shes the owner and started in on me. I would have had zero problem being asked to move, if she had gone about it in a decent manner, that most "adults" are capable of. Her tone was egregious and severely uncalled for. Over the years, l have heard rumors about an aggressive, petite, blonde haired, older lady named Susie as the owner. That was the only reason l deduced this must be the owner, becuase like l stated she did not tell me who she was at all. But, l had only ever seen her maybe 3 times, in all the years I've been going there. I have never spoken to her or even had an one on one encounter with her. So, for her to treat me, complete stranger, who is paying for a comfortable place to enjoy coffee like this, this is wildly uncalled for. I'm a full grown adult mind you, though lve been told, l look young for my age. Even if l was young, it still would not make this encounter okay at all. l was so taken a back, l couldn't even mutter a reply to her. l ran out of the shop and immediately reparked my car. There were stalls open at this point. l had to smoke a cigarette to calm down before l went back in, it rattled me so badly. l was barely able to muster up the courage to go back in for my coffee, without feeling like l was going to start breaking out into tears, if l saw her or had to encounter her again to get my coffee. I came back in, and by then she was no where to be seen... She wasn't there to thank me for moving and understanding her concern. Nothing, she just disappeared. She ambush disciplined me and disappeared, which made it even weirder and more upsetting...Anyways, when l came back in the staff asked me where l went? l didn't want to tell them what happened, so l pretended like l didn't hear their question and barely got out a stiffled, whimper of a "thank you" to them. Rushing out of the shop before they had a chance to see me upset.. I didn't want them to think they were the reason l was in this clearly emotional state. They didn't do anything wrong, so l wasn't about to complain to them about their own boss.There would be nothing they could do about her actions, if she's in charge, ya know? When l got back to my car, l broke down in tears, past PTSD trauma flooding in. I've had experiences like this with some past elder women bosses, in my younger years. I've been subject to 3 very unprofessional older female boss's. Who, in over the years had treated me completely horribly and were very verbally abusive. One even grabbed my arm so hard she left bruising. All of them traumatizing me, using their p“

The stuffed apple cookie was amazing as well, I can’t wait to come back!!!!

I had gotten the corn beef hash, I was unaware it came smothered In hollandaise sauce. I also felt I didn’t get a lot of corn beef their was a ton of eggs but to much meat. My boyfriend got the Hawaiian breakfast which he devoured so thumbs up their!“

“My Experience at Eyman’s Pizza

I’m completely obsessed with Eyman’s Pizza! It’s a family-owned spot that serves up delicious pizza without breaking the bank. If you’re looking for pizza made with care and top-notch ingredients, this is the place to go. My go-to combo is chicken, jalapeños, and pineapple. I’ve been a loyal customer for over ten years, back when they were on Orcas and Rainier. Every single pizza they make leaves me thinking, "This is it!" And the best part? It’s 100% halal.

Vegetarian options: If you’re vegetarian, the Veggie Lovers pizza is a great option!

Dietary restrictions: I have an onion allergy, and they’ve never once added onions to my order by mistake. The family that runs it is incredibly thoughtful and always pays close attention to every order.

Parking: Parking is super convenient, with spots right in front of the shop, and if needed, there’s additional parking in the back.

Kid-friendliness: The place is very kid-friendly, and you have the option to dine in.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s also fully wheelchair accessible with no stairs anywhere.“

“Their lunch grill options are amazing and at affordable prices! We love the food which comes out nicely and also tasty, service was amazing. It was not noisy at alland had a great time here. Highly recommend if you are looking for a kbbq for gatherings“

“Today was the day we finally came in and tried out Drum Roll Wine and they absolutely did not disappoint! ? We came in with our baby kitty Kimchi and had great conversations with the table next to us and bonded over our shared love of our baby kitties while sipping great wine. We also met one of the owners Sundee and she was so lovely talking to us about all the wines they have — which were all so great that we left with two bottles to take home with us. Definitely recommend and definitely coming back ?“

“I was there to meet someone and had the best coffee I have had in a long while! Definitely come back again when I am in the area!“

“Thanks for making the new beer Mirror's Edge in collaboration with our Burien Run Club (Burien Run Walk). It is really good! You are always friendly and this is just a great place for us to meet on Thursday nights. I can't recommend this establishment enough! shout out to Blake and to the brewer Michael. You are amazing!“

“I support establishments that support inclusivity“

“This is the best neighborhood corner store you could ask for. There are always a lot of kids there for my little ones to run around with while I have a beer, and the owners and all the staff couldn’t be nicer. I see them in other establishments or on walks around the neighborhood and they always wave or stop for a chat. Truly, a store that brings the community together.“

“Best hot dogs in Renton! Great service and always super nice.“

“wow, traditional dishes are good, but fusion dishes are better in my opinion. Fusion dishes show the creativity and outside the box thinking. Tried my first sandwich today and will be returning to try others. If you love Binh Mi this is the spot.“

“Such a friendly place 🌞🥰😍“

“Great coffee, history! the apothacary is amazing, a library, clothes, jewelry, & yummy organic food. what more could one ask for?“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“Best cheesesteaks anywhere! Even better than Philly hands down!!!!“

“Awesome beer and a fun hang out spot! This is my favorite spot in Auburn to grab a beer and a bite. Great selection of beers. My kid loves the pizza and my wife and I get down on that plus the appetizers. The owners are friendly and very accommodating. Kids and pets are more than welcome. Come spend your hard earned money at this small business. We need to support these types of gems so they stay in Auburn!“

“Great place to unwind, and have a nice beer while enjoying you evening/day“

“Great local brew spot that everyone there makes you feel welcome once you walk in. The brew is really good and always rotating.“

“Great food but very poorly staffed and not the best service. Waited 40 minutes for two bowls of noodles and the steam rice cakes. Waited 15 min after being seated for water.

When the food did come, it was delicious though.“

“We had an amazing experience today for our event. We had about 55 people and everyone loved the food. Excellent service, very prompt and the pizzas, salads and cookies were delicious! I will definitely hire them for future events, thank you!“
