    I first heard about this coffee shop from a coworker. Their coffee is, quite literally, the best…read morecoffee I've ever had. I'd genuinely love to know which local roasters they source their beans from. What stands out most is how smooth the coffee is--there's absolutely no bitter aftertaste. Their honey brown sugar latte deserves special recognition. So many honey lattes either taste overly artificial or like the honey is barely there at all. Not this one. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and it's honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. I could drink gallons of it. The quality is fantastic and I've found myself thinking about that latte long after I've finished it. My only complaint is that I don't live closer. If I did, I'd probably be there every day.

    What a neat little coffee shop! We stopped in in need of some caffeine this morning and were not…read moredisappointed! We ordered an iced mocha latte and iced snickerdoodle latte. The snickerdoodle was perfectly spiced and still had some coffee flavor. The mocha was delicious, certainly an occasional treat as it is more of a coffee milkshake than a coffee. We also ordered the mini apple cider donuts which were okay, they seemed to be plain donuts tossed in cinnamon sugar and the dough had a funny aftertaste. Overall they have a killer menu and a cute & homey sitting area and patio. With so many coffee and caffeine drinks to try- we'll be back!

    The Uptown Dairy is quite the treat. Right in the heart of Uptown Ankeny this shop is bright and…read morefresh and inviting. The place is immaculate and they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. For all my friends of the High Trestle Trail it literally is footsteps from their front door, you can eat their ice cream and ride your bike! WIN- WIN!!! The ice cream selections are amazing, and so many its is hard to choose, but i did! We got massive scoops of yummy, creamy deliciousness on a fresh and crispy waffle cone, of which they have several types to choose from. The workers on this particular day were fantastic, attentive and fast, They even hooked us up with some pup cups to go! (The dogs thank you!) If you are feeling like rewarding yourself or just have a hankering for something delicious and Ice Cream fits the bill, pop on in to the Uptown Dairy and try their treats! You will not be disappointed!

    Pretty pricey, but pretty worth it! What to know: servings are generous and there is richness and…read moresmoothness in every bite: there are LOTS of choices for flavors- some simple like strawberry but most with multiple ingredients. Free samples. Outside and inside seating. Pay extra for cones. Off the bike trail. We went on a Sunday afternoon and got ahead of a rush of bikers and walkers and the service was just as friendly for our group of 4 as when there was a line. Ice cream is delicious.

I just wish I could sign into my account from DoorDash when ordering so I don't miss out on my points! Always know my drinks will be handled w care as they have the cutest little bags for drinks and always include straws- thank you!! I order from here probably more than I should but we don't have a place here that makes the drinks like they do! O ya the drink is like a liquid peanut butter cup- to die for!!!

Alyssa was one of the people assisting me and she was very kind & even gave my daughter some goodies since it was our first time there! My daughter really appreciated that. The campfire cocoa is actually really nice, temperature was perfect for my daughter. I ended up getting an iced coffee with butter pecan as a flavor add-in & it was really good! Definitely will be coming here again. We'll try to walk in too so that my daughter can take her time deciding on something to eat as well.

They were placed n carried out in the recycled tray like those from McDs n laid it down on the SUV floor. We drove off. When he went to pick the tray after parking, he discovered that 1 coffee latte drink emptied itself totally on the mat. It was his! Needless to say, he was upset. We went back to get his free latte again n i told the gal that 1 of them didnt push the 1 drink down into the tray. I returned the tray to her as i wanted to demonstrate. At first, she was quiet n then she apologized. Now THAT calmed my anger. My husband got his already free coffee n i got to live with coffee latte stink for a week now even after sponging the coffee spill numerous times. The mat still sit outside of my SUV after drying from several splash of clean water. I thought of spraying good smells onto the unmat floor of my SUV but stopped because i visioned the bad combination of smells. I rather have my vehicle blessed in other ways. PLEASE REMEMBER TO JAM THOSE DRINKS INTO THAT DAMN TRAY.
