This is a small national chain shop that serves gourmet cinnamon rolls. It is located in a large…read morestrip mall area in Ankeny. There is tons of parking available in the strip mall's parking lot that is in a reasonable walking distance. As I mentioned, these are gourmet cinnamon rolls, and gourmet does not come cheap. The shop is very clean. They have a decent size dining area with tables and chairs. There is also a lounge area with purple couches. You will find a fenced in patio area available to eat you treat at as well. The guy working the shop was friendly enough, but my interaction with him was limited. They have a bunch of signature and rotating/seasonal cinnamon rolls such as Strawberry Fields Roll, Berry Crumble Roll, Tropical Bliss Roll, Caramel Apple Pie Roll, and Campfire S'mores Roll. You can also get a traditional plain cinnamon roll. They also have soft serve, brownies, cookie dough, king cake and ice cream floats. I got a Snicker Salad. It was made while I waited and only took five minutes. I ordered it at night and ate it the following morning. It was still delicious. I really enjoyed it. It was tasty. I highly recommend checking this place out to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Customer service was extremely awesome for just me doing an online order. Very helpful and sweet. This location was big and very clean and beautiful. Cinnamon roll was hot and tasty. Loved every bite. I think I would prefer to come out here rather than downtown now. Excellent parking spaces and very clean and upscale. I hope this new location does very well and I look forward to coming here many more times to enjoy this wonderful vegan treat in Ankeny!

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!

OMG, this place is in such a nice area! They have a huge menu with so many amazing options to…read morechoose from. I ordered the Pit Master Sandwich with a side of French onion soup (you get to choose a side with the sandwich). The sandwich was really good! The bread was buttery and soft, and the homemade croutons in the soup were clearly made from fresh bread. The French onion soup wasn't for me--it kind of tasted like acid reflux to me, so I gave it to my mom. She actually thought it was pretty good. The sandwich had perfectly balanced barbecue sauce and cheese, although I thought the barbecue sauce overpowered the cheese a bit. Next time, I'd probably order it without the cheese. The brisket was good, but I would've preferred a fattier cut because I think it would have been more flavorful. I also wasn't a fan of the Gouda since it didn't melt very well, but the other cheese on the sandwich was delicious. Overall, the food was incredible, and this place is an absolute MUST if you're in the area! I noticed they have around 78,000 DoorDash orders, and after eating here, I can definitely see why. I'll actually be coming back in a few days before I leave my vacation because there are so many other delicious items on the menu that I can't wait to try! Staff were also nice!

It's a place that feels like a big chain, but it's just very modern and techie that makes good coffee. My kids loved getting the hot chocolate flight and I enjoyed my Halloween themed coffee flight as well. My husband got the pistachio latte and really enjoyed it, and both of us liked our scones. The only thing that really really threw me off was opening the door and instantly being hit by a wave of something that smelled like a hairdresser's place. I don't think I've ever been to a coffee shop with decent coffee that didn't smell like really good coffee. I don't know if it's the spaces nearby (it's in a strip) or the fact that it's a workspace and so the smell dissipates, but it was very offputting to have that smell in a coffee shop. Other than that, it was a great experience.

For those of you who haven't been to Ocha, please give it a try, you won't regret it.

I was trying to locate what I had enjoyed at the previous visit, but I couldn't remember, so I just went inside. The young woman behind the counter was attentive and happy to help me pick out a good drink. I remembered that it was a fruit tea with the fruit bursts. The place was bright and clean, just like my last visit. It was nice to see that the choices were the same and looked just as good as before. I asked her what her favorite was, and we were able to get a good drink together. I really like the little flavor bursts that you can add to the drink. She had the drink up shortly after that. (Yelp has a check-in coupon) It didn't take long for me to have it gone. It was really good and with the great customer service I know I will be back again.
