    Macchiato and raspberry financier
    Rima Z.

    I dropped in here when they were just finishing construction and the owner proudly showed me around the premises, to include the outdoor patio. I made a mental note to check it out when I returned to Des Moines. What a terrific cafe! Warm, cozy, abundant natural light, and cool music playing in the background. The variety of seating g options is perfect: bar stools in the window to people watch, small tables to enjoy the coffee or do some work, more bar stools adjacent to the prep area to watch the action or engage with the baristas, or outside to enjoy the sun and sights Really welcoming and friendly team. It's clear they love the product and the cafe. I asked about the blending coffee being used and it was well explained. They even offered me a (generous) taste of the drip version, which I typically don't like. Good flavor! Coffee is terrific. I ordered a macchiato, which was poured perfectly. When the barista noticed a bit had spilled on to the saucer, he changed it out before serving. A lovely attention to detail. The pastry was tasty. Pricing is really fair. The olace is well visited and has a really terrific neighborhood vibe. It would be easy to make this your go-to hang out!

    It's amazing place, the coffee is superb the food is incredible and the views and the ambiance is very hip and cozy. Service was spot on and you can't go wrong coming here.

    Such a cute little spot. I love the large patio. The seasonal beverages are yummy, syrups seem to be made from scratch. Our barista was extremely helpful as this was our first visit. We will definitely return!

    Went for a coffee date with a friend. Very friendly staff and cute space. Looking forward to sitting outside when the weather is warmer!

    I can never make time to visit their newer location at the downtown Waterfront, so I instead took…read moresome time after work on a Tuesday around 3:30pm to drive down to Renton instead to get coffee here. My first thought getting in here was: how do they have so much real estate in here yet still make it relaxing to stay and do your WFH stuff in? It's wide, there's tons of tables and seating, and the menu - though a little hard to read since it's behind the counter. Music isn't too loud either so even more relaxing! Staff were quick in making drinks, or just long enough so you can enjoy the calming effects of the overall surroundings. I got their purple rain, which has ube hints, juniper, espresso and whole milk. This is one of their summer drinks but they still use their own brand of coffee for this one. Strong and crisp coffee here while the ube is brought out just enough to not be covered completely by the coffee. It's a sweet, soothing layer with whole milk added to make the drink a little thicker and uniform with the coffee. I felt like I was getting a sip and smell of the outside leaves with the juniper as well, so a ton of feelings in one cup that I downed in less than 3 minutes! I will come back to try their straight-up coffee drinks!

    Staff is cool, I have my favorites. Now the wait time in line ‼…read moreIt can be a bit much at times due to conversations. The WiFi in the corner by the front door is sus due to the access point in the ceiling. I told the owner I stopped coming because of the weak WiFi. It is hit or miss. Other than that, the place is nice! Well, other than the random dude 'ing on the barroom floor! He said he really had to go!
