Tiny shop with big business! This was my third visit as i am making this review and wow it has been consistently been busy every time i come here. I ordered the matcha green tea latte with oat milk this time. Tasty and well sweetened without having anything added. My husband ordered an iced vanilla latte and our drink loving teenager ordered an iced chai. I've had all these drinks in the past and they are consistently delicious. Shop is tiny and has seats for about 15-18 people. Comfortably: 10-12 people. It gets so packed and backed up that I never stay long enough for 15 minutes. I have always visited on a week day mid morning. Great location too. Service is nice and quick with the drinks. I have mostly been served by younger college student aged baristas. I gave 4 stars because I notice I get cross contaminated drinks and get stomachaches once in awhile when I order a hot drink. Other than that it's been a nice experience. Would recommend read more

Great place for fast service and great coffee. Inside, there's good music and groups of people working or just catching up. I went alone, grabbed an iced latte to go and was shocked by the fast service. I would sit there forever if I could. Recommend ordering coffee to enjoy there for the whole experience. read more

A true neighborhood feel in a coffee shop! We ordered 4 different kinds of drinks and added a waffle to share and I would do it all again! The cashier was patient with us as we fumbled through our order and even gave a couple suggestions and they were spot on! Check shop hours as they don't open until 8:30am so plan accordingly. read more

Stopped in with partner for coffees and a sweet treat. A treat indeed! The coffee lattes were perfectly balanced with bold coffee and sweet flavors (banana brulee special SO good). Their signature crackly cream puffs have the nice crisp, chewy exterior and are filled to the max with delicious cream in different flavors. Not a ton of seating, but a cute place with friendly and welcoming staff. read more

Stopped by early morning for a crepe and it was the perfect amount to start my day. Service was quick and the staff were super friendly. The place has a cozy coffee shop vibe that makes you want to stick around a little longer. The coffee itself wasn't anything to write home about, but the crepe made up for it. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

I will definitely be going back a million times to this place. I know people love their matcha and their lattes so decided to to get an iced espresso matcha! I personally love that matcha "tastes like grass" lol but I think the people who steer away from matcha because of that, would love this drink. There is a great amount of sweetness to it, the coffee and matcha is a great combo. 100/10!! read more

Such a cozy and cute cafe! The matcha and coffee is delicious. First time I went in here I had the matcha iced latte with vanilla and caramel cold foam. It was a really delicious combo. The other day I went and got a berry cheesecake latte and it was just as superb. They also have these amazing creme puffs that I think anyone who doesn't have a gluten allergy like me must go have because wow they look amazing. The staff is so friendly! this last time I went in they offered me a punch card which I definitely took because it's one of my new go to cafes. read more

My sister and I went here because it was on Coffee Hop and we will most definitely be back. I ordered a caramel latte and it was the best I have had in a while. My sister ordered a raspberry white chocolate mocha that was also delicious. We both ordered a butter croissant that I would also recommend. Everyone working was helpful and had a smile on their face. The place is a little small, but we were still able to find a seat after a little bit. I would totally recommend! read more

I cannot recommend enough! Little local spot that has great drinks and pastries! They have a lot of really fun flavors for both. I got the Thai iced coffee which was amazing as well as the strawberry and sweet cream crepe which was super light and fluffy. I've also tried the creme brulee and a couple other drinks and they are all very good. The owners are a very nice family and super caring. I was here studying with some friends and they changed the music just for us without us asking to help with studying. Very genuine people and this extends into the ambiance which is very unique and comforting. Only downside is there isn't a ton of seating. read more

We enjoyed visiting the Cafe while visiting West Des Moines. The cafe is nicely decorated, with a friendly and helpful staff. Everyone enjoyed their beverages, I liked the Thai Iced Tea, but it could have been a little stronger on the tea flavor. Great spot to meet-up with friends or just hangout and read a book. read more

This spot was the best find close to my work!! It was a gloomy day, and yelp popped this coffee shop up. I'm in love. It's quaint right off University. I was on my way to Starbucks and I'm glad I pulled in here! The staff were very friendly, and they brought my food out almost right away. I got there the second they opened, so no one else was here yet. I got the Thai iced coffee, and croissant, and the strawberry Nutella waffles. It was the best way to brighten up my day! read more

Well I can't believe that I did not know about this heavenly coffee shop before today! It was incredible and the staff were Uber kind and very helpful. I got the sweet cream and strawberry waffle per the employees suggestion and it didn't disappoint. It was not only super delicious but it was surprisingly large. I also ordered the cream puffs to take back to the office and share. Man, do they look amazing and again a super sized cream puff! I know where I will becoming a regular at going forward. Such kind and helpful staff and exception products... This is a 'must try' place it will not disappoint! read more

OMG CREPES ARE AMAZING!! Staff are very kind. Great place for food, coffee and studying! Cozy vibe.

I love this place! Such a hidden gem near great stores and very easy to get to. I like to use the free WiFi for work and have had delicious food every time. Their Choux sells out consistently, and this croissant was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Always clean, fast, and nice to customers as well! I'll be back again. And that decor? That's the ice cream on the crepe you could say! read more

I was very impressed by the flavor of the espresso! We stopped in to treat ourselves. They had many fun drink options. We tried the brown sugar latte with coffee jelly and I would definitely recommend it! Cute and classy atmosphere, although not a lot of seating. It was full on a Wednesday mid-morning. Very friendly staff that were kind and accommodating! We will be back! read more

Ordered: choux cream ( coffee, chocolate & matcha) these are huge and delicious not overly sweet. $3.50 which we thought were a good deal for these being how fresh, tasty& the size that they are. Very Authentic Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee, very delish. Total came out less than $20-25 including tip. Environment: inviting, relaxing and great place to catch up with others, for date, studying. Ambiance was great with the music. Super friendly staff and attentive to questions and are super kind! Definitely want to try crepes next time and will be back for yummy Thai tea/coffee drinks and choux cream read more

The ratatouille is amazing. Come to think about my husband. Enjoyed the crêpes too definitely coming back.

I'm in Iowa for a work thing and I wanted a place to sit and have a coffee and do some work. I always like to try a new local coffee shop so I pulled out my trusty yelp app. And what do you know I found a winner. Sweet dude, besides having a kick ass name, is a cute little spot in a small strip mall that was exactly what I needed. Fast, friendly service. Cute atmosphere with plenty of tables and outlets to get some work done. I had the cinnamon, honey latte with oat milk - delicious. I was hungry so I got a strawberry cream crepe - so good. I left full, satisfied, and happy feeling that I was productive. Would recommend. read more

Absolutely love this little cafe in West Des Moines, their seasonal drinks are delicious and the food looked and smelled amazing (we didn't try any). The service was great and everything was very timely. The reason for a one star deduction is because there simply isn't enough seating during the rush hour. read more
