Best coffee in the DSM metro area without a doubt! Simple menu full of quality coffee staples and always has great, unique seasonal drinks! Owners and baristas are always friendly and accommodating.

This is the best coffee! I love coming here whenever I can. The staff is always so friendly and very fast service. The homemade poptarts are a favorite with my kids (and me too). The Golden Hour latte is my go-to order but I love their seasonal menu options too. Typically I'll grab to go (again, fast service) but I like working from their tables. Outlets nearby every table for charger. This is a must stop!

I've been a customer since the day they opened. This shop has been a great addition to the neighborhood. Matt and his staff are always a pleasure to talk to and the drinks have been consistent and of high quality. The seasonal and holiday menus add in a pleasant variety of you're not in the mood for your regular drink.

I’m always trying to find solid coffee shops/roasters in cities I visit. This is the one here! I took a sip of my flat white and turned back to by some coffee beans. Light & bright.. smooth extraction and well proportioned drink. The ambiance is easy on the eye; modern and fresh. Service was calm and welcoming. They also provide delivery service for their beans if you’re out of state. Overall great place to grab your coffee, study or hang out with a friend. Local excellence!

Great little mom and pop that roasts their own beans. Coffee was delicious and the coffee flight was a lot of fun. Check this out if you are in Grimes.

Delicious local coffee shop! They have an excellent latte and are precise with their measurements so you have a consistent experience each time! I went on a Saturday morning and the place was hopping! Definitely a popular location. There’s an okay amount of seating, but it will fill up quickly during busy times. The workers were very cheerful and helpful! I eagerly anticipate returning and recommend anyone who loves good coffee to try this out!
