Great freshly brewed, strong coffee. Tea was wonderful. One of the best wine and beer selections in Des Moines. The atmosphere is unlike anything I‘ve seen in the Midwest -- it changes from a coffeehouse in the morning to more of a smoke-free lounge at night. This is a wonderful addition to what is fast becoming the hippest neighborhood in Des Moines - the Drake Neighborhood.

Cool, clean and funky. Exactly what we need in the Drake area. I love the imported beers and the smoke-free atmosphere. It gets a little loud at times (concrete floors) to have a conversation.

The most interesting coffee shop in the midwest.

Intense red colors, interesting drinks for all times of the day, a live music stage, etc. What a concept!

I had a Croatian beer and my wife had a Carmel Mocha that they call a "Moonwalker." Awesome all around.

I‘ll be back for sure.
