I rarely write reviews, but we are from out of town and noticed how friendly everyone in Des Moines is until we stopped here.... Both employees were very rude. It was almost like they were mad at each other. We ordered and they forgot about one order andthen made the other order wrong. We were sitting at the bar and they wanted to close so they were spraying chemicals near ourdrinks. We moved outside and were told that they needed to close and move the chairs inside. We arrived at 4:30. They were openfor another half hour. It was extremely rude. Read more

Great prices and they serve Bauder's pharmacy ice cream. Try a peppermint chip sundae with hot fudge!

Bagel was fresh. Service a bit slow. Cappuccino was heavy on milk.

Fun, old-fashioned style soda fountain in Des Moines' East Village! Best part is, it's a specialty micro-business employing... individuals with disabilities. There is a used bookstore in the back that you can browse. They don't do any advertising, soit's rarely crowded since only locals know about it. Read more

Super friendly staff who helped me find a great "surprise me" drink for my husband. They suggested the Gandalf with almond milk... hot and he loved it. I got the Raven and it was a fantastic wake me up cold drink. Their book selection may be smaller than someshops but they still have a wide selection on topics so there is something for everyone! Thanks for being such a great littlegem to find while we were home visiting family. Read more
