Suggestions for Cafe, Coffee, and Tea House near North of Grand, Des Moines

Kelsey J. • December 26, 2011Sure, it may be a chain, but this place breeds the same cozy, diverse atmosphere like an indie coffee house tucked away in NYC. People of all ages come to chat, work or read. Hurry to get an outlet!

Terry L. • April 7, 2013What a great place. Nachos = Awesome, Burgers = Awesome, Beer = Super Awesome. Don't miss a chance to go here.

Tiffany G. • April 5, 2014Long lines but the lines move pretty fast. Worth the wait: the lemon macaron was so good it brought a tear to my eye.

Alyson B. • September 20, 2012The chicken spaetzle soup is a must try!!! It's a well seasoned chicken and dumpling soup. So delicious.

Ryan S. • April 12, 2015Best Tea selection of any coffee shop in DSM that I've found.

Estepha F. • March 27, 2015Gorgeous place with thoughtful exhibits and nice staff. Open late Thursday nights for a great date!

TJ M. • February 29, 2012Everything is great here from the tarts, to the paninis, to the hot chocolate with cream leaf designs. Ignore Starbucks for an always great experience.

Nathan B. • September 11, 2023Finally! The lobby is open after two weeks of being closed!

Tony T. • September 7, 2014Great atmosphere. Plenty of room. Great place to get work done or study. Free refills on coffee. If you love tarimisu, it's amazing! Also check out the unique lattes and mochas like the Nutty Irishman

Aaron H. • February 13, 2014Kind if small but nice baristas and good musical selection.

Megan M. • November 19, 2016Used to be a snooty French place called Baru. They've renamed it and actually offer food we would eat. We'll have to remember this next time we're here. We ate a huge breakfast before we came today.

Rebecca S. • September 27, 2011Try a Pumpkin Latte and a pastry - perfect for fall.

Rebecca S. • September 30, 2011Did you know Cowles Cafe in Cowles Library is now open on Sundays from 6:00p.m. - 11:00p.m.
