Brian OlsonMay 13, 2013The Cafe Borgia is an awesomely refreshing change to normal coffee...get one!
Blueberry muffins will melt-in-your-mouth- ask for it warmed up!
- Convenient drive-thru to grab a quick, local coffee while passing through Des Moines.
Chicken pot pie lunch special was very good. EAt MoRE chIKEn!
Jessica Van WykSeptember 2, 2011This place has a very relaxing atmosphere, great for studying with a delicious cup of coffee.
Matt DennerJanuary 15, 2014Andes mint pie sounds delicious, but kind of tastes like chocolate toothpaste.- Sweet Georgia Brown is absolutely delicious. A must have for anyone.
Try the Borgia, it sounds a little weird but it is amazing!!
Try the Vanilla Chai! It's AMAZING! It tastes like crumb cake..only in the liquid form. Excellent atmosphere here too! (bring stuff to study if you want!)
My special smoothie : banana and spinach.. Don't knock it until you try it
If you come in to use the wifi don't be a cheap jerk buy a cup of coffee at least!
Want something refreshing and not coffee based? Add some coconut to your bottomless Coke!
There malts are so good! My favs are rocky road and moose tracks!
The Malibu Chicken-nini sandwich is the best. Roasted red peppers and moist chicken breast in great panini style.
Gets very crowded around lunch on weekends if you're coming to get work done.- Get a Vanilla Chai and ask for a bit of the Spice flavoring.
Jonathan MeyerAugust 5, 2015The pomegranate tea tastes just like I'd expected, but don't leave it sit too long, otherwise it becomes unreasonably bitter.
For Pete's sake, stay away from the hightop tables. They will annihilate your tush.
Sit at the bar...baristas may offer free shots (of espresso).
- try almond & armaretto together... so good in a latte!
The chicken tortilla soup is my favorite soup anywhere.
- "Soup of the day", OFFERED FOR THE PAST 8 DAYS AT LEAST (I was there 8 days ago) Cheeseburger Chowder to put it mildly, AWFULL!!! Small rabbit poop size balls tasteless and unpleasant. Never again.
- This place would do well to have some local Iowa beers available.
- On a hot day, nothing beats an iced Ginger Peach tea. Also, coconut iced lattes are suprsingly refreashing.
This coffee shop isn't big enough for the both of us.
