The inside of the shop is so cute! I love the apparel and candles they sell. I ordered a hot white mocha and it was one of the best I’ve ever had, plus the staff was so friendly. I’ll definitely be back.

My favorite coffee placenin Central Iowa. There Home Fire Espresso beans are to die for.I love an Americano, the Aztec Mocha which adds a little chili with your mocha. My all time favorite is the Java classic. Vanilla ice cream with Home Fire Espresso and whipped cream. Their whip cream is homemade amd I could bathe in it. I am a very rewarded customer at five different coffee shops but this is the one I go to when the others have disappointed me.

Only at this shop once in a blue moon due to living location being far away but when I’m out here they’re always so friendly. I can never remember the woman’s name but of course I ran into her again today (wearing orange shirt if she can get Recognition) and as always the biggest smile and always able to pick up a swift and pleasant conversation making you feel right at home.

Had some delicious coffee and picked up a few bags of loose tea. Great deal and its super delicious. Its small but in a charming way. Very clean, staff was good about suggesting drinks. Service was fast - so many people were in and out in the short time we were there. There was never a long wait after you ordered. Definitely going back.

I have been going to this coffee shop since I was a child, now my habit is almost daily. They have the most perfectly blended frapoucinos that I just cannot find elsewhere (no chunks of ice). The atmosphere is always laid back and the staff is polite and good at what they do. This is my top spot for coffee and smoothies and everywhere else just pales in comparison.

The staff is super friendly! What makes them amazing is helping me pick out a drink that would work with some of my diet restrictions. Its really intimidating to sort and debate and they had no issue engaging with the conversation and helping out.

I love all three Locations! Hard working Employees! They obviously take coffee drinker seriously. I usually go to 42nd Street and 22nd but a few pit stops to Urbandale. Best coffee around!!!! By far!

Really good chai latte! The service was fast and friendly. Its busy area which will keep you entertained if you are into people watching. The seat arrangements could be updated and could be made more relaxing.

Great little find off of University. Just moving here about 2 months ago, I saw the Friedrichs Coffee sign and wondered if its just a generic coffee shop who think flavored coffee is where its at. Well I was surprised to find a large choice of coffee beans from regions all around the world. They also have flavored coffees for those who enjoy it. From an always fresh house brew to all types of espresso based drinks. They will also brew an individual cup of coffee if you prefer some thing other than the coffee of the day. I particularly like Kona and Sumatra. Two complaints that I have is I do like my espresso darker roasted and I cant understand why when I say thank you to the same female barista, she will never return the normal gesture of your welcome . I dont know why that bothers me so much but it does. Thats day one in good customer service skills
