Cafe Diem - Ankeny

BEST coffee I’ve had in Iowa. I drive to the opposite side of town every day just for this coffee. The staff is super friendly and they have an awesome rewards program. Highly recommended.

I enjoy bringing my laptop and working here while my husband is in a three-hour therapy session at On with Life. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Even though I'm not a coffee drinker, I absolutely love their Chai Latte! They offer a variety of tasty add-ins that really enhance the drink. They recognize my order by now, which is a nice personal touch! Additionally, they have delightful muffins and scones, along with a selection of breakfast and sandwich options.

Having an early breakfast here feels more like a brunch, as the hearty portions leave you satisfied well into lunch. I tried their breakfast burrito and honestly could have (and probably should have) stopped after the first half. I expected a smaller 4-5 inch burrito since it was slightly cheaper than their breakfast plate, but it turned out to be large enough to share and absolutely delicious. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive as well.

Absolutely amazing! The food is incredible, and I highly recommend trying the Nutella pancakes and the strawberry-covered smoothie. They are both delicious and make you feel right at home! :D

I visited this restaurant for the first time, and it was fantastic! My Iced Americano was made exactly to my liking. The medium roast shots were excellent, and the breakfast sandwich was quite generous in size. Most importantly, the woman at the counter and the waitstaff were very friendly. It's a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.
