Order: Cappuccino Price: $4 Pros: Fast and cheap Cons: The espresso wasn’t very good, and the foam for the cappuccino was mediocre Thoughts: I was on the way into the office and absolutely had to have some coffee as the last 2 days had been pretty sparse in the way of good coffee. I ran inside real fast and it was completely empty, granted it was early in the morning but not really a good sign. Regardless, I went ahead and ordered a cappuccino and then dashed back to the car to head off to work. I didn’t get a really a long look at the interior but it was nice, clean, with enough seating that I could see this as an easy place to hang out with friends or get some work done. Unfortunately the cappuccino didn’t live up to the same level. The foam on top was pretty tasteless and the espresso seemed charred and rather bland. I don’t know what bean Timbuktuu uses, or if they are just pulling the espresso at too high a temperature, but it definitely wasn’t the cup of coffee I was hoping it would be. While some of the more specially drinks might be good, I’m a coffee and espresso person so given that the espresso in the cappuccino wasn’t up to par its definitely not a place I would go out of my way to visit again.

This is a very comfortable coffeehouse on the East end of a big strip mall on the very busy street called EP True Parkway. It has a pleasant house blend of coffee and a good selection of pastries. There is free parking in front of the building and a drive-up window. There are six tables with chairs and two big couches and two iron patio tables outside with four iron patio chairs. The prices are reasonable.

The best coffee bar in town!! I would live there if theyd let me...the Lattes/coffee is tasty and quite smooth. Baristas are friendly and consistent....quick/convenient drive through...I live and work in WDM so I only frequent the one on EP True, but know the Baristas work all locations....Dang, now I must go get one...

Just went here on Saturday and ordered a mocha frappuccino. The guy made a hot drink. Then I said thats not what I ordered then poured the drink into a different cup and put ice in it. Not usually what I get when I order a mocha frappuccino. Was really disappointed however I think the guy was new

First of all the coffee is great. My goto here is an Americano, theyve never given me a bad one they keep quality coffee beans. Secondly the staff and owner are very nice and friendly. One of the Des Moines Metros best coffee places.

A lot of folks come here to have business talks. I came to work on the computer. The staff was very nice and the coffee was great. The food and drink display did not look appetizing and the muffin wasnt good.

Espresso was foul. Definitely not worth the money. I took one sip and left it. Quality is clearly an after thought here as no one is drinking the coffee to make sure it is palatable.

I liked the coffee there, but it was a little small for me and it was not very noticeable from the street. But Id definitely go there again with a friend to catch up.

Nothing special. Coffee tasted a little water downed. Wouldnt go out of my way for this coffee but since its right across the street from me the convenience is nice

The owner is very friendly and the price is very reasonable. I ordered an Americano and it was is good, but not great.

Some of the best coffee in town. Good breakfast burritos (not in the menu). Friendly service.

Single pour cheaper than gas station coffee. Wow! Smoothies are good too
