Auntie Irene's Coffee Shop - Des Moines

What a cool place! I'm from Southern California and was visiting the Seattle area for five days to see my sister. I stopped by Auntie Irene's three times. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. The staff is both cordial and efficient and they serve great coffee. I enjoyed a tasty sandwich one day and some of their delicious pastries on my other two visits. I could not help but notice that the owner was exactly what an owner should be present, helping her staff, and seeing to things in general. I plan on going back to Auntie Irene's the next time I visit my sister.

Absolutely love this place for my morning stop of coffee and getting a breakfast bagel. I highly recommend the staff is great, the food and coffee is outstanding. Best coffee stand in Des Moines. I typically order the ham/sausage breakfast bagel with my usual white chocolate mocha. They also have a delicious milkshake made with real ice cream.

The employees are so friendly, the selection is diverse, and the menu includes sandwiches (there is a figgy sandwich special that sounds delicious), coffees, ice cream and more. This is my girlfriend's favorite, and she says ONLY, place to get black licorice icecream around here. Being that they also sell icecream in pints and quarts, my GF went with a quart and let me taste some. Expecting a overwhelming strong licorice taste, I found it unexpectedly very tasty! I myself also ordered a cup of cookies n cream and enjoyed it very much. Cant wait to go back and try other menu items! I forgot to mention, they have a Drive-Thru as well as inside area!!

Nice coffee shop. They were pretty quick with my order despite having a never ending drive-thru line. I’d go again. Note to self: Do not park in front of store during peak times. You’ll be trapped by the drive thru line.

Great staff delicious ice cream and drinks. I have not had any food yet they offer but I'm sure it's great too! Best place to bring your family and enjoy some yummy treats!
