Daisy Chain Coffee

Probably one of the best lattes I’ve ever had! I ordered the cinnamon and honey latte. Delish! This coffee shop is a must visit for anyone who appreciates a perfectly crafted drink.

Good vibes and great coffee. You can buy local art or check out some nice shirts at the store connected to the coffee shop.

Great place. Had a hot America w/ an extra shot, good coffee. Price is right. Service Great.

I always enjoy stopping at Daisy chain on my way through Des Moines. The barista is friendly and helpful. The coffee and specialty drinks are nice. They had a lovely vegan oatmeal cream pie in their pastry case. Just like the Little Debbie ones! Delicious. They also have a selection of local honeys.

Super friendly staff, good coffee and great vibes. Miel latte was the perfect balance of coffee and honey.

Daisy Chain is a chill coffee shop, though a bit small, it is bright and clean. The baristas are all exceptional and if you're lucky enough to catch the owner behind the counter he will chat you up in the most genuine way. The coffee is great, they have a locally roasted blend for their house coffee and honestly it is the best I've found. We buy their 5lb bags of beans for use at home in our espresso machine, always consistent and always delicious. The expected coffee drinks are all there and made with care. I've also had many of their specials, they are interesting and great, though sometimes I ask to cut the amount of sugar.

Our favourite coffee shop in Des Moines. The owner (Daniel) and his team make excellent coffees, genuinely care about everyone who walks through the door, and the queues move quickly. They often have rotating exhibits from local artists, and a selection of local honey, Daniel is also an expert on national parks if you need to plan an escape.

One of the better tasting coffee places downtown. They definately use good bean. I typically get and americano with nothing in it. Tastes smooth, no burnt flavor like some other places. They have unique specialty items as well

Great vanilla iced latte in a cute part of town! I'm passing through but I could easily spend half a day with a friend in this area! Beyond the tasty coffee, the service was great. Both employees were kind & warm...the kind of people that do a great job because they want to & it shows! I'm a fan!

Great service and friendly staff. However, I've been there twice and was so disappointed both times. Once a barista came to his shift, walked in the front door and proceeded right behind the counter offering to help me. They didn't wash their hands - so I passed. The second visit the barista was working behind the counter, gave a customer's dog a biscut, touching the dogs mouth and continued making drinks without washing their hands. Done.

Absolutely loved everything about this place. Raygun was full of really cool little trinkets & all that, but the coffee was the star. I wish I had gotten the name of where the pastries came from because wow that scone was probably the best scone I've ever had. It was a season cranberry scone of sorts, and I'll think about it until I visit again. Now back to the coffee. Holy cannoli, they have done it right. The balance of flavors, not too sweet, is stellar. You can tell that each drink is made with love. The barista (and im assuming owner?) was so funny. He was just chatting with people while making drinks, and you can really tell that he loves his work. Absolutely will go back

Super nice guy working, delicious coffee, great location, no complaints! Would return for sure!

Time and time again the awarded Daisy Chain is my 10/10 coffee shop. As a WFH (+ espresso enthusiast), I sit and work as dozens of coffee shops monthly. By far, Daisy Chain has the BEST espresso. Out of this world! I prefer other shops if I'm needing to sit and work for a while (comfier seating). I always take my friends and family to Daisy Chain when exploring downtown. The owner is a neat guy! Definitely recommend trying a drink with honey... he wins awards for his beekeeping!

Owned by the best/most knowledgeable coffee guy in town. The coffee is always perfect and delicious. Cool space, staff is always nice and can't beat the price.. 5 start for sure!

The barista was very nice, and recommended the iced pistachio caramel latte, and it was outstanding! This place will not disappoint even the biggest coffee snob

We were staying nearby and were walking around in the morning looking for coffee. We did the touristy thing and stopped someone with a Daisy chain cup and they directed us here. We went into this little store and stood in a long, but quick-moving line, and ordered an espresso and cold brew. The staff were really nice and easygoing. There was a nice, relaxed vibe about the place. I really like my espresso, however, the cold brew was terrible. It wasn't a bad brew or anything, we just really did not like the coffee itself - just personal preference. But, that might just be us. I recommend you try it for yourself.

Stopped in early on a Saturday morning. Barista was very friendly and talkative which I liked. I tried the Meli which was great! It is cinnamon latte + honey. The only downside is limited seating otherwise great place!

Stopped for Sunday morning coffee and enjoyed a delicious latte with a shot of vanilla. This was not my first cup of the day, and I appreciated that they a small size, believe it was 8 ounces. The atmosphere is bright with plenty of windows, but there was no music playing so it was rather quiet. Some soothing Jazz music would have helped the Sunday-morning vibe. There was only one person behind the counter as the barista/cashier, which made for slower than expected service. Very cool Shepard Fairy piece hanging on the wall!

LOVE Daisy Chain. Not only is the coffee delicious the staff is super personable! I had the Miel and the pistachio latte special and it is always tasty! They are also dog friendly! 10/10 recommend!!

I love Daisy Chain in DSM! The Miel and the Pistachio latte are wonderful. The coffee is one of my favorites in the US. Very kind staff with quick intentional chats and the line is fast paced if there is one. The wax mini sculptures are very fun and unique. A must go to when in DSM! It's located in a great area to walk with friends aswell and stop in local shops.

We ordered the vanilla cold brew and pistachio latte. Both drinks were phenomenal! Welcoming vibe and you can't beat the bison mounted on the wall! Barista was extremely friendly and gave recommendations for the area as we were traveling. Next time I am passing through the Des Moines area, this is a definite stop!

Tried to order but don't allow dogs I can't say if coffee was good or bad bc we left to go to a more dog friendly business

Top notch espresso and coffee. The staff is great as well. We were in from out of town and need a dog fix as well. Daisy China did not disappoint as we got kisses from 5-6 dogs.

Pistachio Honey Latte is delicious! Busy place but worth the wait. I went on a Sunday around 10AM.

My favorite coffee shop when in DesMoines. Nice welcoming vibe with uncompromising excellent espresso and drinks

Nice vibe, fast and friendly service. Americano was super smooth and refreshing, not bitter at all. 10/10.

Daisy chain is my favorite spot for coffee in the east village. It has a fun, relaxed vibe and the coffee is delicious. I especially like the Miel. The baristas are friendly and easygoing. I wish the was more sitting space, I would probably stop more if so.

Cute little shop in the East Village. Small space with limited seating, but totally worth going in and grabbing a drink. The owner and his family have offered me great service all the times I've come in. I've gotten his ice lattes, ice chai, and honey that he MAKES! A local bee-keeper who is totally cool to talk with. Highly recommend!

New to the neighborhood and this place is a must stop. Great atmosphere with quick and excellent service. Love the Americano and Vanilla latte with oat milk.

This is my favorite coffee place in Des Moines! Beautifully crafted drinks, and Daniel's the kind of guy who remembers what's going on in your life from your last visit. Perfect combination of excellent coffee, great atmosphere, and chill people. I'm here a few times a week and love it every time

Best iced mocha in Des Moines hands down. I get mine with an extra shot of espresso for the flavor, MOM! I'm. Not. Addicted. Small town vibes with interesting bee lore.

Get the Miel, you can thank me later. Definitely the best I've ever had and I've had a few. The owner uses his own honey, which is available for purchase also. I was very impressed with his service skills also, very long line of people but able to multitask so you don't feel ignored. And the wait was worth it.

Everything here is super tasty. Shockingly good pastries in the morning (seems like they go fast), great coffee... and they serve local honey-infused items that (I've heard, haven't tried) are great. Why 4 stars? They only serve pour overs if they happen to have an open bag of single origin going. It's not even on their menu. It's AWESOME that they were able to make me one! But... why not just have one going all the time? Or better yet, a couple of beans available? Maybe pour overs aren't popular enough in DSM to make it worth it, idk. The pour over was SOLID though. Also... there seems to be a sewer backup/smell going =/ hopefully they fix that soon. The pluses here are so good that they deserve 6 stars (fantastic local food/drinks, very friendly people) but the negatives need to be addressed (pour overs are an afterthought, sewer backup, spotty wifi). If I come back to Des Moines will DEF stop in here again, and can hopefully give them the 5 stars they deserve.

The staff ignored my wife when she walked in with our son. There was no one else at the time. A customer (white) walked in after she gave her order and that person received an enthusiastic welcome. The coffee was good but the service was poor. Interesting that the reviewers rave about the customer service.

A great stop when you are in the East Village. Owner operated, very nice person, and excellent coffee. I'm usually just a latte guy and they do not disappoint. They also sell their own local honey. I've now been her on three different occasions and each time I was very happy with every aspect. They now have a bit more seating if you want to relax for a bit. Highly recommended.

Stopped here on our way out of town. Shop was pretty busy with one person working but she took her time on each drink and didn't rush or seem in a hurry. Drinks were delicious. Wish there was some seasonal specialty lattes but besides that - perfection ! Well balanced, delicious.

Outstanding coffee, espresso drinks, tasty honey, and super staff. A+ - highly recommended!!

I enjoyed Mars Coffee before in this location, but since it has switched over to Daisy Chain Coffee, I have found that I love this shop even more. This coffee shop is run by the nicest guy and the shop itself seems to have so much more character & charm; I completely enjoy the bee and honey theme throughout the shop. In addition to your caffeinated beverage of choice, you can also snag coffee beans, chocolate bars, danishes, and local honey.

This is a great coffee shop that offer both decaf and oat milk. The oat milk seems to be oatly which is the best brand and tastes the best in coffee. I have had a great experience with Dan in terms of conversation, quality of drink and service. I came in on Saturday and the person working seemed very distracted. There was a line of about 4 people including me and it took over 20 minutes to just reach the register. Then another 5 minutes for the coffee to be ready. I have lived in busy cities and never waited this long to have someone just take my order. Out of the 4 people in line 1 stormed out and seemed irritated with the wait time. Safe to say I will not return on weekends and potentially during week if this person is working as I don't have time for a wait time like this.

My all time favorite coffee shop. Best baristas, quality drinks, and good vibes! Very cute and talented baristas

You have to try the homemade lemonade with honey, omg it so mouth watering great!! It had wonder staff and locally sourced honey for sale. I was pleasantly surprised at you good the lemonade was!

By far the best coffee spot in Des Moines! I look for any excuse to stop by. Great atmosphere, great coffee, great service.

Best coffee in Des Moines hands down. It's always a great starting our morning off with Daisy Chain!
