Auntie Irene's Coffee Shop - Des Moines

They have breakfast and lunch options, sandwiches, pastries, ice cream, milkshakes, and more. They do all of those well, can't really go wrong anything. Service is great, and on top it all, they have a drive through. One thing to keep in mind is during certain times they can get pretty busy, so be mindful that your order may take longer than usual. Pro-tip: You can call ahead and order here. Well deserved 5 stars from me, I'll go out of my way to pick up food here.

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.

We visited this coffee shop during a recent trip down South and had coffee and breakfast. All I have to say is WOW, the food, coffee and views are fantastic. You will not be disappointed.

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.

I LOVE Auntie Irene's. I order from here in the mornings sometimes, and it's the perfect start to my day. Delicious burritos and bagel sandwiches, excellent drinks, and I even get really sweet notes on the bag from the staff sometimes. Thanks for really giving me that morning pick-me-up.
