Smokey Row Coffee
300 Grand Ave, Des Moines, IA
Crema's Take
“Smokey Row is a sprawling Des Moines favorite where creative signature drinks like the Irishman Latte and Dutch Chocolate Mocha Latte steal the show, backed by a genuinely welcoming crew that makes first-timers feel like regulars. The generous space hits that sweet spot between buzzy social hub and focused study spot, with enough seating and cozy atmosphere to justify camping out for hours with good food and excellent coffee.”

Stopped in while on a small in and out vacation. And so glad to enjoy their Irishman Latte. The crew was very nice and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Would definitely be back. Support your LOCALS
The service was phenomenal. It was our first time here and I tried the Dutch chocolate mocha latte. Highly recommend!
I love coming to Smokey Row to study or hang out with my friends! The place has a cozy atmosphere, great food, and delicious drinks. It’s one of my favorite spots to relax, chat, or get some work done. The staff are friendly and the vibe is always welcoming.
Stopped at Smokey Row Coffee Cafe on our way out of town. It’s a large, welcoming space with tons of drink options and plenty of seating — great for studying or hanging out. We had breakfast along with coffee and a chai tea. The food came out hot and fresh, though it’s more of a basic breakfast style (our sandwiches didn’t have any sauce). The chai is made with powder, which isn’t my favorite, but the overall experience was pleasant and the staff was friendly.
We stopped here for coffee and dessert. Love the atmosphere of this coffee place and the tiramisu was delicious. I was surprised that the clerk had never heard of a « cortado » before. She was able to make it after I explained to her what it is.
