Life Cafe
11911 Hickman Rd, Urbandale, IA
Crema's Take
“This Urbandale gem attached to Lifetime Fitness has earned serious loyalty for its genuinely fresh, health-focused approach to coffee and smoothies that actually tastes like quality work, not shortcuts. Regulars rave about the variety of specialty drinks and smoothies that cater to specific dietary needs—think post-workout protein options and creative flavor combinations—making it feel more like a wellness partner than just a caffeine stop. While the recent price increases have stung some of the budget-conscious crowd, travelers and gym members consistently praise it as a standout for quality that rivals what you'd make at home, with the added convenience of a streamlined app ordering system.”

Amazing fresh, healthy food! I really like the options!!!!!!! Super convenient on my app to pay and not have to stop at a fast food place! Same quality as I make at home!
I have enjoyed the food and especially my the smoothies. They have variety and meet my dietary needs. I enjoy them as post workout protein with added benefits.
WOW!!!!! I am honestly impressed!!!

I am satisfied 5 stars for you guys ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I really like that everything here is healthy and fresh, but they upped their prices $2 on most things like a month or two ago … so it’s not really affordable anymore for a regular stop. $10 for a smoothie is pretty unreasonable.
We were traveling along I-80 and wanted a healthy place to eat. We gave this a try and were very happy. It is attached to the Lifetime Fitness Gym, but they let us into the Cafe. The front desk and cafe staff were great and super helpful. The options were exactly what we needed and tasted amazing. The kids were happy with their options and the adults we pleased to stay on track. We would highly recommend Lifetime!
