Freidrich's Coffee Bar
5800 Fleur Dr, Des Moines, IA
Crema's Take
“Friedrich's Coffee Bar surprises travelers at Des Moines airport with genuinely solid coffee and a sweet staff that makes early morning layovers feel a bit less lonely. While the operation can be inconsistent—service ranges from genuinely warm to noticeably indifferent—when they're on, you get a properly prepared cup and fresh pastries without the typical airport markup on quality.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

At 4 AM in the morning it’s tough to get a smile here(3 out of 4 were smiling). Coffee was a nice drinking temperature and tasty.
