Uptown Dairy
617 SW 3rd St, Ankeny, IA
Crema's Take
“Uptown Dairy brilliantly merges two cravings into one destination, sourcing espresso from local roaster Coffalo to create standout affogatos and expertly-pulled lattes that rival dedicated coffee shops. The vibe is warm and unpretentious—families, couples, and solo coffee lovers alike gather in a spotlessly clean space where you can linger with a slow pour or grab a pastry and breakfast item on your way out. It's the kind of place where espresso excellence meets genuine hospitality, all with the bonus of creamy, inventive ice cream flavors that actually complement the coffee rather than compete with it.”

I had a great experience at Uptown! I ordered an espresso with my ice cream and it was the perfect combo. Their coffee is super good, and I love that they partner with a local company, Coffalo, to supply their beans. You can really taste the quality. They also do breakfast every first Saturday of the month, which is a really cool addition. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re in the area!
I wanted coffee and my daughter wanted ice cream so we tried this place out and it was wonderful. One of the best lattes I’ve had and great customer service. Will definitely be back!
Coffee. & Ice cream! Ice cream with coffee! Today I randomly search ice cream near me. Uptown dairy popped up I thought well maybe because they do affogato? Nope I seen images of yummy coffee! I’ve tried every coffee shop near and far in ankeny! This was just what I needed before I move to a new state! Literally best latte I’ve had in a while! I’m love coffee and this was chefs kiss! I got the coconut breeze with cold foam and subbed for almond milk! 100/10 also the staff completed the experience by being so sweet!
I LOVE Uptown Dairy! The coffee is one of the best in the area. Love their espresso! I also discovered affogatos here, ice cream topped with espresso, a genius invention. Highly recommend!
- very clean inside & outside - Ice cream was pretty good, lots of flavors to choose from and they offered samples :) - the lactaid tablets for 50¢ made me laugh & I thought it was brilliant
