Friedrichs Coffee
4126 University Ave, Des Moines, IA
Crema's Take
“Friedrichs Coffee is a beloved neighborhood spot where the baristas remember your name and craft both classic espresso drinks and creative signatures like cherry matcha and peach energy drinks with genuine care. Beyond exceptional coffee and cold brew, they've built a welcoming hub with stellar pastries, outdoor seating perfect for lingering, and that rare quality of consistency—regulars rave about never having a bad experience over months or years of visits. It's the kind of place where the energy is playful and family-friendly, where you can grab something quick or settle in for hours, and where a seasonal pumpkin spice latte tastes like it was made just for you.”

The staffs there were super friendly, and they made drinks really quick, we love the cream foam on the top, so creamy, I got special cherry matcha, my husband got peach energy drink.
been coming here for over a year and i’ve never had a bad experience. i personally love their smoothies and cold brew, they also have an amazing selection of bakery items. i’ve been hooked on their s’mores cold brew since i first tried it in august and it has been my go-to since. overall an amazing local coffee shop, one of my favorite places to visit.
Had my first official pumpkin spice latte for the season and it was great! I also saw a couple of cute kids and groovy dressers. Outside seating for enjoying a lovely autumn day.
Great coffee! I was visiting Des Moines and stopped by this shop and I think this should be something for Iowa. The staff were very friendly and the place has a good impression.
Americano and service were very good. I had a playful interaction with the barista. I ordered a pound of their Columbian. I originally asked for the House Blend and then changed my mind. He then struggled to get it right in the system. The back and forth was fun and he noted it on the bag of coffee.
