Crema's Take

Blue Bean is a modern coffee haven where they're genuinely invested in the craft—they make their own syrups in-house and offer curated coffee flights that let you explore different roasts like a sommelier would with wine. The cozy corner setup with intimate seating, thoughtfully loaded toasts, and a small but considered pastry selection make it feel like a place designed for both lingering conversations and focused work, with staff who are genuinely patient and kind about helping you discover your next favorite cup.

Nice quiet place to grab a coffee and small bite to eat. Good coffee selection with a small menu of loaded toasts and a couple pastry items. Corner seating area with 3 cozy chairs and side tables.

This is an AMAZING little gem in Ankeny, Iowa. Stopped in waiting to go to an appointment. The workers are super patient and polite. Not only do they make some of the syrups for coffee in house, they also have fresh juices AND if you're unsure of what coffee to try, they have COFFEE FLIGHTS!! ! I didn't try the food while there but the toasts look so delicious. Aside from the cozy coffee shop area, they have networking and private rooms. I would give it 10 stars if I could!! 🤘❤️

Modern coffee shop. I went here for coffee flights with two family members. We made a reservation ahead of time, I highly recommend doing that online. When we arrived we placed our flights order at the register and about 40 minutes later our coffee came out. The flights were very fresh and the flavors were fun and festive. The seating space is a little small and the wait time for coffee was long, but the coffee was delicious and the staff were very kind.

Great experience. Coffee flights were fantastic and the toast was very delicious as well. Place was well kept and staff was very helpful and kind. We received our flights of coffee very quickly with no reservation.

Was looking for a coffee shop with coffee flights. This place is a must! My favorite was pistachio mocha. The toast flight was delicious as well. The ability to choose which coffee to request for your coffee and toast flights makes it even better. Will visit again next time I am in Des Moines. The atmosphere is very welcoming. Customer service was outstanding.
