Smokey Row Coffee
9150 SE University Ave, Urbandale, IA
Crema's Take
“Smokey Row's Urbandale location offers a genuinely welcoming atmosphere with a fireplace and solid wifi that makes it a reliable spot for work or lingering conversations, though consistency with drink temperature and execution seems to be a work in progress. The baristas here are genuinely accommodating—they'll remake your order without hesitation and seem less rushed than some of their sister locations—and the specialty drinks like their Raspberry Chia are worth trying when they're executed well. If you're looking for a comfortable, laptop-friendly third space with character rather than a guarantee of precision, this is worth a visit.”

Disappointing experience. Crazy clients. Just go to Starbucks and get a better consistent drink.
I’ve been here twice because the location closest to me won’t make my order because it’s a little more than an hour to close so then I come here and they never have an issue with my order. The employees are always very nice and my order ends up being great! I really appreciate them doing their job especially when I’ve been disappointed by another location.
Service is always great and the atmosphere to match, but unfortunately, the last few times we have asked for hot coffee, it has been warm at best. Work on that, please. We love your coffee, just not warm when we ask for hot.
Great location for Smokey Row Coffee. It was not busy at 7:00am Tuesday at all. Service was ok. Barista made my drink incorrectly but was willing to make my drink over. Coffee is ok. I’m happy to support local and this location is much needed for a local owned coffee shop.
Not having internet set up at my place I’ve found this place very helpful. I like the decor, especially the fire place. Clean, the Raspberry Chia was on point, & Wi-Fi has solid speed
