Crema's Take

Daisy Chain Coffee is a passionate, quirky gem where the owner's genuine enthusiasm shines through in every cup and conversation—he even produces his own honey and beeswax candles, which perfectly captures the slow, intentional vibe of this place. Their espresso-focused drinks are genuinely excellent (locals rave about their mochas and seasonal specials), and the cozy atmosphere makes it feel less like a transaction and more like visiting a friend who happens to pull exceptional shots.

Fun little coffee shop, fantastic coffee, interesting owner sells honey from his own bees, beeswax candles ect. Interesting fella, very enjoyable to chat with. I had the Maple cream, hubby had toasted hazelnut, mocha. Both very good. We lingered and chatted with the locals who suggested the shop next door, Purveyor, for wonderful sandwiches and food. We shopped at Raygun which is attached? Fun items, mugs, t shirts, lots of politically incorrect, funny things. Great little area downtown Des Moines.

Really good coffee, really good atmosphere, owner is really nice and was even willing to give us an interview for a project. It's cool that he makes all the honey himself #Savethebees

I got an Americano, which was delicious. You can always tell the quality of the coffee shop by how good their espresso is. I also had the maple (something) scone, which was also delicious. It is a cozy place with a colectic decor. The barista was very personable and welcoming.

They had lots of specials when we were there. We each got one of the fall specials which were excellent. The barista was really friendly and helpful too.

I was in search of the perfect mocha latte using the windmill coffee house blend. I visited 2 other local shops with the same order and @Daisy Chain won me over with the smooth blend, the perfect froth, and the cute artistry in a cup. It had just the right amount of sweetness and balance of milk where I was thoroughly pleased. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a fluke so I came back the next day with the same order and it was perfection in a cup again. My new coffee shop and you should make it yours too.
