Grounds for Celebration
2709 Beaver Ave, Des Moines, IA
Crema's Take
“Grounds for Celebration feels like the living room of Des Moines' Beaverdale neighborhood, where regulars and newcomers alike gather for meticulously roasted specialty coffee and rotating local art that transforms the space into a genuine community hub. The owners' warmth shines through in every interaction, whether you're lingering over a pour over, savoring a fresh local scone, or discovering a seasonal creation like their blackberry lavender white mocha. It's the kind of place where you'll see families, couples on dates, and solo coffee lovers all equally at home, which is exactly why people keep coming back.”

Grounds for celebration is an amazing coffee shop! It is my wife and I’s weekly date spot. She loves the rotating local art and the local scones, I love the friendly staff and the wonderful owners! Ryan, Abby, and Jules are so great!
Such a great local coffee shop! The fresh roasted specialty coffee is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and adorable, and the staff are genuinely kind and welcoming. It’s the kind of place you want to linger a little longer—highly recommend stopping in!
Grounds for celebration is a great coffee shop! The coffee is great, the have a decent selection of sandwiches and pastries. The service and atmosphere are great, and I love that they display and sell work from local artists. One of my favorite coffee shops in the metro!
I really love that this coffee shop is a community staple in Beaverdale. You see people of all ages gathering here. I know everyone comes for their great coffee but I strongly believe they have the best ice tea in the Des Moines Metro. Seriously is so good. The staff are always warm and welcoming! Also a fireplace. That’s worth five stars any day.
Coffee slay!!! Grounds for Celebration is truly worth celebrating. They have a nice cozy, yet friendly and welcoming environment. I ordered a seasonal blackberry lavender white Mocha iced coffee and it was PHENOMENAL. Very tasty and well made. Prices are reasonable as well. They also have a wide variety of food items and pastries to choose from. From the moment you enter you smell sweet treats and fresh coffee. They have a calm vibe playlist in the background that keeps some white noise rolling. There are plenty of tables and chairs as well as love seat type chairs along the fireplace. This sets a nice relaxing ambiance with the sunlight coming in and the stone fireplace as a center focus. Very cozy for the winter time as well. Along the walls and on some shelves when you enter they have local art, cute earrings, some tshirts, coffee cups, and other novelty items. I came here to read my book but they have magazines, newspapers, and other materials to skim through. There were a group of people there playing cards who seem to use this as a meeting spot. Honestly why not? It’s such a welcoming spot to be at. Plenty of free parking outside. Seating is also outside if it wasn’t 100 degrees, but they keep it nice and cool inside.
