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.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
