Freedom Blend Coffee
2329 Hickman Rd, Des Moines, IA
Crema's Take
“Freedom Blend's rustic cabin aesthetic and in-house roasted coffee create an unexpectedly tranquil retreat that doesn't feel chaotic even on busy Saturday mornings. Beyond solid espresso drinks, their savory pies and crepe-like quesadillas showcase a kitchen that punches well above typical coffee shop fare, making it worth lingering over breakfast or a laptop session. The spacious, thoughtfully designed room welcomes both coffee enthusiasts and non-coffee drinkers alike, though service speed can be inconsistent during peak hours.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Great place to lose track of time or relax in the morning. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Stopped by on a Saturday morning and it was not chaotic like many other cafés, especially a large chain. Enjoyed a coffee with my wife and some great food. I will have say you need…
Great tasting coffee! How nice that it's roasted in-house! The café is also big, beautiful, and spacious! Lots of alternative options for non-coffee drinkers. If I lived closer I'd probably be there every day. I love their coffee, and I love their mission!
