Crema's Take

Corazon is Des Moines's only organic coffee roaster, and their single-origin selections like the Yirgacheffe are so compelling that regulars find themselves unable to enjoy coffee anywhere else. The shop functions primarily as a working roastery and bean counter rather than a café, but owner Nate creates a genuine "third place" atmosphere where serious home brewers and coffee snobs gather to source beans and swap pour-over techniques. If you're the type who owns a grinder and actually cares what's in your cup, this is your destination.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

Love this coffee. We get our coffee for home here and I will pick up a drip coffee sometimes too. Hard to drink any other coffee after this!

It's just a coffee bean store. We were told it's the only roaster in Des Moines that uses organic beans. We purchased house blend and a Columbia coffee.

Love supporting this local coffee roaster. Great coffee and Nate always makes me feel at home when I visit.

I highly recommend checking out Corazón if you’re a self-proclaimed coffee snob like me and enjoy grinding your own beans at home for pour-over, French press, etc. My personal favorite is the Yirgacheffe, but I recently tried the Colombia and that one was a hit too. Yes, it’s…

We've worked with the owner of Corazon coffee multiple times for our client appreciation events. Nate knows his coffee beans and is easy to work with. This shop also offers a variety of teas if you prefer that over coffee.
