Crema's Take

Smokey Row's Urbandale location brings an unexpectedly polished coffee shop experience to a gas station setting, with a bright, clean space that punches above its weight in atmosphere and charm. Their espresso-focused drinks shine, particularly their specialty offerings like the pink lotus, though consistency can be hit-or-miss—but the genuinely kind staff often goes the extra mile to make things right, whether that's comping a drink or covering a family's order when payment doesn't go through. It's the kind of place where you can linger over a quality coffee and pastry or grab something quick on your way, and locals clearly appreciate both the care they put into their drinks and the welcoming vibe they've created.

I came through drive through, I order pink lotus. Paid and here comes my drink it was not mix or nothing. I told her this is not the drink I get. I know how the drink is and this is not it. She said let me mix it, so you wanted me to take it home and mix it. I will not be back. Damn

I took my daughter last night , my pay app would not work and after several attempts the nice employee working with us told us that my daughters drink and cinnamon roll was paid for. Great people

Staff was nice until I tried to exchange a pink lotus drink that was too strong for my wife which we only drank about 25% of the drink. Ask if I could exchange the pink lotus for an iced caramel late and pay the difference and the girl states no since you drank most of it which only 25% was drank. Of those was star-bucks it would have been taken care of with a smile and a greeting of understanding. Not happy with this visit and sad thing is I live down the road and come all the time.

Such a cute little gem!! Stumbling upon a cafe/eatery that feels and smells more like a boutique coffee shop you might find in the artsy neighborhood of a much bigger city, but at a GAS STATION?! So unexpected! From the hand written signs and daily specials, it's really a treat. Lots of specialty coffee drinks- I ordered the Snickers latte and a cup of cheeseburger soup- the latte is yummy, even tho a little sweeter than I usually like but I should've tried to ask in advance to try to make it a little less sweet cuz I could've foreseen.... But I just got too excited at all the fun options! Didn't get a pic of the menu but you should def make a stop and check it out.

Feels clean on every aspect. Not a huge space but plenty of seating. Obviously the more reproducible setup/decor don't have as much character as the older locations, but they have done a good job of being consistent with their products and that is what truly matters. Having the HyVee Fast & Fresh Store next door also brings convenience and more options.
