Smokey Row Coffee
2855 Grand Prairie Pkwy, Urbandale, IA
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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

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…
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.…
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…
