Crema's Take
“Smokey Row has carved out a beloved spot as one of Ankeny's social hubs, where the espresso-focused coffee draws genuine praise and the relaxed yet warming atmosphere makes it easy to settle in for work or conversation. While experiences with service consistency vary, the shop's friendly staff, laptop-friendly setup, and convenient drive-thru option make it a reliable choice for those seeking solid coffee and a community vibe without pretension.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Wifi. Drive-thru.

See all on Google →The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed yet warming, the service was great, and the coffee was excellent. Thank you!
My favorite coffee shop in the whole world! I’m serious. Best.
I will not go back to this Smoky Row again. There was no customer service although there were to employees behind the counter doing nothing. I wanted to leave a no star review but it have to leave at least one to make this post go through. : (
One of Ankeny's social hubs, Smokey Row provides a terrific venue for catching up, business, and efficiency, whether it's in person or via their drive through. A series of food items on their menu, along with pastries and ice cream! Coffee, tea, soft drinks. Tables. Hightops.…
The coffee was good, the furniture was overdue for replacement and the "scones" are sugar cookies in disguise. Good place overall to relax and get a little work done.
