Friedrichs Coffee
4632 NW 86th St, Altoona, IA
Crema's Take
“Friedrichs Coffee welcomes you into a genuinely comfortable space anchored by a cozy fireplace and thoughtful seating both indoors and out, where the espresso is consistently well-calibrated and the matcha rivals specialty tea shops. The staff's warmth shines through most visits, though consistency with custom orders like cold brew preparation could use some refinement, and while the pastry selection leans traditional rather than health-focused, their house-made options like cranberry orange pound cake pair beautifully with their thoughtfully sourced beans you can take home.”

The staff are so nice, but I just wish they would hire an adult who actually enjoys the flavor of coffee. I’ve tried multiple times to explain that I don’t want a ton of cream added to my cold brew. No matter how many different ways that I try to say it, I still get a drink that’s more cream than cold brew. So gross. Would be such a great place if you could actually taste the coffee.
I just wish they can have more healthy pastries but they surely have good drinks and it is nice place to work in your laptop, or come with a friend to chat Matcha taste as good quality matcha! Love porcelain cups make sure to ask so they don’t give it to you in recycle cup .
Great coffee! Open and inviting seating area. Food section is only pastries (we had the cranberry orange pound cake - it was good!) The coffee was great. You can also buy beans here.
Beautiful cafe! It feels so comfortable in here! Plenty of seats indoor and there’s a fireplace!! There’s also seating outdoor for customers to enjoy beautiful sunny day while drinking coffee. The staffs are super friendly and cheerful ! They offer variety of coffee beans flavors and loose tea flavors! I personally love their caramel frappe!! Do download their app to collect rewards for free drinks ;) There’s plenty is parking space right in front of the cafe too ! Plus, they offer drive thru where you can just place an order and pick them up real quick. Definitely would recommend Friedrichs Coffee !!
Well calibrated espresso shots. Upgraded air filtration system. I visited three times over the past few months. Twice I received good customer service, once I received poor customer service. But the coffee really is excellent.
