The Coffeesmith

770 SE Alice's Rd, Urbandale, IA

★★★★★4.7(375 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This beloved Urbandale fixture has earned its stellar reputation as a genuine community hub where regulars seamlessly transition between solo work sessions, friend meetups, and family time, all while sipping thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks like their standout rosemary brown sugar latte. The combination of consistently excellent traditional and seasonal specialty drinks, those legendary croissant breakfast sandwiches, and a warm, attentive staff creates an inviting atmosphere that keeps people coming back for years. With its distinctive wood tables and balanced vibe—accommodating both quick grabs and lingering conversations—it's the kind of place that becomes part of your routine.

Best coffeehouse around. Been coming here for years. Work, family, friends, solo time. You'll definitely run into a few busy days if you're a regular (where seating is hard to come by) but the fast service, quality and variety of food and drink along with the warm vibes makes for a great experience. They always rotate a timely and varied seasonal menu and have a fun selection of local curios. If they expanded to the space next door, offered a few gluten/dairy-free savory food items, we would probably never go to Starbucks again.

I always look for local shops when traveling and The Coffeesmith did not disappoint. Fantastic, friendly service was my experience. I enjoyed a latte with Rosemary Brown Sugar Syrup and it was light, aromatic, and superb. Next time I am in town, I will need to go back and try the Coke and Cold Brew! Recommend a visit if in Des Moines and if a local, make it a mainstay.

This is my go to place to grab a coffee with a friend or get some work done. Consistently good, and a really solid breakfast sandwich.

We love the Coffeesmith. Very nice seasonal flavors and standard drinks- they’re always consistent. And I’m not kidding when I say the croissant breakfast sandwiches are THE BEST. I don’t know where they get the croissants but they are amazing. And the aioli that’s on them=dreams. 10/10

Delicious coffee, unique wood tables. I love the ambiance here! This is such a fun, unique coffee shop! A good amount of seating to have a conversation, do some work or just sip some espresso! I can’t wait to come back and try some other drinks and goodies!
