It’s a jazzy little function. Great place for breakfast, or to study. They play jazz music and it isn’t noisy in there. I come here for their roasted coffee beans. They also offer almond milk, coconut milk, and soy milk. They roast their own beans in their shop and you could smell it from the moment you enter. I highly recommend this cute breakfast and coffee joint.

Didn’t know until recently that Cafe Diem offered such great breakfast! Very large portions and exceptional taste. The cinnamon roll pancakes were fluffy and the whip cream has to be the real deal cause it’s texture and flavor is top notch. Food was ready quickly and served perfectly to order. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice cozy cafe I enjoyed my latte and my wife was really happy they still had pumpkin spice latte! The breakfast burrito was really good and the hash browns were cooked perfectly. Definitely a good stop for breakfast/brunch!

The coffee here is decent. Food is okay. The real winner for me is the Chai, which the owner told me years ago that they mix their own spices for that. It’s a very calming atmosphere even though it can get somewhat noisy at times. Not my go-to for breakfast but a nice place to stop for a hot drink.

So good! A nice place to do some studying/work and the food was great! The employees also gave good honest recommendations of dishes as well as how much to get. Definitely adding to my list of places to recommend.

Enjoyed a medium roast cup of coffee. Good flavor. Also had the croissant sausage egg and cheese. Very good. Decent amount of seating. Plugs are a precious commodity so you may struggle plugging in if you can’t find those spots. Staff were friendly and offered suggestions which I do appreciate. A member in our party got the cinnamon roll pancakes and those were a rival to anything at a breakfast chain. Large portion and looked delicious but very sweet!

The pancakes are delicious and a decent coffee selection. Everytime I’ve been in the girls have always been really sweet. Definitely has that nice cafe feeling to it if you want to sit down, relax and have some breakfast.

I loved it here!!! First, the sign outside is the cutest. Staff is super friendly, the owner is helpful when it comes to ordering, and they make sure you’re satisfied with your food/drinks also the bourbon caramel cold brew❤️ I’ll probably stop back here every time I’m in Ankeny

Great food BUT…comes with a 40 minute wait for food…not good. Watched dozens of people leave after they waited in line and were told at the register about the wait. Syrup is like water. The 75 cent coffee refills? Ridiculous! You have to wait in line again to get a refill. Just charge 50 cents more for the coffee to make up the cost of refills! No one will complain and you’ll probably make more money in the end. Fix these things and you’ll get five stars from me.
