Very good mushroom coffee.
Nice selection of kava, coffee, smoothies, Gelato, lunch, and more. The Gelato flights they were bringing out look fantastic.
I had the mushroom cacao coffee with lions mane mushrooms. You have your choice of 5 different species of mushroom, and the menu explains the benefits. Anyway- delicious.
My sister had a coffee. LOL! She said it was good. Total for both drinks $13 before tip.
Loved all the plants and the fireplace area.
The gal taking orders wasn’t having a great day I don’t think. But that won’t stop me from going again.
In and out door seating available.

I really love the decor and all the plants here, it feels cozy and inviting. I also appreciate that they have healthy options on the menu and clearly care about their ingredients, which you don’t find at just any smoothie place.
In terms of food, this place has been a bit of a hit or miss for me. The first time we stopped by, we had smoothies, and they were delicious, creamy, and not too artificially sweet, yummy but still felt healthy at the same time.
The second time, we tried their coffee and waffles. The latte was good, and I liked their seasonal flavor options. Unfortunately, the gingerbread waffle we tried was practically inedible, wayyyy too spiced, to the point it tasted medicinal. The pomegranate seeds on top, which looked pretty at first, were actually soft and mushy, clearly not fresh.
That said, I’m still willing to come back for another smoothie, because those were really good.

Today our family started a monthly coffee club. Kava was the first place we hit and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! They were very patient with all our questions, food presentation was over the top and of course the drinks were so quaint and Delicious!!! We will for sure be back!

My açaí bowl was great, the matcha was bad and the chai tasted like milky water. The customer service was nonexistent, we came in and said hi to the girl taking our order twice and were met with silence. The drinks are bad the açaí bowls are good hospitality must not be something they train their employees. At least it’s cute on the inside.

I loved the look and feel of this place! Right when you walk in it feels so relaxing and calming. I think it’s because of all the plants they have in there; some on the floor and some hanging from the ceiling. It feels like you’re a part of nature. Kudos to the person who decorated the place. They did an awesome job.
I treated my husband and myself to a couple flights of gelatos. You get four small bowls for $8 and they were also too much for one person. Two people could almost share a flight. They had some dairy and nondairy options. There were 16 different flavors to choose from. I think the coconut milk vanilla flavor was my favorite. My husband really liked the mango sorbet. They also have smoothie bowls, waffles, coffee drinks and other beverages.
There’s an outdoor patio but it’s almost too lovely inside to eat outside. I’m so glad to have found this wonderful and unique place. I think this will be our new favorite dessert spot.

I absolutely love coming here!! It’s given me a chance to run open mic and share my love of music and give so many local artists opportunities too share theirs as well! I love the atmosphere, it’s absolutely beautiful!! Ben is a great employee who I love talking with!! The smoothie bowls are AMAZING!!!

This place is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The choco banana smoothie was very chalky and grainy. Took three sips and tossed it , the the oat milk coconut and strawberry was decent for them to vegan . I have a dairy allergy when my husband asked the girl working cashier if the shake had dairy she said “everything here is vegan “ I’m not sure how true that is because some things were labeled vegan and others had no labels. She was also not what you’d expect customer service wise for such a beautiful cafe, she was on her phone didn’t greet us, had us repeat ourselves like 3 times, and clearly wanted to be elsewhere. Will not be returning or recommending.

Their foods are healthy and delicious. Ordered a paleo waffle with a scoop of ice cream. Waffle alone was soft and very satisfying, when it’s paired with ice cream, it’s heaven and make me full all day. The amaretto with peach cobbler is one of the best ice cream I’ve ever had.
The Apple crisp smoothie bowl is also really good. Nice presentation and tastes good.

Never been to Des Moines, but this was a super cool stop. DELICIOUS high quality food (had the choco banana smoothie and paleo almond waffle with pina colada topping) with a really chill/cool atmosphere/vibe. Don’t come here in a rush, that’s not how they operate!

I’ve had everything here from a mushroom cocoa latté to a smoothie bowl to waffles and their Nourished salads. It’s been a year since I first visited and it still remains one of my favorite places in Des Moines.
