Starbucks - Des Moines

My partner works at Nationwide, so he often visits these Dieucks locations. The staff know him by name, and they have his coffee ready for him as soon as he walks in the door. He loves it! In my experience, I've visited many Dieucks across the country, and I have to say that this is one of the best. I do wish they had a drive-thru or more parking space, but their location makes that difficult. It's just something we have to deal with.

This review is long overdue. As a barista myself, I’ve spent the last two years visiting this café, both during my time at Drake and now at my "grown-up" job. The absence of a drive-thru makes this place feel more like a genuine coffee shop compared to other Starbucks locations. The baristas here consistently strive to connect with customers and always prepare drinks that meet high standards. Every interaction I've had, whether in the morning or evening, has been pleasant and showcased their expertise. They go above and beyond to create wonderful customer experiences while serving delicious drinks. They are a fantastic team, and I can't express enough gratitude for their service. I just wish I could tip them more generously!

The staff is friendly, the lines move quickly, and my order is always correct on the first try.

Staff was quick and friendly and had order ready within seconds and it was absolutely delicious!

I"m a downtown resident and been going to this Starbucks for years. After traveling around quite a bit including the original Bux, I can say this is probably the best group of associates they are always accommodating and really nice and it doesn't matter if they are new or long time baristas. Never had a bad experience. Their manager is also stellar. Keep up the good work and the good drinks.
