First time ever in Des Moines and we stopped by this coffee shop that is very unassuming. Came in when no one was there but was soon greeted by someone from the back who was so welcoming and having conversation while preparing our drinks. Realized we came as they were preparing for a festival and that's why they were so busy. First time ever having a creme brulee style cold brew as well as their creme brulee soft serve ice creams. They also made onigiri in-house packaged the same way as you would see in Japan!! All very delicious. Gabriel, you're the man and I look forward to coming back again when I visit Iowa!

Loved this place. All drinks are home made. I tried the Panda Mocha with raspberry and it was amazing. They brulee their whipped cream and it's the best thing ever with the frappe. It's our new favorite coffee spot in town. The owners are very friendly and helpful with showing their menu and options. They use local coffee and tea for most all their drinks. Highly recommend for all coffee and tea lovers.

AMAZING!!! Coffee choices are delicious and unique. The owners collaborated Asian and classic European flavors in their lattes to make for some mouth watering flavors! I got the salted orange caramel Asian brûlée coffee and it was perfect! Not too sweet, very well balanced so you really taste the espresso as well ?the pastries were melt in your mouth fantastic! We got the cinnamon roll with lemon curd on top as well as a GF almond, orange pound cake. VERY GOOD! 10/10 recommend!

Great customer service! Not your average coffee shop - unique, homemade flavors along with owners that go out of their way to make each drink special.We have also had two of their special order Strawberries Bomb Layer Cakes. Perfect both times. Perfect for family celebrations. We forgot to take pictures because everyone gets too excited to dive in.

We have been wanting to try Bean and Leaf for a while and it did not disappoint. Me, my husband, and 3 small children arrived with no idea what we wanted but knew we were looking for something sweet. The owner was so patient and made great recommendations. Hubby got a Reeces caramel shake that he said is one of the best he’s ever had, we also ordered a mango frappe bubble tea- yum!, a bananas foster coffee and a basic chocolate fudge sundae. All delicious. We will be back!

Support small businesses!!!!! They have a variety of different drinks and coffees hot or cold. I had the americano Vietnamese latte and it was really good not too sweet at all just the right amount. They do offer a place to sit and play games they have different board games you can enjoy while enjoying your coffee. Give them a try guys

A bit of a hidden gem, I've driven past many times but never knew this cafe was here until just recently. Got a few different items and they were all really good. They make really good coffee based drinks and their ice cream mixes are fantastic. The onigiri is also delicious and as far as I know, the only place around that serves them!

Will come back again! this place makes you feel welcome and the drinks are out of this world! and it has a great variety of drinks,pastries and snacksAnd friendly staff with great recommendations to help you out if you're not sure what you want ?
This is the second time my husband and I have been to the Bean and leaf Café. Amazing customer service both times. They go above and beyond to make sure your order is amazing and will even give you extra toppings sometimes. The staff are super friendly. The owners are so nice and friendly! We will continue to keep going back as we love their ice cream and their service. The ice cream is awesome and the crème brûlée topping puts it over the top.

An absolutely surprisingly delicious cafe! Looking at the outside and inside it wasn’t impressive, mostly because they’re currently under renovation but the menu… wow! Every drink sounded delicious. We tried one that was a combo of coffee+brûlée+ice cream. Sooooo good! And another one that was boba+tea+frappe+brûlée. These combos are incredible and I would have never thought to mix all these things together but it works. I definitely recommend trying the drinks.

We wanted to try a new coffee shop and Bean and Leaf did not disappoint! We were complete newbies and had no clue what to get - the owner was incredibly helpful and seemed to really care about our experience there! He recommend we try out the bananas foster frappe brûlée and the dirty chai frappe brûlée - both were amazing and like nothing we've ever tried before!! This place is most definitely worth a try not only for the unique and tasty drinks but also for how kind and genuine the people are! Not only that, it feels great to support local small business, no reason to go to Starbucks when there's great places like this!! Couldn't recommend enough!

We stumbled upon this place while searching for new coffee places to try around the Des Moines area, and we are so glad we did. From the array of special drinks unlike any place around town, to the amazing workers, I cannot recommend this place enough.
