"Holy cow! Where has this place been all my life?! Tons of delicious desserts in a little shop that feels like stepping into a true Belgian candy store. I love this place!"

"Public transit gets a bum rap in DSM sometimes, but DART Central and Route 60 have both been huge improvements. The station is modern, clean and efficient. It's made me ride DART more often."

"Dewey is one of the best people you'll ever meet. The atmosphere is a classic barbershop within a historic hotel and the haircuts are only $15!"

"If it's possible to form an emotional relationship with coffee, Friedrich's makes that happen. Best coffee in Des Moines. (Plus the line is usually shorter than the 801 location.)"

"Not only the best coffee in Des Moines, but the best coffee in the entire world. The baristas are knowledgeable and take pride in their art. Because that's what it is. Locally roasted, delicious art."

"One of the best kept secrets Downtown. The food is excellent, they have a great selection of local beer and wine and the atmosphere is upscale and modern."
