Java Joes is a great place to enjoy not only a delicious cup of coffee , but also a wide selection of food and drinks, and even ice creamThey also provide entertainment on weekends. Reasonable prices.

Sandy T.

The coffee , ice cream and snacks are always great. I steer away from their meals, particularly the Indian dishes , as they are made from the ready made packages you can buy at Target for $2

Ricky Sherrill

Conveniently located downtown close to the hotels . Good coffee served by friendly staff & they also serve a sneaky good breakfast .

Jeff Sonnenburg

Best place to meet up with the gang downtown Des Moines, plenty of room, great staff , free wifi and super atmosphere, even kids playroom!

Juice Magazine

Best coffee spot for people watching : http://dmreg.com/q1KYkT It draws an eclectic crowd, and it’s probably the only shop with an Irish jam session and a poetry slam in one week. Read more

Kelsey Jones

Cool atmosphere and great place to hang out if you're not feeling the bar scene on a Friday or Saturday night. Grab a drink, and listen to some live music while you're there!

Evan[Bu]

Forget the mainstream coffee houses , this is where it's at! Java Joes has a great coffeehouse feel to it, and the coffee is stellar! Credit cards are accepted, but minimum $3.00 purchase is required.

Come for the coffee , stay for the games. Java joes is a wonderful place for a date, to study, or hang out with friends.
