"The flavor combos are wild and they work beautifully. Our lattes were the perfect temp. If we lived here, this would be our constant jam. Nice work!"

"I tried the Lavender Thyme Iced Latte and loved the twist. It was shaken and strained, so no ice watered it down. Smooth espresso (not burned, great roast) with lavender and thyme balanced perfectly. Plenty of seating even though it was busy, and the to-go jar was a fun touch. Prices felt very reasonable coming from the Twin Cities. We had kids with us; not exactly “kid friendly,” but no issue bringing them. Overall, creative drinks, solid coffee, and a great stop."

"This place is amazing. I had one of the best lattes ever. Lemon poppy seed latte with almond milk. I chose the hot version and was very happy. They have amazing vegan and gluten free treats too. The oatmeal cream pie is out of this world. And the scotcharoo was great too!"

"Hands down love HLC! Everything about it screams upscale, boutique coffee shop….until you talk to them and realize that they’re all of that PLUS top level service, amazing character, and efficient at everything they do. If you’re in DSM, add HLC to your list of must experience locations!! #CheersFromDesMoines - Ben Schuh, artist"

"Coffee was incredible, service was fantastic and the cafe was so beautiful to experience. We bought two cappuccinos to have in house and they were a perfect cup of coffee. We ended up getting a t-shirt for $25 which was quite a decent price for merchandise and two to-go drip coffees which they serve in glass reusable containers with cute cozies to keep them warm. Would happily recommend a visit to anyone visiting or driving through like we were!"
