Excellent place, and excellent coffee, but this is only the beginning.... Please check it out. Perfectly designed for those that own small businesses, and work from home. A beautiful space with great amenities and an excellent product. Also a great stop if you’re just looking for a good cup of coffee in Ankeny.

Was looking for a coffee shop with coffee flights. This place is a must! My favorite was pistachio mocha. The toast flight was delicious as well. The ability to choose which coffee to request for your coffee and toast flights makes it even better. Will visit again next time I am in Des Moines. The atmosphere is very welcoming. Customer service was outstanding.

If you haven’t been to Ankeny’s hottest new Co-Working space, you have to check it out! Blue Bean really outdid themselves here. They even have a podcast studio! Locally owned and operated. Odds are the owner will hand deliver your latte. My kinda place! 5 Stars for sure.

Such a cool place — they have numerous coffee flights, tea flights, and even toast flights!! The menu is very big and customizable, so you will definitely find something that you like here. Our barista was very kind & knowledgeable, she gave us great recommendations based off things that we typically drink. I got a strawberry rose matcha & it was delicious!! You can tell that the drinks are made with TLC (lol). We will definitely come back for a toast & drink flight in the future.

I normally work from home, but my internet went out so I decided to work from Blue Bean. The atmosphere was great with plenty of space to sit and plug my laptop into a power outlet. The staff was friendly and helpful. I got a coffee flight and a toast flight. They were both great! I will definitely go back. I highly recommend it.

I've been here twice now and have absolutely loved each experience. The baristas are so knowledgeable and always make good suggestions for the coffee/tea flights. I haven't gotten the food here yet but the toast flights look as inviting as the interior space. Will be back for sure!

Second time visiting and yum! This time tried the toast flight and it was so good. The team was short staffed but the one worker there did a great job managing things and getting orders done quickly and efficiently.

Loved the coffee fights! My sister and I tried it out this weekend. The space was a little smaller than we thought it'd be, and we felt service was a little slow. However, everything that came to our table was picture perfect and amazing! The flights of coffee were fun and delicious.
