Fantastic coffee, frappes, smoothies, scones and atmosphere! Our favorite coffee shop in all of Iowa! Drive-thru or dine-in with lots of space and a private community room available for reservation. Clean restrooms and free Wi-Fi.
The selection and atmosphere are great and the staff is always helpful and friendly. Love the seasonal drinks as well as their regular signature drinks. The Pleasantville and Curious Chai are two of my favorites.

This place is amazing!!! And I don’t say that lightly! Highly recommend. The drinks were fantastic and the service was even better. There was an extremely helpful and polite barista taking orders- I wish I knew his name to give him recognition. The shop was clean, had good vibes, and there was even well-priced merch. My daughter accidentally spilled my …
The Trading Grounds Coffee Shop had a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The staff was friendly and patient when I was deciding on an order. I found the Caramel Apple Cider to be pretty good. Sweet but not overly so. And it was prepared in a decent amount of time. I’m not sure what their coffee specials are like but I …
Grabbed a quick spiced dirty chai latte and the grand daughter had a cake pop. There were quite a few people there on their lap tops and just conversing. The staff seemed to know the patrons and everyone was cheery. My latte was amazing and the grand loved the cake pop!
