Barista pouring coffee

More than just a coffee shop.

Ernie's Boondock started with a simple idea: Des Moines deserved a place that felt like home. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso before work or settling in for a craft beer after hours, we've built a space where the coffee is fresh and the welcome is warmer.

Located right on Grand Avenue, we are proud to be part of the local fabric. We source our beans locally and love showcasing the best of Iowa produce and flavor profiles.
