What User dislikes about Mars Sidebar:
While their coffee is really good especially the Sputnik, the service is not good. I have been to this location a few times and the service is so slow. I am all for creating my drink with love , but waiting 10 minutes for a drink to be made when you are the only person in line is daunting. The few times I have gone down there to order and the employee working is not helpful, lacks a friendly smile and simply doesn 't... View all feedback.
Hard to find! Directions sent me to the wrong side of the building. Entrance is on on the corner of 5th St Walnut St.
This is a wonderful spot to grab a morning pick-me-up. The staff is relatively small, so the wait for your drink can occasionally be longer than at Starbucks, especially during peak times. However, the quality of the drinks makes the wait worth it!

The seating is comfortable, and its location is convenient right in front of the Skywalks for those working downtown. It's also a great spot to grab coffee during the farmer's market, especially if you want to avoid the crowds and chaos of Java Joe’s. In my experience, their espresso is also much better.
Tasty coffee and food close to the convention center. The struggle finding it is worth it once you find it, you’ll remember it though as another reviewer helpfully notes, it’s in the Capital Square building and its entrance is closer to 5th and Walnut, rather than Locust, though you can get to it from the 5th and Locust entrance.
In my opinion, Mars has the best coffee in downtown Des Moines. The Mars Blend is my way for a simple cup of coffee. The Sputnik or Honey Lavendar-Latte are my favorites when I am in the mood for something spunky.
