The owners of Amici Espresso have stayed true to the coffee shop's Italian roots by visiting Italy and researching different coffee drinks. They have perfected the caramel macchiato, a favorite of Amici Espresso's regular customers. This java joint attracts both the downtown business set and students, as it is sandwiched between Des Moines University and Drake. Weekends bring families and the farmer's market crowd. For a simple yet flavorful meal, try one of Amici's 15 kinds of soup, including chicken florentine and artichoke, broccoli and cheese, and chicken and wild rice. Looking for a non-caffeinated beverage? Amici's offers hot chocolate and Italian sodas, which are scrumptious concoctions of flavored milk.
