On the other side of this wonderfully drawn window by , our quaint little shop holds the scent of freshly brewed coffee and made to order gf egg sandwiches ever so deliciously.
Oftentimes you’ll also catch the whiff of a house-made syrup. This morning, it’s fresh batches of toasted coconut syrup (the 4th small batch in under two weeks) and cardamom syrup. Yum! See you soon.

Attn: DESPENARY Family

The owner of the DESPENSARY has decided to permanently close its doors, Thursday, March 12th. As many of you are aware, the Iowa Cannabis Community has suffered greatly over the years and making the decision to close was not an easy one. Although the doors are closing, that does not mean the team that ran it is giving up the fight, it’s just going to look a little different going forward, so please stay tuned.

With all of that said from now until March 12th, we will be running a store wide sale. So, we invite you to stop by stock up and say farewell.

It has been our honor to serve all of you!

Sabrina, Quinn, Connor and Nate

– Your DESPENSARY Team. –

💚 THANK YOU, ZENKO FAMILY 💚

We are beyond grateful (and honestly, still a little shocked) to share that Zenko Tea has been voted “The Best Boba in Town” by Cityview 🏆

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you to everyone who voted for us, sent us kind messages, and celebrated this moment with us. We truly feel so lucky to receive this much love and support from the community.

A special thank you to Aom for the warm congratulations and continued support 🤍 It truly means a lot to us.

We hope that together, we can continue to bring boba, culture, and inspiration to even more people — one cup at a time.

And a small behind-the-scenes note 💭
We’re also preparing a small thank-you gift for all Zenko employees, because this win belongs to them just as much as it belongs to us.

Thank you for believing in Zenko Tea and growing with us. We couldn’t do this without you.

— With love,
Zenko Tea
