I know this isn't a restaurant but it's food-related. I just found out about this new Asian grocery…read morestore and I'm in love with it. They've been open for eight months and they sell SO MANY different things. If you love Asian grocery stores, you're sure to love this place. First of all, the store is very clean and well-organized. There is so much to look at. There are many kinds of sweet treats and candies. I almost screamed when I saw the banana and green tea Kit Kats. I'm crazy about the green tea ones. I found them once at C Fresh Market but haven't seen them there again. I know World Market has them but they're so expensive there. My husband bought the banana Kit Kats and I think I love them more than the green tea ones. Second, the prices are very reasonable for stuff that's from Asia. I know the owners must be paying a fortune for the tariffs, so I'm grateful for the good prices. Speaking of the prices, I LOVE that they have most of their items priced. There's nothing I hate more than finding things that I want to buy in a store and not knowing what the price is. They also have a scanner at the counter for you to scan an item if it isn't priced. Third, the owner is nice and helpful if you have a question about something. I like C Fresh Market but I can never find anyone to help me when I'm looking for something. And if I do happen to find someone, they don't speak English. This store is smaller than C Fresh but it still has rows and rows of goodies to look at. I originally went there to find the viral fruit-shaped ice cream, but it cost a lot more than I was willing to pay. So I left with other treats instead. They also have a lot of different types of noodles and many varieties of ramen. They have a drinks aisle with the typical drinks most Asian grocery stores have. There is also produce and several different aisles of frozen foods as well. I'm so happy I found this place.

This place is pretty new, I found out about it on TikTok and finally got around to visiting! From…read moremy first impressions it looked very clean on the inside. They also have lots of freezer items, snacks and instant ramen options. The layout is very open so it feels bright and easy to navigate. I think more signs would be helpful but the place isn't huge so walking around is okay. Staff have been friendly and checking out at the cashier has always been smooth. They have good parking up front. Driving here might be the biggest obstacle because the intersection it's on is pretty busy!

I picked up some cucumbers, zucchini, and ripe plantains this trip, but they also had lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, onions, limes, bananas, mangoes, potatoes, and more! The cashier here was very nice and helpful too. Will definitely be back soon for more plantains and to try the mangoes when they're in stock :)

Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed with my experience just because it lasts a fair amount of items that I was hoping to find. The staff here was very friendly and I did like their selection of alcohol too. They didn't have too much of a crab and go selection either though they didn't have a nice little Bakery with some great vegan options. A decent selection of fresh produce. Easy access to the streets and Highway nearby which was the primary reason I came by too. Prices is here were a little Sky High too. Thankfully it's nice and peaceful if you come here in the morning

Love this market! So many good health finds and vegan products…read more What I really come here for is this vegan fried chickn sandwich. I'm giving 5 stars because I really hope they make it a permanent menu item. There is nowhere else in town to get a good vegan chickn sandwich. However it is a little dry/bland. They only put vegan mayo on one side of the bun, idk about you guys but no bun should be without sauce/mayo. Next time I ordered it tossed in buffalo and got the vegan thousand island for my fries and it was 10/10. The staff is always very kind!

I love C Fresh Market and everything it has to offer!…read more Being back in Iowa after living in a big city for the last 25 years has been a bit of a shock to my system, but having spots like this definitely helps fill the food void I feel on a daily basis. Whether you're grabbing some hard-to-find Asian and Hispanic spices, groceries, and goodies, or hitting the delicious pho spot inside, you're gonna be leaving happy. It's clean, well-stocked, and gives me those big-city market vibes I'm always looking for. I'd also suggest grabbing a bánh mì, ready-made and good to go, on your way out the door. Enjoy!

Very large with actual produce alongside of a variety of local food vendors and local businesses and crafts. Love those that give samples--that does inspire me to buy! Dog friendly. Didn't feel crowded even though there were a lot of people there because of the ideal weather this weekend. Many musicians along the way, including some focused on children. Only regret? They were out of the market tee in XL and they don't seem to have merch on their web site. (They were a great design and quality. Same for the staff version.

I went in searching for frozen empanada dough, and Aji Amarillo. The former was easy enough to find (thank you, Goya), but even my Peruvian American friend from Chicago warned me that it's hard to find the Hot Yellow Peppers, critical to the Aji de Gallina dish from her native country that I wanted to make. And sure enough, I couldn't find it after walking all through the store! La Tapatia staff to the rescue: Through a mix of English, Spanish, and pointing-to-pictures-on-my-phone -- the staff made it a mission to help me find the Aji Amarillo. Turns out, La Tapatia had it in paste, in brine, and frozen! Can't wait to come back!

If you are familiar with the Des Moines metro the Graziano Bros name should be one you already know. Established in 1912 they are a fixture here when it comes to Italian sausage. The ordering process was smooth and the menu was displayed well. The wait wasn't long. I ordered the fried ravioli (beef filled) with marinara and an Italian Chop sandwich. The Italian Chop is almost exactly what it sounds like. It's served cold. Chopped mortadella, pepperoni, capicola, salami, provolone, tomato, onion, pepper rings, and lettuce. Tossed in a creamy Italian dressing. Served on a hoagie roll. The ravoli was served terrifyingly hot. Lol It's a bold tangy marinara. The sandwich is perfect for what it is. Service was excellent for a truck and typical of when there's a line. Busy. Not much time to small talk. I'll definitely be watching our food vendor schedule and trying out more items from the Graziano Bros. Sausage Mobile food trailer. https://www.facebook.com/p/Graziano-Bros-Sausage-Mobile-61572883362883/
