Front Door
Jon K.

This place is worth a visit. The chiliaquiles set me back $20, but was very filling and pretty tasty. Not my all time favorite, but definitely satisfying. I'll probably pick a cheaper option next time. Coffee was good, servers were pleasant, and the overall ambiance was simple but good.

Dulce De Leche Crepe

Been wanting to try this place forever! Order before you sit down. Very reasonably priced menu. Amazing service, super friendly staff. Constant line, almost out the door so you know that's a good sign! We ordered the breakfast burrito which was sooo fresh, hot, & delicious. The crepes were just okay as they would've been better filled but still not bad! The fruit was very fresh. The hot sauce for the burrito was so good. Very cute diner feels in there. Busy & quick service! We will definitely be back & I recommend adding this to your places to try around Des Moines.

Huevos con Chorizo

A hidden gem for brunch! I cannot believe I haven't visited this place sooner. The location is pretty small, but very clean. And plenty of parking out front. Service is friendly. You have to go up to the front to order and pay first, they have menus on the counter if you need to browse before going in line. Food was very tasty! The huevos con chorizo was my favorite with the corn tortillas on the side. They also have bakery items at the front counter so I'll have to try those next time!

Always amazing. Husband got his Texas ribeye brunch with extra beans and no rice. The beans have an amazing flavor with a kick, a slight kick. Steak is tender. This time I got the Cuban. Holy smokes, the best around. Not only was it the most tender pork ever, but it wasn't dry. Not even close. I have no clue their secret. Bread was amazing and the ham and the cheese and pickle all blended great. My husband said he's getting it next time. You order at the register and seat yourself, but they do bring the food to you at the table. There's usually enough seating, but it can be busy. Another day where we just missed the rush thank goodness. Just a good vibe all around while you eat and it smells so good. Simple decor. Can't wait to go yet again.

Did not get the egg with the huevos rancheros, I wish there was more rice and beans instead of sauce. The tortillas were great, I should have asked if I could have added potatoes to the dish. They were so nice and answered our questions. Love how you pay before hand. Vanilla latte was so good!!

Good food!!

Tried Cafe con Leche at 2905 Hubbell today and it was absolutely delicious. Servers and workers were helpful and nice. Food came out quick. You order at the counter and then sit and wait for the food to be brought out to you. Texas Brunch: Ribeye, Eggs, Beans, Rice and Toast. So, so flavorful and delicious! Would def get again. The rice and beans alone were flavorful and good! Strawberry Nutella Crepes: kids loved this, we added ice cream on top Dulce De Leche Pancakes: Kids loved this as well. We added Strawberries and Bananas All-in-all, we would def come again if we were out this way. Hours are 8am-3pm. They serve breakfast, lunch and different coffees, lattes, shakes, etc...

Chilaquiles with pork
Dee W.

Yes! This was fantastic. Husband had the Diego and enjoyed the pancakes. I had the chilaquiles and loved them! Everything has great and distinct flavor including the coffee! It wasn't just trucker coffee. We will be back and maybe next Sunday!

Cute place!

Wow! Awesome brunch! Clean & cute! Hubby had a rice bowl with carnitas & it was huge! He loved it. Nice amount of meat with beans & rice & onions. Great presentation. I had chilaquiles--corn tortilla pieces with rice & an egg. I had it verde but I'm sure red sauce would be tasty as well. I did add some salsa. Filling! Two eggs would be a nice option. I couldn't pass on the Abuelita hot chocolate shake! Mmmmm... not just a regular shake but with ice in it, besides a lot of chocolate. Very pretty as well as extremely tasty!! The waitres was happy & helpful. Go there! Crepes are next on my list.

Right as you walk in, you're greeted by a wall of epic mullet photos. We're talking glorious, vintage, feathered masterpieces--like a shrine to the greatest hairstyle in history. It's weird, it's wonderful, and it sets the tone for the rest of your experience. Now let's talk food. I had the avocado toast flight, and let me just say--it's not your average avo toast. Fresh, flavorful, creative toppings--each one better than the last. My friend got the chicken and waffles, and it was everything you want: crispy, fluffy, sweet, savory, and totally addictive. Top it all off with riverfront views, a breezy patio, cold drinks, and some of the friendliest service around, and you've got a place that's just begging to become your new favorite brunch spot. Mullets is fun, quirky, and seriously tasty. Come for the laughs, stay for the food, and leave already planning your return trip.

Ran a napkin across table and I'm still grossed out. Avocado toast flight was cold. Like out of the refrigerator cold. One part had an egg, it was the only thing luke warm. I have never had chilled hollandaise before. Their bacon is awesome, but couldn't save the day. Drinks were, ok. Staff were nice and on point.

We started with a delicious Tupelo Margarita and a dark lager beer, from their good selection of tap beers. For our dinner, my wife ordered the Tupelo Shrimp & Grits (see picture) and I opted for the Smothered Chicken with cream corn and green beans (see picture) for sides. As we've come to expect from our visits to Tupelo Honey, both main dishes as well as the sides were delicious - chicken was crispy and juicy and both the Shrimp & Grits and cream corn were buttery and creamy.

Side of Mac & cheese and grits. Both sides were cold when they arrived in front of me and both were quite bland. Although the server was kind, I felt a bit ignored- after food arrived, I was only checked on once and then the check. When I arrived, I sat next to a filthy table that was empty when I arrived. It wasn't cleaned at all for the duration of my almost hour visit which made me not enjoy the environment as much. There were also 7 other tables that were dirty around me and have all been empty since arrival - I've attached photo. Music was nice, corporate people dining here, moderate pricing. Honestly came here because the reviews looks great and although the food looks great, could just use a bit more seasoning. Probably won't come back here, unfortunately. For the price, I can find other areas that excel in the areas noted above.
