    Sunrise juice
    Amanda A.

    When we arrived we were told it would be a 25 min wait which was ok for a weekend but after only 2 minutes we were texted that our table was ready. The waitress was great quick at getting our order and even apologized that my juice was taking a few extra minutes which I appreciated. She brought our coffee cake pretty quick and it was amazing. With a nice sauce, it was even served warm so delicious. My eggs Benedict was great with turkey and avocado. My husband got the all meat omelet and loved it as well. The ambiance was a little loud but cozy at the same time. And the bathrooms were very nice with cute country decor. We loved it, and prices were pretty reasonable we will be back for sure.

    I love the local menu. The atmosphere was really nice and they have outdoor seating. Also love that they have a waitlist feature online. My service has always been good.

    Gluten free menu
    Desiree A.

    Walked in and the place was packed. Was told it would be an hour wait, but I do not think we were even waiting 10 minutes before we were sat down. This restaurant is in the old Crescent Chevrolet building as someone who spent a lot of time here as a kid it was really cool to see what changes have been made. The menu is a lot. Trying to understand how to read the gluten free/vegan menu was slightly disconcerting as well. Also if you cannot eat oats as someone needing to be gluten free do NOT order the gluten free bread. As someone who is also allergic to oats like about 50% of the gluten free community this greatly disappointed me because it majorly cut down on what I could eat off the menu. The sunrise juice was made mostly with carrots. I could barely taste the pineapple or apple. I could not taste the ginger at all. My mom ordered the salsa Verde pork & egg which I will be ordering next time. That was so flavorful and delicious. The gluten free friendly short stack comes with 3 pancakes. And tasted a bit of flour but were very tasty. And I ordered gimme the meats omelet without gravy, cheese, or English muffin. The roasted rosemary potatoes were a little overcooked as well.

    Food is great, haven't had any complaints with their menu so far! Service is also pretty fast and friendly. Always-always check in on the app. Weekend brunch is always busy but the app saves a lot of the hassle when trying to get in. I love that they alternate some specials with what's in season however their main menu stays the same. One of my favorite items on their main menu is definitely the west coast omelette!

    Service was great, our waitress was so kind and very attentive. The food was excellent and nice presentation.The menu also has fun seasonal items. Definitely a great place. Check it out if you are in the area.

    Pumpkin Pie Latte

    Wow! I love this sweet spot! Before our road trip back to Chicago, we stopped for an early breakfast. It was so much better than we could have imagined. Located in a small business complex. We walked in to a bright and cheerful room that was so lovely. Kindness messages were all around. Our server was so pleasant and sweet. She was patient and helpful. The menu is so diverse and interesting. I wanted something sweet so I chose the croissant French toast. My friend enjoyed a savory Mexican dish. The were both delicious. The orange juice was fresh squeezed, the latte was tasty and my simple black coffee was rich and balanced perfectly. I wish I lived in Des Moines so I could become a regular at this wonderful restaurant that serves fresh food with kindness.

    Veggie scramble with potatoes
    Kirk J.

    Great food, bright clean setting. My pork and chili verde had just a little heat but not too much. The rosemary potatoes were diced and tender. Girlfriend had the veggie scramble with a massive buttered English muffin and rosemary potatoes. Filling and very tasty. Really pleasant place. We sat at the bar and the service was a little slow but still a great meal.

    Stop in for some delicious hot and authentic food. When I. The city it is not a bad choice. Food was good and service was great.

    Such a cozy place to go on a rainy day with family for breakfast! They have plenty of parking, both in front and in the back of the building. Highly recommend to join the Yelp waitlist prior to arriving! On the weekends, the wait can average around 25-45 minutes. The food was great. The tomato soup was soo good! I also got the lemon curd pancakes, which were very lemony, but they didn't provide a side of lemon syrup, which was a bummer. I will say that it was pretty loud. It was difficult to hear what the waitress was saying, as well as our own conversations. Overall, I would definitely visit again!

    Yummy breakfast experience, great service, zero complaints! I had the Eggs Benedict. Servings are very generous. Establishment is clean. If I was a local this would be a go-to. My two companions ordered off the 55 plus menu which had quite a few options as well. Only noticeable difference was smaller size and price.

    Tomato soup
    Laura C.

    Highly recommend this place! Was in town visiting family and was recommended to come here! It truly was so good and I would come back when I'm in town next! It was a little busy but the staff didn't make it feel crazy, they slowed down and answered all questions. It's a cute place with fun decoration, also good spots for larger groups. The food was very good! Everyone loved what they got! I got their tomato soup and probably one of the best I have had!

    Incredible place from start to finish! Came here on a busy Sunday morning and waited for about 10 minutes to get a table. Food was unique and delicious, especially their renowned sweet potato pancakes. I had low expectations and they were some of the best pancakes I've ever had. The server was incredibly kind and helpful, we never felt rushed and were always taken care of. The decorations remind you of a bee hive and is fresh and light and fun. Would be back if I'm ever in town!

    Jon's Denver Omelet with breakfast potatoes and subbed the English muffin for a Red Velvet Pancake.

    Service here was wonderful and as always food was great. Red velvet pancake was a nice seasonal sub. Easily our favorite brunch spot in the Des Moines area.

    They have a join waitlist option on their website. We joined it from home and it was a 35 min wait. We had a 20 min drive and checked in when we got there. We only had to wait 15 more mins.

    Was looking for a new spot to try out coffee and I went on here of course to see which place to…read morepick from. I saw great reviews about how amazing the coffee and honey is here. Needless to say this spot deserves all its flowers because the coffee is phenomenal. I was greeted instantly by the people behind the counter. They were friendly and it was full of people who were also super friendly. It is a small cozy space with tons of other drinks and cool products to pick from. I had a hot pistachio honey oat latte and I savored it for a few hours because it was really that good. The coffee had a fruity and nutty taste that made my taste buds so happy. The pistachio and honey mix was the perfect combination. Can't wait to go back to try more!

    The barista is a pretentious prick. Won't give you their undivided attention while taking your…read moreorder because he isn't finished making the prior customers order and then screws up the order. He then tries to claim that a flat white is the same thing as a cappuccino whilst making an insulting comment towards Australians. I should have went to vibrant coffee around the corner. And to my guy here: when someone orders two different drinks, don't make the same drink and try to play it off like your some superior barista; your job is to serve coffee as it's ordered, that's it. All I wanted was to enjoy a morning coffee but instead had to deal with some asshole with a complex.
