If i ever stayed @ Adventure land you can be sure i would be coming here to get everyone fed! The building looks like they started out as a pizza hut and highly modified it. The interior is super bright and welcoming. On our stop here clear from Indy in one shot this was a very comfortable restaurant to unwind in. I will probably make it a regualr stop on my trips.

The pancake tho I have to say was good.. soft and fluffy.... If ever back in town I might stop by for the pancakes..

What a cute little Mexican breakfast/lunch cafe! I've been here twice and both times were great!…read moreThey have a large variety of authentic Mexican breakfast/lunch dishes and some classic brunch options too. I got their maple latte and their chilaquiles, and my husband got the huevos rancheros and the tres leches cake. Everything was delicious and made fresh. They definitely know what they are doing and are a popular spot for a reason. Definitely check them out if you are in the area!

There's no WiFi, so it's not work/study friendly but if you want a nice warm breakfast I'd give it a try.

The coffee cake is HUGE but delicious. Plan on sharing it or bringing some home. The honey bee latte (hot) was flavorful without being too sweet. I tried their signature salsa verde pork and eggs and it was every bit as good as described. Lots of fresh ingredients and SO flavorful! Hands down, HomeGrown is a must if you're in Des Moines.

HomeGrown Hit the Spot…read more We stopped at HomeGrown for brunch after a Friday morning ER visit, and it ended up being a really nice way to reset the day. I had the Salsa Verde Pork & Egg with a pancake on the side, and Kim had the seasonal Limoncello French Toast. We both had caramel lattes, and everything was excellent. The place was moderately busy, but service was friendly and excellent. It has a bright, cheerful feel inside, and the outdoor seating looked really inviting too -- I just wasn't dressed for hot weather that morning. Prices felt reasonable for the quality, and the menu has a fun mix of breakfast and lunch options with seasonal specials thrown in. Good food, good lattes, great service, and a really nice atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

I get that if you're short staffed, but having to then give out a phone number to be texted seemed like overkill. And they made the 80 year old after us do the same thing, I got the byo omelet. It was tough and over cooked. I like mine on the slightly browned country style more than a runny French style, but it was bordering burnt. My partner had even worse experience with the farmers omelet cause of the gravy tasting just bad with a glue like texture. The breakfast potatoes had a great seasoning, but were both wet and burnt. On the plus side, the coffee was fantastic. And our server was good.

Absolutely loved this place!…read more The vibe is welcoming and has that hometown feel as soon as you walk in. Greeted with a smile and sat promptly! My server was Sue, and she was very good, and very attentive - always had my coffee warmed up when needed and had some good recommendations on what to eat. The food itself was really good. I had the avocado toast, which comes with a basted egg and avocado cream drizzle on top, and your choice or meat (if any) and I chose the brisket! I learned from a local sitting next to my friend and I that they get the brisket from a local bbq joint, which I thought was pretty cool. Good coffee, good vibes, good service! Would come here again if my travels blow me back into town!

As has been the case on each of our visits, the food and atmosphere were off the charts. The service wasn't quite as prompt this morning as what I've become accustomed to, but the experience was still great. Best of all...I saw that they now have a daily Happy ("Flocktail") Hour everyday before they close - and it is a 50% Off special - so now I can add them to HappyHourDesMoines.com also!! Today, my wife ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and a Bloody Mary (see pictures) - and with all of the new items on the menu, our friend ordered the Smoked Corn Beef Hash (see picture) and I went with the Healthy Hatch Tacos (see picture). I swapped one of my tacos with our friend for 1/2 of his hash, sampled my wife's Chicken Fried Steak - and can assure you that you will NOT go wrong ordering any of them, as all were absolutely delicious!
