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!

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 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.

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. We arrived right at opening, so there weren't a lot of people there yet and had the server come by once the whole time we were there. I give this a 3/5, not bad.

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!

This is the first time that my eggs Benedict was over cooked. The eggs were hard which was a little of a bummer. I will communicate a little better next time to make sure that doesn't happen in the future. Not much to change on my previous reviews. I do miss the flavored coffee they used to have.
