HomeGrown - West Des Moines

Crema's Take
“HomeGrown is a beloved brunch destination in West Des Moines that transforms a simple coffee stop into a full culinary experience, with Instagram-worthy dishes like cherry pistachio French toast and avocado toast that taste as thoughtful as they look. The space itself feels intentionally designed to linger in—part cozy neighborhood gathering spot, part refined brunch hall—with a breakfast bar, booths, and outdoor seating that invites you to stay awhile, and the genuinely kind service makes you feel genuinely welcomed. Come hungry and arrive early or with a reservation, especially on weekends, because this is the kind of place where locals and travelers alike willingly hunt for parking to get their table.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Love this place! Comfortable homey environment rooted in kindness. There is a breakfast bar, booths, tables, and outside seating for warmer weather. Service is spot on! Struck out on my 1st order as there is a new cook and my choice was untraditional. I had a Hazelnut/Vanilla…
