Crema's Take
“HomeGrown is a warm neighborhood gathering spot where the coffee is solid and the full breakfast menu is the real star, with standout pastries like their famous pop'd heart that keeps customers coming back. The service here genuinely shines—your server will remember you're there—and the whole vibe feels like the kind of place where families linger over eggs Benedict and locals know everyone's name. It's the breakfast destination that just happens to serve excellent coffee alongside it.”

My husband and I stopped by here for our first time this morning and this is a new favorite! Our server Jordan was great, very attentive and great to talk to! Everything we had was so delicious and will definitely be back!
Enjoyed HomeGrown DSM. -Service was quick and friendly. Food also arrived surprisingly quickly after ordering, even when it was busy. -Meal was very enjoyable, and satisfying. -Locally made wooden tables alone also worth price of admission, Ron Swanson highly approves. -try the Housemade Pop’d Heart, or split one. They are completely next level. Can get busy, and noisy, but overall very good and well done. 8.7/10, with Pop’d Heart 9.6/10
Food wasn’t bad, but disappointing. Started with a vanilla latte, was just ok. Ordered scrambled eggs, sausage & pancakes. Eggs were average, sausage didn’t have a lot of flavor, and pancakes were still runny in the middle. Biscuits were good, light & fluffy. Not sure if it was too busy and they couldn’t handle the heat, but probably won’t be returning.
This delicious pop'd heart was SO good. Flakey, warm, not too sweet. I've been craving it since I went two days ago. The honeybee coffee was delightful as well! I also got the eggs Benedict Florentine, I was too excited to snap a picture to my friends and family on Snapchat that I forgot to save the photo - it was SO SO good. I would order it again, however everything on the menu looked fantastic so I will definitely try something else next time.....with a side of the pop'd heart of course. Highly recommend!
Bring your appetite! This place has great food! I was looking for a restaurant that serves breakfast food and coffee, but HomeGrown exceeded my expectations. This was the best breakfast food I've had in many years. We will definitely be going back. This is the kind of place you take someone who is visiting from out of town to impress them. The bacon tasted so good and was nice and thick. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the country themed eggs Benedict with sausage patty on a bisquit was ingenious. The variation on pop tarts were so good, and the coffee cake with caramel syrup... Their sweets are so tasty, and the coffee hit the spot. This will now be my go to breakfast spot.
