St. Kilda Cafe Bakery - Des Moines

St. Kilda has amazing food!! Cafe was super sweet and clean. The servers were also friendly. Definitely a must visit place when in Des Moines!

Yes. This place is all that and a bag of chips. Normally I'm hesitant to order something off the menu that someone suggests in the review because let's get real, you can't come into town and visit a place once, order one item, and say it's the best thing on the menu gtfo. However, I am in Des Moines for a week for work and I've been here three times and can honestly say St. Kilda makes me happier than any woman ever has. The avocado toast, as many reviewers suggested, is the embodiment of true love. Go wild and get the poached egg on top and side of bacon, your mother will approve. The staff is amazing as well. Put this on your list.

Go here!!! This was by far the best meal we had during our long weekend visit to Des Moines. I ordered breakfast tacos, my partner ordered the steak and eggs, and we both had mochas (with house-made chocolate syrup). The weather was glorious so we ate outside and enjoyed the morning while experiencing exceptional service from a team of incredibly wonderful humans –and got to pet some incredibly wonderful dogs, too. What a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back here when we visit this city again.

Stopped in for lunch while in town for business. Service was polite and prompt from beginning to end. Having read so many positive reviews of the avocado toast, I had to try it, and I was definitely not disappointed. Some might want the bacon a little more done, but personally I don't want it super crunchy. The iced coffee was cool and refreshing on a 90° day, and not too bitter even without milk or cream. I will say it's not a cheap lunch spot, but I think the ingredients, preparation and presentation justify the price.

Marvelous place! A friend introduced me to here and I was very impressed. Staff was welcoming and the food was aesthetically visual and super tasty! Beautiful inside and unique.
