Restaurants open all the time in the Des Moines metro, with new options ranging from quick casual to full sit-down experiences with weekend breakfasts or brunches. A new batch of restaurants arrived through the end of 2023, bringing new experiences to the area. Now you can dig into German dishes, steak de Burgo, oysters, or sports bar fare, or grab a book and try one of two new coffeeshops in the metro. Ankeny sees expansions of Mullets, Club Car and the Breakfast Club, while West Des Moines lands three new places to try. And some of them even offer happy hours as well.
Have a look at 17 of the new restaurants that opened since last July in the Des Moines area.
Best Day Coffee
This new coffeeshop in Altoona offers breakfast all day and sandwiches. Try peanut butter and honey toast or a breakfast sandwich by morning, or an ultimate grilled cheese with shredded and cream cheeses, or a garden turkey panini later. All are under $5 for breakfast or less than $10 for sandwiches.
Best Day also offers coffee drinks including a cortado with espresso and steamed milk, a breve with espresso and steamed half and half, mochas, frappes, and lattes.
