Vegetarian cafe turned fully vegan per July 2014 report. Uses organic and locally grown produce. Offers juicing and cooking demonstrations. MAR 2015 REPORTED SHUT, MOVING.
True to its name, the food here tastes fresh, vibrant and alive! I ordered the raw pasta made with zucchini noodles and topped with a tomato marinara on a bed of spinach. My dining companion had their Mediterranean-style falafel salad. The portions are generous and the prices spot on for the quality you're getting. I'm so delighted to find a place offering such colorful and healthy food in Des Moines. When we were finished with our meals, they were offering samples of black bean brownies. My companion had planned on splitting one with me, but once we took a bite she said, "We each need one for ourselves!" I look forward to going back and trying more of their entrees and desserts.
Fresh Café and Market always has delicious food and smoothies/juice! Their menu changes seasonally, so there's always variety. They also have great specials, particularly with vegan dessert. My favorite menu items are the pesto mac & cheeze and the raw chocolate shake. Definitely would recommend to anyone who happens to be in West Des Moines!
This place is now COMPLETELY VEGAN! Food is super good and staff was super nice! We tried the veggie burger, mac n cheese, hummus, black bean brownie and a smoothie and absolutely loved them all. Go there! Get lunch. And a brownie.
