Gateway Market and Cafe incorporates the same philosophy as the grocery store itself. It uses fresh, and sometimes local, ingredients in innovative dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Specialties are the house ramen noodles and sandwiches on South Union bread (baked on site). Try the wines and microbrews during happy hour at Gateway for just $2. A salad bar and takeout items, including sushi, are also available in the market.

"Breakfast"

By foodie from grand, December 4, 2008

Just average. I am a fan of traditional breakfast, greasy spoon, and I just didn't feel that here. Too loud for me. I'll try again at lunch.

When people come from out of town, I love to pick spots that really showcase Des Moines, and tell visitors we arent just some small town.
