Editorial Datebook Review: South Union Bread Cafe
South Union Bread Cafe
The Turkey Bacon Melt from South Union Bread Cafe. (Rodney White/The Register)
Before there was Centro, Gateway Market and Django, chef George Formaro operated the South Union Bakery and Deli. The South Union Bread Cafe is still operating next door to Centro as a crowded lunch spot where you can order sandwiches on fresh baked garlic focaccia, salads and the popular Potato Pepper Jack cheese soup. The line is usually long, but you can move through fast enough to get back to the office after a quick lunch.

"Deli sandwiches at their best"

By MegF from Beaverdale, October 5, 2009

Im a huge fan of deli's. I always thought that Manhatten Deli was my favorite spot in Des Moines, but South Union is a huge contender for the spot....
