Waveland Café

Locally acclaimed, this may be the best breakfast spot in Des Moines. The Waveland Café's décor features walls faux-painted with windows and sconces, as well as coffee mugs lined on pegs behind the sit-down counter. The menu features home-style cooking, and breakfast is served all day. Diners can savor a made-to-order meal while enjoying the eclectic touches of purple polka dot curtains and the interesting ambience. The clientele runs the gamut from college kids to society mavens.
