St. Kilda Cafe & Bakery

It was a great experience dining at St. Kilda. Food is well prepared and the dishes were well crafted. Hospitality is warm and comfort. Servers are nice and responsive. Highly recommended for branch, casual coffee hangout, and BFF gatherings.

I can't say enough about this place!! This restaurant far exceeds many other restaurants in the Des Moines area and sets the bar pretttyyy high. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The ambiance is like a high end chic hipster vibe. We made a reservation for 10am on a Saturday and our table was ready 5 mins before.

The servers wait ALL tables which is amazing - if you need anything you can grab anyone and not have to find your waiter. They were attentive and always made sure our waters were full and we had everything we need without being over the top.

I accidentally spilled my drink and they replaced it for free, and immediately helped clean up with the best disposition.

Their food was delicious (salmon/poached eggs), their cranberry mimosa was super cute and also delicious, and their chai latte was stunningly made and, again, delicious 👌 Will be back again and again!

Amazing food, beautiful ambience, good prices and warm service. I went w a group of friends, all of us found something delicious to have for breakfast. I had a sort of lamb pastry, it was fabulous. Very savory and well crafted flavors. We shared a caramel apple french toast, it was also very good. My latte was just on point and my friends also enjoyed their dishes.

We are from Kansas City but we will definitely return when we visit Des Moines. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌🏻

Another day at St. Kilda and they killed it once again!! We were here yesterday and they also were amazing, our servers have been kind and knowledgeable! Brunch today was delicious and nicely plated 10 out of 10 recommend coming here for any meal!

Yes. This place is all that and a bag of chips. Normally I'm hesitant to order something off the menu that someone suggests in the review because let's get real, you can't come into town and visit a place once, order one item, and say it's the best thing on the menu gtfo. However, I am in Des Moines for a week for work and I've been here three times and can honestly say St. Kilda makes me happier than any woman ever has. The avocado toast, as many reviewers suggested, is the embodiment of true love. Go wild and get the poached egg on top and side of bacon, your mother will approve. The staff is amazing as well. Put this on your list.

The falafel bowl was amazing with complex flavors and textures. I ordered the espresso which was nice, but was not served with complementary sparkling water. The atmosphere was great but our server made it feel less welcoming than I assume intended.

Delicious food - devoured the cheddar chive biscuit sandwich. The chocolate croissant and pumpkin scone were also so yummy. I enjoyed the vanilla latte more than the chai latte. Fantastic service!

St. Kilda has amazing food!! Cafe was super cute and clean. The servers were all friendly too. Definitely a must place to visit when in Des Moines!

The Australian coffee was amazing. All the food we tried was great as usual and the service staff was always friendly and prompt.

The flavors that this restaurant puts together for their dishes are incredible. I ordered a poached braised pork belly breakfast. I loved the pickled fennel, it such a unique touch to the dish. The pork was very dry. For the price of this plate I was expecting perfection. This is why I gave a four star.
