We had the Spanish latte, Blackberry Vanilla Latte, French toast and chocolate croissant. All was delicious! Love the chill, upscale environment. Definitely lived up to the hype!

Great food! I've been here twice now from out of town. Good atmosphere only "issue" I have is that placement of seats and available seats makes it to wear you sitting fairly close to other tables.

I have been wanting to try this place since my son moved to Des Moines. Great place! I had the homemade granola with chia seed yogurt. My son had the spinach florentine with poached eggs and hollandaise. My husband had the breakfast tacos and we were all VERY happy with our choices. Will be stopping in again on our next visit!

Sad we live on the east coast & can’t go here all the time! The food was to die for. The staff were beyond amazing. We got the breakfast tacos & the salmon, favorite meal of our trip. 1000% recommend for your trip to Des Moines.

I have been here several times recently for brunch. This place knows what they are doing and they are really good at it: the atmosphere, the decor, the food, the service. The lattes here are the best in the area, hands down. Even the cups and saucers are beautiful and add to my enjoyment of the coffee drinks. I want the exact cups for my own home. The seasonal latte flavors are creative and never overly sweet. I do love a pumpkin spice latte, and St. Kilda has the best. I was interested in a seasonal mocha and was hesitant to order it for fear it would be too sweet, but the server told me more about it so I decided to try it. It was the best mocha I’ve ever had with the perfect balance of flavors and just the right amount of sweetness. Everything that’s a part of the Big Aussie Breakfast is prepared to perfection: thick cut bacon, delicious blistered roasted tomatoes, perfectly crispy house-made bread. Even the gluten-free bread is excellent. Last week my boyfriend got a hashbrown on the side and it was the best hashbrown I’ve ever had - a lovely soft texture on the inside and perfectly crispy all the way around on the outside. The last 3 times I’ve eaten there, we’ve had the same server. I love her! Very friendly, relatable, and a bit quirky in the best possible way. After our last visit, I decided St. Kilda in Valley Junction is my favorite place for brunch.Dietary restrictions: They serve really yummy gluten-free toast.

The place has a cozy, homey atmosphere that feels neither too high-class nor cheap with staff who are friendly and attentive. This cafe's tex-mex twist on biscuits and gravy brings delicious flavor with its chorizo gravy and adds strips of tortilla chips and onions to give the dish a pleasant crunch.

They’re very accommodating on coffee preference and they use counter culture. Their coffee on tap handle hasn’t been operable since at least August 2023?
Staff went out of their way for our large group, great service and fantastic coffee. Thanks St Kilda team !

We just ordered take out. My husband ordered mushroom toast and I got salmon and eggs. My salmon and eggs were bad. I used to enjoy their salmon and eggs. The salmon smelled very fishy and had an ammonia taste so I threw it out. My husband was also not very pleased with his food. He said it was inedible. The only item we enjoyed was the chai latte.

I did not stay and eat a full breakfast here, I just grabbed a croissant and a coffee, but the place is very nicely decorated, the atmosphere is nice. The staff was friendly. I got the very last croissant and it is the BEST one I've ever had!!Not to mention prices were very reasonable. I was very pleased.Only suggestion I would have, would be....my latte could have been hotter. Still 5 Stars.
