I haven’t been disappointed! My homegrown tomatoes aren’t ready yet, in the season Paula’s uses homegrown tomatoes 🍅 in their BLT’s.
Yummy 😋 Thank you 🙏 ladies, it was absolutely amazing!!! I also LOVE the Chicken Tortilla Soup. I definitely need to try more.

Paula’s is one of my favorite places to get lunch in Des Moines. Their Made Rights are fresh and delicious every time! They have great soup selection too, which you don’t always find any more. And the staff is so wonderful! They make you feel so welcome!

One of the best hidden gem lunch cafes in Des Moines. Amazing food, the ladies work hard and stay busy serving their regulars. Cash only. Worth every penny.

So surprised that can not use credit card or debit card. Well 98% do not carry cash. Employees were nice, but the stares me and my daughter got when we came in from the customers. Is we shouldn’t came in there, but the employees were friendly.

I went in today and got the special which was an Italian Chopped sandwich for $12.50. Not only was it not good AT ALL , it definitely was not worth the price tag. Very disappointed!!

I really don't think there's enough room to say how great this place is.
It's very well priced, and for that price, you walk out stuffed. We had the maid-rites, but we are planning to go back and try each and every item they have..
