Mars Cafe - Des Moines

I decided to try this place because I like trying new coffee places… this was a mistake here. I took my time figured out what I wanted, the cashier was eager to end our interaction when I hadn’t finished ordering. She did not read the order back or make sure that everything by was correct. When asked what size for my boyfriend’s hot latte he said 12oz. When we got the coffee it was an 8oz coffee; don’t know why you would bother asking if it won’t matter. Then we got our food. My boyfriend got the space egg and asked to add bacon; there was no bacon added and there was multiple HAIRS on the sandwich. It took them 30 minutes to make my bacon egg and cheese bagel; it also had hair on the plate. I decided to give it a try and found a hair after my first bite. Over all just a bad experience. The workers aren’t required to have their hair back or in a net when working with food. And the coffee was subpar Parking: N/A

The coffee is delicious and the staff are friendly and patient while you make a decision of what to order. I just wish there were more gluten free or non-bread food options.

We had the Gemini cereal latte and hot chocolate. Loved the latte art! Wish they had outdoor seating as it’s a nice location.

Friendly staff, lots of space to sit and hang out, and solid drinks!

My friends and I love this place!!! This cafe has plenty of seating, great natural lighting and wonderful espresso. The baristas are friendly and engaging, especially Lu and Anna. On the menu they have locally made bagels, breakfast sandwiches, soups and lunch sandwiches :)I couldn't recommend this place more!
