One of my favorite things to do is check out the new
stores/restaurants/bars that open in Des Moines. This city is growing so much
that new places are popping up all the time —it’s almost hard to keep up! The
latest one Adam and I ventured to is called Sidebar. It’s part coffee house,
part gelato shop and part cocktail lounge.
It opened on Monday in the Capital Square building in
downtown Des Moines. We stopped in for lunch on Tuesday but found out they
weren’t quite serving lunch yet — the chefs said that will be starting around
next week-ish. So I settled for an almond latte and a scoop of gelato (big
sacrifice, right? ;).
The coffee was good but not particularly special, but the
gelato was out of this world. I opted for the caramel sea salt, and I barely
let Adam have two bites because I wanted it all for myself! It’s a little
pricey — $3.50 for one scoop — but once I tasted it I didn’t care how
much it cost. It was creamy and perfect. I told Adam I wanted to come back
every day for more!
My favorite part of Sidebar was its look. Everything is
clean and white, and since it’s located on a corner, with two walls of
floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s really bright and cheerful. I wish I worked
downtown so I could go there every day...although it’s probably a good thing I
don’t because I would literally go there every day!
