Great atmosphere and service. However, would not recommend to those with celiac disease despite the gluten free menu options. Clearly was either cooked with gluten containing items and heavy cross contact, or my 5 year old with celiac disease was served gluten pancakes despite confirming and re-confirming.

I would most definitely rate this a 5/5 experience. It was my first time coming to Gateway market. I was blown away by the selection they have. They even have several dairy free, gluten-free, and vegan options! The cashiers ( especially Bre ) were friendly/ sociable and they have the option for paper bags! Overall I had a fantastic shopping experience. Thanks gateway market!

The staff accommodated a large group immediately and we had great service from Annie! They have a whole vegan and gluten free menu if you ask for it. The tofu bites are great! Portions are very generous. A great option in the Des Moines area!

I love to eat A Dong! Wife has celiac and can't eat wheat, but they have delicious stir fry for them and rice wrap spring rolls as well. Very good food over all!

New World Kitchen has been an incredible blessing to our family. My husband has lyme disease and his food options are limited. My husband needs to eat foods that are dairy free, anti-inflammatory and gluten free with clean and simple ingredients. New World Kitchen checks all those boxes!! Additionally, the food flavors are absolutely phenomenal and unlike anything I've experienced before. The chefs at NWK are amazing and how they mingle the ingredients together to create a gourmet experience Is so impressive!! Thank you New World Kitchen for special treats and meals every week!!

The first thing you'll notice about this place is how beautiful it is. The design is flawless, melding an open-air, wispy feel with clean, industrial look. Whoever designed this place is brilliant! I've been here 3x since they opened over the summer. The first week they were open it was pretty crazy but somehow they got hot, delicious food out quickly. Drink service took a little longer but it wasn't horrible. Great teamwork! Now that the hype has died down a little bit and it's winter, I can judge it a little better. The food here is still amazing! Still delicious, still hot, still comes out quickly. I've gotten a different entree every time I've visited and have never been disappointed. My friends who are vegan and gluten-free also love the menu here! Drinks come a lot quicker now that there aren't 1000 people swarming the place. The beer is tasty, obviously. Their cocktail specials are also really good! They have tons of tables inside for dining. Lots of seats around the bar. We brought our dogs with us over the summer and sat on the patio. The wait staff was always gracious enough to bring our pups water. I don't usually visit a restaurant more than once but this is a recurring go-to in Des Moines. Highly recommend!

Great place with good beverages & food. Try the Sweet Georgia Brown iced or hot (I wish they did it Ice-blended too.) or the Café Borgia! Try the breakfast casserole or the taco salad! Good bakery treats too, even a few that are gluten-free (much appreciated). Book a meeting room or gather with friends. Can get busy with college students and locals though, so consider booking a room to ensure space for more than a few people.
