AVOID I tried to use my debit card and the owner was totally rude and dismissive. What is up with service industry people in this town? They act cooler than they actually are... ahh, LAME!

We love everything about Ritual Cafe: the atmosphere is comfortable, the baristas are kind and the coffees are delicious! I like a vanilla oatmilk latte

Came in here this morning to grab coffee and a small breakfast for my family. I ordered the large iced pistachio rose latte and it was superb. The pistachio/rose flavor makes it the perfect combo of creamy and delightful. My husband had a large iced pumpkin spice latte which was exactly that deliciously pumpkin and spice. The staff was very friendly and I believe one of the owners was there and she was very nice smiling at me snapping pictures of her beautiful business. My husband and I shared the mexi bowl which I unfortunately didn't get a picture of because my kid was into it picking out the beans and we devoured it up right away too. It had egg, salsa, cheese, black beans, bell peppers and avocado slices. The mexi bowl was the perfect balance of all the good things we love. They have quite the variety of dishes for everyone. We are gluten free so the young lady who helped us recommended it for us and it definitely hit the spot. Highly recommend for everyone to try!

Went here today and got a flavored late with my buddy and we both agreed they weren't good.

I love this place! People who work there are so friendly and kind. Food is delicious for a very reasonable price in single digits. I haven’t seen single-digit prices on a breakfast menu in a long time. Plants inside the cafe also create a calm vibe.

The service at this place was horrible the worst I've ever experienced. Is my friend inquired about The ingredients and she got really pushy and told us just to order. He responded what so I can't ask questions about the food and then she refused to serve him. She was very rude self entitled and cared little about the service. I think she shouldn't be dealing with the public. Clearly she has no idea about manners in public service. This is not the first time this happened a year ago, Rude with horrible customer service I would never come here again.

Amazing cafe. Excellent service. Immaculate vibes inside. The food / beverages are unmatched in the Des Moines area. I am so happy that I found this place. I will definitely be returning when passing through area and would recommend that anyone to do the same. Ritual Cafe is a gem.

Everything is great the only thing I don't like is there is still an upcharge for plant milk instead of cow's. Other than the eggs and milk, great place to eat.

I walked here from my hotel and was pleasantly surprised to find this bohemian gem. Right away as I walked in I was met with vibrant color, tons of art, posters, sculptures, and plants to admire, mellow music that wasn't too loud, the amazing aroma of coffee beans, and cool A/C. The baristas immediately greeted me and pointed out the descriptive menu and said that any of their hot drinks they could prepare iced. I ordered the tomato and basil panini with provolone and parmesan cheese on a garlic herb focaccia along with the iced Mocha Bianca. The sandwich came with a small side of homemade coleslaw. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I finished my sandwich and sipped my perfect white mocha while reading a book. What a wonderful afternoon! I will definitely return next time I am in downtown Des Moines.

Atmosphere & coffee were pretty good! But I was sad to see they use styrofoam for the to-go cups :(

Ritual is the best cafe in Des Moines. It's not a statement I make lightly, it's just true. It's just absolutely bursting with life, personality, great food, and good coffee. (I'm having their horchata latte & the breakfast burritos with the black bean mix added this morning - divine!)If you value the experience of a beautiful environment, support local and run don't walk here, and make it part of your morning Ritual!

I love coming here on the weekends and whenever I have the chance in before this places closes. The place is so cozy and the atmosphere is friendly as well. The menus for the food, drink, and coffee is all so easy to read, unlike the scary lists I would see at other cafes where it’s an overwhelming choice. This place is perfect to come to just to unwind by yourself or with friends to have a chat. I see many people here just to work and it really brings the motivation. My only complaint is that they close on Sundays and Mondays, along with their hours closing at 2pm. But it’s always a treat whenever I do come from time to time.Parking: The only option is parking on the streets.
