Des Moines has no shortage of brunch locations, but locals know – there’s nowhere like Eggs & Jam. This kitschy West Des Moines cafe is immediately recognizable for its unique wall art, but its true signature is its massive plates of breakfast foods. The wizards of brunch take mainstays like waffles, burritos, and omelets and turn them into one-of-a-kind spectacles on a plate.

Eggs & Jam in Des Moines might look like a standard brunch cafe on the outside, but the locals know the party that lies inside!
