Ritual Cafe

Nestled in the heart of downtown's Gateway Park, Ritual Cafe is a cultural hub for the City of Des Moines attracting artists of all walks. While one wall is anchored with a permanent display of a local artist, other local artists rotate monthly on the walls surrounding the live performance area. Our stage hosts not only local, but nationally and internationally touring musicians and acts, too. Although Ritual Cafe is identified first and foremost as a coffee house, we do offer delicious vegetarian food. Our menu includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and for your after-dining pleasure, we also feature made-from-scratch treats from some of the best local bakers.
