the husband + I consider ourselves breakfast bagel sandwich connoisseurs. we rarely mess around with breakfast. we have our go to spots + we frequent them. there are few things more satisfying than lazily waking up on a weekend and having little plans, but to pick up a scrumptious breakfast + coffee. maybe enjoy there, or take home. depending on how hungry + presentable you’ve made yourself. (we’re 50/50).
we’ve ventured out + tried our fair share of local breakfast sandwiches, and can happily say we’ve settled on our 3 favorites ..
best breakfast sandwiches in des moines.
cj’s bagels | ankeny, IA.
my order: sausage, egg + cheese on an everything bagel.
don’t leave without: trying their bagel bits! (which are bite-sized bagels, lovingly topped with cream cheese frosting).
coffee + bagels | west des moines or clive, IA.
my order: santa fe + egg bagel sandwich.
don’t leave without: your favorite coffee beverage. for me that’s easily a cold press coffee or milk hot chocolate (with almond milk).
5 borough bagels | clive, IA.
my order: a breakfast bagel deluxe on an everything or sesame seed bagel.
don’t leave without: trying their amazing cream cheese flavors, like the sriracha bacon!
