from Google"Waterfront Cafe A wonderful new addition to the Des Moines Marina Pier. Located in the parking lot section. You must enter the parking, obtain a parking ticket and pay upon exit. My daughter, Kaylah and I decided to stop by on 9/18/25 to walk my grandpups, Kuba & Havanna. The day was sunny, beautiful and a little chilly. The young ladies were nice and greeted us with a smile. It was perfect to see this cafe on site which assisted us greatly to keep warm after we purchased two hot chocolate $3.95 each. It was good, however, we needed it to be a little more chocolatey. LOL! They also offer other sweet and savory items such as the following: -Hotdogs -Corndogs -Pizza (cheese/pepperoni) -Waffles -Caramel Apple Blossoms -Chocolate Croissants -Vanilla latte, Caramel Macchiato, Italian sodas, Redbull refreshers, Pink lemonade, Lemonade, Cappuccino, etc. Restrooms (4 tota) are located in same building in the rear. I would support them again when back. 😃"
