Our Origin Story
New World Kitchen began as New World Café — Des Moines' first all-vegan restaurant, which opened on December 12th, 2012 in the East Village.
Enduring Plant-based Goodness
Some of the recipes we still serve today started at the restaurant, including our ALT Strips, the Smoky Mac, New World Salad, and our dairy-free New Mac Sauce.
Relaunch
Five years after closing, we relaunched New World Café as a meal-prep service in the Sherman Hill neighborhood of Des Moines, offering plant-based meals, sides, and desserts on a weekly basis!

A New Vegan Documentary from Justin
Hi, I’m Justin. For those of you who pick up your food from us on Mondays, you probably know me as the guy who hands your orders to you. I’ve worked with my wife Madeline as the web developer/photographer for New World Kitchen over the last 5+ years — but for most of my working hours, I’m a filmmaker. This year, my two worlds have begun to collide: I’m helping my friend Ryan Rakes make a documentary about vegan strength athletes, and I thought some of you might be interested in the project. We’ve chosen the subject because there is...

We're Back with Three New Menu Items!
When we take a week off, I usually take several days to rest, then a few to work on recipe development, and a few more to rest before getting back to the usual kitchen routine. I’ve come to see how this time is necessary for me as a chef and a person. Playing around in the kitchen to create new recipes is my favorite thing, and I’m so grateful I run a business that allows me that time. And because you all are the coolest, so many of you tell me how much you love that we take these breaks....
