Grounded by the Collective, a new Filipino coffee shop opening July 11 in Des Moines’ East Village, is the brick-and-mortar answer to one family’s desire to bring their culture to Iowa, one ube latte and halo-halo at a time. After drawing lines at the Downtown Des Moines Farmers’ Market since 2023 with vividly colored drinks and Filipino desserts, the family behind the brand is finally giving regulars the answer they’ve been asking for: yes, there is now a permanent shop. The menu at the East Village shop builds on the family’s market favorites, leaning hard into Filipino flavors while staying accessible to coffee fans who might just know ube as “that purple drink.” Tap the link in our bio for more on this story. #DesMoines #Iowa #DesMoinesFoodie #DesMoinesEats
