South Union Bread Cafe is a true gem in Des Moines! 🌟 Nestled in the historic Temple Theater, this spot offers the best sandwiches in town. The "Sarah's Revenge" is an absolute must-try - perfectly crafted with fresh ingredients and their signature ciabatta bread.

The atmosphere is casual and cozy, making it ideal for a quick lunch or a leisurely dine-in experience. Just a heads up, it can get a bit loud during peak hours! 💬 Don't miss their unique potato salad while you're there. Highly recommend this delightful cafe for anyone in the area! 🍽️
