Veggie Thumper truly celebrates vegan cuisine with a delicious twist! 🌱 I had the Frisco melt and root wedges during my recent visit, and both were bursting with flavor!

The atmosphere is casual yet trendy, making it a great spot for lunch or dinner. The staff is friendly, which added to the overall positive experience.

Though I did hear of longer wait times, mine was manageable. If you’re in Des Moines, definitely give this Black-owned gem a try! Can’t wait to explore more of their rotating specials... 🌟
