Blazing Star

A taste of something different in small town Iowa. Had their soup of the day too; like a curry carrot ginger = delicious!! The pancakes are sublime! A melted butter cinnamon sugar reduction, berry compote and REAL warmed maple syrup. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe the food. Super chill atmosphere along with a kind-hearted staff. 🩷🩷

This place had many great vegan options, so I had a hard time choosing what to get. I got the lemon hummus bowl and it was great. I loved the sweet potatoes and red beats in it, as well as the hummus. They also had beer from the local brewery. It was in cans, so my only improvement would be offering those as drafts.

Blazing Star was such a lovely experience! The owners and staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming. I had the Caesar salad and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had, so fresh and flavorful! I also tried the maple cold brew, which was super delicious, and the cups were so cute (the owner even shared where she got them!). You can really tell they put so much care into everything here. O

Blazing Star offers fresh, delicious, local menu items. If you need, or just desire, gluten free and/or vegan options, this is the place for you. It's in the higher price point, but you won't be disappointed, as the bowls are both filling and delicious. They also have a delicious selection of salads.

Holy moly, this was good. Sooooo gooood. I’m usually a meat eater but have been trying to switch it up and the rice bowl I had today was honestly amazing. So many flavors I didn’t miss not having meat. This will change your mind on “health food.” I added oyster mushrooms and feta to the Dilly Beet bowl.❤️
