A coffee brand is making waves in Iowa as it expands its presence. Midnight Coffee, formerly known as Coffee Emporium, is opening a new location in Clive. This marks the fifth café for the brand, which has recently undergone a rebranding after new ownership. Alex Nelson, the owner, is eager to tap into the Des Moines market, which he believes has great potential. The café will retain much of the former menu from St. Kilda’s Collective but will introduce some minor changes.
• Midnight Coffee is taking over St. Kilda’s Collective in Clive.
• This new location is part of a larger expansion plan following a recent rebranding.
• The café will maintain its table service, differing from other locations that focus on counter service.
• The menu will include pastries, sandwiches, and hearty breakfast options.
This expansion highlights the growing coffee culture in Iowa and the potential for local businesses to thrive in new markets. It also reflects a trend of established brands adapting to new environments while keeping some of their original charm.
