Littleleaf Luncheonette closes in Waukee; owners plan new restaurant
Less than 14 months after helping anchor Waukee's downtown revival, Littleleaf Luncheonette has closed, ending an ambitious chef-driven concept that brought seasonal cuisine, specialty coffee and wine-bar culture to the city's historic Triangle. Littleleaf Luncheonette opened in October 2025 in a restored historic brick building at 405 Sixth St. in Waukee's downtown Triangle. The restaurant was part of the city's broader downtown revitalization efforts and occupied the redeveloped former Pin Oak building. Mallory Holt and Ryan Nicholson, who opened Littleleaf after working together for six years, said they sold the restaurant to a local family, who will do something different with the menu. Holt described the new owners as “a family and friend group.

Holt, an Iowa native, and Nicholson, who moved to Iowa from upstate New York, plan to open a new restaurant with a similar vibe, rooted in seasonality, quality ingredients, hospitality and community.

“Hi, Welcome to Chili’s”
The evening of November 8th, 2026 was marked with excitement as a group of six girls, including 3 of your Dowling Catholic Post writers, sauntered into Chili’s looking for some good food and even better memories. And while we didn’t have crazy expectations going in, what we were met with when we got seated at 11411 Forest Avenue in Clive, Iowa, was certainly a pleasant surprise.
