La Mie Elevate is moving out of the Des Moines skywalk. Here's where

A favorite Des Moines lunch spot will receive grant funding to relocate its downtown cafe to street level from the second-floor skywalk. Des Moines City Council members on Monday, Nov. 2, approved a $200,000 grant to help La Mie, a French-style bakery, patisserie and cafe known for its artisan breads, flaky croissants and European light fare, transition to its new ground-floor home, 319 Seventh St., Unit 101, in the Griffin Building from the second floor of the Two Ruan Building. Council member Mike Simonson abstained from the vote because of a small ownership stake in the Griffin Building, he told the Des Moines Register. Since 2017, the Two Ruan Building has housed the bakery's downtown restaurant, La Mie Elevate, luring lunchtime crowds with an assortment of grain and protein bowls, sandwiches and salads. But as the bakery's lease agreement ends and Two Ruan prepares for an office-to-residential conversion , La Mie's owners have been eyeing a move to the vacant storefront at the corner of Seventh and Locust to maintain a downtown presence. Joe Logsdon, who co-owns La Mie with his wife Christina Logsdon, told the Des Moines Register the project will be a good opportunity to put some new
