Northern Vessel was founded in the spring of 2019 by way of a coffee cart. Over the next few years NV went from a coffee cart serving events, to delivering cold brew lattes to people’s homes during COVID, to serving coffee as an outdoor coffee shop, to a sub-leased brick and mortar shop.
After a year hiatus, NV has opened its first official brick and mortar in Downtown, Des Moines.
The mission is to create an exceptional coffee experience through hospitality.
