Certainly way better than buying baked goods at a grocery store. It's kind of dark and dingy looking on the inside and the outside is in need of some cleanup of the overgrown grass and weeds. The lady that was there was not terribly friendly and barely could bring herself to speak. I found that a bit awkward when I was in there.

The place was recommended to me by my dad as he said that have the best sandwiches and they are huge. Of course we go ourselves a sandwich to see what all of the fuss was about. The amount of meat and goodies in the sandwich was no joke and very good. Staff were all very nice and friendly. We bought a few soup mixes and are excited to give them a try for dinner one night when the weather calls for it. All in all a great little stop of anything you might want from sugar snacks to face creams. Stop in an see what you have been missing out on.

DATE & TIME OF VISIT: November 1, 2025 @ 5:05pm. They were not busy (there was no one there)…read more AMBIANCE & CLEANLINESS: located in a strip mall, had cute color/decor. From what we could see, it was clean. SERVER: The young blonde girl at the counter didn't say anything to us when we came in and only spoke when we would ask a question (and she was very short/one word answer). Customer service was not her strong suit. We almost walked out due to her not acknowledging us. FOOD: we ordered a six pack of cookies Flavors ordered: chocolate chunk, M&M's, red velvet, banana pudding, mocha, pb oreo something. Taste: we were excited for these cookies due to the reviews and sadly it fell short for us. They were just Meh, no real flavor difference between the varieties, and they had an odd "cake" texture. Flavors all very bland (even with all the mix ins), there was no richness or depth. Size: they are jumbo cookies, so good for sharing! Price: $3.00/each (I believe that was the cost) OVERALL THOUGHTS: Server was not very customer service forward. Cookies were Meh (had way better). Price is good. WOULD I RETURN? No, we would not drive 3 hours again to return. Even if we were in the area not sure we would come back for seconds.

The weekly changing lunch menu has some outstanding dishes. Last week I enjoyed the Cajun bean soup on a cold day. The spicy warmth hit the spot. Had the delicious Cowboy Cobb salad today. Flavor mixture was great. I would have liked a few more bites of that moist chicken but the mixture of guacolmoli, beans, and spices was well done. Yum! And the staff ar friendly. I also like the points for shopping there. I get an occasional free cookie and such. Keep it up!

And delicious, and everything was $1. No. I was not dreaming. I was doing my weekly shopping at Eastern Market. And I was so happy! I talked to one of the owners (Gary) and his daughter. They were so sweet and more than happy to talk to me and tell me about everything and all of their products. I ended up getting a brownie with chocolate buttercream frosting and walnuts. Oh. My. Gosh. More please! The piece was like six-inch square and was a wallet-friendly dollar. I only wish I would have bought like 12 or more! I was really surprised when I finally tried the brownie because it was "cakey" variety and I generally stand firmly in the 'brownies should be fudgey NOT cakey" camp. It was light but packed a great and rich chocolate flavor. The buttercream was so smooth and flavorful! It tasted like chocolate but the true buttercream flavor still had a place on my palate. The nuts added just the right amount of flavor and texture. Oooohhh man! I am drooling! I knew I liked Bay City before, now, it's on the must stop list for northbound travel!

We were visiting downtown Midland and the Tridge when we came upon Iron Dame. A…read moreFrench-European-style bakery in a small city? Not something that you see too often so we decided to stop by to take a look. It was within an hour of them closing and unfortunately many of the pastries were already sold out. Still, they had a couple of croissants that looked absolutely delicious and we couldn't resist picking some up. In addition to pastries, they also sell coffee and, interestingly enough, milk tea and boba (popping type only I think). I can easily imagine sitting outside, sipping on a drink and nibbling on a pastry. Raspberry Vol au Vent ($5) - Woah, just look at those layers on this pastry. So well defined with crisp, buttery puff pastry layers that are easy to pull apart. This one is filled with a raspberry jam and adorned with a single fresh raspberry in the center. They don't skimp on the jam here - it's absolutely loaded up. The jam is tangy, sweet, and delicious. It's filled with fresh and crunchy raspberry seeds and a brightness that is welcome. (5/5) Bacon & Havarti Croissant ($6) - Other places might put a single thin slice of bacon and cheese inside - Iron Dame fills it chock full with meat and cheese. Salty, savory, umami, everything you could want from a savory croissant. Since there's so much filling, it compresses the croissant dough along the edges making it chewier and more bready, yet still retaining a bit of flakiness. (5/5) Pain Au Chocolat ($5) - The lamination on this pastry isn't nearly as good - the layers are on the thicker side with smaller air bubbles. Definitely more bready than flaky. I'm not sure what happened to this pastry - the pictures on their website shows very well defined layers but this one was anything but. Two batons of chocolate are inserted inside, giving sweetness and richness. I wasn't able to eat this until the following day - since I couldn't eat it fresh, I won't include it in my overall rating. This particular pastry is something around a 3/5 though. It looks like they don't have a set menu (at least not what I can see from their website), so I would definitely drop by with an open mind to see what they are offering that day! I would come here again if I lived in Midland or if I was in the area. Yum! Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Overall rating of the food this visit: 5/5
