    Cereal Milk cupcake Uber Cookie Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake
    Emily B.

    Looove the atmosphere & customer service of this hidden little gem. You MUST try this place. Sooo many fun delicious homemade with love options! LGBTQ+ friendly. Indoor/outdoor seating. Late night alcoholic bevies on the weekends! Nothin better than desert & drinks all in one stop!

    Hot Chocolate (spicy)
    Todd B.

    4.5* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 5* 09/09/2023 We were killing time walking down Ingersoll and waiting for our dinner reservation when I saw a sign for Crème. If you follow my posts, you know that I have a strong sweet tooth - so had to stop and check the place out...even though I wasn't supposed to eat dessert before dinner. What could possibly be wrong with a stop at a shop advertising both delicious desserts / snacks as well as cocktails! I couldn't resist eating one of them immediately (even before dinner...), so opted for the Hot Chocolate (spicy) cupcake (see picture). Unfortunately, I was so eager to taste it that it was already unwrapped before I remembered to take a picture. My wife was a little more sensible...opting for the Salted Peanut Butter Honey Chocolate Torte to go. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of it. We both sampled some of each others and found them both to be delicious. The cupcake had just the right amount of spicy kick to go along with the sweet chocolate and frosting - and the torte was every bit as good as you can imagine. If you are in the area and looking for a great sweet treat, snack or cocktail (even late in the evening), you will definitely want to give this place a try.

    Delicious! Lots of great options for treats. Had a cranberry orange cupcake that was absolutely lovely on my most recent visit. Unique ambiance and love the fusion flavor options, such as incorporating miso. Yum!

    Salted Caramel cheesecake
    Cemby K.

    We got here close to closing time so a lot of the bakery items were already gone but we were able to get a drink & a cheesecake. The decor of this place is beautiful and well thought out, there were plenty of seats to enjoy your drink & snack. I love how the bathroom was clean, and it had feminine products available and a chair for a friend ‍ or your purse lol. The drinks weren't very strong but I wasn't expecting it to be like a bar, it was refreshing w a subtle amount of alcohol. The salted caramel cheesecake was GOOD the caramel brick paired perfectly with the cheesecake and we almost finished it immediately. The service was fast and good, and the workers were there w a smile even when it was 30 mins til closing time! We'll definitely be back next time... a lot earlier to see what else they have on their bakery shelves.

    Front Ordering Space!
    MaryAnn S.

    Ordering was a simple process with little or no wait. The window display was very enticing with a choice of chocolate on chocolate cupcakes, to an assortment of other sweet flavors. Inside is small with no seating just enough space to place your order on the go. Add this locally owned business to your list to try.

    Open house for seasonal treats
    Mikhala F.

    Crème is one of those places in Des Moines that just gets it. I stopped in for their holiday open house and was absolutely wowed at their creativity, care, and skill. The store is cozy and quaint, with warm lighting and friendly staff. There are several seating options if you're here with a friend: grab a cupcake and a coffee or tea and enjoy! Otherwise, take to go with their quick service. The holiday treats they had out to sample really wowed me. I need gluten free options, and sometimes, those are pretty hard to come by in DSM. Crème goes above and beyond to make treats for folks who need gluten free options and I love that! They had GF meringue trees, GF reindeer macaroons, and more. Not to mention, they were cute AND delicious! Whether you're looking for a desserts spot to meet a friend after work and grab a treat, or want to wow your family or office with some adorable treats, Crème has got something everyone will love--not just cupcakes. Check them out!

    Green apple cupcake, champagne cake, bookwork cupcake
    Natalie C.

    This cupcake shop is so unique and has such a friendly staff. The cupcakes are also not too sweet and hit the spot for me. The frosting is great. The green apple cake tasted tart and like streusel. The champagne cake with the peach frosting was light for dense cake. I was surprised! The bookworm cupcake has a mouse inside that was so good!! The owners and staff made the shop such a fun place to be. They talked to everyone and made it a place to hang out. Go here!!

    beautiful custom unicorn cake
    Angie W.

    I'm so thankful to have found Creme cupcake! We were visiting from out of town and I reached out to see if they could do a custom cake. Whitney did an amazing job doing a custom purple unicorn cake. We did a raspberry lemon cake was which great! I had it delivered to the restaurant ahead of time. I would definitely order from here again!!

    What a friendly atmosphere. Stopped here for dessert one evening. The kind lady behind the counter greeted us and came over to our table to explain what they had to offer. There is weekly specials and she showed us on the menu that all the deserts have a drink to pair with them if you like. Going in with a sweet tooth is the idea, because that is what they specialize in. I had the delicious apple crisp and got to taste of the martini my friend ordered. I really loved the friendliness of this shop. The cupcakes are really yummy and I would recommending stopping in for some fantastic sweets.

    See all

    For being a dessert spot, it really lacks. Flavors are off and everything is a hit or miss with being dry. Better luck elsewhere.

Most of the time I was there, a line stretched all the way to the door -- a steady stream of people happily waiting to purchase their precious goods. And after one bite, it makes perfect sense. The beignets are tender, golden, and decadently filled -- I chose the Nutella and the tiramisu, and each one delivered a luscious center wrapped in a delicate, lightly crisp exterior. They're indulgent yet airy, rich yet balanced. The strawberry cream croissant was beautifully laminated, shattering gently with each bite to reveal silky cream and bright berry flavor between buttery layers. There's a precision and care in every pastry that makes the quality unmistakable. Having traveled extensively and tasted pastries in cities around the world, I can confidently say these stand among the finest. From the highly praised almond croissants to vibrant fruit tarts, elegant cakes, and standout walnut cinnamon rolls, everything reflects true craftsmanship. Ces pâtisseries sont fantastiques. The menu extends beyond sweets with freshly baked breads, savory quiche, satisfying sandwiches, smooth espresso, and thoughtful seasonal offerings. The space is spotless and welcoming, grounded in high-quality ingredients and genuine hospitality. The staff is gracious and attentive, making each visit feel warm and unhurried. Owner Nadia Ahissou began baking during the pandemic and has earned well-deserved local recognition for her success as a Black entrepreneur. She is often present, hands-on and focused, clearly invested in every detail. Her commitment to authentic French technique is evident in every bite. Des Moines is proud to have this charming treasure in its community.
