I got maple long john which is usually my fav but was a little let down I felt like the frosting was a little thin and bland. My husband got a mystery say old donut box. It had a couple chocolate cake donuts and a couple glazed in it. It was fun for him. He also got a sausage cheese jalapeño breakfast sandwich and it was comically large with like 5 or 6 patties in it. You could get one and share with at least two or three people for sure.

If they are making pastries, you know that everything down to their buns are going to be mouthwatering... My mom devoured this pastry, but I'm still thinking about that sandwich. The warm pastrami with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and a horseradish aïoli... Lord have mercy. Please support these local bakeries because we need more of them. And by we I mean me. I loved all the natural light, the location is great, there is space that would accommodate a larger group, but also allows for intimate seating and studying if that's your vibe. Lastly, the staff is so lovely and helpful. Always such a great experience there.

However we were told they couldn't make drinks - I think it was too close to closing time, which I understand. There was a little bit of confusion about items in the case being mislabeled, likely because they get shuffled around as items sell out- so I'm honestly not sure what we ordered really. The prices are on the higher end (but worth it) so save for a special occasion & give them a try!

Remember it's not about food only, It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. The staff I encountered were helpful and honest. I asked if they're croissants were made in the traditional French style which is a little crisp on the outside and she said no there they were more soft. That told me a lot about their integrity. The staff seemed happy and we're quick and efficient. I don't really have any criticism and I'm sure they're decision has to do with what sells. Unfortunately most Americans want a soft croissant but if that's not what you want You don't have to order it. I would classify this more as an American French style bakery La Mie to me still sets the standard on french style croissants in Des Moines. It's a local business and always worthy of support.And I'm sure a lot of people like it. They also have a variety of simple lunches. Items and expresso . items They have an outdoor seating area too.

I've been here a few times and I really should have written a review quicker, but I can't figure out how to get the review to post 10 stars instead of five. This is easily the best bakery I've been in outside of my time in Paris. The people working there are fast, efficient and friendly...the ambience feels like something out of a Parisian boulangerie or patisserie. With that said the bakery items are absolutely fantastic. I had the rhubarb puff pastry and it was the perfect combination of crunchy,sweet, and tart. I've also had the bacon, egg and cheese, croissant...which, by the way is enormous...and while the egg cheese and bacon are perfectly well done, the croissant is the absolute star of the show. All of their croissants and puff pastries are warm, flaky, and buttery. I also purchased the French macarons for after my lunch that day and to be honest they didn't made it until 9:30am. Who can wait that long? They were crunchy, filled with delicious fillings, and had creative flavors. I can't possibly imagine going to a different bakery in Des Moines.

Great spot for some "designer" cinnamon rolls. You can create your own (tons of frosting options…read moreand toppings for days) or try one of their specialties that are displayed when you walk in. The lemon frosting and blueberries did me in! The only thing I'll note is they don't open until 10 which is late if you want these bad boys for breakfast but they close later than most "bakeries". Still worth a try!

Service was not the best. No greeting when we walked in and our order was wrong. Didn't notice it right away and when we did we asked if we could get the correct brownie she seemed annoyed. Luckily I had the receipt since I felt she was doubting me. She had to call the manager and the manager approved it. I tried making a loyalty account but there was an error message.

Extremely weird experience and honestly disturbing to think about what happens to other customers food being handled there as well. I have been to this location plenty of times and this has never happened so it was kind of a shock.
