My husband and my MIL came here for breakfast during our holiday visit. Service was friendly and…read morethe dishes were great with generous portions. I had the deluxe breakfast, my husband ordered the meat lover omelette and my MIL opted for biscuits with gravy and a side of scrambled eggs. Everything bite was lovely so we picked up 3 large cinnamon rolls to take home at the counter. There were 3 tipping options on the credit card terminal ranging from 20% to 30% on the total amount! I promptly selected the custom option and added my self-calculated amount based on a reasonable and respectable percentage on the pre-tax total of the dined-in portion. I'm glad I did my math at the table before going up to the cash register.

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

We were greeted with different loaves of bread, sliced and bagged; I had eyes only for Stollen bread. Other baked goods, seasonings, jams, salad dressings, and more were there. My friend and I both ended up at the bakery case, where we picked out some treats. I ended up with cherry and apple fritters and a pineapple hand pie. The fritters were okay; I had one at the end of the day and thought it was a bit stale. The pastry for the hand pie was a bit more like shortbread than pie dough so not to my taste. However, the staff at the bakery counter were friendly and helpful. The place was buzzing but they worked quickly to accommodate all of us, even the undecided.

We had to go to an appointment near Grand Rapids today. So my hubby wanted to stop by this bakery…read morethat was recently voted #1 Bakery in Michigan. Can I have anything... No ... Yeah I'm crying. But I ordered everything I would if I could. And my hubby tried everything. Do I think you should go out of your way Yes! Especially now when we have nothing to do but drive these days. Everything was freshly baked different unique flavors. We ordered one of everything basically. Got into the car my hubby tried a little bite of everything and then we actually went back in to get more of things so that we could share them with other people. They had a Malple Toasted Coconut Cinnamon Roll... I tasted the frosting it was delicious. The texture was super soft by feel. He loves them. We also got a four pack of regular cinnamon rolls which we haven't tried yet. They had a homemade oatmeal sandwich cookie that was pretty good, but not the best ever. Homemade nutter butter cookies. The frosting inside was a little sugary, I tasted that, but other than that he said it was a great mixture between crunchy and soft. They have a cappuccino donut... I tasted the frosting and the filling Oh my God... If I could eat them we would have ordered a dozen. And he agrees. The apple fritters... Amazing. We haven't tried the turnovers yet. They have Apple, blueberry, raspberry, and cherry And the scones looked amazing although we didn't actually get one. The baker really seem to know his stuff. As someone who cooks all the time and goes to restaurants and likes to try new restaurants and see what other people are doing I really appreciate the fact that he also does the same. He goes places, he tries things and it gives him new perspective. And it shows that he really is into perfecting his craft. Bottom line if you're in the area you should go. If you're not in the area and you have nothing else to do you should probably still go! Everything is great and fresh and they are super friendly and helpful As with everything there's always a con. My only complaint would be that the baker wasn't wearing a mask but maybe where they are, you might not need to. I don't know what the numbers are there.
