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.

I found these authentic, delicious meat pies at the Waukee Hy Vee a few weeks ago. When I returned…read moreto restock my freezer I found none in the store. After some research, I found they are made by our friends at St Kilda. I will be ordering directly from them. On the cold, miserable winter day in Iowa, I closed my eyes and enjoyed savory meat pies and imagined I was on the beach "Down Under."

My boyfriend found PIE MATES pies at Hyvee's frozen food section. Its marketed as handcrafted by…read moreAustralian artisan bakers from a 100 year old recipe. My boyfriend bought the 14-hour braised steak (rich peppercorn reduction & balsamic infused caramelized onions). We both wanted to try it so we split it in half and the half portion was plenty filling for each of us AND it was absolutely delicious! When I found out it was a local brand I had to go to Hyvee to try the other flavors. So far the other flavor I've tried is the Chicken Sun dried & cherry tomatoes in a basil béchamel. It was so good! I started with a half portion but it was so good I ate the other in the same sitting. That was a mistake on my part because I was too full eating the whole thing! The pie may seem small but it is plenty filling for two meals. The nutrition facts on the back are based on a half serving and at half size the caloric intake is over 400 calories. But it's to be expected because these things are so good! I can't wait to try the other different flavors I bought of PIE MATES from Hyvee.

There were lots of flavors and the owner had perfect mini cake portions (as well as regular sizes). I tried the mocha and the carrot cake and they were both delicious! So light and fresh with decadent flavor. It left me feeling satisfied but not heavy. It was not overly sweet which I enjoyed. The texture of the frosting was almost like whipped cream, yet it was still buttery and flavorful. Plus, he did such an amazing job making my sisters wedding cake vision come to life!

We were greeted when we walked in and seated immediately. They placed warm pida bread with olive oil on our table - it was fantastic! Our server was very polite and made a few suggestions.

The grape leaves (pictured) tasted like they came out of a can, absolute mush and tasteless. Took one bite and threw them away.

This is a beautiful way to experience authentic French baking right here in Des Moines. Nadia's…read moreFrench Bakery has become a beloved neighborhood staple, and one visit makes it clear why. 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.
