For my birthday, they made a lovely…read morevegan spice cake with a vegan cream cheese frosting, made-to-order out of consideration for my various dietary restrictions (vegan and nut-free, to be specific). It was not only absolutely delicious and beautifully decorated (as is standard for them, if you take a look at their photos), but made within a very restricted time frame. The executive chef, Nik Pugmire, was gracious and accommodating, and is clearly exceptionally talented. Des Moines is very lucky to have a bakery like this call it home, and I hope the very best for it!

This was one of our last stops before leaving Des Moines. We picked up several items:…read more 1) milk bread with ube 2) milk bread with red beans 3) ube rice krispie treats 4) milk bread cinnamon roll 5) scotcheroo 6) matcha Blondies with white chocolate chips Coming from Chicago, it is relatively easy to come across milk bread and/or baked goods with ube and matcha. The first three items did not have a strong flavor profile and therefore didn't leave much of an impression with us. The ube in the rice krispie treats was very subtle and I'm not sure what the black components were. It looked like black sesame but we couldn't taste it. The latter three items were more appealing.

The cookies tasted good but be prepared to pay $5/cookie. We also got some icecream and it was…read moregood. The scoops were tiny so three scoops might be equivalent to a big scoop at most places. 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. The cashier didn't know how to help so maybe try creating an account online. Ambiance is okay. It's tiny and there's no room to eat there.

This was an extremely odd experience, the service was absolutely horrid. Both employees working…read morewere completely mute and looked at us like we were crazy when we asked a question about if a cookie was in stock still, with no response like we were invisible. it was almost like they were on drugs it was extremely bizarre. They just stared at us blankly, and to top it all off the girl working the register and serving us sneezed on her sleeve then proceeded to wipe it with her hands and say "ew" and then went right back to working and touching things and food with the snot she just wiped on her shirt sleeve and hands. 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.

Wowwww! First time visiting and first experience with purchasing a Tres Leches cake here…read more Absolutely amazing. I've had tres leches cakes from Mexican restaurants and this one was very comparable to our favorite restaurants. I couldn't believe how fast I was able to get a cake. I made a call at 2pm and was able to pick up by 5:30pm before they closed at 6pm. Excellent customer service and excellent tres leches cake. Spent $40 for a cake that serves 8-10 people. I didn't ask for a designed cake. Just plain white. I will definitely order here again and highly recommend.

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!

It used to be a place one would be so excited to go to because you just knew you were going to get an exception experience and meal that you will be dreaming about for weeks. However that was far from what we got. It was a very mediocre steak with ok scallops. It hurt my heart knowing the $250 buys you just ok food with a lovely view. My heart is sad today.

If I were to go here again, I would probably try a different menu item. The waffle was good, but nothing special. As for the smoothie, it was good. It was pretty strong on the coconut, but good. I believe they serve a hailey Bieber smoothie dupe, if I were to know that beforehand I would have got that. The place is decorated well and is cute. I'm rating it the way it is based on my opinion of other favorites in the area as this is more pricey than most breakfast places in the area.

In terms of food, this place has been a bit of a hit or miss for me. The first time we stopped by, we had smoothies, and they were delicious, creamy, and not too artificially sweet, yummy but still felt healthy at the same time. The second time, we tried their coffee and waffles. The latte was good, and I liked their seasonal flavor options. Unfortunately, the gingerbread waffle we tried was practically inedible, wayyyy too spiced, to the point it tasted medicinal. The pomegranate seeds on top, which looked pretty at first, were actually soft and mushy, clearly not fresh. That said, I'm still willing to come back for another smoothie, because those were really good.
