The selection was great as the Valentine's themed donuts are cute! It's just about $19 for a dozen donuts, which seems a bit steep, but it's a chain, so it's kind of expected lol. The donuts are worth it though. I also got an iced matcha latte which was really good! I opted for French vanilla to be added, which made it a bit sweet for me, but that's not on them; I just know for next time not to add it :) The donuts were light and fluffy (as donuts should be) and there was plenty of glaze! All of it was definitely delicious!!! Service: The staff were all really patient with how indecisive we were lol. They greeted us with a smile when we entered and answered our questions with kindness. They also let us be while we were looking at the menu, so there wasn't any added pressure as if they were trying to hurry us out of there. Our to-go order was packed nicely and the extra napkins were an added plus lol. Ambiance: Inside, the tables were clean and so was the floor. It smelled wonderful and was pretty well organized. Also, it wasn't busy (probably because it was earlier), so it wasn't really loud inside. The menu is really easy to read and almost all of the donuts were properly labeled. It's bright with plenty of room for people to dine-in without being crammed together, and the WiFi is a nice added touch.

Stopped in to check this out after having a great lunch at the neighbor Noodle Zoo…read more Was a little disappointed that they don't have anything that is gluten free. The cupcakes are crazy fancy and look super rich. I did try a cake ball and it was okay. I am not sure if i am ready to upgrade to the whole cupcake yet. The staff was very kind.

This is the first cupcake place I've been to that has that many options for cupcakes, cake pops, and pretzel sticks. We bought a few of each type. Loved them all. Kids loved the pretzel sticks a lot. Definitely will come back in the future.

I am from CA and I have been looking for a donut shop like we have in CA and FINALLY there is one…read moreand RIGHT IN MY TOWN!!! This place is definitely packed on the weekend morning so go early. But the coffee is made fresh. They have the basic donuts, classic, and crazy with cereal. They have breakfast sandwhiches, boba and milk tea. Everyone is super friendly and fast. There is no seating inside to sit and enjoy your donut there but I always take my on the go. This is definitely a weekly visit for me now!

humble donuts? more like pretentious donuts. I had an overall awful experience with their customer…read moreservice. the man running the company was sarcastic and something as I can only describe as white rich man funny. They open at ten, but the hours weren't posted clearly and the interaction with the guy behind the counter was awful. I would never run my business in this fashion. Also what bakery place doesn't open until 10? Not a good business model in the slightest. Lots of things we could improve on humble. I'm insanely disappointed

Super bummed out about this place. We wanted donuts not from a gas station, so we checked this…read moreplace out on our way out of town for the day. Super loud door chime when we came in, but literally no one was there. This place also housed a yogurt business, orange leaf. All of the yogurt fixings were clean and prepped and ready but looking at the donut fixings, it was messy and empty. We called out "hello" loudly and several times, but no answer. We could hear people talking in the back though. There was a space heater on behind the counter and someone's purse sitting on the back counter, so I know at least someone was there. We knocked on the counter and still nothing. So we left. No donuts for us!

Drove all the way from then south side to Ankeny for the delicious donuts per a FB food group post…read more These seem to be popular for their glazed donut. We tried a glazed, apple fritter, & cinnamon twist. The twist was amazing! The glazed did not disappoint. The service was great, super friendly. We went an hour before closing & they still had lots to choose from. We will definitely go back, worth the drive for sure! The inside is small but has seating for at least 10 guests I'd say. Milk was also available! Definitely check them out for your donut fix no matter where you're from!

A couple weeks back I caught the Mactopia food truck in West Des Moines…read more The truck's staff was friendly, the wait was short, and the portions are hefty. You end up full. A good bang for your buck if you can get past that this isn't a 99 cent box of Hy-Vee mac n cheese that costs cents for a portion instead of dollars. I had the Utopian Bacon BBQ Brisket mac n cheese. Bacon, beef brisket, BBQ sauce, yellow onion, and chopped pickle (sweet relish). I wish I could catch this truck a few more times. The Utopian was really good. If you've ever had a Southern themed nachos this flavor profile will be familiar to you. Mac n cheese is one of those classic dishes, but it can be prepared so many different ways. Mactopia's menu offers a few unique spins that I've never tried before. Keep an eye on their Facebook page. They're pretty good about posting their schedule and location. https://www.facebook.com/Mactopia-Food-Truck-100101332659378/

Once I arrived at Campbell Park and saw the lineup they were offering, I had a hard time choosing which to try first. Ultimately, I settled on Paradise...as in Cheeseburger in. It was a Cheeseburger Mac, and it was extremely tasty. The portion size satisfying, and the service was extremely friendly. Hope to see them again next week, and I've followed on Facebook so I can catch them around town. If you like Mac and Cheese, give Mactopia a try for a gourmet take on your favorite comfort food!

Stopped in on a whim to see what exactly type of business this was. Lo and behold it's a bakery of…read moresorts. Although judging by the selection in the afternoon I would call it more of a dessert place. Everything looked pretty incredible, we bought a honey cherry cake, a cream covered lemon thing that has meringue for its base a chocolate croissant and German chocolate cake all by the slice. Everything was amazing. Prices are reasonable, think 3-6 ish per item. Right in front of the Walmart. Will be a frequent stop! Next time I'll take photos!

I was in Des Moines for a hockey game, and after seeing some of their social media posts, I decided…read morethat I needed to check out this unique dessert stop. Because I was there on Valentine's Day, I actually made it there before they opened. I was not alone in this plan. It's one of those shops that start with a set amount of items when they open, and when they're gone, they're gone. I think I would have been happy with anything in the case, but I ended up with a raspberry fruit dessert and German chocolate cake. Their viral fruit desserts are probably the most expensive thing in the case, but I don't know where else you can find them. Inside my fruit was a delicious raspberry mousse. If you happen to stop by and they're already out of fruits for the day, the German chocolate cake was good, too. It's not the same wow factor, but I still enjoyed it. Now, I wouldn't suggest making a trip all the way from St. Louis like I did, but I think it's worth a special trip if you happen to be in Des Moines
