I've been going to Chef Sergei's for about a year. I have to say that they are expensive but their…read morebread is far superior to anyone else's bread in town. The problem is that I have become addicted. I've learned to slice half a baguette or stow away a half a loaf in the freezer - precut - and then put slices in the toaster. There are no preservatives so you have to do this or eat the bread quickly. The baguette and the sourdough are the same dough. I ma addicted to the double chocolate cookies and my wife likes the lemon cookies. There are some awesome sandwiches too. I pay a lot for bread but it's really good. I have to feed my addiction!!!

Certainly way better than buying baked goods at a grocery store. It's kind of dark and dingy looking on the inside and the outside is in need of some cleanup of the overgrown grass and weeds. The lady that was there was not terribly friendly and barely could bring herself to speak. I found that a bit awkward when I was in there.

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

I needed a cake for my husband's graduation party, and my MIL got this recommendation from her…read morefriend in-the-know... and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome if I'd chosen it myself based on 400 5-star yelp reviews! From my first call to the pick up of the cake, this shop staff was beyond friendly and professional. Their cake and filling choices were mind-boggling (I swear I drooled when they mentioned chocolate mousse cake and chocolate buttercream frosting... but I digress) - I ended up going with vanilla cake and white buttercream to please Ken, but I rebelled slightly, adding a thin layer of strawberry preserves above the inner layer of frosting. Their half sheet cake comes with two layers not the more popular one layer, and feeds 40-50 (we had 40 family members at the party, and there was at least 1/3rd of the cake left). Their 'normal' decoration on top is gorgeous. Gorgeous. Fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries - some of it sparkle sugared) and dark chocolate accents. $50. I have no idea if that's expensive or not, but I'd buy another cake from Petit 4 in a heartbeat! OK, on to the flavor, which is most important after all (a gorgeous cake only gets you so far). Tender, airy, spongy cake with a definite vanilla flavor. The frosting... absolute perfection. No grit. No crunchy outside. No teeth squeekingly sweet, fake frosting here! Light, smooth, creamy. You can tell you ate some dessert, but you won't feel (that) guilty. Guests had seconds and took home slices too.
