    How many local places deliver cookies! I know one that does, and they even come in a really cool little oven, so you get them fresh and hot right out of the oven! If Ice Cream sandwiches are more your game, Thelma's has got you covered there as well! They don't skimp on the Ice Cream, and I think it so cool you can find these local faves all over town in coffee shops or grocery stores! Perfect sweets for a wedding reception or that boring business meeting you have to provide food for! Everyone loves cookies!

    The delivered WARM cookies come in these cute oven boxes and cold milk. The best thing you can send someone. Really.

    This is a Des Moines staple. If you're in the East Village DEFINITELY stop in for a warm cookie. Any are good, but chocolate chip isn't favorite. Also, it's always an extra special treat to receive, or send, the warm cookies with cold milk. Just be sure to plan ahead - they need advanced notice to place delivery orders. It's much tastier than flowers, and the recipient can share. (No, really, you get a lot of cookies). My only notes of criticism: While their cookies are phenomenal, there isn't a lot of variety like you'd find at a cupcake shop, for example. But, that's their business model and it works. Also, the cream sandwiches are hard (saw that in a previous review), but not an obstacle that prevents me from eating. :-)

    Tried the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie very delicious. I've never had these but have walked past them many times at the store. Way better than any ice cream stand. Satisfies the craving.

    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.
