Cinnamon Roll

“One of the few places in the Des Moines, IA area where you can get Cinnabons.
It's in a truck stop, so there's nothing to complain about the atmosphere. The service was not very communicative, but we got what we wanted.

Note: These cinnamon sticks are huge!“

“I made an order to pickup and when I walked in the door there were 5 employees and not a single one acknowledged me in any way. Not one smile or even eye contact. They were all very busy working and I get that but it only takes a second to acknowledge a customer. The cookies look fantastic and taste amazing. No complaints about the product but I do think the customer experience is not great due to being ignored by the staff.“

Sweet Treat without Wheat Bakery • $
2809 Arthur Ave, Des Moines - 4.88 miles

“I cannot say enough great things about Sweet Treat without Wheat! I had the pleasure of trying their cinnamon sugar donuts, and they were absolutely delicious—soft, flavorful, and perfectly sweet without being too heavy. You’d never guess they’re gluten-free!

What made the experience even more special was the incredible generosity of the owner. Despite the bakery being located in Iowa, she went above and beyond to get the donuts to me all the way in Aruba.

If you’re looking for amazing gluten-free treats made with love, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to try more of their baked goods!“
