11 Best Bakeries in Ankeny

“I just went today for the first time….all I can say is thank God I live in Waukee and have to drive to them, otherwise I would be there every day! My experience was amazing. Macaroons being gluten free are an added bonus too. I am using them for my son’s Wedding Rehearsal dessert coming up. 10 out 10 5⭐️ Loved all the options.“

“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.“

“Good quality, fresh and mostly organic ingredients with many choices of toppings. I also like the pizza roll, the drinks, and the cookie dough. This place is fast and delicious!“

“Amy’s work is top notch. She has made our daughter’s birthday cakes every year, we don’t even need to discuss where we are getting our cake from. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Alyssa with The Sweetest Thing made our cutting cake for our October 2022 wedding, and she did an outstanding job! She was by far the easiest vendor to work with. She even included a little extra bakery treat with our order, along with helping me safely load the cake into my vehicle. She was great, and the naked cake we ordered was perfect!“

“Stopped by at the farmers market today, great prices and delicious cookies!“

“If you're craving something sweet, and you love cookies, this place in Ankeny's District is a must visit. I loved my initial visit and will return again soon! Great interior, helpful staff, and a fantastic number of options. I had a Space Brownie, which was an incredible mesh of fudge and M&Ms.“

“They are so so awesome & need to go to get our favorite“

“I drive rideshare. I had never heard of Main Street Cafe and Bakery until a few days ago when I dropped a couple of young people off who work there. I asked about it, and they were excited to tell me their favorite items. Yesterday I dropped a nice employee off and I looped around and went to the drive through, intending to order something to share with my wife. I didn't see the dessert items on the menu, so I asked and the young lady named pretty much everything from cookies to cinnamon rolls, etc. She was efficient yet not rude, and I knew they were starting to get busy so I decided quickly on some cookies. I ordered my wife and I one each of the "Monster" and "Chocolate Chip" cookies, so I could surprise her when she got off work that day. long story short, the service was fast and friendly, and we both enjoyed the cookies. We look forward to exploring more of your menu.“

“The Asian server was super nice, all smiles, and accommodating! The food came in fast. Something that we seldom experience on the Southside.“

“Had 2 desserts for our Christmas dinner. They were both absolutely amazing! Will definitely be purchasing more.“
