“La Mie Bakery is widely regarded as one of the finest bakeries and cafés in Des Moines, and after experiencing both the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere firsthand, it is easy to understand why it has developed such a loyal following over the years. From the moment you walk through the doors, the bakery creates an inviting and sophisticated atmosphere filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread, pastries, coffee, and handcrafted desserts. The combination of warm hospitality, exceptional baking, and attention to detail makes La Mie far more than just a neighborhood bakery — it feels like a true culinary destination.

The first thing that stands out is the extraordinary quality and freshness of the baked goods. Everything at La Mie tastes carefully crafted, using premium ingredients and traditional baking techniques that prioritize flavor, texture, and consistency. The breads are especially impressive, with perfectly crisp crusts, soft interiors, and rich flavors that showcase genuine artisan craftsmanship. Whether you choose a baguette, sourdough loaf, croissant, or specialty pastry, the quality is immediately noticeable and far superior to mass-produced bakery products.

One of the bakery’s greatest strengths is the remarkable variety available on the menu. From buttery croissants and delicate pastries to hearty sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts, every item reflects a high level of care and culinary expertise. The pastries are beautifully presented and balanced in flavor, avoiding the overly sweet taste that many commercial bakeries rely on. Instead, La Mie focuses on refined flavors and authentic baking techniques that create products which feel elegant, fresh, and genuinely satisfying.

The croissants deserve special recognition because they perfectly capture the qualities that define outstanding French-style baking. The layers are flaky, buttery, and light, with a delicate texture that practically melts in your mouth. The fruit pastries and desserts are equally impressive, offering excellent balance between sweetness, richness, and freshness. Every item feels handcrafted with precision and consistency, which speaks highly of the bakery’s commitment to maintaining professional standards.“

“Its refreshing to find places that have alternative options when it comes to the ingredients in a treat. We stumbled upon this spot by accident but im so glad we did! We are absolutly making this our spot as i frequent Iowa every year. Sending love from Texas!!!“

“I have come to this location many times and the employees are always very friendly and efficient!! The only downside to this crumbl bakery would be the location it is in such a bad spot and the parking is always super busy and very tight. I’ve almost been hit multiple times by people parking basically on top of my car.“

“It is clean and fresh with helpful and friendly staff. I biught chocolate mint fudge, chocolate chip cookies, and oreo cupcake, Yum!“

“Tasty donuts and the staff is always so sweet to my three year old!“

“First time having Turkish food, and will be back!!!!! Everything was so flavorful.“

“I recently ordered the strawberry croissant and the fruit danish pastries. Both were delicious and received rave reviews from my coworkers. I needed a pick up time before work and she was great at accommodating me. I will definitely order again!“

“Went to 5 Borough Bakery today for the first time. My husband and I went 2 hours and 45 min after opening (10:45 am) on a Saturday. Their temporary hours state they're open until 2pm, so still another 3+ hours to go. Unfortunately, they had just 6 options to choose from and said that's all they had left for the day. We chose to go with Cinnamon rolls - they've been so highly regarded, we were looking forward to trying them for ourselves. Individuals were $5, or a 6-pack was $20 (but each roll was quite a bit smaller than what is provided in the individuals). We chose the 6-pack. Once we got home, the cinnamon rolls were very dense, not fluffy, some spots were hard while others were doughy, and frosting had little flavor - a whipped butter frosting (which tasted like there wasn't any vanilla in it, very bland), instead a cream cheese or other flavorful frosting. Overall, we were pretty disappointed with the cinnamon rolls after hearing so much hype about them. This plus the lack of selection and pricing have us hesitant on giving this place another shot.“

“Customer service & donuts are 10/10 ⭐️“

“I'm about 90% sure this was at Hinterland festival and had the most amazing Vegan Gluten free cookies. I had 6 of them over the weekend. Couldn't keep my hands off these cookies!“

“The Bake Shoppe accommodated my last minute need for a birthday cake and WOW am i so glad i came across them!!! They even had cakes in a case and were able to quickly write happy birthday on it and touch it up to be so cute. I will use them for all of my cake needs!!!!“

“I was able to order a gender reveal cake for the next day, and it was beautiful! And the price point was very, very good for a very good sized cake, I was surprised! The staff was very friendly and so quick! We cut into the cake the next day and this cake was sooooo good!! Super moist and very tasty!! Absolutely recommend as we had a really great experience!!“

“Love going to the farmers market and getting a pie or 2. Never disappoint, think I've tried all of the different savory pies (yet to try to sweet ones). I'm a Brit so pie's are a taste of home, but the Aussie's have a much bigger pie culture compared to the UK. Love their sausage rolls too, best i've had outside of "Greggs" in the UK. Sadly they don't often have them at the farmers market anymore.“

“I dont give 5 stars for any company.This is far my favorite bread next Brownberry.I try to avoid not buy the company branded labels like Hyvee, Fareway or Great Value (Walmart brand). Just too bad I dont see this brand in Walmart.i know some Walmart Great Value bread is Country Hearth bread just the private labelHyvee sometimes is under Sara Lee.Just like tortilla- Mama Lupa's has there private label for HyveeSara Lee is just too expensive. Especially at Hyvee and Fair“

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

“Suzie makes the best cakes in all of Des Moines. I asked for a chocolate and raspberry cake for my birthday, and she did not disappoint! It was not only delicious but also super cute, topped with frosted flowers and sparkles! I recommend Suzie for all of your homemade baked good needs!“

“sue is friendly and awesome to work with! she made sugar cookies for my sons wedding and we received many compliments. cookies and frosting tasted amazing not to mention her creativity to decorate. we will use her again and recommend her to friends and family!!!“

“I used You Bake Me Happy for the first time this past weekend for my daughter's Bridal Shower. Very easy to work with - had great suggestions/ideas and also incorporated my ideas. She was easy to work with, communicated well and in a timely manner. Cookies were BEAUTIFUL and the guests were so impressed with the taste as well. Definitely recommend and can't wait until my next occasion to use You Bake Me Happy!!“

“Stopped in on a whim one morning because I was going to go to HyVee to get a loaf anyway but figured I'd try it out. And I was not disappointed! Even just the Honey Wheat bread is good, which is saying something. I bought a lemon poppyseed loaf I'm stoked to try out! Will be returning.“

“We used them for our son's wedding and the desserts were delicious. I would highly recommend them.“

“Immaculately clean store! Every staff person we saw greeted us warmly. Staff helped with getting food from the upper shelves and coolers (I am in a wheelchair). Check out was quick, accurate, and pleasant. Having someone help with loading the car was wonderful! Meat counter personnel were attentive and went out of their way to hand us what we ordered.“

“The food was amazing. We tried a couple different items (check photos to see what) they were are very tasty.
Only disappointment was how unclean it was. The tables were all dirty as well as the seats, trash cans were completely overflowing, and the area around the trash cans looked like they have never been wiped down.“

“I literally drive 15 mins to THIS Cinnabon, because it’s the only one in the area with FRESH baked rolls. The place is always clean (counters, condiment area, floors)
I went yesterday- staff wasn’t as chipper as the ones 2 weeks before, but by the time I left, she seemed a bit friendlier.
The customer service is just as important as the food.
I’ve never tried the Auntie Ann’s at this location, but it sure smells good!
I pray this location never closes because the one in Altoona is NOT fresh. The one in Jordan Creek Mall is never open.“

“Best Meat Market around! I plan all my meals by your weekly specials!“

“We love Wilson’s! Wonderful place to shop for local goods, beautiful scenery, fun for the kids & parents too! Great food (and desserts!) and amazing service!“

“My favorite Fast and Fresh. When the Fast and Fresh across from Bucs arena said their kitchen was closed, the gentlemen at the Merle Hay Fast and Fresh said "we'll make it". I go there all the time and I have never had a bad experience!“

“I bring my mother to this Perkins each week. We both feel the food is excellent. I would also like to say any server we have is good, but I would like to give special recognition to your server Tracy (#131). She always makes usa feel at home, besides giving excellent service. Way to go Tracy ! Kevin Downs“
