“When my husband and I stopped at the Casey’s in Cumming, Iowa today, there was no cheese pizza. The kitchen employee told me he’d make another one quickly. I told him it wasn’t necessary, but he jumped right in and produced a cooked pizza in short order—great customer service! There were 2 other employees who were equally helpful and cheerful. Good positive vibes fr staff—I will remember them.”

“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.”

“We became super fan of this restaurant since the first visit ❣️ Our babies are now eating here and love it. Good place for Family and friends. Incredible atmosphere ❤️”

“This restaurant notified us, after we ordered online for delivery, that they believed our driver took our order. They called to tell us that before we even had a chance to believe there was a problem, and fully communicated what the issue was. They remade our order and it was delivered less than a half hour after they discovered the issue. Superior customer service. Highly recommend.”

“Fuzzy's crew totally nailed it! Mad props! Their menu's kinda wild, right? Like, tons of choices and I got this food allergy thing, BUT... The cashier was super cool, helped me find something safe to grub on. And the food? Seriously mind-blowing! Fuzzy's DSM? Man, they didn't disappoint! I'm definitely heading back for more!”

“We are new to the area, and ordered take out last night for dinner. It was absolutely delicious! The food quality and value was incredible 🤤 We highly recommend that you try it because you won't be disappointed.”

“We were in Des Moines for a soccer tournament and ran across you guys. I was diagnosed with celiac 3 years ago and you guys made hands down the best GF burger and tots I have had in 3 years. That includes better than in n out burger since you guys actually have a bun and they don’t. It’s also the best gf bread I have found in 3 years. I hope to someday make it back again!”

“The staff is super friendly food is so good!!!”

“Thanks Cheese Bar for the great food and accommodating our little one. she loved the kids cheese plate!”

“ChuChu Donuts is a true gem! They have a blueberry fritter which is quite delicious. Recently, I tried the maple cronut on a whim and found it to be light, layered and wonderful. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. ChuChu Donuts has become a must stop on my travels to Des Moines.”

“This little hidden gem is amazing. The food and service is excellent. I drive an hour just to eat here. Oh and today, I found frozen cannoli's..must be heaven at a Taste of Italy ?”

“Izumi has the best sushi! 10/10 recommended.”

“Was looking for a better coffee place to support -rather than a corporation that funds unethically internationally, or a local place that treats their employees horribly. I love that Mayalu is local, delicious, and invested in the community. Feels good to spend my treat money here ☕️ 🥮.”

“The atmosphere and drinks are top notch. I can't say the same for service. Apparently it is acceptable to not ask if our group would like anything else AND for the tab to be tossed on our table while walking by? Yes, I am still that person that tips at least 20% because I understand we all have "off" days but that is no excuse. It would have been 100% if the service was there.”

“Beautiful roasts, great pour overs, delicious shots and Gibraltars. Best in the state that I’ve found! Keep it up guys. Omg and the scones…perfect.”

“Had a great meal today at the AG. I had a pineapple burger and it was excellent. The group of 7 I was with had chicken, burgers and a club along with buffalo chicken dip and spinach dip all was very good and service was outstanding. We will be back”

“Dined in onFriday 5/29/26 and I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Everything we ordered was full of flavor, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

What really made our visit special was the exceptional service from Amilia. Loved her beautiful accent and She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her positive attitude and professionalism truly stood out and made us feel valued as customers.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and outstanding customer service. Thank you, Amilia, for making our experience so enjoyable—we will definitely be back!”

“Wonderfully kind staff, our first visit was perfect. We tried thier seasonal smores latte and its the best I ever had. I recommend any of their crepes!”

“My family and I recently stopped at Smash Park in Des Moines on a whim for some family fun and food. The atmosphere was laid back and our kids thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor pickle ball courts and the arcade. Food, dessert and drinks were all crowd pleasers! And to go completely over the top, we left our blanket outside and Jerry answered my phone call, went outside to retrieve it from the bench where I left it, and mailed it back to me free of charge. In a world where kindness and customer support are harder and harder to come by, Jerry and Smash Park get a 10/10 from this family!!!”

“This coffee shop has it all! 1. The best coffee, specifically the cold brew latte is AMAZING! Second is Spanish Latte when I need something hot. 2. The best hospitality team! I can't say enough great things about Jack and Macie and the rest of the baristas! 3. The owner has created an atmosphere that you can't find at other coffee shops. This place is truly one of a kind!”

“Wow. I had heard such amazing things about this place but words just don’t do it justice.

You might think you’re walking into the wrong room.. don’t worry, you’ll soon be greeted by a kind host who will assess your wait and guide you to a place where you can comfortably wait for a table.

Get some excellent drinks and be sure you’re ready to eat. Steak De Burgo, Parmesan Artichoke Dip, Red Velvet Cake?? This is the best damn spot I’ve been to in a minute.”
