A wonderful Parisian style little cafe with a wide selection of mouthwatering pasties, both sweet and savory.If the weather is warm, their outside seating area is excellent to soak in the sun while sipping on an espresso and a delicious croissant. The croissant are as good as they come around here. Flaky, buttery, and a medium between crunchy and chewy. Just made right by a crew of excellent bakers whom you can see hard at work when you make your orders.If it’s a typical cold Iowa morning, stay inside in their small space with little space in between tables. If you have never been to a cafe in Europe or elsewhere in the world, you may lose your big American Midwest privacy. I don’t mind the small spaced, it makes for real human interactions. Whether I’m reading a book or finishing up a work report.If you go there and you don’t order their quiche…I seriously doubt the soundness of your food choices. And their baguettes sandwiches are best dipped in a freshly brewed hot cup of black coffee. Do so and you are solid for the day.Finally, if you are weird like me and appreciate fine china, do marvel over their beautiful plates.
Disorganized and overcrowded. Cake is good and fairly priced. Clientele are pretentious and rude.

My Son and I love going to Deluxe to get delicious Macaroons. Everything here looks divine and I can't wait to try it all. Definitely one of Iowa City's hidden gems.

My husband and I always try to find little independent shops and small businesses no matter if we travel close to home or thousands of miles away.I had to go go Iowa City for a follow-up with my surgeon for my knee replacement and I wanted a pastry or donut and not just a chain shopI was giggling and came across this little gem.Before we even made it all the way into the door we were greeted by several people and they engaged us in conversation.They have a very cute little shop and a great variety of sweet and savory options.We would definitely go back there again if we are back in Iowa City when they're open.
Chose Deluxe to make a birthday cake for my husband while we were visiting town and we were super pleased with how they turned out! We got the red velvet and funfetti. They were super busy for a Saturday morning which is great, and they still had a ton of products in their case. Will be back!

Best birthday cake ever! Chocolate raspberry perfection- dense, moist and beautifully decorated. I can't wait for another birthday to roll around.
OMG!!! The cake is phenomenal, totally spot on, not overly sweet and moist!! Jaime the owner was so nice and friendly. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. A large variety of pastries and cake to choose from and the latte was just as good. We would definitely recommend!!

They talk about customers rudely within ear shot and expect employees to train themselves.

Honestly bakery is great, food is tasty,crew is great,the owner is awesome BUT PARKING LOT IS HORRIBLE. Every time I go there I have to spend at least additional $20 for washing my car inside and outside. Sorry but I'm done visiting this place until parking lot is in better shape.
