“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.“

“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.“

“Just stopped in for the first time and WOW!!! These macarons are absolutely INCREDIBLE! If I lived closer, I would genuinely be here every single day. I love all of the flavors I picked out, but they gave me a free Cinnamon Bun macaron to try and it was easily the best thing I have eaten in a very very long time. I will be anxiously awaiting the next time I have an excuse to run to Ankeny and pick more of these up! Edited to add: I was so excited about the macarons that I forgot to comment on the delicious coffee I got! I tried The Good Day and it is SO yummy, would definitely recommend if you like your coffee on the sweeter side :)“

“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.“

“Would highly recommend I have came here 3x now and never any issues. I got a cookie that’s suppose to have a lemon on them and they were quick to fix the mistake would recommend to anyone. There is a bunch of cookie places but this trumps all them!“

“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.“

“Chacha puts her heart and soul into her community, as well as the baked goods she has in the case. Her cinnamon rolls are massive, a too sweet, and make any Midwest chili night a core memory. The vanilla iced coffee to go keeps you awake on a long road trip and the cookies I brought home hours away were a delightful treat for our young one.“

“Wonderful Mexican bakery! The best part? Very clean. The lady behind the counter was super kind when we asked her about certain items and she kept cleaning and wiping things down. We got some bolillos and conchas. The worst part? There is only street parking but we found a spot right in front.“

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!!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!!“
“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!!!“
“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!“
“We were married 10/24, and Chef Nik did our cake and cookies (we had cookies and milk for dessert). The cake was BEAUTIFUL and everything we wanted and then some. It tasted even better, and everyone loved the cookies (like, we had zero leftovers..). HIGHLY recommend Nik for all your dessert needs!“

“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.“

“We chose Molly’s for our wedding cakes and boy did people really chow those down. The cakes for our guests were amazing, but our wedding cake was more than I could have ever imagined. They took my inspiration pictures and executed beyond belief. The cake was incredible to eat and to look at. We were speechless. I would recommend Molly’s for weddings and in general as all their items are so delicious. Thank you so much!!“

Especially at Hyvee and Fair“
