“Looking for a good “Chicken Breast Sandwich,” or A “tasty Barbecue Bacon Burger” with delicious toppings the drive up to B-Bops on 73rd is the place. All fast foods may have the same name, but the staff and the care for the signature product may be different. At 73rd the staff cares about the presentation of the product as well as assembling a well made entree. The flavors are on an average on par thanks to management making sure the products are fresh and the staff continuously well trained even in their appearance. It says a lot about their fast food. They care in what they deliver to you. Nice work on consistently serving up good burgers and customer service.”

“The food is amazing every time I get from here. Delivery is almost always fast. Even if it does take a little longer than usual, the food always arrives in fantastic condition and at perfect temperature. Definitely my favorite Chinese restaurant”

“Great store with friendly staff!”

“It’s nothing fancy, but the ice-cream is always delicious. I like that there’s always new flavors but often your tried and true are always there. We really like the ice cream pizzas for birthdays. I like that I can pick up a quart to bring home too. Don’t expect frills. Just good ice cream.”

“I visit this subway location frequently inside Walmart. The staff is super friendly and nice. When I order online, my meal is always ready to go and made perfectly! Everything is also very clean! I highly recommend this Subway location!”

“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.”

“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 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!”
