La Mie Bakery - Des Moines

Best bakery in Des Moines. Incredibly well made pastries, desserts, breads, and sandwiches. I've liked everything on the menu so far. Everything seems to be baked fresh the same day. Be prepared to arrive early because most of the fresh bread is sold out by mid-morning. Decent amount of both indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking around the back. Be prepared to wait in line for 5-10mins on a Saturday morning at the register.

What a delightful and delicious eatery. Every time I travel I'm always looking for a change of pace and La Mie did not disappoint! Delicious pastries, selection of breads and rolls, the dessert cooler had me in a trance and yup..... I couldn't resist. My fiance had the smoked salmon omlet, myself omelet, had the sausage and mushroom omelet. We both grabbed a sandwich for lunch later and I would nearly kill for another chicken salad croissant. Don't miss this one or you'll regret it.

I didn’t expect the place to be a sit-down. The atmosphere was lively. The line was fast. We got the caramel cheesecake, New York cheesecake, tiramisu and custard. They all tasted amazing. I would have to say the caramel cheesecake was my favorite.

Excellent. One of the best I’ve been to. Highly recommended. The omelettes are to die for, very authentic! The coffee is great too, they also know how to make a great flat white!

We came on a beautiful autumn Saturday morning. The place was packed with long lines (but fairly moving fast! at the coffee and bakery sections. All of our coffee and latté drinks were prepared to our full satisfaction, and the pastries were amazingly fresh and delicious. Didn't care for the noisy music at all maybe because of the high level of noise generated by the customer crowd. If you're looking for a quite and romantic place to spend with your partner perhaps I'd try weekdays and evenings. The restroom facilities are clean and tidy but could use some remodeling and modernization. Strongly recommend you pay La Mie a visit in the very near future!
