La Mie Bakery

The bakery aesthetic was wonderful but the music did not fit and was a little too loud. The bakery items here were wonderful but the non-bakery items was subpar. We ordered the breakfast croissant, the salmon omelette and macaroons. It was not worth the money for the meal but the macaroons were wonderful. Overall, great place for certain items but not necessarily lunch.

Incredible baked goods and menu items. Everything I've tried was delicious, including the coffee.

La Mie is the best bakery in Des Moines. Delicious pastries, sandwiches, and so much more.

This bakery is a slice of heaven. All the pastries are beautiful and delicious, and the menu is fantastic, too.

Hmm... can't believe I haven't reviewed La Mie yet... hands down the best bakery in Des Moines. My favorite item is the ham and cheese croissant. There always seems to be a line at the register and there never seems to be enough tables during weekend brunch. However, patience will pay off as stuffing one's face with La Mie pastries will make every bit of cheating during cheat day worth it. Parking can be difficult, so be sure to look for parking in both the front and rear lots.

This bakery has some really tasty options in the menu but when I was there (party of 6) the ordering and service felt a bit disorganized. The manager and stuff are very attentive though.

Loved this place when I was last in town! They have a wonderful selection of pastries. Two kinds of drip coffee when I was there

Went to La Mie for the first time today and really enjoyed our breakfast! I even tried avocado toast with my daughter, and the hype is real, it was actually good, a nice clean taste. I would definitely good back and recommend this place to others. If you buy a croissant from the stand inside, dont forget to ask them to warm it up for you.

I have never been to another bakery with both the assortment of pastries and desserts that La Mie has or the quality. The pastries are truly divine. La Mie means something about the inside of bread, and they deserve the name because WOW! My favorite is the blueberry danish.They have great coffee and espresso, maybe slightly pricey for Des Moines, but definitely not unreasonable. They also have hot food options for breakfast and lunch and outdoor seating during nice weather. They are usually jam packed at breakfast time, you might have trouble finding a seat.

Love the pastries here, and their salad are awesome to take for lunch. Try the cheese danish - best in town!

Very kind and friendly people and amazing taste of pastries! Healthy local bakery in Iowa

What a delicious place to meet up with friends for a breakfast or just a coffee. Being from the East coast, this is a refreshing and mildly overwhelming place to get a danish or great baked good. Overwhelming because you just don’t want to choose wrong. Go and check it out next time you drive by, and there are some other cute shops to visit while you are there! I know I will be visiting again soon!!

I was overwhelmed when I walked in and a woman came to help me right away. Prices are similar to a Panera bread. Great food and pastry. I LoVe their back patio, feels like you're at a pier.

Beautiful food-- I couldn't decide on a pastry for a solid 5 minutes because it all looks so good! Fresh squeezed orange juice and yummy coffee complemented my eventual decision of an almond croissant. Only complaint is that it's often hard to find a seat during peak hours 😁

Stopped in for the first time and was shocked to see the large crowd and menu! We had a delicious lunch and grabbed a chocolate truffle cake for a birthday later that night (which was a hit). There were many people there but you would never know by the efficient service.

The food here is always top notch, however; the staff could be more personable. I suggest smiling more, greeting your customers, and saying thank you. Not sure who owns the tables outside but they are in terrible shape. Never clean and always off balance.

Solid baked goods Modern eatery. Excellent croissant and puff pastry. Beautiful cakes. Great service, friendly staff. Salad ratios off a bit. Too many toppings not enough greens - if that can even count as a deficiency. Interesting drink options. Go, just go and give it a whirl.

I will always patronize a French bakery if I can find one where my travels take me. La Mie ranks highly in the French boulangerie/deli category for me. Great bread, pastries and excellent breakfast and lunch options. Maybe dinner too but not sure. I'll be back.

The absolute best place to get pastries and bread!! Delicious!! Closest to real french pastries and cookies that I've had in Des Moines!!

Favorite! Staff is amazing! Owners are great people!

If you want a authentic pastries that are fresh and delicious you have to come here. Also, there are some cute shops in the same area. If you can't find parking in the front, you can park in the back. It's also a great place for breakfast and lunch. I recommend the avocado on toast!

Great food! Bacon & Swiss quiche was delicious! Service is quick. Will certainly be back!

If you just got back from Europe and are missing fresh baked French bread and pastries, this is the place to go. Menu items are delicious, too.

Wide selection of delicious baked goods. Also eggs, meat, salmon, and other substantial breakfast options.

Absolutely a must eat at establishment! The manager was very kind, the staff are very courteous. Cheesecake is outstanding. I had the French ham and it was perfect.

I had breakfast here which consisted of scrambled eggs, potatoes, asparagus, mushrooms (yuck) and cheddar cheese. It came with one slice of buttered toast. Coffee is self serve - not hot enough for me.

Excellent local bakery! I've gone here dozens of times and they always deliver. Best pastries in Des Moines and great food options for a cafe.

Not a bad place for pastries and coffee.... Staff can be a little snotty but for the most part it's a good place to go. I ordered the French toast on separate occasions and one time it was absolutely delicious... They other time the bread was different and burned.

Pecan rolls are great. It doesn't get better than this! You really can't go wrong with any of the pastries.

If it's superior baked goods you're looking for, this IS the place! It's always hard to choose from the vast array of sticky rolls, croissants, and fruit filled danish. Our selections this day were delicious, as always. The vibe here is very lively and on the loud side, which is not our personal preference. Plenty of parking behind the building. Bon appetit!

4 star for food, 2 star for the staff with glasses who requested my baby and my husband and my father to leave the table while I was ordering on the counter. This was so rude and I got no apology.Reply to the owner, the waiter at the check out had got the number before we were “expelled” . We had to change the table number and later got the same size table. As a first time customer, no one explained the policy to us. We tried not to block the way and made the order as soon as possible. The staff with glasses was so cold and suspiciously racist.

Its Michael, the Guy @ la mie! O yes, the Absolute Best way to start a new day!Rest and enjoy #4 😊 its my favorite!

Best bakery in Des Moines. Best time to go for full spread of items is Saturday morning.

Incredible food. I didn't much care for french toast until I tried theirs.

Very delicious everything! Great place for lunch with friends. Healthy options. Very busy.

First time coming here and everything was excellent! Will definitely be back!

Tons of freshly baked options at a reasonable price. We weren’t as impressed with their coffee, but the pastries themselves are delicious. Chocolate croissants are a must, but plan to buy at least two or three items if you’re passing through for the first time, as they’re all uniformly good.

If you want a fresh loaf of bread, go here. If you love chocolate croissants, go here. Great food. Great atmosphere. Nice folks.

Amazing Everything!!! The bakery, the menu, the atmosphere, everything about LaMie is great. Currently my favorites are the vegetable scramble, lox on toast, omelet with black beans and quinoa. Pick up any danish and prepare to sing songs of joy ;-). I can't leave without a pecan roll to go. Get there early, especially on Saturday, or your bakery selection might be limited. Enjoy!

The best pastries in the Des Moines metro. So many fresh options, great service and a clean space. Love their quinoa breakfast platter, blueberry custard pastry and ham/cheese croissants. So delicious!

Oh my!! My avocado tartine was wonderful as were the bakery items we purchased to take home with us.

Wonderful great quality pastries. Also healthy and tasty lunch menu. Can be difficult parking and crowded and loud at times...but a must go to spot!

It's not the cheapest but not too pricey either. Their bread is amazing, and a their food is delicious. The whole environment is nice and refreshing and everything seems to be made fresh.

Best pastries in the whole city! Can’t beat em! Breakfast and lunch entrees and sandwiches are delicious! Can’t beat it for French pastries!!

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Des Moines. The pastries are absolutely the best. They are fresh and the demand is evident. They have very good lunches. When we would visit my mother, this was one location that made here happy.

Busy, but the pastries are amazing!

Not to be snarky, but if you have to ask about La Mie, you haven't been. It defies description. Just go. And EAT.
