La Mie Bakery

Best bakery I've ever been to, hands down! I absolutely love their pastries and their pre-made sandwiches. The bread is fantastic, and they are very quick and efficient. They are always seemingly busy, which makes me hopeful they'll be around for a long time. Highly recommend!

Pretty crowded when we were there. So kinda noisy and they don't have a lot of seating and the line was pretty long. But it was so worth it. The food is incredible

This is the first time I've sat down for a meal here. I've been to this La Mie location twice before, but just got pastries to go. The line was kind of confusing on a busy Sunday morning. There were a bunch of people waiting for to-go orders so that made it more difficult to discern where to join the queue. If the line is long then you inevitably land in front of the pastry counter where you can choose your own croissants, tarts, etc. to be wrapped up before you wait in the same line to pay. Or, you can forgo the pastries and just order hot food at the main counter. You can also pick up some take-and-bakes along with other prepared foods.

We decided to dine-in so they assigned us a table number. The food came out quickly! My Quiche Florentine was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! My boyfriend got a Southwestern Scramble that he also enjoyed. The coffee is decent here and the traditional pastries are always good. The macarons are hit or miss. But, the rest, is wonderful!

I was very excited to try this place but it does not meet the hype. Staffs were nice but some of the pastries I got wasn't just good...
I ordered hot matcha latte. I barely tasted any matcha and also it was cold. I'm not sure how they steamed the milk but instead of being hot or warm, it was still cold. I didn't finish my drinks.

I was super surprised that the Quiche & Pain chocolate had exactly the same taste as a bakery from my original country 🇫🇷
So if someone wants to have a French Bakery experience in Iowa, it’s definitely the place to go!
