This place is the best! Their baked goods and breads are top notch. Every time I have been there, the store was beautifully decorated. I highly recommend stopping by to anyone who is nearby!

Nice selection of specialty cupcakes, moist and delicious.

Cheddar bread is huge and moist inside and crispy outside. Cupcake is fluffy and not overly sweet. Cinnamon roll and pecan ban are indulgent. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The store is cozy and elegant.

My favorite cinnamon rolls. Delicious cupcakes, bread, and more. Also we've tried several freezer meals and liked them all and thought they were a good value for the price!

A great place to find gifts. Their cranberry nut bread is delicious as are their take home meals, especially their ham balls

Best cupcakes ever! Even the gluten free melt in your mouth. The cookies are also delicious! I make this a semi-weekly stop partly for the ambiance and to see what creative idea Lori has cooked up.

Cute shop with a variety of Iowa themed items and other pieces such as soap, jewelry, and decor. Also a bakery offering treats like cookies, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and breads. We bought a white baguette and although it sounds simple it is incredibly tasty and super fresh! Looking forward to trying the cinnamon rolls we also bought! The cashier was really bright and friendly, which was appreciated. Definitely worth the drive for a visit!

AMAZING homemade cupcakes!!!! We actually went back in the purchase more after trying them outside! the blueberry/lemon and strawberry were DELISH!!!!! Price was very reasonable at $2 each and packed very well in to go boxes since we were from Chicago. Also the lady at the counter was very patient and really nice with us - it was her 3rd day on the job!

We just popped in at the last minute. And we're bedazzled by the eclectic assortment of home goods and essentials. They had the baked goods from their bakery, wine and edibles, and antiques. As well as all this their displays were so unique and really showed a very refined taste. Looking forward to returning.

Food was terrible. Got premade meals from a friend after my wife gave birth. $20 PER meal and it had no seasoning and portions were AWFUL. Will never get food from here again.
