What an amazing spot. The monkey bread was amazing. Super crisp but still extremely soft with the perfect balance of textures. I really loved the caramel bottom that added an incredible toffee like texture.
I also really loved the blueberry pinwheel. Amazing layers and the filling was perfectly balanced in sweetness.
The coffee was perfect. I got the honey bee and it was everything I hoped it would be. Normally I have to add more espresso to make it less sugary but this was perfect as is. Still had that bold flavor I love.
The staff was nice and got everything out to us quickly. I left a tip and made sure to let them know how great the experience was. I highly recommend this place. Truly a gem in the Des Moines area.

Scenic Route Bakery is one of, if not, THE BEST bakeries in Des Moines. Their pastries were flaky with a good crunch and their fillings were flavorful but not diminishing of the wonderful pastry they were presented within. Additionally, if you have a nice home cooked dinner ahead of you, the buttermilk buns are spectacular and I would highly recommend buying a pack or two. Finally, the setting and staff are extremely friendly and willing to answer any and all questions you may have about their process.

I can not say enough good about this place. Always so friendly and the food is top-notch. Vegan and vegetarian options. The patio is nice to enjoy a coffee on. You have to try their rosemary lemonade.

One of the few cafes and bakeries in the area, Scenic Route has ample indoor and outdoor seating for groups of all sizes. The atmosphere is cozy and I found that the staff were really helpful and kind. I visited later in the day so most pastries and breads were already sold out! I still managed to have a “unicorn” latte (lavender), green goddess salad, cup of tomato bisque, and a peach pastry. The salad I should’ve asked for dressing on the side, as it was delicious but a bit too drenched for my tastes. I also wish more additions were available as options, other than proteins. The soup was a great surprise and I’m glad I had it! Their lattes feel generous and well-priced; I would say that their food selection may be a bit pricier than one would expect compared to their drinks. The pastry was still delicious and crispy by the time I had it in the afternoon. Overall, great place to relax and catch up with others, plenty of cozy spaces.

What a great little place for coffee and scones! Or cookies and cinnamon rolls. The dough for their baked goods is like biting into a cloud Their cookies are soft yet firm at the same time for that perfect balance! And their pecan rolls are caramel pecan delish! Prices are very reasonable for the quality of what you’re getting. Basically, for a morning starting point, this is a great place to be!

Loved it! Went to check it out before a business meeting coming up. Very nice! Appreciate the in and outdoor seating options. Also appreciate the industrial mixed vibe.
I had a chocolate pinwheel which was drool worthy. So fresh, so tasty, so flaky, so chocolaty! Also had a diet coke cause I am not much for coffee. They had a great selection of pastries and coffee and sandwiches and more.
Order at the counter and find your own seat. I sat outside since it was gorgeous. Can see the capital right around the corner.
Open Monday- Saturday, closed Sunday. I think my total was $8 or something. I wasn’t paying attention when paying! Too much to look at.
In the heart of the East Village so plenty of other things to do nearby as well.

Staff is super friendly, drinks and food super yummy, all around awesome place! Me and my boyfriend went here for valentines day and one of the staff gave us free chocolate strawberries!! We didn’t catch they’re name, but shoutout for that, it really made our day 🙂

The service and atmosphere were fantastic! The staff was on top of things and helpful and the food came out fast.
I got the ‘Hot Piglet’ it was good! Satisfied the craving but I think my expectations were a bit too high based off of other reviews?
Definitely worth the stop tho

SUCH a gem! Went here unsuspectingly not knowing I was gonna have a life altering experience. Type of food that has you holding back a moan.
The brown sugar Cuban was DELIGHTFUL. A seamless blend of what coffee should be and indulgence. The perfect muse to my chocolate almond croissant.
Speaking of, I usually don’t cave to croissants. I’m a snob with no credibility, but I find most croissants to be lackluster. I only caved because I’ve been starved from the joys of almond pastries. This croissant is the ONLY exception to my hatred. Feathered layers of heaven swaddling chocolate and almond essence. The type of pastry you’d see in an anime.
Love this place 🙂 go if you can!

Don’t come here if you’re a person of color. The staff and especially the owners will treat customers with a warm greeting and a smile ONLY if you’re white. Otherwise they’ll stare at you with a cold glaze and make you feel like you don’t belong there.
