Crème

The 36 Best Restaurants in Des Moines, Iowa | Eater

"Lifelong Des Moines resident and former magazine recipe developer Sammy Mila has been an avid supporter of the local food scene for decades, but lamented the fact that her Laotian and Thai culture was rarely represented on bakery menus. So in 2022, she bought Crème dessert shop and was soon drawing crowds for pan-Asian-inspired items like matcha blondies, milk bread cinnamon rolls, and black sesame Oreo cake. Stop by after sunset for Midnight Munchies: ’90s tunes, cocktails, customizable Cup Noodles, and a rotating cast of cakes and cheesecakes." - Karla Walsh
