So glad we did! It's in a small quaint downtown Clare. Street parking. Many different goodies to choose from, including donuts, cookies, mini cakes, and much more. They offer day "old" items as self serve in a separate area, so be sure to check it out for a great deal. They also have a storefront with jelly, salsa, cherries, honey and more. Also, tshirts and some other logo apparel and souvenirs. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They were very patient when we told them it was our first time and spent time looking at all the options. Very reasonable prices. Probably the freshest baked goods I have ever had. The apple fritter is hands down the best! Pieces of cut apples baked into the donut. Delicious! The blueberry donut has fresh and moist literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate cookie with chocolate frosting is a real treat, very sweet and can be shared. The list goes on and on... every single thing we had was delicious - you can't go wrong with anything! It was so good we made a stop in route going home. This is a definite must try! You may even find yourself making a special trip just to get more of their delicious goodies. Stop in - you won't be disappointed!

We were visiting downtown Midland and the Tridge when we came upon Iron Dame. A…read moreFrench-European-style bakery in a small city? Not something that you see too often so we decided to stop by to take a look. It was within an hour of them closing and unfortunately many of the pastries were already sold out. Still, they had a couple of croissants that looked absolutely delicious and we couldn't resist picking some up. In addition to pastries, they also sell coffee and, interestingly enough, milk tea and boba (popping type only I think). I can easily imagine sitting outside, sipping on a drink and nibbling on a pastry. Raspberry Vol au Vent ($5) - Woah, just look at those layers on this pastry. So well defined with crisp, buttery puff pastry layers that are easy to pull apart. This one is filled with a raspberry jam and adorned with a single fresh raspberry in the center. They don't skimp on the jam here - it's absolutely loaded up. The jam is tangy, sweet, and delicious. It's filled with fresh and crunchy raspberry seeds and a brightness that is welcome. (5/5) Bacon & Havarti Croissant ($6) - Other places might put a single thin slice of bacon and cheese inside - Iron Dame fills it chock full with meat and cheese. Salty, savory, umami, everything you could want from a savory croissant. Since there's so much filling, it compresses the croissant dough along the edges making it chewier and more bready, yet still retaining a bit of flakiness. (5/5) Pain Au Chocolat ($5) - The lamination on this pastry isn't nearly as good - the layers are on the thicker side with smaller air bubbles. Definitely more bready than flaky. I'm not sure what happened to this pastry - the pictures on their website shows very well defined layers but this one was anything but. Two batons of chocolate are inserted inside, giving sweetness and richness. I wasn't able to eat this until the following day - since I couldn't eat it fresh, I won't include it in my overall rating. This particular pastry is something around a 3/5 though. It looks like they don't have a set menu (at least not what I can see from their website), so I would definitely drop by with an open mind to see what they are offering that day! I would come here again if I lived in Midland or if I was in the area. Yum! Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Overall rating of the food this visit: 5/5

A 1/3# patty, apple maple bacon jam, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and crispy onions, on a toasted butterhorn roll. This was an excellent burger, the beef was high quality and delicious. The bacon jam gave it a slighty sweet, yet savory taste. Everything merged together perfectly to create a burger I definitely want to eat again. I got applesauce with it that was very good. I got some Cinnamon Rolls to take home and they were fantastic. I also got a Raspberry Cream Cheese Roll. Basically raspberry instead of the cinnamon mixture and it works. Definitely a home run. The service was fantastic. Super friendly and helpful. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely, this is worth the 90 minute drive. Both Cinnamon Rolls and Burgers deserve their spots on the best of lists.

Having a craving for something sweet, we googled bakeries near us and found this bakery open. We new it would be close before early Sunday close. We made it with 2 minutes to spare. They even unwrapped several of our purchases. Everything we purchased was the best we'd ever had. The cinnamon roll melted in your mouth and frosting was so good. I purchased a loaf of cinnamon bread. I am quite old and must say, it's the best I've ever eaten. It has no icing so a few less calories. It also is sliced thin which is good. The dough is very tasty and soft. I've told my family, when driving from Gaylord to visit kids in college in Grand Rapids, plan trips to stop at this place for lunch which looked very appetizing, and definitely pick up something sweet, and me a loaf of bread. I'll drive from Detroit to "visit". To top it off, they use all local ingredients when possible and in season! The "icing on the cake" for a great road-trip with my grand-daughter.
