After seeing the cookie challenge on Beard Meets Food we had to stop next time we were in Saginaw…read more Stopped in with friends and picked up cookies for the family. There was a great selection and quick service in this fun cookie themed place. The cookies were great, I'm sure we will be coming back.

DATE & TIME OF VISIT: November 1, 2025 @ 5:05pm. They were not busy (there was no one there)…read more AMBIANCE & CLEANLINESS: located in a strip mall, had cute color/decor. From what we could see, it was clean. SERVER: The young blonde girl at the counter didn't say anything to us when we came in and only spoke when we would ask a question (and she was very short/one word answer). Customer service was not her strong suit. We almost walked out due to her not acknowledging us. FOOD: we ordered a six pack of cookies Flavors ordered: chocolate chunk, M&M's, red velvet, banana pudding, mocha, pb oreo something. Taste: we were excited for these cookies due to the reviews and sadly it fell short for us. They were just Meh, no real flavor difference between the varieties, and they had an odd "cake" texture. Flavors all very bland (even with all the mix ins), there was no richness or depth. Size: they are jumbo cookies, so good for sharing! Price: $3.00/each (I believe that was the cost) OVERALL THOUGHTS: Server was not very customer service forward. Cookies were Meh (had way better). Price is good. WOULD I RETURN? No, we would not drive 3 hours again to return. Even if we were in the area not sure we would come back for seconds.

I've been going to Chef Sergei's for about a year. I have to say that they are expensive but their…read morebread is far superior to anyone else's bread in town. The problem is that I have become addicted. I've learned to slice half a baguette or stow away a half a loaf in the freezer - precut - and then put slices in the toaster. There are no preservatives so you have to do this or eat the bread quickly. The baguette and the sourdough are the same dough. I ma addicted to the double chocolate cookies and my wife likes the lemon cookies. There are some awesome sandwiches too. I pay a lot for bread but it's really good. I have to feed my addiction!!!

Pasties-very good (just make sure you use the gravy) Very clean. Nice displays. Friendly staff. Pricy. The best value is buying a dozen of anything. Odd hours because they close before 5p during the week making it hard to get items. Limited street parking. I will return for the long Johns. I wish the local business the best of luck.

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
