The weekly changing lunch menu has some outstanding dishes. Last week I enjoyed the Cajun bean soup on a cold day. The spicy warmth hit the spot. Had the delicious Cowboy Cobb salad today.

I also like the points for shopping there. I get an occasional free cookie and such. Keep it up!

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!!!

It's a small place so they just try to get you in and out. If you are selecting a bunch of items, you might want to check your items and receipt before you leave. It has happened twice where they have charged me for an extra item. Coincidence... I think not. Call them about it and they will not apologize or make things right. Ambiance- hole in the wall dirty bakery. Go in and see for yourself, not clean at all... or sanitary either. Would not recommend this dirty place at all.

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

I finally got there early enough in the day to see more of the assortments that they have! Cookies, muffins, pinwheels, cinnamon rolls, fry cakes aka donuts and bread. Lots to choose from! I love that their prices are reasonable and my family loves their glazed and plain fry cakes. I tried their chocolate cream cheese muffin and it was really good! They could probably add some frosting and some sprinkles on top and sell it as a fancy cupcake for way more money the toffee cookie was good too! I will add, I tried their cinnamon roll a while ago and I wasn't the biggest fan. It was big, but didn't have much flavor and the frosting was really meh, I don't know how else to describe it. It wasn't sweet, and our kids actually didn't even want to eat it. ‍ So I'll put that out there, just so people can know what to expect. Honestly, I am loving this place! It's a few minutes away from where we live and when I have cash, this is usually the first place I want to spend it!
