Big Sky Bread Iowa — Restaurant in Urbandale

I am fairly new to the Des Moines area, but what I do enjoy is the small town charm in a big city, which includes finding a local bakery to get fresh bread. I found this charming bakery named Big Sky Bread near my home and finally found what I've been searching for! The parking lot is to the left of the bakery, and when you enter, there are a few racks of bread loaves, homemade granola, local jam/honey, and pastries. I tried the Italian loaf, German rye sliced bread, their very own pop tarts, and cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. I forgot to take a picture, but they were all very beautifully made. The owner/cashier Terry was kind and let me know they also have a booth in the Downtown Farmer's Market in May. I am excited to return again for a restock in the near future....

If I hadn't thrown my receipt away on my way out of the store these would have been retuned immediately after opening them. For $6.98 I feel this was the worse purchase I have made in...

This hidden gem is the most amazing bakery you’ll find in Central Iowa! Locally and family owned, their breads, pastries, and especially the granola are always fresh and delicious!
