With downtown Des Moines lacking a proper bakery, the opening of
Scenic Route Bakery
this last December has been a blessing for the East Village, quickly
becoming a popular place for baked goods both sweet and savory, Intelligentsia
coffee and espresso drinks, sandwiches, soups, salads, and
desserts. I've not taken the opportunity for a sit-down visit to
Scenic Route, but have popped through a few times for items to-go.
Tidy ham
&
cheese
quiche. Intensely cheesy! My favorite item at Scenic
Route.

An almond
scone is a dandy treat! A firm crust, scantily
glazed, conceals a soft crumb studded with almond pieces.

Herb
and cream cheese croissant. Crusty exterior, airy
interior, slightly sweet and buttery.

Cookies!
The Peanut Butter offers a crisp exterior, and a
moist, slightly underdone center that otherwise exhibits a
defined crumb. The cookie breaks cleanly with some effort. The Black
& White is a chocolate cookie with white and
dark chocolate chips. Decent aroma of cocoa when broken in half;
strong chocolate flavor seals the deal.

Bialy:
a small focaccia with scrambled egg, mozzarella, parmesan, provolone,
onion, red bell pepper, and spinach. A fine treat for breakfast,
or any other time of the day.
