Bake My Day Coffeehouse and Bakery

I love this joint.
At first glance, you may think that it is too small (because it is a little storefront coffee shop), but there’s more seating less than 10 steps inside the Orpheum. Both the coffee shop itself and the extra seating room are bright, inviting, and full of cool historical tidbits.
I’ve gotten a giant cupcake here and a small Americano for less than 4 bucks. That’s awesome. And Bake My Day’s cupcakes… holy moly! SO GOOD!
PRO TIP: If you head there on Friday or Saturday, they usually have discounted cupcakes. They slash the price to sell so they have to throw away less (as they aren’t open on Sundays). Think a 50-​cent cupcake sounds terrible? NOPE! I had a giant chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting — all homemade — for 50 cents and it was moist and delish!
They have an outdoor patio, too, that they will open when the weather is consistently warm.
I go here to work at least once a week. Love, love, love it.

Best cupcakes I have ever tasted, and believe me that is saying a lot. I am a cupcake expert. Although I don’t drink coffee, it smells incredible and is located in an famous old theater in Marshalltown IA. Check it out and see for yourself!
