News on Nadia's French Bakery—Coming to Grand Avenue in December
Lucky Des Moines! A former Jimmy John's on Grand will soon be a French bakery specializing in a specific style of French pastry (plus a few other treats).
I recently sat down to speak with Nadia Ahissou, who is opening Nadia’s French Bakery in the former site of a Jimmy John’s at 2705 Grand in Des Moines. The conversation was conducted sometimes in French (her first language and one I can manage in) and other times English (which she speaks better than I speak French). What follows is, in parts, a translation of our interview.
You’ll soon see why I’m excited about Ahissou’s upcoming new option on the French bakery scene.
