Springing up on the edge of where the urban Iowa landscape meets a cornfield is Barrett’s. This gem is a neighborhood bakery and cafe and the brainchild of award-winning chef Cory Barrett. The mission: to create a space that is both fresh and familiar, where details matter and integrity is felt in moves that honor his ambitious approach to culinary creativity and regional tradition. The interior vision focused on amplifying those values and creating an environment that welcomes all and sets the stage for experiences that are both warm and revelatory. Hand-lettered signs live with custom-made and collected items that reveal honest wear and simple beauty. The result is a space that is clean, bright, and just right.
