They have very a delicious coffee & lunch. You can order almost any latte, espresso, or coffee drink made fresh to order! In my opinion, the bakery sweets are so overly sweet they almost take your breath away. They run some great deals on soup & sandwich lunch specials so that's worth checking out! read more

After dress shopping our group stopped here to grab a quick lunch. I ordered the make your own and made a vegetarian sandwich. It was as expected, not bad but nothing that makes it unique. I ordered the basket expecting the classic "coffee store" chips to sadly see they were just original ruffles. As for the pickle, I expected it to be a spear and I was let down to find out it was two slices. The cookie was alright as well but nothing special. I ordered the pastries and donuts and those were pretty good. I enjoyed the mocha Bismarck donut. The lemon cream cheese pinwheel was pretty good as well but on the drier side. Overall, good for a quick bite. Staff are super nice and friendly. read more

When in Ames, I can not miss an opportunity to visit the Dutch Oven Bakery near the railroad crossing on Duff. Wandering Boone this week, we found another Dutch oven bakery and found it equally awesome. Great selection of bakery items and pastries, outstanding customer service, and some tables to enjoy your choices. Kindness in abundance. read more

The Dutch Oven that's located in Ames has been a family favorite for years. We don't get over to Boone as much, but this version of the Dutch Oven Bakery (on the main street) is the place to be when we are. I stopped here last week for a pastry and coffee. There was a lot to choose from on the sweet roll side, but I somehow managed. Very good coffee too! Maybe next time, I'll stop for Lunch. Counter service was home town friendly. And when you see local law enforcement stop here for donuts, well you know this place has got to be good! read more

Visited the Dutch Oven Bakery in Boone on a very nice Fall afternoon in Iowa, after we had hiked the nearby Ledges State Park (look for a review on he park elsewhere.) Folks, this bakery has been around forever, and they serve up some of the freshest pastries and goods you'll find. I chose a "Sticky Bun" (pic shown) and my wife had an Apple Turnover. We also got 2 sugar cookies for later (also shown.) Both the Sticky Bun and Turnover were like they just came out of the oven. Yeah, they were that fresh. We didn't have the cookies until the next day, and surprisingly, they were still pretty soft. Great job, Dutch Oven ... you served up some 5-star treats on what just happened to be my birthday! read more

Delicious local bakery known for fantastic baked goods! You really can't go wrong with any of them but I rarely branch off from the glazed twist because it's just so good. I love the plain glazed and the sugared donuts. I always want to try the long johns and delicious looking apple fritters but never do. The hot chocolate I had was so creamy and delicious! I've had lunch here as well and it's simple but delicious. If I lived in town I'd have a hard time staying away. The place is smaller so it does get crowded. The staff are usually quick to clean up after if you make a mess, but don't forget to bus your table! read more

I grew up in Cleveland OH and was/continue to be a lover of Dick's Bakery in Berea. Not only does Dick's offer amazing bakery, but they remind me of happy days in my youth. The residents of Boone IA have their own classic, happy-times bakery shop in Van Hemert's Dutch Oven Bakery. Located in the heart of the business district off Story St., the moment you walk into this bakery you know you are in for a tasty treat. Fresh donuts, pastries, cookies, cakes and coffee await the lucky passer-by that takes a chance and stops in. They will not leave disappointed or cash-poor, because the choices are amazing, the bakery is fresh and the cost is super-reasonable. Get a box and load up on a wide selection; we tried a little of almost everything. The staff is super; patient as we selected (which if you are like me, it takes a little time to pick the perfect assortment of yummies). Parking is convenient; hey you are not in the big city folks - parking is easy in small town. Van Hemert's Dutch Oven Bakery is one reason why more people need to visit the small towns in Iowa (or any state). You get to discover gems like this one that many locals just assume will stay around and out-of-towner's like me marvel why they don't have one of these in Des Moines! Stop in the next time you are near; you won't be sorry for making the effort. read more

Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. Do I go to the Dutch Oven Bakery in Boone or in Ames? The Boone location has a bit more character, I think, but they are equals where it really counts. The baked goods. Specifically, Dutch Letters. Yes, I know their soups and sandwiches are great. And that they have a wide variety of wonderful baked goods. Even Kringla! Wait. Aren't those Norwegian? But I digress. Dutch Letters are this bakery's niche in the foodie universe. And what a niche it is! read more

A great local bakery with delicious donuts, pastries and coffee. They also carried fresh baked breads, cookies, bagels and pies. They were quite busy before nine on a Saturday morning, so I knew we had picked a great spot! We tried several different items and everything was excellent. The apple fritter was definitely one of the best I've had in awhile. Everything looked so good, it was really hard to decide!

Stopped in this past weekend after driving up to visit Ledges State Park. A co-worker has recommended the Dutch Oven Bakery before, and always gets pies for her family. I can see why! We arrived around 1pm, so most of the pies sold out for the day. We took a slide of apple and peach pie to go, which we both incredible! The pies are clearly homemade, hand made, and baked with care. We also purchased a mini loaf of iced apple bread, which was also delicious! Will definitely stop back in if/when driving near Boone! read more

We visited on a Friday afternoon around 2 pm and I was glad some of the baked goods were still available. I quickly picked up a few items: Dutch letters, almond horns, almond tarts, and blueberry filled Dutch windmills. The first three items have a strong but not overpowering almond flavor. I especially liked the almond horns which had a crunch but chewy and buttery texture. I also really liked the windmills and wished I had ordered the raspberry ones as well. It was buttery and flakey with just the right about of blueberry cream cheese filling.

It smells absolutely delicious in there and the endless variety that they offer is fantastic. Not only are there donuts and pastries, they have pies and do lunch as well. They also have coffee and tea, and the inside of this little bakery is so quaint and personable. This location is amazing and we highly recommend it.

You walk into the beautiful brick building, wood floors and it smells scrumptious. You are welcomed by the cheery staff and an assortment of handmade, locally crafted items from candles to crocheted items. Up toward the counter you have a long glass case to view all the yummy eats from egg and cheese scones, cookies, HOMEMADE BREADS, and I got the cinnamon roll with cream cheese icing. Beverage wise, they serve the basics, coffee, lattes, mochas, teas and hot chocolate. The ladies/owners were super friendly and treated us like we were family. There is a large area with tables and chairs that would be great for conversing, working, or a meeting. They even have a cool "back entrance" to the cute woman's clothing boutique Backwards Boutique. Will definitely be going back. A new shiny gem you must try!!

After a different caterer unexpectedly backed out, Melissa and Brett were contacted by our event coordinator and, despite already having a full schedule on one of the busiest weekends of the year, they graciously agreed to take on our smaller event. They were kind, enthusiastic, and responsive, and they created a meal full of comfort foods that my husband would have loved! Their warmth and care showed in every detail, and my family is still talking about the brisket! I look forward to returning to Boone soon and visiting them again for breakfast -- I can't recommend them highly enough!

They open at ten, but the hours weren't posted clearly and the interaction with the guy behind the counter was awful. I would never run my business in this fashion. Also what bakery place doesn't open until 10? Not a good business model in the slightest. Lots of things we could improve on humble. I'm insanely disappointed

Super loud door chime when we came in, but literally no one was there. This place also housed a yogurt business, orange leaf. All of the yogurt fixings were clean and prepped and ready but looking at the donut fixings, it was messy and empty. We called out "hello" loudly and several times, but no answer. We could hear people talking in the back though. There was a space heater on behind the counter and someone's purse sitting on the back counter, so I know at least someone was there. We knocked on the counter and still nothing. So we left. No donuts for us!

Very easy to find and they have a large parking lot.
