Van Hemert's Dutch Oven Bakery

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!

Great lil bakery. Nice strong ice coffee. Tasty doughnuts. All the sugar you need to start the day

Everything is made fresh every morning and their smoothies are amazing! I always get their mocha smoothies with a shot of espresso and a few donuts to eat through out the day. Great breakfast!

Great spot for breakfast or lunch! Delicious soups, salads, and sandwiches. Tons of beverages to choose from. Classic Dutch letters and tons of other doughnut options. It is always kept clean, and the service is always fast and friendly. Their cakes are my absolute favorite. The best buttercream!

The donuts are to DIE for! We had many different flavors of donuts from the Dutch Oven Bakery at our wedding and they were a hit! So tasty and so cute!
Additionally, Courtney made us a gorgeous and delicious wedding cake! We received so many compliments throughout the night raving about the desserts!

Great friendly service with a smile and wonderful fresh baked goods. Day old treats are discounted. Wide selection of coffees, teas, juice, pop and smoothies. The Dutch letters are amazing.

My favorite lunch spot in Boone. Try their sandwich basket and a pastry.

What a great place! We asked for some speciality cookies for a little boy who loves snowmen and look at these sweet, lovely cookies they designed. We couldn't have been happier. And of course they were delicious! Boone is lucky to have such a nice spot.

I am new to Boone. I live not far from the Dutch Bakery and this place makes me feel like home, as soon as I walk in. It smells wonderful and the staff is always kind and the pastries and treats are divine and the soups and sandwiches are equally as delectable! Chili is excellent too! I purchase my breads here now, not the store. I am in love with the Dutch Apple bread! Yum! This is a cozy comfortable place to sit alone and enjoy a book and some tea or coffee, or with family and friends to gather. I came here from California, and this is thee best bakery I have ever known, in my 50 years, of life. That’s how good it is and how friendly it is.
I’m luckily to live so close !
WOOTWOOT ; )

This is a family favorite! We love the baked goods as well as the soup and sandwiches. Whenever we have some down time or are just looking for a good donut and coffee we always turn to Old Dutch. This small business definitely takes no shortcuts and cares about their customers. They also have an awesome bakery offering!!

Their bakery items never disappoint!! And the tuna cheddar melt is incredible!

Talk about a delicious place to eat!!! We stopped in for breakfast, and I wanted to sample one of everything in the case! I settled for 2 delicious donuts!

Tasty food, lovely pastries!

Cute bakery with lots to offer! The service is fast and the treats are yummy!

Best donuts in boone, and surrounding areas!! And the service behind the counter is second to none!!!!!

Was the best food we ever had! The soup was amazing, and the donuts were amazing! And the people were so sweet and nice, we go there every time we go snowboarding now! It's a must go to bakery! Please support this lovely business!

Great atmosphere, delicious treats. Family friendly and these kiddos love Friday donuts!

Delicious and flaky pastries, and awesome glazed donuts. Flavored iced coffee is great (Irish Toffee flavoring for me), but not a fan of their hot coffee -- not sure why the difference. Great service usually, and they make great cakes for any occasion!!! The staff is friendly and quick to help. Cute decor and lots of room for seating. Family-friendly! Go here almost daily -- for iced coffee and usually a breakfast croissant!

Went there with my wife a couple days ago, very cozy atmosphere the entire time and polite staff. Got our dutch letters and pudding filled pastries.

My husband and I were looking for a fast and filling breakfast, and we weren't disappointed! The biscuits and gravy were amazing, and the pastries were outstanding! I ordered a sugar free iced latte with almond milk, and it was great as well! We will be back next time we are in the area!
