Olde Town Arvada is way off my usual stomping grounds, so although I had read quite a bit about…read morethis shop over the years, I had never visited. We finally decided to check out the shopping and dining district. Rheinlander was our final (and best!) stop. The bakery dates back to 1963 and is now on the third generation of ownership. The quality is certainly being maintained at a high level. This is a traditional, German bakery with a huge variety of authentic European cakes, cupcakes, sweet and savory pastries, pies, cookies, coffee cakes, and the only reason I think a German bakery should exist--strudel! Strudels are available whole, half, or by the slice. The usual flavors are apple, cherry, blueberry cream cheese, cherry cream cheese, and Boston cream. We bought slices of the apple, cherry, and blueberry cream cheese. These were perfection and absolutely delightful. I was totally focused on the strudel case (yes, there's a lot of strudel on offer), but I believe there are eight huge cases of treats, each one looking more enticing than the next. Quite a few gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free options are available, so if that's what you need, this is the place for you. The bakery was moderately busy during our visit. There was plenty of staff and they were all friendly, helpful, and very efficient, so purchases moved swiftly. Lots of coffee and drink options are available. There's nice outside seating if you can't wait to take your goodies home. It's a long drive for us, but we were really impressed and we'll find a reason to visit Arvada so we can stop back soon. Yum.

I do get the hype...these bagels are phenomenal. The texture and fluffiness combined with a great…read morelight crunch on the outside is killer. The chive cream cheese is our favorite with lox coming in at a close second. The lox cream cheese is more elevated than a typical lox cc, it has dill and capers throughout yet I can still taste the lox. The plain cc does taste a bit more on the yoghurt side than a typical plain but if that's your thing, you'll love it! The service was amazing and the vibes were very small business-y which we loved.

I was able to get the special for the day with the chive cream cheese. The bagel was one of the best bagels that I have had in Denver the outside was toasted and the inside was soft. I will be coming back to try some of their other flavors before they get sold out!

Mark did such an amazing job on our "what will it bee?" Gender reveal cake. We received many…read morecompliments on how beautiful the cake was, and then the taste of the cake was amazing...we were eating all the decorations and dazzled by the flavor of each. Mark also made it easy to keep the gender a secret from me. Him and I discussed the cake details, and then I had a friend texted him with the results to make sure it was still a surprise for me. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out (both the cake and the gender!) highly recommend Mark and Meraki Custom Cakes!

My boyfriend ordered me a birthday cake from Meraki this past weekend and HOLY MOSES it was…read moredelicious. Carrot cake is my favorite so I was thrilled when the cake was cut open. The cake was the perfect level of sweetness and packed with flavor from carrots, walnuts, raisins, and spices (and I'm sure much more). Usually I am not a big fan of layer cakes because of all of the icing but it was just enough, a great consistency, and completely complimented the flavor of the cake. I also loved the simple decorations on the top! A friend of mine picked up the cake and he and my boyfriend said that from start to finish Mark was great to work with. I should note that my boyfriend lives in Austin, TX so it means even more to me that the process went so smoothly. Thanks Meraki! I should also mention that after transportation to a few different locations and 3 days of sitting in my fridge, the cake is still sooo delicious! I took the inside cake picture after all of that too.

This place is horrendous. Serves very old pastries and over sugared "lemonade" that does not taste…read moreat all like lemon. It is basically just raspberry/strawberry snow cone syrup in water. I bought a raspberry mousse and attempted to eat it and the first bite tasted like it had been sitting next to meat in a refrigerator for days. The mousse itself left a waxy coating on my tongue. The icing shell did the same. The Mille-Feuille was over cooked and had old whipped cream inside and on top. The waxy coating of the tongue occurred there too. The strawberry atop the dessert was so old I believe it would have been an issue for the health department. I couldn't eat or drink any of it. I am appalled by what they sold me. This place charges quite a bit for the trash they serve up. AVOID. The owner accused me of lying after I wrote the above review on google. Instead of apologizing for the $50 I essentially set on fire, they denied and lied. Makes me question the legitimacy of the positive reviews. Then denied they use syrup in their lemonade? Not sure about you but have "natural" ingredients ever turned your juice bright red without any pulp? To the owner: Precisely! Why would I write a lie? It makes no sense to concoct lies when I have literally nothing to gain from it.

I finally woke up early to come here and order a small bag of pastries - specifically Cheese Danish, Apple Fruit Diamond, and Bear Claw. I took them home to enjoy with my coffee. Plenty of parking in this strip mall lot. Customer service is great. My favorite pastry was the Bear Claw, which one of the staff members recommended. The Fruit Diamond was delicious as well. I thought I'd like the Cheese Danish more than I did, but it was only okay. Next time I'm getting some of the larger pastries to split. Great place to stop by before heading into the office OR hang out here. There were quite a few people in the weekday morning crowd just chilling at one of the many tables in this surprisingly large bakery. Can't wait to try more!

Basically, a no-frills Italian bakery. I purchased cannoli's for the family with a steep price tag. I asked if they were freshly made today. He said they were. I don't think he was lying because when we ate them, they tasted super fresh and delicious. 8 out of 10 is my ranking. If you're into Italian snacks this is definitely the place.

I waited until they opened on Wednesday (closed Monday and Tuesday) and made my way over shortly after they opened at 8am. There were only a few people in line, so it honestly was perfect timing. I was shocked with how many options there were. Many types of bread, pastries, etc. Honestly, it was a little overwhelming trying to make the right decision! They also have coffee and matcha. I ended up getting a loaf of bread, a savory danish, a lemon sugar cookie, and the coffee cake to share with my partner. We ate the danish and coffee cake for breakfast and saved the cookie for dessert in the evening. Everything was delicious!! I can't wait to go back and try more pastries!

I'm from Chicago and I've tried every other "top-rated" bakery here, and honestly... none of them even come close. The staff is amazing. I stopped in a few minutes before closing once and instead of being annoyed, they were super nice and even gave me a free coffee cake, which was delicious. The maple morning bun is my #1 ride or die. I'm not even a pastry girl, but this thing is unreal. It's not too heavy, not overly sweet, perfectly crunchy and flaky, soft in the middle, just absolute perfection. Everything I've tried has been amazing: maple morning bun, monkey bread, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls. I still think about those cinnamon rolls and really hope they bring them back soon! Fair warning though: you have to get there early. If you're not an early riser, find someone who is or you will miss out. Lucky for me, my husband wakes up wayyy earlier than any normal person and always gets me a treat!

Basically, enough space to choose your items and check out. The majority of the building is taken up by the bakery space where folks were working hard.

I brought home a bag of goodies for my family and will most likely be back.
