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.

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 reminded me of The Patty Cake, THE best vegan bakery in Columbus, Ohio - Go Bucks! It was really hard to choose with so many delectable items. I purchased the lemon poppy seed cupcake for my partner and the smores cookie for myself. My partner was kind enough to share a bite and listen to me, that lemon poppy seed is lemon perfection! My chewy smores cookies is the best Ive ever had! Neither were too sweet, just perfect through and through. The two ladies at the counter were upbeat, friendly, and welcoming. They made us smile and were genuinely engaging. This bakery made me feel like I had a taste of home and it meant everything to me, cause Im a little home sick. Today, this was more than just a bakery. I cant wait to go back! I need another cookie but I simply must try the red velvet cupcake. Thanks so much, for the food and the hospitality. This week I found a new loctician and my new bakery. #SettlingIn

Hosted a beautiful baby shower for my best friend. We ordered cupcakes from this "bakery" and it's…read morereally just unfortunate how terrible they turned out. So bad in fact, that all we could do was laugh and throw them in the trash. I wish when the inspiration photos were initially sent, that this business would have just said that this was something they were not capable of. Instead they boxed up these sad burnt little gems and put enough tape on the box to ship them to Mexico, I guess to ensure we didn't open them immediately. I encourage anyone looking for a reputable baker in the Denver area to dodge this bullet unless your expectation is Betty Crocker with an easy bake oven. Also, before leaving any negative review we reached out to the bakery and instead of handling professionally she posted about it on Instagram and then blocked me.

My MIL ordered cupcakes for my babyshower. We sent inspiration pics and had conversations about what was expected and flavors. Day of babyshower, cupcakes were picked up - box taped shut, our own fault for not checking before leaving. Once we arrived at the venue and opened the box we realized they were not at all what was ordered, incorrect flavors, incorrect designs, overcooked and burnt on the edges. We reached out to the bakery to express our dissatisfaction, she then proceeded to post our conversation on Instagram asking if we were a Karen and praising her own cupcakes. In her posts she contradicts herself several times. She states that she received an inspiration pic and that they did the cupcakes as close as they could, but in another comment she said she didn't know what we wanted and we only gave a verbal description of desert flowers. She also states in her text to us (with the screenshot she posted) that she didn't see the cupcakes before we picked them up because they were taped shut and asked us to send a pic, but then also states 'we all thought they were very pretty'. Which one is it? I am attaching the inspiration pics as well as what we received. Cupcakes were all different sizes, icing was very minimal, designs were not even close, edges were burnt and crusty, none of the guests even touched them, we paid $150 and ended up with zero desserts at the shower. Beware of what you see online for this bakery as given this experience, they will delete anything that does not fit their narrative nor do they take any accountability. Owner - if you are reading this, we have left messages and would love to hear back from you. We have all email communication proving the ask for this order, if for some reason you are having trouble finding it.
