Service was incredible,…read morethey were patient and very knowledgeable about their products as I asked for recommendations. I ended up getting quiche for myself, pepperoni pizza for my wife as well as a plain croissant, chocolate pistachio croissant and maple cinnamon bun. The quiche was just okay in my opinion but everything else was stand out. My wife loved the pizza and the homemade ranch is AMAZING. The chocolate pistachio croissant was tasty, very flakey. The cinnamon bun was also very good but the frosting was a bit sweeter for my taste. A must visit if you're considering a solid bakery!

We were hoping to try the breakfast sandwiches but were disappointed to see that they stop serving them after 11 am- which is fine, we ordered the vegetation artichoke sandwich to share instead. It was super wet and goopy without any crunch or other texture, but the flavor was good. The prices were high for what we got. We also tried the chocolate pistachio croissant which was also super messy and leaked everywhere on the warm day. The staff was friendly enough and there is plenty of outside seating.

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.

If you're anywhere near Wheatridge and love carb loading, just go. They're definitely a little pricey, but honestly, what bagel isn't these days? Consider it a worthwhile breakfast splurge.

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.

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.

The cake? starting to dry from being out all day. if you are going to sell stale pastries, at least offer a discount. For a stale cannoli that price is insulting.

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.

The food is great, but definitely designed to be taken to go, rather than eaten there. No seating inside, although they have a cute little patio for when the weather is nice. If I lived nearby I would be in trouble- the biscuits are homemade and fluffy. They also have a rotating cinnamon roll, which was Nutella and banana. Don't be fooled like we were- the icing is on the side and it's bomb. If it had been warm it would have been epic. Definitely take it home and warm it up (or I bet if you ask they will warm it for you, we just didn't think to ask). The biscuits and gravy were excellent- the country gravy was super peppery and had little chunks of sausage in it. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich could have used a sauce- mayo or something, it was a little dry. The biscuit with jam tasted like the jam was homemade too. Overall, I would recommend if the weather was nice or if you were taking the food home with you.
