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

Club sandwich and tuna melt were amazing! Great service and super nice restaurant. Perfect introduction to the Boone community on college move in day! read more

Yummy! Yummy! I've never heard of a pig's ear before - but I don't know how I've lived without.

Great bakery/Cafe. Not just those DD donuts shipped in. Cinnamon rolls and sticky Pecan rolls are fantastic.

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

One of our favorite places for donuts. They also make a great Iced Chai Latte.

Super cute little bakery with absolutely delicious donuts! My boyfriend is a big fan of their coffee and the staff is always so friendly!

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

Amazing bakery hidden in a small town. Just be prepared to wait in line despite several clerks behind the counter. Yeah, it's that popular & for good reason! read more

Great bakery, our favorite one to go to. Everything is great and freshly made. They are quick to serve you from the counter and the area is like a small bistro where you might go to meet friends and enjoy . read more

My new favorite place to grab lunch or a sweet treat. Great customer service and atmosphere.

Small business at its best! A must stop in Iowa! Try the small lunch with the cookie. I recommend the German toffee cookies!

I used to go here frequently in high school because a best friend of mine worked here so I'd stop by occasionally and visit her and try some different food which was always great. I still occasionally stop by to get some food without her working there anymore but the food is still great like always. read more

Very cute cafe with great food. Great service and well staffed. We had the sour dough bread, roast beef sandwich, chicken salad sandwich on croissant. We also had an ice chai tea latte. Everything was very delicious. The chai tea had a strong chai flavor and the chicken salad was amazing! The restaurant was clean, the menu has a lot of variety, and the staff were friendly. read more

The best bakery hands down!!!!! Also the lunch menu is full of delicious food choices. Chicken Salad on croissant is my favorite!!!

Delicious breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and light lunches. Donuts are pretty good too.

In my opinion they have the best donuts in town!! A real treasure for this community!! I personally haven't tried their other fare. They also have a location in Ames. read more

This bakery is one of a kind. Their cakes and donuts are delicious. The biscuits and gravy are delicious and a hearty way to start the day. My personal favorite is their chicken salad sandwich or salad at lunchtime. It is a must try if you're in town. read more

The reason I've gained 12 pounds during the past year. Living in Iowa is partially due to Dutch oven bakery. An assortment of traditional donuts and pastries, sure, but don't overlook their sandwiches and lunch offerings. It's just plain, simple, old-fashioned, food that's delicious. 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

Friendly staff, great food. I love the cream they put in the donuts. The price is more than the gas station by the quality is much better.

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

Love coming here for the chicken salad croissant and of course the huge variety of donuts and pastries, would have to say the Bird's Eye and Mocha donuts are my favorite. Great to being my whole family to, including my five kids, there's something for everyone. We even take a homemade doggie bone cookie home for our husky! We love being within walking distance in Boone! read more

Dutch Oven was the choice when the BBQ place down the street was closed Was pleased that a bakery served lunch items. I ordered the Reuben which actually was two small sandwiches that might have totaled one normal sandwich. Came with chips. Place was clean, food came quick. Grabbed a flaky Dutch Letter on the way out. Very nice. The donuts looked fairly tasty also. 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! Unfortunately, I left my phone in the car and we ate everything before I could take a picture of all our goodies! read more

Food is always good. The service is amazing. And the atmosphere and ambiance is to die for.

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

Oh, you must go here! Totally worth blowing your diet for! The Dutch letters are everything you would want... flaky pastry, real almond filling, delicious. The filling on all of the cream filled products is the best I have ever tasted. Totally delicious cream horns, long johns, bismarks. read more
