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.

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 really wanted to like this place, but my opinion of them went quickly sour, no STALE after the first few bites.

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.
