Van Hemert's Dutch Oven Bakery - Ames, IA

Delicious! This last time I got a breakfast sandwich and that was also great!

Hand made from scratch no preservative donuts rolls and pastries, custom decorated cakes, pies, cupcakes and breads. Best bakery in town no question. Lunch sandwiches made with the breads as well, soups and salads served daily.

Came all the way to this place for donuts during their open hours only to find the shop closed, doors locked and no one in sight yet the "open" sign was still on. Pretty disappointing for them to close while they still advertise being open. Probably won't waste my time going there again

I decided to check out this bakery after seeing advertisement on Hwy 30 on my way to northern Iowa for Thanksgiving. They had a nice selection of baked goods still available even though it was the day before Thanksgiving. I tried a Dutch Letter which was as good as one I've had in Pella. A couple of other items I purchased I found to be way too sweet, it took away from being able to enjoy the actual pastry. Staff were all very friendly & helpful.

So so many yummy pastries🍰
Good coffee and soups and sandwiches. Always staffed with helpful and friendly staff. Great place for special order cakes and pies also
My grandchildren are coming from AZ , can't wait to take them to the bakery. Best place for a special treat❣

Won’t ever go back there again!!! They don’t have a set price for a dozen of donuts anymore they sale each donut individually !!!!!! The smallest one is a 1.20😂😂😂😂 that’s crazy!!!! You can buy one dozen there or go to Casey’s and get 3 dozen for the same price!!!! They must be hurting for money because they want to do people dirty!!! What’s this world coming to!!!! You’re selling donuts for crying Out loud!!! Not gold!!!

Highly recommended. I stop here whenever I am in Ames. Things sell out usually sooner in the day it seems, like most good bakeries, but I still have items I like to bring home!

Ordered 165 Donuts for a large Event and every Donut looked so good and the 2 Donuts I ate were the best Donuts ever. Also, placing such a large order was extremely easy and they were very friendly, professional and efficient. Also their price was very fair. Best Donuts ever!

The staff was very friendly and helpful and everything I got was absolutely awesome!! I ordered a iced raspberry chai latte, breakfast sandwich, and a glazed doughnut. Service was also very quick even with multiple other customers who had ordered food and drinks, which was great since I was in a bit of a rush. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon!!

Went in for lunch today and they had already stopped serving sandwiches, even though they are open until 5:30. Thought that was very odd. Second time this has happened to me so make sure you call before you go. The decorated cookie we bought also looked pretty sloppy compared to the ones in Boone. I would definitely suggest visiting the Boone location over this one. Very disappointimg.
