Van Hemert's Dutch Oven Bakery - Ames, IA

Dutch letters, windmills, homemade sourdough bread. This place is a delight.

Great friendly service. Awesome food.

It's no secret they have amazing donuts, cake, and pastries. What a lot of people don't realize is that they have other great breakfast and lunch foods! It's a great place for a quick and fresh lunch. You can never go wrong with a freshly made croissant turkey sandwich!

We had glazers, a cinnamon twist, a mocha donut, a chocolate pudding donut, and a Bismark. There's was alot of arguing once we got into the car on who got what!!!! They were super fresh and delicious.

I ordered a cake at the last minute, and they did a great job even with short staff. The baker went out of her way to make what I wanted, and it turned out both beautiful and delicious. Thank you!

Went late in the day on Saturday so they were low on bakery items. Pretty bland.

Great baked products, very friendly staff, cozy...

This place is incredible! Quick service, friendly and attentive staff, and reasonable prices! I stopped in for breakfast this weekend and ordered a breakfast croissant and mocha filled bismark. For less than $8, I enjoyed a great meal that kept me full until the late afternoon. I have an incredible sweet tooth but the mocha filled bismark was a tad too sweet for me. Regardless, I will definitely be back to try their other baked goods and breads!

Best donuts in the Des Moines area! Kind and friendly staff who are committed to making their bakery a welcoming shop with excellent donuts. The glazed sour cream cake donut is unlike any other donut I've had. So good! 10/10

Raspberry tarts! Rasssssberry tarts. I am miles away still wishing I was in Ames holding their rassssssberry tarts.
