Van Hemert's Dutch Oven Bakery - Ames, IA

Highest quality goods in all of Iowa. My little brother and I used to walk up every single morning and get a donut while Mom slept. Now I live in Ames and visit the Ames location on my day off occasionally. Their quality or taste haven't changed! The best donuts you could possibly get, amazing sandwiches and really friendly staff! Dutch Oven is the best

My son and I went in to pick out donuts for Father’s Day and had a blast. The donuts were fresh and the coffee was great as well! This place is delicious!

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

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

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

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!
