Golden Delight Bakery

Reaching this bakery was a bit of a drive but definitely worth it. If you enjoy fresh baked goods, the Golden Delight Bakery is a great option in Kalona. A fair warning though: you’ll want to arrive early before the pastries sell out. My purchases included a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin, a Red Raspberry Kolache, a Red Raspberry hand pie, an Apple Fritter, and a loaf of Onion Dill Bread. The prices are very reasonable for considerable portions. Plus, knowing these treats are made fresh sweetens the deal. The muffin I bought was moist and had plenty of chocolate chips. It paired well with the free coffee offered in the dining area. That said, it is recommended you leave a tip for the free coffee out of courtesy. And although I didn’t purchase any for myself, I’ve heard some people

This is one of our favorite bakeries in the area. It is run by the Amish. They do close for a couple months in the winter so don't plan on any goodies then. They have, for several years, been at the Washington Farmer's Market. It opens at 5 pm on Thursdays starting in May through Oct (I believe.) Get there early, there is always a line and they don't allow sales until 5 pm, period. We love their caramel pecan rolls, whoopie pies, apple fritters, cheese garlic bacon bread, and twist donuts the most. During the mornings while they are still baking it is possible to get warm goodies. The caramel pecan roll was only 15 minutes out of the oven and it was all I could do not to eat it on the way home to save for my family. My only complaint is that I wished they sold the whoopie pies in

I randomly found this place a few years ago and I'm very glad I did! This is an Amish ran store which has a nice variety of items. The baked goods are amazing and priced very well! We have also bought plants from there as well, which have been great. The staff is polite. They are often soft spoken and may seem a little shy, but I think that's a cultural difference for the Amish community in general, in my opinion, but it's a very welcoming place overall. With it being an Amish store, there are no credit or debit transactions. Cash only, but as long as you know that in advance, there will be no issues. Just bring enough cash because you will certainly find things you want! Prices are reasonable and the quality is great. If you're looking to purchase Amish baked goods, candy, plants, furnitu

This is such a fantastic location to taste local Amish baked goods. Their pecan rolls and cinnamon buns are soooo good! I visit this place whenever I am in the area. I purchased three loaves of flavored breads. I can verify they were all delicious. I purchased lemon poppy seed, banana nut and pumpkin breads. All were moist and really flavorful. The store has bulk items, locally canned foods as well as gift items to purchase. I have had several flavors of jams and salsas. All of them are excellent. This is a popular tourist destination. Get there early on Saturday to have the greatest options for purchasing based items. LOVE this place and will visit again.

Absolutely love golden delight. I love getting their donuts they are cheap and really good.
