⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dutch Oven Bakery in Boone is a must-visit for both sweet treats and a delicious lunch! From their fluffy frosted cookies to their Dutch strips, pinwheels & almond horns that are packed with a signature almond flavor that keeps me coming back -their baked goods are legendary, but their lunch options are just as amazing!

No matter what you choose, you can’t go wrong at Dutch Ov

Van Hemert’s Dutch Oven Bakery is everything you’d want in a hometown bakery and more. We recently ordered a custom cupcake cake, and it completely exceeded our expectations.

The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They remember returning c

Always a great stop when going through Boone. The sandwiches are great and the chili, thank you Denny, is hearty if not spicy. And the Dutch letters, braided breads, cookies, and all the other bad bad bad pasties, well, we will be back !

Our sales lady at Reddeker's furniture suggested this place when we asked for a recommendation on where to eat locally. The three of us ladies had a tuna melt, a chicken salad sandwich and a grilled chicken salad and all had a Dutch Letter. All of our food was wonderful. Small restaurant but every table was filled. While none of us got coffee with our order the coffee bar looked like it had a great selection.
