Dutch Delicious - Edmonton

This is a cozy bakery and deli that specializes in Dutch cuisine. The staff is friendly, conversational, and knowledgeable about the products they offer. I enjoyed cherry and apple turnovers on this beautiful day. The baking was flawless, with no leaks in the turnovers. The flavors were exceptional and everything was freshly baked. It was a wonderful stop for a snack this afternoon.

This bakery/deli/grocery store is a neighborhood favorite. We tried a croissant, cinnamon roll, chocolate torte, and raspberry chocolate square. We also discovered some delicious spice cookies in the grocery section. Our only complaint was that the front door was partially blocked by inventory boxes. Our favorite item was the chocolate torte.

Dutch Delicious is a bakery specializing in Dutch pastries with influences from European and German cuisine. They offer a variety of items including fresh bread, deli meats, cheeses, pastries, coffee, and imported products. I have visited their shop before, but only browsed as I had just eaten lunch.

I am really kicking myself for not finding this gem sooner!  I lived in the neighbourhood for several years and never poked my head in.  <br/ <br/ These folks have a lot of the traditional Dutch staples for sale in their little shop including the wooden clogs!  If you like the salty Dutch licorice, they have quite the selection.  It reminds me a lot of K&K Foodliner, but Dutch instead of German.  <br/ <br/ It is a bakery AND a deli so they have frozen meals available on the far west wall if you would like to try some Dutch food.  I visited in late afternoon on a weekend so there wasn't much for ready made available to buy in the deli.  <br/ <br/ Dutch Delicious smells AMAZING when you walk in.  My mouth immediately started to water.  <br/ <br/ Even in the afternoon, they still had a great selection of pastries to offer. I went in looking for cinnamon buns, which they were out of but they had other tasty things as well.  I chose the chocolate raspberry cake slice and a cinnamon pinwheel.<br/ <br/ The chocolate raspberry cake was really good.  The raspberry was in the butter creme, and I suspect real raspberries are used.  I am not a fan of things that are sickly sweet.  This cake was just right, not too dense.  <br/ <br/ The cinnamon pinwheels are a messy affair to eat. You may want to actually use the bag they come in to catch all the crumbs.  These are nice and cinnamon y and the sugar coating is baked on so you don't get that everywhere too.  <br/ <br/ So shame on me for not stopping in while I lived in the neighbourhood!  I will certainly be back for more goodies and to try out some of the traditional Dutch foods offered by the deli.

I think this bakery is great. I got a few different pastries, they were all great. Service was very friendly. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area
