Dutch Delicious

Another neighboard hybrid bakery/deli/grocery store that seems like neighbor favorite. We had a croissant, cinnamon roll, chocolate torte,raspberry chocolate square. We also found the spice cookies on the grocery area. We wished the front door was not half blocked with inventory boxes. Our favorite was the chocolate torte.

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.  

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.  

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.  

Dutch Delicious smells AMAZING when you walk in.  My mouth immediately started to water.  

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.

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.  

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.  

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.

Real ingredients. Thank you for using real dairy whipped cream!!
