BESTBAKERYEVER!!! I cannot say enough about this bakery. It is amazing. Their glazed donuts are the BEST I have ever had. They are light & fluffy and melt in your mouth. They are fresh & warm when you buy them. And you can’t beat the price…$ 7.50 for a dozen. The fruit filled donuts are delightful also. It is worth the drive on a Saturday morning for these little bits of heaven. Get there early… there is a line to purchase these masterpieces. Hours are 7am-5pm Monday-Saturday.

I saw the sign on the way to Kalona and decided that I might stop on the way back to Iowa City. Oh my goodness, I am so glad I did! The bakery goods are to die for! This honestly was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had, and I am a cinnamon roll connoisseur! The bread was incredibly soft and the frosting, a caramel based frosting was a perfect match. Oh my yum! The doughnuts are also delicious. I was dying to try the half moon pies, but honestly I was way too full. All I can say, get off the main road and make a stop here!

Where to start? Hmmmm… the supreme, best I have ever eaten, dream about glazed donuts. The girls and I take a trip to this little hidden gem, as well ass asurrounding area, every year. I call ahead to order a vairied supply of pies(I have them made and unbaked, yet frozen) Then eat scrumptious glazed donutrs while they prepare the order. Everything in the bakery is fresh and clean. The moon pies are gobbled on the way home to Omaha. Amid of course a variety of other wonderful baked goods. Well, worth the trip at least once or twice a year!

Was a little skeptical after my first trip here. I got a loaf of their rye bread, and while good, it was too soft to even spread peanut butter on. That’s a big ol’ bummer right there. However, Half moon pies? Pretty damn good. Who needs a whole moon? Glazed donuts? Awesomely fluffy. Cinnamon raisin bread? Holy shit. I ate the whole loaf in 24 hours. No butter, no spreads, just me pulling slice after slice out of the bag and shoving them into my grubby little mouth. Their bread really isn’t suited to my general purposes of sandwich making, but that doesn’t really matter. Everything I’ve had here has been a delicious treat, and I can’t wait to try some more.

The Golden Delight Bakery is possibly the best bakery ever ever. The name alone speaks to exactly what the place is and upon entering you’re greeted by smells that remind you of love and happiness. The magic is located inside a small house that sits about a mile off the main road. Seriously, it’s too bad we can’t take a picture of smells. Our purchases today included some delicious crescent rolls, a «half-moon» — effectively a turnover, and a caramel pecan roll that was simply amazing! The selection of pies, donuts and other pastries isn’t overwhelming, but this is serious quality. The cookies are also particularly good with the oatmeal chocolate chip here, being the only ones that have ever rivaled my moms! Everything is made just behind the swinging doors and coming out throughout the day. Upstairs lives a lovely gift shop that contains an eclectic mix of items including baby dolls, rocking chairs, Amish themed books and Grandfather clocks. Plenty to keep you busy before taking your delicous baked good back home. We’re discovered the place we’ll be coming for all our delicious bakery needs. Visit it once and it’ll be an instant classic. This is one of a growing number of spots we’ll be taking our family and telling friends about. Not even, well worth trying, it’s a must try.

Golden Delight Bakery is housed in a little farm house off a gravel road. If you are coming from Iowa City, drive past the cheese factory and towards Kalona, turning onto Johnson-Washington. The shop will be about a mile down the road on your right. Watch out for horse and buggies(this is Amish country, after all!) While the bakery is not much to look it, the pies and other baked goods make it worth the trip. Run by the Amish, the shop is gaslit and has no electrical appliances. Instead it carries the best sticky buns I have ever had in my entire life. They are baked fresh daily and come with a goey white frosting or a caramel-pecan topping(the latter is my personal favorite). On busy days it is worth hovering by the back door in hopes of getting a tray of fresh sticky buns to take on the road. I have not tried the pies, but they look spectacular. If they are anywhere near the unbelievable deliciousness of the sticky buns then I’m sure they are worth a try. And about those sticky buns… Imagine a soft, warm, fluffy, freshly baked, melt-in-your-mouth roll topped with just the right amount of caramelized sugar and just the right amount of pecans. Every time we have bought a platter of these buns, they were demolished in a single evening. To be honest, because these buns are fresh, they are really best eaten the day they are baked. After a day or so they are reduced to the level of really really good sticky buns(instead of amazingly fantastically delicious best-you’ve-ever-had sticky buns on the day of). Go here, if only for the sticky buns.
