Lynden Dutch Bakery

We were able to visit it only once 3 years ago. Since then they were closed for renovation. Tried to stop by today, but got warm welcome notice that due to "safety reasons" they don't work 24 Dec - 26 Dec. Why don't own a decision and just say - "we are closed these days" and that's it. Such "safety reasons" sounds like a BS and excuses. Closed? I'm fine. But own it! Don't give some lame reasons. Banner just at the entrance "eat local" is so ironic. Not sure if we'll give one more try next time.

Bought a raspberry coffee cake for Thanksgiving get together and it was rather like massive sugarcoating with cinnamon and maybe two pieces of raspberry throughout the entire sheet cake?! If they're going to call it raspberry coffee cake, then they should be putting some raspberries in it and not be so skimpy about the ingredients, I have also bought the blueberry coffee cake with the same results almost no blueberries.

I was in Lynden a few weeks ago and stopped in to the Lynden Dutch Bakery and, wow, what a cute little spot! I was in a rush, so unfortunately I didn't get to sit and enjoy what I bought, but it was all goooood. I ended up getting a loaf of banana bread, a (very large) cream puff, lemon bundt cake, and some stroopwaffels. Oddly enough, the absolute best thing I bought was the banana bread. It had this rich, dark flavor and reminded me of how my grandma used to bake. It was wonderful and I can't wait to stop in again!

I only leave reviews if a place is really great or really not great. Guess which one this is?!?!What happened to this place? Went for lunch and received a nasty, doughy bagel sandwich that had been heated in a microwave, a lukewarm cup of split pea soup that was so thick and dry that my spoon stood up (and not in a good way), and a cold, dry roll. Inedible. We took a few bites and threw it away. While we were there, we watched three groups of people leave due o the long wait time. What a mess.

Loved this place! I can't wait to come again and again.While I was there the owner/baker (not exactly sure) came out and chatted with a young couple who had special ordered lavender cupcakes for their wedding. The couple was so pleased, and the owner/baker was kind and cordial. We ate a doughnut which was glazed, twisted with a bit of cinnamon, and clearly homemade in style. We had a flourintine that was crispy and sweet, which was nice because they get soft and soggy easily. We got a cookie for our daughter. I'm sure it will be devoured, as it is pink and sparkly. If I had to pick a con, then I would say the espresso was too strong/dark for my taste. But that's really just a matter of preference, and merely something to be aware of.

Visiting my mom's hometown of Lynden to try the Dutch Bakery. I know I've been here before, but probably 40 years ago. Wife had seen a segment on King5Evening and wanted to try it on our next visit. Everything looked good, wife & daughter had a tough time deciding. Settled on a cherry strudel (apple was sold out), blueberry muffin, and a raspberry macaron, washed down with a couple of lattes. Interesting historic timeline on wall, and fun oldtime decor. Come early for best selection. Indoor/outdoor seating available.

It has been awhile since here and recall it being good yet not exactly what was expecting. Hope for more of a traditional bakery, which this isn't, yet it was still good. They have a lot of sweets and stuff like that here. Enjoyed and will be back if want this type of bakery.

Super cute and cozy bakery on the main drag in Lynden. My pattern lately seems to be going to bakeries in the late afternoon on weekends, when the best stuff is usually picked over and the pastries have been sitting in the case for a while. Today was no different as it was almost 3 pm. That didn't matter! Their cinnamon roll, which is the size of my face, was delicious with a ton of cream cheese on it. It's a multi-sitting size roll. I also picked up an almond pie, a maple bar for the husband, a lemon white chocolate muffin (also delicious and moist) and 2 ollibrullers. Fabulous. Minus a star for the odd checkout experience. In addition to pastries, they sell some Dutch cocoa, large coffee cakes, chocolates, etc. I picked up 2 nice chocolate bars to go with my haul, and the girl just scratched her head trying to ring them up. She told me they weren't in the system. A manager came by to help her and, I guess picked a price and said, "That looks fair." The girl told me the bars are $3.99 a piece and that it's sort of the price they settled on since they didn't have them in their system. I told her never mind. I asked if the bars were new to the shop and she said no, not really.Huh? Weird. Whatever. Everything else was-- in Afrikaans as I don't know proper Dutch -- "baie lekker"

Lovely cozy bakery with delicious coffee a gorgeous view of the downtown and all the gorgeous flowers on the main street.

Amazing bakery items. Unique Dutch style treats. Service is attentive but a little slow.
