What Is One Of The Best Bakeries In Iowa?

The Amana Colonies Bakery & Cafe was called the best in the Amana shopping district. With these old-school German specialties, this spot is really one of the bests with a unique treat. Onlyinyourstate went on to say,

You don't even have to walk two minutes before you come to the Amana Colonies Bakery & Cafe, another mainstay of the Amana shopping district. This old-school German bakery specializes in cookies and pastries straight from the old country - many of which can only be found here.

Some of the desserts you can find at the Amana Colonies Bakery & Cafe include:

  • Almond coffee cake - topped with rich frosting and maraschino cherries.
  • Apple strudel -  flaky and packing a cinnamon-accented apple pie filling.
  • Streusel bread - one of the signature cakes here, you can usually find seasonal versions like pumpkin bread.

They also have other options here.

Of course, man can not live by sweets alone - so you'll want to pick up some of the old-school German breads baked here daily.

The Amana colonies are pretty iconic in Iowa, and the bakery here is truly one of the best.
