Historic Olde Town Arvada is a great place to shop - you can find the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker - along with a whole lot more.

To find the Rheinlander German Bakery, just avail yourself of a free Olde Town parking space in the 5700 block of Olde Wadsworth, and follow your nose.  This is a second-generation Dimmer family business, begun in 1963 by Ed & Maro Dimmer.

When I visited yesterday, I learned that they've been proud to offer suger free confections for the last 7 to 8 years, and gluten free for the last 4 to 5 years. There's a heart-felt story behind the reason why they offer these products, it's not all about marketing.

Read Maro's story here.  This is an excerpt: "Today when I tell people I cannot have sugar or flour, they immediately assume that I am diabetic. However, the disease I am faced with is cancer."

The sugar-free, gluten-free part of the business is called Sweet Deliverance.

But for those of us who still indulge in the sweet treats of sugar and flour, it's a dizzying experience to spend a few minutes in Rheinlander German Bakery's clean, friendly shop.

My personal favorite is their German chocolate cake. So rich and moist, it's perfecton on a fork.

If you ever have to announce something unpleasant to a group of people, serve something from Rheinlander German Bakery, and they might not even care!

The center of historic Olde Town Arvada is roughly bordered by Ralston Rd., Teller Rd., Grandview Ave., and Yukon St.

Arvada is a historic town about midway between Denver and Boulder in Jefferson County, Colorado. There are many different neighborhood and shopping area styles. Novo Coffee is near the intersection of Wadsworth and 80th Ave., the main north-south and east-west routes through Arvada, near neighborhoods built mostly in the 1970s with wide streets and sidewalks, mature tree canopies, and nice-sized yards.

I write posts focused on local businesses as a public service, and am not endorsing any business, nor do I have any sort of 'relationship' with them, other than as a raving consumer. My hope is to give people an idea of the 'flavor' of the community of Arvada, in case they're new here or considering a move here.

I am a residential real estate agent, and would love to assist you if you're considering buying or selling a home in the northwestern Denver suburbs.
