Wow this place has everything! Need a bolt of cloth? Shoes? Toys for the Kids? Kitchen items? You can find it here. Is this place such a magnet of commerce to an IA city of 300? That is totally a guess, but parking is difficult, especially on the weekend. Honestly, that's a relative issue. The farthest you will park is about a block away. As stated, this is a classic general store. It also has the Target issue where things will magically come into your cart that you don't need, but you are caught up in the moment. For example, I am not sure how, but I have a jar of prickly pear jelly, a jar of pickled beets, 2 pounds of Durham wheat, and a number of other goodies that I didn't need, but I am happy that they are in my possession and safely made its 7-hour journey back home. It will get crowded on the weekend, so be courteous and patient with your fellow patrons. If you are in the area, it is truly a cool place to visit during your Iowa sightseeing adventures.

Amazing! There's a little bit of everything. Very charming store. Well maintained and clean. Friendly staff. And above all amazing prices!

We come here every time we're in the area. The store has a huge selection of just about everything!!! From groceries to souvenirs to sewing and crafting, lots of clothes to choose from as well. We love all the special buys they have. Always top quality at low prices. It is a must stop for us when in southeast Iowa!!!

well the trip was a bust... bad time to shop in there sat 1:00 pm.... best times to get in here are early am during the week. the place was packed... a few folks wearing a mask.... i found one thing out of my 200 items list... and i got the last 2 in stock! WOW! they were sold out of lots of stuff... hard to restock with that many folks in there! most cards accepted here.

Prices are a little higher than I remember, I useto live in the area and was here multiple times a week. Love the free ice cream cone and drinks while you shop.

We love shopping here. They have some great quality stuff, along with things in bulk. The spices are pretty plentiful and I find most of their things in better quality than aldi, walmart and hyvee. The workers are always pleasant and friendly, they have beautiful musical clocks that are well made, they are pricey because of the quality, along with the shoes. They also have like a clearance section. Great place to look around and shop at. We always enjoy it.

Always enjoy shopping in this store. My wife buys presents - stuff like games and puzzles - that she claims is just as cheap as Walmart and I like getting spices and seasonings. We always buy blueberries when in season. They are shipped from Michigan and better quality than what you get at Hy-Vee or Aldi. The popcorn is much cheaper and better quality that what I get at Hy-Vee. My only disappointment with the store in our visit on 7-17-20, besides being sold out of blueberries, was the employees' total disregard for our safety during this pandemic. Not a single employee was wearing a mask and no signs reminding customers to social distance. Only 40-50% of the customers were wearing masks. The place is always crowded. One good thing, unlike similar stores in the Kalona area, this place accepts credit cards, very important in these modern times.

Awesome store! Lots of good deals & fun gadgets for the kitchen. Has a gift like shop connected to it. Watch prices, some are a steal some are priced like any other store. Workers very friendly. Wall of candy you can bag and weigh yourself, my girls thought that was so neat. Beef tenderloin 4.99/lb!! Tons of fresh spices.

I stop here almost every trip to Iowa and load up on stuff. They always have great deals. I absolutely love them and wish they had a store near KC. Today they went above and beyond and I walked away with possibly the best service experience I have EVER had. I told grandpa that I would make him a mince meat pie. My grandma use to make and can mince meat and grandpa loves it. He seldom gets mince meat now. Dutchmans is the only place I know where I can buy it. It's not grandma's, but grandpa enjoys it. I stopped and there were no cars. I pulled up to the door and a sign said they were closed. They had been closed over an hour. My heart sunk. I saw people inside and figured it was worth a try to see if they would let me buy some. After knocking a couple of times a man came to the door. I asked if I could get some mince meat even though they were closed. He very happily let me in and told me to take my time and that I was welcome to shop and get anything else I needed. I quickly found the mince meat, paid, and thanked him over and over. He told me he couldn't lock anyone out who needed something. You don't often find this kind of service and care for customers. I can't even begin to express adequately and fully how thankful I am.
