The Dutch Epicure Shop LLC is the business and life’s work of Wolfgang and Betsy Joas who emmigrated to the United States in 1967 from Germany and Holland respectively. Taking over the simple bakery from an older area Dutchman, the business has now expanded broadly. We are now known region-wide for our European style pastries, breads, cookies and cakes made on the premises, German meats and sausages, Dutch and European cheeses, various fine teas, jams, chocolates from all over Europe, and of course Dutch food and Dutch groceries. With the help of the internet we are creating a following across the country and this year marks our 50th year making us Litchfield’s Oldest Bakery and one of the longest running businesses in the area. Daughter Wilma Joas has been heading the business since 2002 so that Wolfgang and Betsy can enjoy their retirement, but don’t be surprised to see them still lending a hand!
