It’s more than a 5,000 mile journey from Utah to Scandinavia and the Netherlands, but you don’t need to take a long trip to get a taste of Denmark, Norway, or Sweden. There’s a quaint little shop with a windmill right on top, and it’s full of imported treats.
The Old Dutch Store opened in 1978, and it's been a neighborhood favorite ever since. You'll find it on the corner of 2700 South and Highland Drive.
Address: 2696 Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, UT, 84106
This charming shop is full to the brim with delicious treats from the Netherlands and Scandinavia. The shop is small, but you'll want to spend an hour or so browsing through everything.
You'll find all kinds of unique gifts from around the world here. From wooden shoes to kitchen items and cookie jars, you're certain to find something you'll want to take home.
When you're done gathering all the European treats you can find, head over to the deli. You can get imported cheeses and meats, or order up a sandwich.
The sandwiches are fresh and tasty, and have European-themed names like The Stockholm, The Munich, The Netherlander, and The Bavarian. Shown is The Vienna, which is liverwurst and havarti cheese on a rosette bun.
If you'd rather take your lunch to the park (or back to the office), order a boxed lunch. It includes a sandwich, pickle spear, Dutch cookie, and your choice of potato salad or chips.
