The Jaarsma bakery is the best bakery! They have so many delicious treats that are all so incredibly fresh! When we visit our grandparents there in Iowa we always go out of our way to stop in Pella. You can get your treats then walk over to the square and eat in a beautiful setting. The Dutch letters are out of this world! It's a place you must stop!
