We always have to go to Jaarsma‘s when we are in Pella. Today we were late and they were out of a lot of things. We were able to get a loaf of apple nut bread with the maple frosting, a favorite of ours. We missed out on the raspberry coffee cake. We will be back.

Dutch letters are the main draw but everything else on offer is delicious. Creme cakes, breads, wonderful pastry treats, and decorated cookies. You cannot go wrong!

Everything I've had from there is so good. It is hard to pick a favorite, but probably have to say the Dutch Letters and the Dutch Apple Bread are the top of the list.
