About this business
History The Jaarsma Bakery in Pella, Iowa has been offering delicious "Dutch Treats" since 1889, when it was founded by Harmon Jaarsma who used recipes he brought over as an immigrant from Holland. A hundred years ago, Harmon had two brick ovens in the bakery that were fired with wood. After the ashes were brushed out, the bread was put in to bake, followed by the buns, Dutch Letters, cookies, and finally rusks as the ovens slowly cooled down before re-firing.

RecommendedIt’s one of those places you HAVE to visit
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.
I grew up loving Jaarsmas! As a kid, my favorite item was their iced sugar cookies. Best icing EVER! I now live in Illinois and just placed my first order to have shipped to my house. I think I can easily say I've never been more excited to see the UPS driver pull into my driveway! Props to Jaarsmas Bakery for packaging everything so nicely and secure. My iced cookies survived the trip well! I've already broke into the bismarks. That creme filling is to die for! Sugar coma, here I come! 😋😋😋 Thank you so much!
Love the Dutch letters and bankets and my personal favorite, apricot streusels.
Everything here is delicious!
I mailed a care package to my son who just moved to New York state and began his career the first of March. Then this COVID-19 hit and he has been working from home. He LOVES the goodies we sent to him from your bakery! Thank you so much for sending the package. It brightened his day!!
Best Dutch letters in Iowa!
