I'm from Texas, and live in Texas, yet our whole family loves Jaarsma Bakery! I married into a Pella and surrounding area family and have them bring us some of everything when they come visit. SO good! We just don't have a bakery like this down here.

Very good pastries and the prices are reasonable. They need to put a store on each corner, the lines are too long. We keep coming back every year for a bag full of goodies.

Visited this wonderful bakery on Saturday!! Our daughter went to college in Pella and I miss going here and the Ulrich Meat Market. We picked up some dark chocolate raspberry and red velvet cupcakes and my very favorite PUFF PILLOWS and took to our daughter and her husband in Webster City, Iowa. Great place and worth the trip to Pella, Iowa❤
