Reviews for Jaarsma Bakery in Pella, IA
The young boy was very nice and package my products in 2 different boxes as I was dropping one off to family. To much to choose... from. The Carmel corn is some of the best I've ever had. Read more
This bakery is such a special place that reminds you of the rich history of the Dutch in Pella. I love the traditional dress... uniforms and all the beautiful things for sale in the shop section of the store. We usually get the sprouted whole grain bread,some danishes, a Dutch letter or two, and a cupcake for the kiddo. We visit every time we go to Iowa, and my parents (who arelocal) go about once a week.

Great people, great service at very fair prices, never ever disappointed, always delighted. I look forward to the short drive to... Pella to the cleaners because then I get to stop at Jaarsma Bakery for a treat to eat on my road trip back home (Breads,Cookies, Nepolions, Dutch Letters, Cherry Turnovers for my wife and Cream Horns etc, etc). I love this amazing bakery, it's likebeing a kid turned loose in a candy store, they also carry a very large variety of Dutch related gift items. Jaarsma Bakery hasto be seen and experienced in person to be believed. I wouldn't make it a week working there before eating up all their profits,gaining 60+ lbs and then being fired. lol Read more
The best Dutch bakery west of the Mississippi. The smell is intoxicating the moment you walk in the door. There is an assortment... of traditional baked goods such as cookies, Danish, coffee cakes, and donuts while also having a decent selection of Dutch stylebreads and cookies. One of the most popular (and addicting) items are the cherry donut holes--a must try! Prepare for linesout the door on Saturday mornings and around holidays. In case you are having a hard time deciding on what to buy they alsohave a gift box that provides a good variety of Dutch delights. Read more

Lovely lovely experience at Jaarsma! Busier than expected for a chilly Tuesday morning at 9:30 but the staff was super quick (no... wait at all!), attentive, kind, and helpful. The prices are excellent and the pastries are delicious. Highly recommend! Read more
My friends always got me these famous Dutch letters from this bakery. So, recently decided to go in person. It?s completely... different to eat these S shaped dutch letters when they are hot and fresh. I would say they have perfect balance of sweetnessand almond paste. Also, the Almond filled butter cookies and goat legs were delicious. I think the freshness, qualityingredients and less sugar make this bakery unique. Read more
