Jaarsma Bakery

The Jaarsma Bakery is a great place to get some delicious goodies. They have all sorts of items you can get. From breads and fresh made egg noodles, to coffee cakes and their famous Dutch letters. Today was the first time I ever went and there wasn’t a line. Whether there is a long line or no line, the employees are always great and friendly.

When visiting Pella, Iowa this bakery is a must. Omg the cookies, breads, cakes, pastries, etc are a must have ! I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. They also have beautiful imported gifts and candies as well. Great friendly service !! Definitely coming back. Thank you !

Very cute. Filled with all things Dutch. The line was very long, but kept moving. There are various trinkets and goods to look at along the way. It's well staffed, but the selection is so large and varied that it can take a bit to look things over and make a decision once you finally get to the front. Prices are very reasonable. Everything was good but very sweet. No seating available. Street parking available nearby. Located on the heart of town so very walkable.

This place is divided in two; one side is a bakery and the other side a gift shop. Great baking goods. Good place to find a souvenir. I gave 2 stars to service because I was standing for 10 minutes on the souvenirs and gift side of the store waiting for someone to assist me, and when nobody came then I went to the bakery side to ask my question and they sent me back to the other side of the store which in order to do that I had to step outside and enter again through the gift shop side which was kind of inconvenient specially in 100 degree weather.

This charming old-school Dutch bakery connected to a souvenir shop was a really pleasant stop 😊🍪 The place has a cozy, traditional vibe that makes you feel like you’re tasting authentic local treats. We decided to try several things — the S-letter cookies, fresh stroopwaffles, goat legs, and cinnamon rolls. Everything tasted quite good and felt freshly made. The staff were also very friendly and efficient, serving customers quickly while still being polite and welcoming 👍 Overall, it was a nice little spot to grab some classic Dutch sweets and enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting if you like traditional bakery treats 🧇✨
