With a staff dressed in traditional Dutch outfits and fresh pastries filling an entire room, Jaarsma smells and looks about as close to bakery heaven as you can get. The sheer amount of pastries, breads, cookies, and treats is impressive. You can also grab various foods and sides, along with a great collection of Dutch products that won't disappoint. I arrived around midday, and some of the favorites were already gone or running low, which probably tells you everything you need to know. I was on a mission for the letter "S" pastries and the cream-filled bars, and they absolutely delivered. Since I had flown into Pella on a private plane, I also ordered some thank-you treats to bring home for a few supportive people in my life. It was the perfect place to find something unique and memorable. If you come to Pella, you come here. It's really that simple. Do not miss Jaarsma....your stomach will thank you!

Jaarsma is deserving of this 4-star review based on its size, selection and general quality. Please…read moreunderstand that's not a bad thing. They did a nice job on the Dutch letter and Chicago Cubs frosted sugar cookie that I tried. I did find the place to be overrated compared to the mass' reviews and the legend that it has outside of Pella. But no doubt, you kind of "have to" go there if you're in Pella. Hopefully a 5-star experience awaits you.

I exited I-35 at the State Line US 69 exit and drove up to Lamoni the scenic way, hoping to stop at the Linden Street Coffeehouse downtown. Unfortunately, they had just closed, but it was cool to see various Amish horse drawn buggies out on the road. That left Casey's General Store as a coffee choice, although I should have probably continued on the Amish Country Store forward on to I-35. At the same time, Casey's coffee is pretty solid, as is their overall snack selection. In this case, that was a chocolate chip cookie. The bonus is that various members of the community are out and that helps remind me of where I came from. That stated with a gaggle of high school kids outside and ended with the elderly lady taking "forever" to write a check for her purchase.

Every person coming into the shop was greeted with "Hello Friend." Sweet Dream Donuts is a gem and I highly recommend it if you prefer awesome donuts and great service.
