Bakeries in Kalona

“This is one of our favorite bakeries in the area. It is run by the Amish. They do close for a couple months in the winter so don't plan on any goodies then. They have, for several years, been at the Washington Farmer's Market. It opens at 5 pm on Thursdays starting in May through Oct (I believe.) Get there early, there is always a line and they don't allow sales until 5 pm, period.

We love their caramel pecan rolls, whoopie pies, apple fritters, cheese garlic bacon bread, and twist donuts the most. During the mornings while they are still baking it is possible to get warm goodies. The caramel pecan roll was only 15 minutes out of the oven and it was all I could do not to eat it on the way home to save for my family.

My only complaint is that I wished they sold the whoopie pies in either a a smaller pack or better yet, singles. It is dangerous to get them in a larger multi pack.

They do have more than baked goods. They sell, some woodworking (furniture and toys,) wind chimes, books, toys, general goods, a bit of bulk food items, jams etc. There is a seating area for anyone who wants to enjoy their baked goods before hitting the road again.“
