Jeri’s Back Home Bakery

Wow! We just went to Jeri’s for the first time. The bakery is adorable! The service was amazing and the treats were delicious. We bought 6 types of cookies and they were all chewy and yummy. We also bought cherry cobbler, a brownie and a cupcake. I can’t wait to devour them with friends this weekend. This place is a gem!

Jeri’s was great before, with new management, it’s even better!
They have mastered the art of packing in big time flavor while keeping the cookie/​cake ball/​cupcake moist with just the right texture. Of course, the helpful and friendly staff is just «icing on the cake» (sorry, I couldn’t resist!).
The other stuff, cobblers and such, are creative and delicious, but I try not to think about them. That way I can just go in for a cookie, and it really isn’t my fault if something totally unexpected appears in front of me and simply HAS to be added to the load of stuff going home with me.
This is a great local business — give it a try!

This place just oozes small town charm! Upon walking in your eyes are treated to a smörgåsbord of treats behind little glass cases. I chose the butter pecan cupcake (definitely big enough to split) and 4 cake balls. OMG the almond cake ball (the white one in the pic) was deeeeelicious and very pretty with the glitter icing. I also highly recommend the spice cake ball-​super moist and not too sweet. This place is doing it right. If you are dieting stay far, far away!

We love this bakery and have visited several times over the last 2 years. The cutest bakery ever and always helpful staff. Always consistent, fresh and delicious. Try the chocolate chip, lemon-​glazed — and for sure the frosted sugar cookies — my very favorite! My kids always get cakeballs of different flavors and they’re always delicious. My latest awesome finds were the Italian cream cupcakes and the pumpkin bread — which was absolutely amazing! My kids never like pumpkin anything, but they both wanted Jeri’s p/​bread for dessert in their lunchboxes!

I would not patronize this bakery if the food was free, and they delivered it. The staff posted the application of an applicant on social media, belittling the applicant. This was lower than low. They owe an apology, and probably need a lawyer. SHAME on them.

My friend suggested I go here for cupcakes that I needed for a little birthday get together. The cupcakes were terrible. The cake was so dry it was hard to swallow, and the icing was just plain nasty. These were worse than Walmart cupcakes. I will never go here again for any baked goods. Don’t go here if you’re looking for quality.

I LOVE the thumbprint cookies! Oh yeah, and the sand cookies! Oh yeah, and the ranger cookies! And the wedding cake cupcake (the best cupcake I have ever had). A previous reviewer pointed out the lack of selection. This is a locally owned business that tries to anticipate the public’s need for each day and not have a lot left over at the end of the day. IMO, It would be difficult to stay in business if there was a lot of waste. Ok, back to my review: and I love the ugly pies! Delicious and just enough to share with another person… except I don’t. I eat the whole thing!!! And when my family, including extended family, wants a special cake for a celebration, we go to Jeri. She made our parent’s cake for their 50^th wedding anniversary and we just described our parents to her and told her we would trust her judgment as to the decorating. The only thing we requested is that it be in a tiered wedding cake design. When we went to pick it up it was so perfect for my parents that I got tears in my eyes. Seriously. Not even kidding. We still get comments from folks that attended the party on how good the cake was. To make a long story a little longer… this is a very good bakery and they put a lot of detail into special orders. Oh, and as is always the case, you get what you pay for and quality always costs a little more. :-)

Our experience here was hit or miss.
In general, the selection was small. 8 cupcake types, 6 cookie types, and 4 cake ball types. They also sold cinnamon rolls, pies, and cakes in very limited quantities.
The atmosphere is cute, but the bakery just has a few tables for customers. There were only two other small groups visiting the bakery but there were traffic flow problems around the shop.
Cinnamon Rolls — 5 stars
These are why we visited Jeri’s in the first place, and we are still glad we made the stop. These are the real deal– not your over processed cinnabon. Homemade, with a hint of wheat, these giant buns were sticky, sweet, and flavorful! Hint: They also microwave well so take one for the road.
Cookies– 3 stars
We tried the snicker-​doodle and molasses cookies which were large, chewy, pretty good, and tasted homemade. We also tried the sand cookie which was very similar to a mexican wedding cookie. It was a little dry but not bad.
Cupcakes-​2 stars
They were $ 2.75 each, which was a little steep. We tried the Chocolate Italian Crème (icing was bland and cake was dry) and Peanut Butter Chocolate (icing was good and cake was ok). However, for the price, we expected more… like wider selection, more original selection, super tasty icing, and moist cake.
If we are in the area again, we will most likely return for the cinnamon rolls and we’ll probably try the cake balls.
