About Us
We're The Bread Board, and we've been a bakery here in Pella, IA since 2018. We believe that homemade food tastes better. That's why we make everything from scratch in our bakery, from our signature sourdough artisan bread to pastries and soups. We're looking forward to partnering with Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Iowa City, and the surrounding area to continue to offer bread made fresh, baked on-site, and crafted to bring out the best in every recipe. We'd like to personally invite you to come in and try some of our tasty treats, today!

Trifecta of food, service and ambience! I've had chicken salad croissant, summer salad, incredible bread puddings, bakery goods. All awesome. The bakery will sell out almost every day so if that's your jam, get there early for best selection. The rosemary braid pictured is about 8" long and made of croissant dough. Wonderful!

What a great lunch stop! Went in on a Friday around 12:30 and the bank place was pretty full, but there were a few tables available.
I stepped up to the lunch counter and ordered the 1/2 Dried Beef Gouda Melt. The sandwich came out quickly, with a real plate and silverware, which is a nice touch.
The sandwich was delicious! Fresh, tasty bread and tasty Gouda. The combination of beef, cheese, and sauce was right on spot.
It's a cool old building with lots of seating, self-service water (another nice touch), and lots of bread, dessert, soup, and other options to grab and go.
Pleasant and friendly service.

This is a must stop whenever I visit Pella! I love the chicken salad croissant, and every soup I've tried has been excellent.
