Great bread and scones! Since they opened they're the only bread I buy and it's worth every penny. Warm, tasty & long lasting without preservatives, this all natural baked fresh bread is the best accompaniment for every meal. They offer sliced and unsliced wheat bread that gives your French toast a kick up! Make your Soul food recipes just like Big Momma made and do your tastebuds a favor. Stop in for your week's supply of Texas love at a Jolly Jolly bakery near you today!

My family and Is experience at this bakery was nothing short of amazing!! When you first walk in, youre greeted with the amazing aroma of their freshly baked bread (which they ship all over the country). James greeted us with such a warm welcome as if we were family. We were there for meat pie (which was by the way) and left with a complimentary loaf of hot bread. We were visiting from out of town and on our way to the airport. Had we discovered this place when we first arrived to Dallas, this would have definitely been a regular stop!! Thanks so much to the owners for their hospitality
