About Us.

An emporium of earthly delights, JonJohn’s Bakery, LLC is a family-owned and operated specialty dessert bakery located in Rochester, NY. Spouses Jonathan and John, a baker and a teacher by trade, founded JonJohn’s original micro-bakery in 1999 to create homemade, mouthwatering confections for all to taste and enjoy. JonJohn’s is a licensed home production bakery offering a wonderful selection of products through direct orders, local delivery, farmers’ markets, special events and festival engagements throughout New York state.  The bakery’s award-winning Beyond Chocolate Cake, Peanut Butter Balls, Lemon Dream Cake and Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies are just a few of our celebrated specialties.

Jonathan’s maternal grandmother, Hazel, is the inspiration for JonJohn’s delicious creations. She was a strong woman of faith, compassion and stability who believed that no matter what happened in a family’s life, good cooking would make things better. That conviction is not only reflected in JonJohn’s Bakery products, but also in our relationships with our customers. JonJohn’s is proud to source fresh, local ingredients to the greatest extent possible in our specialty foods and desserts. We respect and support small, local farmers, artisans and specialty product vendors as the heart of our business community here in Rochester!
