Name-sharing owners Jonathan and John spoil patrons with a host of handcrafted confections, all anchored in high-quality ingredients, such as farm-fresh organic eggs. Bakers tuck sweet potatoes, sugar, and spices into sheets of warm piecrust when sculpting sweet-potato pockets ($3.50 each), perfectly sized for individual dessertists. Each jumbo muffin ($3.50) can soak up one full gallon of coffee while keeping bellies company through lunch, where Beyond Chocolate cookies ($1.50 each; $18/dozen) offer sweet endings to midday meals with dark-chocolate chunks. To potentially improve eyesight while definitely increasing cream-cheese content, customers can snatch up a carrot cake, a classic treat speckled with raisins ($12 for small 6-inch cake; $25 for two-layer 6-inch cake).

Peanut-butter balls earned their local fame at JonJohn’s Bakery by dazzling tongues with the timeless flavor combination of chocolate and peanuts. A crispy rice center awards each brave bite through the orbs' shiny shells, which, like ball gowns, refine appearances and are made from dark chocolate.
