One of the best bakeries in Arizona is hiding in an unexpected place - within a country store at an inn nestled deep inside the Kaibab National Forest. This family-owned spot churns out 17 different types of fresh-baked cookies, among other sweet treats. It's the perfect pit stop on the way to or from the Grand Canyon (or any time you're looking to treat yourself)!
Located within the Kaibab National Forest just 45 minutes from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Jacob Lake Inn has offered a tranquil escape to locals and travelers alike since 1923.
The inn offers hotel and motel rooms as well as cozy log cabins, so there's an accommodation for everyone. You've never seen mountain or woodland views quite like those afforded by the lodging options here.
In addition to the breathtaking scenery, the inn's country store attracts visitors from all over the state.
Home to one of the best bakeries in Arizona, this old-time general store boasts a whopping 17 different types of cookies, all baked fresh daily using cherished family recipes.
Cookie flavors vary throughout the year, but there are several permanent fixtures, including good old-fashioned chocolate chip.
Other notable flavors include German chocolate, lemon raspberry, chocolate parfait, lemon zucchini, and so many more.
Upon taking your first bite, you'll swear your taste buds have been transported straight to heaven. Nothing compares to homemade baked goods - especially when love is the first and foremost ingredient.
The bakery also offers fresh breads, ice cream, pies, muffins, turnovers, brownies, and several other decadent treats.
If you need a little savory to balance out all the sweetness, the sandwiches are just as delicious as all the desserts. The fluffy, house-made bread and locally-sourced meats are the icing on the cake.
The inn also has a restaurant that's open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. From buttermilk pancakes to hearty burgers to delicious steaks and seafood dishes, there's no better way to refuel after a full day of hiking and sightseeing.
