The Cottage offers everything from Grab'n go meals to catered parties; and everything in between. All made fresh daily! The Cottage Bakery has been serving the Iowa City area for over twenty years.
It started as a little cottage on Linn Street downtown Iowa City. Now, we're located on Gilbert and Benton but still provide all the basics that the old cottage used to. We make everything in store daily with fresh ingredients. So it's not just made fresh, it's baked fresh ... everyday! We can do anything from catering a huge party, to baking a cake. We have daily specials on soup and hot lunch.
Operating as usual
Happy New Year to all of you!
I hope that 2020 wasn't a complete mess for everybody and that 2021 will bring us back to a new and better normal.
All of us have started new jobs and different adventures since the closing of our beloved Cottage. Life is ever changing and we adapt well!
I have noticed the signs in the windows of The Cottage saying that we are reopening in the spring. 'We' are not. There is a new business going into that location and that business is purchasing some of our equipment. They are also keeping the awning up and, therefore, using the name. They will not have our business model, recipes, website or phone number. I am getting this out there ONLY to avoid confusion. I appreciate hearing from so many of you, and am sorry to say that we have no intention of reopening at this or any other location at this time.
I do wish this new business, and all new businesses, the very best and hope that they all become important participants in our community.
All the best to all of you! ❤
Peace,
Judy

Hi Everybody!
I hope this finds all of you healthy and safe. It is with a very heavy heart that I am announcing the closing of The Cottage.
I want to thank each and every one of you that were a part of it in any way.
All of the employees, past and present, are the very best people and I have been so incredibly lucky. Tracy Frakes, Keri Gates, Zach Ehl, Marian Good, Jackie Mills, Sarah Sanford, Becky Keep and Johnny Gates--there are just no words for the deep gratitude I have for you. Thank you. I will just miss you all so.
Our customers are what we did this all for, and to say thank you is not enough. Our regulars are amazing--you brightened our days, cried, ranted, laughed and loved with us. Thank you. We all love you and will miss you dearly.
A very special thank you to Lora Miller (Alberhasky) for making this beautiful Cottage a reality and such a wonderful part of my life.
Be safe and be kind.
Mad love!
Judy Gates
Hello everybody! We have made the incredibly difficult decision to temporarily close our doors tomorrow at 3PM. We really think it is best for us and the community to do so. We will see you on the other side of this ordeal. We are going to focus on our families and help our community in any way we can during these difficult times. That all said, we will have many cakes and goodies tomorrow. We hope to see some of you. We wish health and wellness to each and everyone of you, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our family. With much love, Judy, Tracy, Marian, Jackie, Sarah, Zach, Becky , and last but never least, Johnny.
