"I needed a cake for a birthday party and the staff at Jody’s perfectly executed my vision! The price was very affordable for the work put in and everyone raved about how great it looked and how great it tasted! I want to come back soon to try the rest of their baked goods."

"I absolutely love everything about this shop! Jody is a sweetheart and it shows in what she and her team cook up and share with the world. The assortment of baked goods and pastries and quiche are delicious and beautiful too! And the shrimp linguine was absolutely scrumptious. I highly recommend adding this shop to your road trip itinerary -- or better yet -- go out of your way to pick up some of this yumminess! It's definitely worth it. I recently had the cream cheese king cake and sausage-cheese bread and decadent cookies!"

"I honestly wasn’t going to write this review, but after talking with a friend I felt like it needed to be said. I’ve always loved Jody’s bakery and the treats they make, so I took my kids there last Saturday. While we were checking out, the older lady working asked what we had planned for the day. I told her we were going to the zoo and then to eat hibachi. Her response was, “I don’t eat that kong fooey food.” I was honestly shocked to hear something that came across as so dismissive and racially insensitive. Especially after having to wait for 5 minutes to be serviced! It made what is usually a positive, family-friendly experience really uncomfortable. I truly hope this is something that gets addressed, because customers shouldn’t have to hear comments like that."

"Jody’s Bakery in Hattiesburg, MS, is a true gem and a hometown staple! 🌟 I’ve been coming here for 30 years, and it never disappoints. Their chocolate chip cookies are perfection—soft, chewy, and bursting with flavor 🍪. The oatmeal cookies are just as incredible, with the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. And let’s talk about the vanilla cakes—moist, fluffy, and downright heavenly 🍰. This bakery feels like home with every bite, and their consistent quality over the decades is unmatched. If you’re in Hattiesburg, don’t miss out on this local treasure! ❤️👏 @jodysbakeryhattiesburg"

"Jody’s always always always exceeds expectations on every cake and other baked goods I’ve ordered. I’ve been getting birthday cakes from here for over 30 years for friends and family. Most of my own birthday cakes have come from Jody’s as well. They’re my favorite! Always fresh and delicious, reasonable pricing and excellent customer service. Their sandwiches and casseroles are delicious too! Hands down the best local bakery in Hattiesburg."
