If you or your taste buds have fond memories of J. Rae\u2019s, the bakery once housed on Foch Street and known for its handcrafted sugar cookies and homemade desserts, there is good news.\u00a0<\/p>\n
J. Rae\u2019s is returning to Fort Worth, opening a new location July 16 at 3330 West 7th St., not far from the original location.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bakery was founded in Fort Worth in 2008 by Jana Howell and quickly built a loyal following for its cookies and baked goods before closing in 2013. Now, Audrey Dixon, Howell\u2019s niece who carried the brand forward by opening a Dallas location in 2021, is returning to the city and bringing her sugar cookies with her.<\/p>\n
Like her aunt, Dixon fell in love with baking at a young age. She spent her summers helping at the original J. Rae\u2019s, developing a passion for the business that would later shape her career.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so exciting,\u201d said Dixon, in a news release. \u201cMy aunt Jana started J. Rae\u2019s in Fort Worth, and to now be at a place where we are able to open a second location back where it all started is so special.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And, it\u2019s not like Fort Worth has forgotten J. Rae\u2019s, Dixon said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had customers drive all the way to Dallas just to support us, so being able to serve this community again means everything,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new 1,700-square-foot bakery will look familiar to longtime fans. The new location blends J. Rae\u2019s signature black-and-white stripes and hot pink branding with a feminine, modern interior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Guests can expect J. Rae\u2019s signature hand-decorated sugar cookies alongside an extensive selection of other treats, including fan-favorite flavors ranging from chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies to red velvet, funfetti and lemon cake balls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
