Nestled in the heart of St. Joseph, Missouri, lies a quaint little bake shop that honors a beloved previous owner’s legacy and upholds the integrity of delicious breakfast offerings. Sweet Emotions Bake Shop, previously known as Sweet Emotions Donuts, reopened its doors in September of 2023 with new owners, a new menu and a top-to-bottom makeover.
Owners Brooke Palmer and Anthony Taylor have worked within the culinary realm for years and wanted to take this opportunity to revive a well-loved bakery but provide more than just donuts. They wanted to share their passion with the community and create a welcoming environment while making personal connections with their customers.
One way that they do this is with custom orders such as their personalized donuts. These donuts can be cut and shaped to spell out names or reflect the age that is being celebrated for a birthday. Their celebration of birthdays does not stop there, they also create pupcakes made specifically for the customer’s pups with organic ingredients that are safe for their furry friends to eat and come in a variety of flavors.
While making personal connections with those in the community at their shop is a priority, so is helping the community thrive. You can find them promoting other small, locally owned businesses and organizations as well as participating in many events across the city. They even take time to volunteer at the Animal Shelter and encourage the adoption of animals that need to find their fur-ever homes.
Whether you’re craving a delicious pastry or a perfectly brewed cup of java, Sweet Emotions Bake Shop has something to satisfy every palate. Don’t miss out on the chance to treat yourself to a morning of sweetness – swing by between 6:30 AM and 11:30 AM, Tuesday through Sunday. We promise it won’t be your last visit.
