My mom and I showed up about 10 minutes after opening and there was a line of community members bundled up and chatting away outside (nearly 30 people ahead of us in line) as they wait for their turn to pick - I was told it was worth the wait!! As we got to the front of the line, we were greeted with the friendliest staff including the owner (who ran the cash register). This was our first time and they were ready to describe the menu and their personal favorites upon my ask. They have their classic items and then they have monthly seasonal spin on their favorite breads and pastries. With sweet and savory options, there is a unique taste in each classic item. They will take you to Flavor Town!!! You can tell they are made with love. I grabbed a variety of pastries and have them rated below. 1. Classic croissant (not pictured) 2. Sausage roll 3. Almond croissant 4. Wine poached pear tart (seasonal) 5. Lemon curd Kouign Amann 6. Morning Bun

The BEST bakery in Joplin and well worth waiting in line on Saturday mornings. Every month she has…read morenew menu items, always incredible. The staff are kind and welcoming. The environment is clean and well decorated. I have eaten in as well as taken baked goods home many times. Each time has been a wonderful experience, unlike any I've had anywhere else in Joplin. You will feel transported to a European cafe. Add this spot to your "must go to" list.

This bakery is amazing!!!!!! I can't say enough. I came to grove Oklahoma to visit my friend for…read moreher birthday from Southern California and I searched and searched for a great bakery which seemed impossible because there's really no reviews anywhere. Well I put in an order online and asked them to make me strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting that looked like llamas. I emailed them a picture of what I wanted and just kind of hoped for the best not only did the strawberry cupcakes exceed expectations in flavor but the frosting was sooo good I highly recommend ordering any cute or speciality made cupcakes from here. The girl who cashed me out at the register was a sweet heart I can't say enough great things about this bakery Thank you sooo much to the owners and staff at this bakery you made my friends birthday special she loveeeeeeesssss llamas!!!! I wish I could of gotten her an actual llama for her bday but these cupcakes were a close second lol

I cannot possibly recommend heavenly donuts enough. This place is amazing, and if you're in Joplin…read moreyou HAVE to try it out. I was only visiting for two weeks but I came back 5 times because it's just that good. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food is amazing and also really cheap. If you compare heavenly to other donut shops in the area it blows them all away. Also I know there are other reviews for this business, but those reviews are all very old and I wouldn't trust them now. You'll absolutely love heavenly :)

I don't know exactly what brought me into paradise donuts, I certainly wasn't expecting sand or a…read morebeach. Maybe it was just the proximity to my house and the prospect that I could have a place to go to every morning and sip on coffee and eat donuts. The American dream. Anyway, when I first walked in at about 11am (they're open till 130 on fri through Saturday!) I wasn't blown away, but the cashiers did seem friendly, if a little bit forced. "Welcome to paradise!!" Paradise might be a stretch. Of the two donut cases, just one had donuts in it. There certainly wasn't the smell of fresh donuts wasping about and I would bet the donut making process was long gone. I think it's weird that donut shops neglect to use their most powerful marketing weapon, scent, except for in the earliest morning hours when no on is there to smell it. Coffee and drinks are located outside the cashiers grasp, which feels like a truck stop convenient store hybrid. You grab your own coffee too. My donut, an orange creme cinnamon rolly thing, was heated and ok, if a bit uninspiring. All in all, paradise is an ok donut shop if you are looking to get donuts and get out. The chairs are ultra basic and the tables too. I didn't see many power outlets but don't bother plugging in, there isn't wifi. Just another 'meh' donut shop.

The cake was moist and filling were delicious!! The cake looked great. Everyone loved it! The first photo is what I received. The second photo is what I presented when I ordered. I stated I would supply the tractor and farm animals, as I wanted our animals. She was a pleasure to work with. Her price was reasonable! It's really hard to know with your first order if you will get what you wanted. I was very happy with the cake and the service! I recommend Cecy's Cakes to anyone in the Joplin or surrounding areas! Thanks for making his 60th birthday a success!!

My wife, the cookie devotee indicated the cookies we tried were very good to her too. You can often tell if we liked a place if we start telling other people to go check it out or want to take our adult children there. We have been bragging about this place for a week and are anxious to go back and try it again. The service was fast and patient with our questions and indecision. There were other items to purchase around the shop like tea towels and gift boxes of treats. I'm always glad to see businesses popping up across Mainst and revitalizing the area. We were slightly uncomfortable with some of the people hanging out on the street in front of the shop, there seems to be a shelter a few doors down. I hope this does not discourage people from coming in. We also like that it's close to the Beaten Path Coffee shop a couple of food down. Where you will find the best hot chocolate I've ever had!

I actually haven't had a cookie I don't like, but I'm partial to the sugar cookie. (Can't remember its name ) My only complaint is consistency, most days it's a large cookie, but sometimes it's small and that makes me sad. Otherwise I suggest everyone goes and gets a cookie!

The space itself is a clever reuse of a former gas station, fitting since we're just off the Mother Road, Route 66. That history adds a nice layer of character to the industrial‑but‑comfortable setting, with plenty of seating for both solo workers and small groups. I was the first customer through the door this morning and ordered a cortado. It was perfectly prepared: served in the proper short glass, accompanied by a small glass of seltzer as tradition dictates. I set up my laptop at a two‑top table right by a power outlet and settled in for two very pleasant hours. Between the thoughtful service, the quality of the coffee, and the inviting atmosphere, Zinc Coffee made working on the road feel easy. Five stars, without hesitation.
