The service was friendly and professional, the shop cute, and the format is novel. I know these are popping up all over the US and many people love them but I simply did not like the cookies. We went in with friends who were raving about it and said they went in every week where they live in TX. So I was expecting something amazing. I like a cookie that's a little bit crisp and a little chewy. All the various we bought were thick and cake-like instead of the texture I prefer. I have to say the cookies were all pretty, and the topping was well applied but like a cake, they require a lot of frosting which was too much for me. Most people cut the cookies in quarters because they are too rich. Again, evidence for me that they are too thick, dense, and cake-like. They even sell a four-way cookie cutter for you to take home. To me if a cookie is so rich I have to cut it up in pieces it's too thick and too large. You know how you can bake cookies at home and if you let yourself you could eat a plate of them? Or buy a bag of mini cookies at the gas station, or from the cookie shops in the mall and eat them by yourself? That's how cookies should be to me. Obviously, most people disagree considering how popular this place is. If you're a big fan of cupcakes I think you might love Crumbl. If you like cookies as you bake at home, the way grandma bakes them, at a mall-style cookie shop, or prefer a firmer, crips-edged but chewy inside this might not be your favorite place. But give them a try, they have different flavors every week and clever variations.

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.

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.

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.
