    It has a ways to go. Only donut shop in town. It simply needs to step up and it would get a ton of business.

    Sweet Al's is excellent! Their donut selection is great, but get there early because they will sell out!

    Stopped for a quick breakfast on the way through town. Case was fully stocked, which was nice to…read moresee. Store appeared very clean. The cashier was very nice and friendly. However, she was confused when I ordered a dozen and a half of an item. I had to explain it was 18- and after paying and walking away, I only received 6. I went back and explained it to her that I had ordered 18. She corrected the mistake/misunderstanding right away. Overall-good experience!

    I really wanted to grab something to snack on, but the lady at the register was just playing with…read moreher hair. I had asked her if the strawberry donut was a cake donut or raised. She tells me it's regular, still playing with hair. I didn't let her mood bring me down. Kind of nasty though since she is handling food and money. 1. Strawberry donut - Donut was good and fresh, strawberry frosting was a little too sweet and thick almost reminded me of eating an airhead. 2. Pumpkin donut - You can smell the pumpkin when you break it in half but when you eat it, it tastes like an old fashioned donut without the crunch from the edges. Didn't taste pumpkin at all. 3. Apple cider donut- you can smell and taste the apple. The donut was fresh and the sugar was messy. Overall, not a bad experience donuts were tasty. I would recommend the lady who plays with her hair be retrained on food safety and handling of food items.

    I just finished a long visit at Sweet Dream Donuts. I consider myself a donut connoisseur…read morevisiting donut shops around the US regularly. This place happened to be located right next to my hotel. Wow ! The donuts were fabulous, customer service superb and plenty of donuts and choices were available as many people streamed through this business. This place is amazing . I needed to catch up on emails and stayed for about an hour. I got a good feel for the ambiance and service. The lovely woman taking donut requests is named Danielle. Every person coming into the shop was greeted with "Hello Friend." Sweet Dream Donuts is a gem and I highly recommend it if you prefer awesome donuts and great service. Next time I'm in St. Joseph Missouri I will definately come back.

    Solid, reliable donuts. I agree with others that they are not greasy, which is essential…read more I had an old fashioned which was fairly good, if not a little plain (I understand it's a rather plain donut to begin with, I've just had better when they have sour cream). The maple bacon was good. The highlight for me was the one that she said is "like fried pound cake". Yes, please--I'd have that one again! My husband had blueberry glazed. He thought they were rather plain. I'd go back as the donuts were very reasonably priced. I'd get the fried pound cake one again, and try others.

    What a wonderful place to enjoy fresh, homemade baked goods!…read more We stopped by to try their famous cinnamon rolls, and they were absolutely incredible. Soft, fresh, and packed with flavor, easily some of the best we've ever had. We also picked up some locally made jam and homemade lemonade, and both were delicious. One of my favorite things about this place is that it's family-owned. You can even see the kids helping their parents, greeting customers, packing orders, and being part of the whole experience. It gives the bakery such a warm and genuine feel that you just don't find very often anymore. Such a lovely experience with a cozy atmosphere. Definately recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Sometimes the best places are the ones you never planned to visit…read more We were just driving through Jamesport when we noticed this little family-owned bakery and decided to stop. The moment I walked inside, I felt like I had stepped back into my childhood. I grew up in another country, and this place reminded me of the small village stores I remember from years ago. It brought back a lot of good memories. Everything here feels homemade. Not "homestyle" as a marketing slogan, but actually homemade. You can tell people take pride in what they make. We tried the cinnamon rolls, a couple of fried pies, fresh lemonade, and later took home some jam as well. The cherry fried pie was probably my favorite, and the cinnamon roll was incredibly soft and fresh. Nothing tasted mass-produced. One thing I really appreciated was the atmosphere. No rush, no pressure, just friendly people doing their work. The kids working at the register were polite, explained everything we asked about, and made us feel welcome. We spent about $19 for everything we bought, which felt fair considering the quality and the fact that almost everything is made from scratch. If you're driving through this part of Missouri, I'd definitely recommend stopping here. It's not just a bakery--it's one of those places that reminds you what homemade food is supposed to taste like. I'll gladly stop again the next time I'm passing through.
