Supreme Bakery

Springfield has Supreme Bakery. Joplin has Walmart. So Unfair! Joplin needs a Supreme Bakery, please! I try to plan my trips to Springfield from Joplin a day in advance so I can order 2 of the Carmel Crunch Cake. Oh, so good. The Lemon Poppy seed Cake is tasty, but the Carmel Crunch Cake is WOW.

I always buy the cake slices because they are so moist, delicious and have lots of icing. Well today they had almond and it has to be the most incredible cake I’ve ever had. The red velvet, coconut and strawberry cakes are also amazing. The Kringles are delicious! Love, love, love Supreme Bakery! The staff are very friendly! I’d give them 10 stars if I could!

I absolutely love home grown bakeries. Not fad pastry shops. Or pretentious over blown trends. What I like is a good cookie. A good donut. A good Danish. And something different — the cream horn maybe! The donuts are large and looked lovely. The Danish were shiny fresh and plentiful. But where I entered into this wonderful establishment was with their Kringle. First of all — there is always a sampler of a flavored Kringle on the counter. Flavor combos galore. Order the night before and pick up in and out fast. Hats off to this spot for their cleanliness. And friendliness. I will never in my lifetime try to make a Danish like pastry and now I won’t ever have to. Easy in easy out parking makes it easy to get what you need. Springfield this place is a gem. Check it out!!!

Previous reviews seem harsh. Just like most eateries, Supreme Bakery has created a niche. Instead a ordering a cupcake, next time try a lemon teacake or splurge on a kringle. These are both delicious treats.

Wow… with the boom in the popularity of cupcakes, and the fact that you are going up against chains like Gigi’s and The Cup, I’m amazed this place doesn’t try harder. You get these short little cupcakes that look like they were frosted by an 8 year old. I am 100% POSITIVE the frosting is Pilsbury from those little jars. There is nothing homemade, special, imaginative, or exciting about these cupcakes. This is boxed cake, premade frosting, and a tragic attempt at frosting. If you are going to charge someone money for something that they can make themselves at home for under $ 3, at least TRY to make it look good. These things are just sad.

Supreme seems pretty overstated for this bakery. After experience, a number of other worthy adjectives come to mind like… ordinary and pedestrian. I’ve had a few of the morning pastries like the danish and cinnamon roll, as well as some fruit muffins and the chocolate chip muffin. More recently, I went for a glistening halloween ghost cookie.
The pastries were tasty despite being a touch dry, the chocolate chip muffin was a little confusing, and the fruit muffin was the best. The choc. chip muffin’s exposed top was a minefield of enticing chocolate chips… (too many actually). But the interior was nothing but vacant yellow cake. I want my chocolate mingled throughout the treat! However, The fruit muffin did have proper distribution of berries and cake, and was generally soft and pleasing. The cookie was the biggest miss. It looked fantastic… but it tasted artificial… Like if I had planted my face in a bag of crusty powdered sugar. It also tasted and felt a tad old. Perhaps that led to the over saccharine flavor. I just know it was one of the first cookies in ages that I didn’t finish…
Supreme Bakery is pretty inexpensive and average if you are looking for a sweet pick me up. I will mention that every time I am there they have some glorious looking cakes, and perhaps this is their forte…

This is a nice, simple little bakery. The pastries lean towards more comforting than extravagant: good danishes that aren’t overly rich, wonderfully fluffy muffins that aren’t overly sweet, and cinnamon rolls that continue that theme-​delicious, but not so rich and sweet that you feel like napping afterwards. They had some different type of cakes that I can’t even remember the names to right now, but looked very hearty, with nice pieces of baked in. Also, they have donuts, simple glazed donuts. One can only imagine that they offer some more varied pieces the earlier you get there. I’m just not sure I can bring myself to get anywhere before 9 on a day off… If it means anything to you, they have won a bunch of Best Bakery awards from 417 Magazine. The prices are pretty good as well. For 2 cinnamon rolls, a pecan danish, and a blueberry muffin, it came to about $ 6. The only thing missing? Some kind of sausage roll, or breakfast protein. Someday… but! I will definitely go back.
