Cup -n- Cork in Downtown Cape Girardeau, MO

Okay, so we all know I am a coffee-aholic.  Yep, I could drink coffee, or coffee like beverages all day long. 

That is how I discovered Cup-n-Cork in Downtown Cape Girardeau, Missouri. 

I was invited by a friend to meet for coffee and while I did not fall in love with friend (pun intended) I did fall in love with Cup-n-Cork's coffee, so in love I not only went back for coffee over and over, I went back for lunch.

Cup-n-Cork is not your typical restaurant, it is unique and something you wouldn't typically think to find in small town America. 

The staff is extremely friendly, the food is wholesome, and setting.....well it is totally hip!  Yep, I just classified it as hip. 

You can grab your favorite coffee (any time of the day), you can catch a great meal (rather it be friends or business), and you can sip wine with your sweetie (or your gal pals). 

Cup-n-Cork is located in Downtown Cape Girardeau, MO.   If you ask me, I say hit there for lunch, leave the car parked and start walking the downtown area of Cape Girardeau (great shopping). 

Sugar Buzz Bakery in Cape Girardeau, MO

It is a Foodie Friday; my kids are hyped up on sugar from the Sugar Buzz Bakery in Cape Girardeau, MO. 

We found a tiny piece of Heaven right here in @VisitCape! #tmom #travel #food via beckydavenport

This is probably the one of the few times I have allowed my kids and my taste buds be influenced by a commercial, but we saw this place recently on a commercial and immediately Lesse screamed “Mom, we must try it!”  I agreed, as we had to be in Cape Girardeau early the other morning and well what better way to kick off a holiday weekend than with Cupcakes for breakfast.

Our affection or addiction to bakeries, cupcake stores, and sweet shops happened months ago while Lesse and I were on our Mom and DaughterRoadtrip to Chicago.  Lesse had only one place she wanted to visit in Chicago and that was Sprinkles!  Now every time she sees a bakery she tells me “mom I wonder if it is as good as Sprinkles” well Sprinkles being world famous and on the Food Network, it is hard to compare. 

The Southern Sweets Dessert Company in Cape Girardeau Missouri

I know it does not come to a shock to you all that in our house we have love for sweets, well maybe not Momma so much as those rotten sweet tooth sidekicks of mine!

Last fall the kids and I stumbled upon this cute little ice cream parlor located in the Spanish Street Mercantile on Spanish Street in Downtown Cape Girardeau.  Well we have waited to give this little shop a proper food review until we have thoroughly tested the joint over and over and over….okay we became addicted to the place. 

Yesterday we were Downtown bumming around, stopped off at the little shop one more time, and we decided it was time to give our favorite Ice Cream Parlor a review.  Except this little Ice Cream Parlor is no longer just a little Ice Cream Parlor…..Eeeek They have EXPANDED & renamed themselves The Southern Sweets Dessert Company.  This brings a completely new problem to the table for us!  We have just thoroughly investigated, tasted, and fell in love with their Homemade Ice Cream, and now they have added in a completely new menu! 

The Southern Sweets Dessert Company now offers dessert bread, cookies, muffins, candies, cakes, pies, and coming soon homemade soups and sandwiches.  I can go on and on about how yummy their food is, how fun their shop is, and how great their service is, but you would think is obvious if we continue to go back.

  

The Southern Sweets Dessert Company is located 26 N Spanish St Mercantile in Downtown Cape Girardeau; you can visit their website for a complete menu.
