Almost there! One final step in our dream to open a dessert coffee cafe. We appreciate your help to move us in. Sweet rewards await!
Sweet Cravings Cafe & Bakery
- 2-3 Seeds of Desire
- 5 Bushels of Passion
- 100's of Heirloom Recipes
- Mixed with Fresh Ingredients
- Baked for Years to Perfection
- Ready to Serve...With Your Help!
You know those dreams you set as a kid..."one day I'll have..."? Well for a couple of us, those dreams are finally in sight. With years of practical experience in food and beverage, customer service and marketing, we've combined our talents to produce Sweet Cravings, a coffee cafe and bakery.
Moab Utah is our home. But we've come to realize there isn't a place for great desserts. What a shame right?, because every "home" needs a few sweets now and then to ward off the cravings.
We've found the building - right in the middle of town! - so we can make our items available to a wider audience. Our recipes have been tested, retested and sampled (because tastiness is the entire goal!). Now we'd like to share our dream with the community ~ and you!
Will you join us?
The Concept Defined
Mixing homemade ingredients ~ fresh baked pastries, scratch pie crusts filled with seasonal fruits from our area, slow roasted turkey, fresh regional produce and brewed to order coffee ~ in a fun and festive atmosphere...that is what Sweet Cravings is all about!
We'll offer a breakfast menu complete with pastries from scratch to breakfast burritos made to order. "Take and go" lunches are available or stay and dine with us throughout the day. In the evenings we invite our guests to linger. Finish the evening enjoying a dessert as you talk with others and simply enjoy an after hours social location with something for everyone.
How Can You Help?
Starting up a new business today can be a challenge...as we're sure you can imagine. But being almost there is so rewarding! We have the funds to move into our new building and open the doors this spring.
There are still a few essentials we need, as well as a few items on the "wish list" to help make operations much more efficient from the start!. Any additional funds we raise in excess of our goal will go toward making a better experience for our guests. Ideas include:
- Expanding kitchen capabilities with better equipment for delectable treats
- Enhancing outdoor seating
- A dog greeting patio (yes we understand their needs are just as important..even if the have to wait outside)
- "We Bake It, Kids Decorate It" cupcake fun room (for kids of all ages!)
...just to name a few of our ideas.
We've set the goal within reach of our basic costs, but once it's funded the real fun begins...because the possibilities are endless with our new location.
And of Course There Are Rewards...
What better reward than amazing treats that make you feel good just by smelling their aroma? Fresh baked cookies, warm coffee, and gratitude (yes we know it isn't fragrant, but it's a key ingredient to this project)!
(Please note that all rewards can only be shipped in the United States ~ but our international friends are welcome to come visit us! :) Thank you for your understanding.)
Come Visit!
If you haven't been to Moab, Frommer's recently voted it the #1 place in the world for outdoor adventure. Hiking, biking, rafting, 4 wheeling, canyoneering, hot air ballooning...the list of "ings" is endless! And after all that activity...we know both visitors and locals are looking to satisfy their food cravings....
We hope you'll join us for breakfast, lunch, dinner or simply dessert.
See you soon, but in the meantime...we truly appreciate the support and encouragement we've received. Thank you in advance for your donation. We are so lucky...because of you!

Yes - it's a wish, but we thought it was worth a try! Your choice of funding our outdoor patio or the Cupcake Fun Room. In addition to all the rewards from the $2700 level...and the ultimate recognition for topping everyone else...we'll have a strategy session while you are here (or over the phone if you can't make it out for awhile). A list of your ideas that made the additional space unique will be framed along with a photo of you taken outside the cafe with our owners. And...we'll even take a leap of faith with you as we open the new location...and throw in a sky diving trip upon your next visit for you, one guest and our owners. (Transportation not provided, accommodations based upon availability at Sweet Cravings descretion, all items must be redeemed in store, concept ideas are suggestions and Sweet Cravings has the final decision to incorporate them, as for the sky diving...yep, we're just as crazy as you are to jump out of a plane...so all risk is on the individual jumper...but we'll take the leap with you side by side! Valid during 2012.)
