Sugarjones Is Expanding With a New Loves Park Café Opening Soon

Sugarjones has been delighting Rockford area taste buds with sweet and decadent treats since 2011, but now they are expanding with a new café opening soon in Loves Park.

What Is Sugarjones?

If you are new to the Rockford area, or have just been living under a rock for the last 14 years, Sugarjones has become one of Stateline area's favorite places to grab delicious cupcakes, cookies, custom cakes, and other specialty desserts. (I'm personally obsessed with their red velvet cupcakes!)

In 2024 Danna and John Krischke took over the reins of Sugarjones Bakery, and although they kept many of the recipes and treats we all know and love, they have added some exciting new offerings, including plans for a brand-new café.

New SJ Cafe Opening in Loves Park

Last spring news started spreading that Sugarjones would be opening a new cafe in Loves Park sometime during the summer, but like so many things in life, those plans got delayed.

The new SJ Cafe is located at 6731 Broadcast Pkwy in Loves Park, and yes, it will have cupcakes for sale, but it will also offer:

• Hot and iced coffee drinks
• Natural fruit smoothies and smoothie bowls
• Protein shakes and salads
• Soft-serve ice cream and slushies
• A candy wall...and more!

An official opening date hasn't been announced yet, but I can tell you it looks like it's happening soon.  SJ Cafe posted this on Facebook on November 27:

I can't wait to stop in for an iced coffee, (and probably a cupcake or 2, or 12) while out Christmas shopping soon!
