Joplin's Neighborhood Bakery & Grocery

Fresh bread on the shelf,
groceries on your mind.

From our oven to your table — artisan loaves, buttery pastries, and everything you need for the everyday. All right here on South Main.

Warm bakery interior with fresh bread on display

More than a bakery.
Your corner of Joplin.

The Top Hat started with a simple idea: what if your neighborhood market felt like a place people actually wanted to linger? Not just a quick stop, but a spot where the bread smells worth pulling over for and the shelves are stocked with the things you actually need.

We bake small batches throughout the day so what lands on your counter is still warm. Our grocery side carries the staples — pantry essentials, local favorites, and the little comforts that make weeknights easier. No fuss, no pretense. Just good food and the kind of service that remembers your name.
