At its heart, Sweet Monkey Business is about connection: to place, to people, and to the sweetness of everyday moments.

The idea of Sweet Monkey Business began in Maine in 2010 with a simple tradition: baking holiday treats for friends and family. Each year the recipes improved, the list grew, and what started as a shared passion to connect with others became something bigger — a small‑batch craft business rooted in joy, generosity, and great flavor.

Hand-Made in Belfast, Maine

Our approach has remained intentionally hands‑on.

We believe simple ingredients, handled with care, create the most memorable shortbread cookies and superfood granola — rich flavor, balanced sweetness, and textures that crumble, melt, and surprise with every bite. All of our products are made by hand in our micro-bakery located right in the heart of Belfast, Maine. We are proud to call this community home and are thankful to be surrounded by such supportive, kind, and hardworking people.

At Sweet Monkey Business, we aim to spread joy by making distinctive products that are nostalgic, giftable, and truly delicious.

Whether shared as a gift or discovered at a market, our goal is simple: to make shortbread cookies that make people happy and keep them coming back for one more bite.
