It Doesn't Get Much Sweeter Than the SweetHeart Waffle Truck in Oregon

It wasn't an easy path for Amiee Blevins to get where she's at today with SweetHeart Waffle Truck, but she pushed through and grew easily one of the most popular food trucks on the Oregon Coast.

The truth is, anything worth doing generally never is easy - especially when the results are nothing short of amazing. Featured at KMTR recently, Amiee shares the challenges she had to overcome after family brought her back to Coos County after 26 years away from home. She goes onto how family motivated her onto the path of owning her own successful business.

SweetHeart Waffle Truck Is Born

Ten years ago she started her bakery. After finishing culinary school and working for some chefs, with the help of her husband they started off in the farmers markets in Portland. She eventually set up shop in a two-story house in The Dalles, Oregon. While living on the top floor, the lower level had become the bakery locals fell in love with, with high teas and wedding cakes underway.

"I wanted to do something we could build a family business around. My husband and I were sitting around one night literally watching Cupcake Wars on Food Network. I was trying to decide what I wanted to do because I had actually been in retail. So I told him, I said I have no idea what I want to do. He laughed, and he goes, 'You should make some cupcakes.'" she tells KMTR.

Shortly after finding their name featured on Travel Oregon's best bakery list, when the pandemic hit her family, she ended up closing the shop and relocating to Coos Bay. This was very difficult for her, of course, as they had built up quite the fan base in The Dalles.

While struggling with an eating disorder (at one point shoot up to around 400 pounds), she still managed to get a food truck purchased. After slimming down with the help of her doctor, two years after purchasing the truck, Sweetheart Waffles officially opened in July.
