Philips Candy is a small old-school candy store. The staff was very nice. I ordered two different…read moretypes of Egg Creams, Cherry Rickey Soda, Cotton Candy, Coconut Cookie, Chocolate-dipped Oreo, and an Almond Bark treat. Everything was solid and the prices were very reasonable. Some of the items look to have been sitting in the display cases for some time, however, most items were wrapped, so it was not an issue for me. I could definitely see this as a great place to purchase items for an upcoming event by making an advance order. Awesome to see a long-time local business like this still going strong.

The best thing about Egger's Ice Cream Parlor on Forest Avenue is its historic presence at that…read morelocation for over 90 years (1932). It is surely a community fixture with generations of families stopping by to celebrate the best things in their lives with homemade ice cream and an assortment of candy in dozens of glass jars along one wall. I admit to stopping in after an epic brunch at a nearby Greek diner, and to being too stuffed to dive into their flavors of the week 'screams. My friend was not as disciplined as I, so she ordered a cup of some chocolate peanut butter which she kvelled over. Apparently, they also had an orange long stringy confection that she wanted for later indulgence. All very cool, but she isn't diabetic. The ambiance of Egger's is definitely mid-twentieth century, and could use a fresh coat of paint to brighten the joint up a bit. Maybe better lighting, too. Otherwise, growing up in the City (Washington Heights) in the same era, this malt shop/candy emporium with long counter and spinners brought fond memories of my childhood flooding back. That, my friends, is always a very good moment. Four Sugary Super Sundae Stars. Those were the days!

Stopped in for a summer treat after a long day out hoping they wouldn't be too busy and I'm so…read morehappy we did. Egger's is a classic with a good variety and selection of flavors. They have the classic ice cream diner experience with candy, sweet treats, and counter with bar stools. It's well worth the price and the flavors are exceptionally tasty!

She is hands on, professional, patient, attentive, and super nice. I ordered personalized chocolate lollipops and chocolate covered pretzel rods for a 75th birthday party as favors and both were wrapped so beautifully, decorated beautifully, and tasted delicious! I also appreciated the fact that Lauren accepts smaller orders, which some other places I contacted would not. I would undoubtedly use Sweetheart Chocolate again, and would recommend this business to all!

She was very kind and helped recommend restaurants in the area since we are from Chicago.

Not only is the store pristine as well as the product tastes great, it provides jobs for Staten Islanders who have Down Syndrome. The price is very reasonable for the quality. This was my first trip here and they were sold out of all truffles. I heard they are so good they sell out quickly. No worries, I'll be back. I purchased -Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels $5 for about 7 of them. They are so good -Milk Chocolate Coconut bark. I got a small piece for about .50cents. -Milk Chocolate sticky toffee bark. This was dense so it was about $1.50 -Dark chocolate covered graham cracker. So sweet the girl told she couldn't sell them since they didn't come out looking nice, so she gave it time for free. Ugly or not it was delicious and I'm not a dark chocolate fan till this. What a winner, can't wait to come back for the truffles.

Pro Tip - Skip the jars and focus intensely on the bakery creations. They won't last as long as the plaster and clay, but taste oh so much better, and definitely make your day. My sampling of their Brownies, Peanut Butter Cookies, Lemon Iced Petit Four, Pistachio Cookies, and a few more I have forgotten due to sugar rush, was an overwhelming high. All delicious with great taste and texture. Service was exceptional from moment of entry to final goodbyes. The packaging was likewise memorable, as was the flour sugar atmosphere that totally captivated the little kid who still lives within. Five by Five. Fantastic pastry experience.
