Researching before I went I saw that both their apple and cherry rings seem to be very popular here and they looked huge and delicious. Instead I went with their chocolate covered brownies which I've had before at an event and remembered this place since. Chocolate covered brownies are next level. The two work very well together. I also went with their apple cheesecake square. It's everything you'd expect. Sweet apple pie filling with cinnamon over a cheesecake square. This is what I'm coming for next! Try this place!

I ordered my daughters bridal shower cookies and everyone enjoyed them. I look forward to going to the sweet shop on weekends, never disappointed.

My go to breakfast is the yogurt & honey which is a generous portion. I also enjoy the potato peppers & eggs. For lunch they have an expansive salad menu.

The zataar fries, pita, and some of the meat were good and made the night worthwhile. I also really liked the garlic yogurt with the rice and meat. I found a piece of hair in one of the dips towards the end of the night, and the water was strangely unclear. Service was also pretty slow, it took quite some time for someone to come in the beginning with water and to take our order on a night where it wasn't too busy. The bill included an 18% service fee which wasn't mentioned on the menu when I went nor by the staff whenever we were served. It was the first time I saw the charge included on the bill for 2 people with no advanced notice. Thought that was strange, but maybe something I'm not aware of

Cookies as one expects. There's a great variety. I can speak to 6. Lemon lavender. Not my favorite. Flavor was focused in the middle and outer edge was underwhelming. Birthday cake. Very simple, what you expect a kid will enjoy. Light flavor and sprinkles bring a little texture M and m kid favorite for color and burst of chocolate. It is laden with what you expect. No surprises. Red velvet. Cake cookie very airy. Center was a touch doughy which was fun. Flavor isn't as rich as I would have expected but had a different texture. Salted caramel - chewey center quality chocolate and a good balance. This was a good cookie. Sea salt chocolate chip, on point. This cookie was above expectations, chocolate was high quality. Dubai pistachio - the nuts brought great texture with multiple chocolate bursts. By far my favorite cookie we tried. Get this one if you stop in and like chocolate.

I tried the toffee chocolate chip which was a delightful twist on the tried-and-true formula. It was definitely loaded with toffee. The cookies are pretty big and cost about $5 per cookie, so it was hard to justify trying more than 1 flavor. The taste is good, but I wish they were a little smaller/cheaper to justify the indulgence. There was also a menu board slide show where I briefly saw an image of a sundae, but it never came back around, so I didn't end up ordering it. There was a pretty extensive drink menu as well. There wasn't really a lot of seating, but they pack up well to go. I would come back to try some of the other flavors and menu options.

They also sell what looks like 3D printed key chains and figurines inside the store as well. Another great find also includes their breakfast options. They have savory donuts such as chicken waffle donut or bacon-cheese donuts. While I was tempted to try, we had already ordered half dozen specialty donuts. Will definitely stop by next time we're driving through the area to try the savory donuts!
