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!

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.

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.

My personal happy place to come and enjoy one of my many favorites, toasted brick oven rolls with butter and a tall hazel nut latte. Always enjoy their tasty Italian breads made right there on the premises, as well as all their pastries and cakes. Customer services is top notch and the music is great. I ordered my daughters bridal shower cookies and everyone enjoyed them. I look forward to going to the sweet shop on weekends, never disappointed. If you're in the neighborhood come in and enjoy the coffee of the day and try their breads, and assorted pastries. Thank you, Sweet Shop Bakery Maria

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!

Unfortunately, I found the quality inconsistent. I recently tried the Dubai chocolate-inspired Dream Cake and it honestly tasted like almost nothing. I also tried the cheesecake with strawberry topping, and the cheesecake was extremely dense while the topping tasted canned rather than fresh. The staff has always been very kind and welcoming, which makes this even more disappointing to write. What ultimately made me decide not to return was seeing political cupcakes displayed after the presidential election. Regardless of political beliefs, I personally feel businesses should stay neutral because politics are so divisive and can alienate customers on either side, especially in a diverse area like Staten Island's North Shore. It completely changed the feeling of the place for me, and I haven't gone back since. I truly wish the staff and bakery well, but overall I left disappointed.
