Hey Dad, We are Thinking of You...

Sweeten up Dad this year with a gift from the Sweet Shop, Fathers Day is just 1 week away! We just received our hand made truffle collection from Saratoga Chocolates. A handsome gift box filled with 2 black & tan, 2 port & 2 chili spice truffles. Hard to resist this one, you will want to keep it for yourself!



Or pick up a bag of the English Toffee. We are really gaga over this one, it is sooooooooooo good (of course we have to sample everything first ;)

Saratoga's housemade toffee is made with butter and sugar and cooked just right. They enrobe the pieces in a dark milk chocolate finished with chopped almonds and then break them in to pieces.


Plenty of Sweetness for Dad here, Happy Fathers Day!

Sweet Shop Gives Back to Local Schools

The Sweet Shop is already making its second donation to local schools!

What appears as a simple “tip” jar located on the counter reads “Any spare change will go to schools”. The customers drop their change in the jar and often give even more after realizing it goes back to their schools. This is a true definition of full circle giving.

A total of $3800 has been collected in the last year and will be presented to two local schools this week, Egan Junior High School in Los Altos will receive $1900 to purchase an Interactive Presentation Presenter and Terman Junior High School in Palo Alto will receive $1900 to purchase a much needed Smart Board.

Thank you so much Sweet Shop Customers...Life is Sweet!

Sweet Strawberry Days...

You know it is almost summer time around here when the markets are filled with fresh, ripe & irresistible strawberries.

Strawberries are our most popular topping at the Sweet Shop so we are starting off the season with a new Strawberry Frozen Yogurt!

Try our new sundae....strawberry frozen yogurt drizzled with chocolate sauce, sprinkled with yogurt chips and fresh sliced strawberries. Delish!

Can't decide which froyo flavor you want today? Ask us for our Neapolitan Special - three flavors (chocolate, vanilla & strawberry) in one cup!

Mmmmm....strawberries, everyday is a strawberry day at the Sweet Shop.

Life is Sweet!

Sweetness for her at the Sweet Shop

Mother's Day is just around the corner and of course we have sweets for her! Some of our favorites include our handcrafted Clairesquares, Le Jardin de Chocolat by Saratoga Chocolates, Poco Dolce Bars & Tiles, Happy Goat Caramels, 479 Popcorn & anything with chocolate or lemons!

Cute little pillow boxes filled with good old fashioned lemon drops, just perfect for the purse!

Another sweet idea...give Mom a day off (or better yet the week off ;) and bring her to the Sweet Shop on Sunday, May 8th and we will treat her to a free yogurt!

See you soon for sweetness!

Recchiuti Debuts at the Sweet Shop

Our new favorite chocolate bar, the Fève... Cocoa Nibs meets Chocolate.

What are Cacao Nibs you ask?

They are the dried and roasted kernel of the cocoa bean that remains after the husk has been removed.

In this unique bar, Michael Recchiuti explores the combination of cacao's starting point (the nib) with its end point, finished chocolate. Roasted cacao nibs ("fave" in French) impart earthy flavor and crunch to the smooth richness of the bittersweet chocolat. The contrast between the smooth rich dark chocolate and the roasted cocoa nibs makes this bar one you may not want to share!

We have also added a Burnt Caramel Sauce to our shop of goodies...Simply drizzle over your favorite desert - ice cream, frozen yogurt, pie, cake, fruit or whatever tickles your fancy!
