Sweet Shop will be at Movie Nights Downtown Los Altos!

Join us this Friday and for the rest of August as we are thrilled to be the Movie Night Snack Shack for Friday Movie Nights on Main Street!

Tomorrow's (August 5th) movie will be a clever fun comedy Rango, featuring Johnny Depp.

Be sure to stop by and see us at the Snack Shack and pick up some sweets and treats to enjoy during the show, something for everyone...gummi candy, sour candy, chocolates, popcorn, drinks and of course our irresistible chocolate chip cookies. All proceeds go to the local schools!

We look forward to seeing you sitting under the stars for some great family fun.
See you at the show!

Flaky & Buttery Croissants Baked Daily at the Sweet Shop

There is something special about the perfect croissant when the outside is just slightly crispy and the inside is a light layer of pillows.

At the Sweet Shop we have been on a quest to find this perfect croissant to share with you. We have discovered it and are now baking croissants in our lovely little oven every morning! If you are one of our early morning customers, it will be hard to resist one of these croissants especially with their savory aroma.

Be sure to get your croissant early as these won't last...Pairs perfectly with a Café au lait.

Bon appétit!

Happy 4th of July Weekend!

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!
