Hello Harry...

At the Sweet Shop we have some wonderful regular customers & we love you all!



Sometimes it feels like “Cheers” here ;)
We have been thinking for awhile about a way to celebrate some of our favorite customers and decided since we live in such a techie world why not blog about these special customers with a BIG Thank You.
So hello Harry
!




Almost 2 years ago I noticed a lovely & charming gentleman stopping by the shop on his daily walk, often popping in for his usual café au lait, a sandwich or sometimes a froyo, but even more important to sit and relax for awhile & read the newspaper. Apparently, we are one of the few places that offer the Daily News & Daily Post in the neighborhood!


As time passed and Harry frequented more & more I just couldn't wait to say hi to Harry. One day we talked about one of his beautiful classic cars and moments later who showed up? Harry of course to take us for a spin, what a special treat!


We have all gotten to know Harry at the Sweet Shop and one of the best things about Harry is he has taken the time to get to know us personally. He has traveled the world and shares some great stories & pictures with us, he’s even been to the town I was born in - Paraparamu! Harry is the ultimate customer & if you spot him in the shop please do say hello Harry!




A visit from Harry is essential every day for us - Harry you definitely make our Life Sweet!






Merci Beaucoup Harry...

Doggie Menu at the Sweet Shop!

Sit, Stay, Play?
All three are OK with us!
If you didn't know already, the Sweet Shop has a cool outdoor dog friendly patio. Some of our canine friends have a hard time walking by the Sweet Shop without stopping by for a special doggie cookie made by Auntie Julie;)




There is plenty of room for our furry friends and free water for all those on their walks!

We have discovered there are very few pet friendly restaurants in the Bay Area so we want to be sure you know about our patio and introduce our new Doggie Menu for your pets!




Doggie Menu



Over Easy Rover (Scrambled Eggs & Ham)



Healthy Hips (Carrots & Apples drizzled with Vita Gravy)



Wag my Tail (Pumpkin Popsicle)



Cookies by Auntie Julie








Here are a few pictures of our frequent visitors....






Here's...Joey!

See you and Fido at the Sweet Shop soon!

So Long, and Thank You, Danielle...

We are so lucky at the Sweet Shop to have such an amazing team, they are part of our community, part of our decision making process for products and ideas and most of all they really do make the shop extra “sweet”…This week we are saying goodbye to our lovely Barista, Danielle.
Danielle has been working at the Sweet Shop for just over a year, she recently graduated from high
school and is now off to college & her future endeavors.

She is someone that will always go the extra mile & beyond with a smile and one of the most giving, helpful people I have met.




We even named one of our latest sandwiches after her, “The Danielle”….French baguette lightly buttered with ham and cheese – so simple and cheerful just like our Danielle! They are quite popular ;)



As I said...Danielle always went above and beyond...our lovely Easter Bunny!




If you haven't met Danielle, please do stop by the Sweet
Shop this week and meet her and wish her well.
The Sweet Shop team will dearly miss her.
Thank you Danielle, we will miss you!

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!
