The Sweet Shop

A nice spot for lunch when visiting the annual antique and crafts shows in Eagles Mere.

I have been going to The Sweet Shop since I was a child.  My parents have a cabin in the area and the highlight of every trip upstate was ice cream from The Sweet Shop.  

Their ice cream has always been good.  I think they used to make their own, but they were serving Blue Bunny brand on my 8/16/08 visit.  I'm not very familiar with that particular brand, but I can tell you that the Chocolate Brownie Extreme is very good, especially with some hot fudge on top.   I'm glad to see that the portion sizes are as huge as I remembered from my childhood.  My sundae cost under $5 and was huge.  

The best part of The Sweet Shop is the atmosphere.   Although it has expanded substantially from my childhood, it maintains an early 20th century, old-fashioned aesthetic.  There are all kinds of old-timey gadgets to look at while you wait in line, along with penny candy and fresh baked goods.

If you find yourself in Sullivan County with a sweet tooth, The Sweet Shoppe is the place to satisfy it.
