Sugar Shane’s — Restaurant in Sandy Springs

2021 Dessert Wars Judges’ Choice Award Champion Shane Quillin is the creator of Atlanta gourmet cookie and bakery concept, Sugar Shane’s.

Sugar Shane’s is located on the lower level of the Arabelle Perimeter Apartments at the corner of Hammond Drive and Peachtree Dunwoody Road. The eatery is MARTA accessible via the 5 bus or a half-mile walk from the Dunwoody Station. There are other bakery locations in Ponce City Market, Midtown, and Kennesaw.

I was starving one Saturday and was looking for somewhere to eat in the Perimeter area that wasn’t within the Permeter Mall area. I enjoyed a meal at Local Expedition and was walking to my car when I noticed this bakery (and I am so glad I walked in).

The bakery is small and narrow; however, you are transported to an eclectic, vibrant world with graffiti murals and abstract art. The staff is equally as friendly and knowledgeable about the different offerings.

Sugar Shane’s features signature and rotating flavors of cookies such as crumb cake, banana bread, and the Betty White (chunks of Golden Oreos, creamy cookies 'n cream bars, and smooth white chocolate chips). They also have a selection of brownies, cakes, and Rice Krispy treats. Sugar Shane’s offers a “sweet tooth” special on Wednesday—four cookies for $20.

We experienced the: Chocolate Chip (chopped dark chocolate, dark chocolate disks, semi-sweet chips, topped with sea salt)

Cookies & Cream (vanilla base and stuffed with white chocolate chips, oreos, and cookies & cream bar pieces)

Spooky S'mores (graham cracker base, milk chocolate chips, marshmallow)

Morning After (Brown Sugar Cookie Base Rolled in Cinnamon Crumble Topping).

I fell in love with the first bite of Cookies & Cream, and the love affair continued as I sampled each of the cookies. When I got home, my husband popped the cookies in the microwave, placed them back in the box, and disappeared (I never saw the cookies again). Even the humble chocolate chip cookie was elevated with the touches of sea salt.

The cookies are not cheap, but the price is well worth the gooeyness, richness, and buttery flavors.

I have plans to try the Dubai Bar, which is a dark chocolate bar with kanafi dough and creamy pistachio filling, finished with white chocolate drizzles and pistachio garnish (anything with pistachio is a must...

A Must-Try Sweet Spot in Sandy Springs!

My wife and I were craving something sweet, so we decided to check out Sugar Shane’s in Sandy Springs. We chose this spot because of the amazing reviews from real people—4.8 stars from 800+ reviews! INSANE, right? I KNOW!!!

Let me just say, this is by far one of the best bakeries we’ve ever been to! They offer a variety of cookies and gourmet treats like s’mores, banana pudding, and so much more. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by an irresistible sugary aroma that immediately lures you in.

With so many tempting options, I had a hard time deciding—but Sayyed (aka Say) came to the rescue! He broke it down for me, pointing out the top contenders: S’mores, Betty White, Cookies n Cream, and Chocolate Chip. Oh, and he made sure to highlight the cheesecake brownie!

After much debate, my wife and I went with the Betty White cookie and the cheesecake brownie. Let me tell you—we got our sugar fix! Personally, I think this place is better than Crumbl.

As for the price? I’ll let you be the judge, but with treats this good, it’s worth it! Just maybe don’t eat here seven days a week—unless you want an express trip to the dentist! Lol Highly recommend Sugar Shane’s for all...

If you have a sweet tooth or consider yourself a connoisseur of sweets, you must try Sugar Shane's!!! Hands down best cookie I've ever had in my life (suggestion: new tag line should be "cookies so good make you wanna slap your momma!"). The variety of cookies and the creativity required to come up with such uniquely amazing flavor combinations is mind blowing. Shane and the team are constantly innovating and experimenting with new cookies and ingredients - truly impressive.

The teams at both locations are so pleasant and so welcoming. Also want to commend Sugar Shane's for meeting their customers where they are at - they're available on food delivery platforms, available on pickup, and I've even shipped them across the country to friends. Love love love Sugar Shane's and cannot say enough positive things about their cookies and their people - can't wait to see what they go on...
