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 try for me).
