Mark’s Bake Shoppe Spreads Sweet Holiday Cheer in Staten Island

This holiday season Broadway Stages stopped by Mark’s Bake Shoppe in Richmondtown on Staten Island to place a few orders of their famously delicious cookies to spread holiday joy to some of our friends on the Island. If you want to experience some joy this holiday season you need to visit Mark’s Bake Shoppe. When you step into the bakey the smell of freshly baked sweets is intoxicating. This award winning bakery — voted 2019 Best Dessert by CSI Savor the Flavors, and recognized by the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation as one of 20 under 40 successful businesses in 2019 — boasts some of the most delectable sweets around.  Baked fresh daily, this acclaimed Staten Island bakery is home to a variety of cakes, pastries, breads, donuts, cookies and more! They offer a selection of gift baskets full of Mark’s fresh baked goods, and their local organic coffee is a perfect compliment to their delicious treats.  

The story about Mark’s Pastry Shoppe is just as captivating as their baked goods.  Mark’s first job at the age of 15 was in a bakery, which is where he learned the ropes about the business, and where he found his calling.  Mark attended college and worked in the City for years, all the while baking and decorating special occasion cakes. Then one day, with the support of his wife, he decided to quit his day-job to pursue his passion and opened Mark’s Bake Shoppe.  The bakery is warm, charming and inviting and the offerings are delicious. Why not stop by to enjoy the full sensory experience -— it will become a tradition, it has for us! Thanks Mark for making Staten Island so sweet! We know that our Island friends were happy to receive their holiday tray of treats!
