Krisch's Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlour

Krisch's Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlour in Massapequa was one of my favorite dessert places. Their homemade food In addition to dessert, breakfast, lunch, and dinner is served. The waitstaff is extremely friendly, the

I ordered "Nikko's Cookie Monster" which was a sundae consisting of a whopping scoop of ice cream (flavor of my choice), one topping, homemade whipped cream, and of course a cherry, all on top of a freshly baked cookie.

I choice a flavor I've never heard of, fluffernutter. I've had fluffernutter sandwiches, but never ice cream. It was amazing. As my topping, I had a banana which was great, too. The cookie was fresh and delicious. Truthfully, I could not finish the sundae because it was so filling.

  

Some other dessert options are pecan pie (my friend got the last slice)

and colossal cupcakes that look delicious.

Riesterer's Bake Shoppe

Riesterer's Bake Shoppe has a lot to offer. Wedding cakes? Check. Gingerbread houses? Check. Cupcakes? Check. If that's not enough, they also make dog treats! I was in the mood for something small, so I chose cookies.

I ordered chocolate thumbprint cookies that had peppermint chunks on them, rainbow cookies, and sandwich cookies with a jelly filling. My favorite was the thumbprint cookies. The rainbow cookies were unpleasant. As for the sandwich cookies, they were pretty good. 















I did not try the café, food which is located in the back of the bakery. The café can be easily accessed from the back entrance, which has direct availability from the back parking lot.

Witches Brew

Photo taken by Colin Harris 

A late night trip to Witches Brew can be fun. Just be prepared to wait. On my trip, I was seated by the host immediately. Being served by the waitress was another story. It appeared as if only one waitress was working and there was a large crowd she had to serve.

 

The creative menu, made from cut outs word and combined.

Slightly hard to read, which is why there is also a booklet given with the food options.

If you go to the Witches Brew, you should go for the variety of hot beverages and atmosphere. I learned from a note on the menu that the restaurant does not make their own baked goods, but gets them from a nearby bakery. 

I ordered a  slice of Devil's Food Cake and a soft pretzel with a side of mustard. Unfortunately, I was unable to ask the waitress where the pretzel came from, but it was delicious. I liked it more than my cake, which tasted ok.

Note: Food is not expensive. I say go to Witches Brew! 

There is no website for this location, however I was able to find this:
