In Sunnyside, there’s a special hidden gem known as Empire Shop. Tucked away off the main road on 47th, this secluded little spot offers a thoughtfully curated menu, including sandwiches, açaí bowls, omelets, and more. Take “The Sofia,” for example – one of many signature burgers that reflects the shop’s unique personality and flair. Curious about the story behind the name? Just ask – every dish comes with a bit of backstory the staff is happy to share. And don’t be fooled by the humble exterior – as behind this modest storefront is a business owner with culinary chops, known for working with high-level clients while continuing to serve the local community through Empire Shop.
Owner Daniel has been in the food industry for over 20 years. He has worked with brands such as By Chloe and Comptons, helping them operate and grow their brands. He has mastered the art of comfort food making and has been successful in building a name for himself. Daniel is a local Sunnyside resident and all around family man. “These past years here at Sunnyside have been truly rewarding. I can’t wait for more people to discover our shop and indulge in our delicious food.”, said Daniel.
Though modest in size, Empire Shop has a lively atmosphere and welcoming seating both indoors and in their charming covered outdoor area. Educators and students also enjoy a 15% discount with valid ID – a humble gesture of support for its community. Inside, a small timed buzzer game challenges customers: stop it at exactly ten seconds within two tries, and win a free combo. And finally, every May 13th is a celebration of their opening where everything is priced $6.
