After "Doom Scrolling" on TikTok, i found out about this spot, I had to check it out in person…read moretonight and wow, I'm so glad I did! Honestly, I almost thought I was in the wrong place at first because the signage is a little small, but don't worry, it's definitely there and absolutely worth finding.
We chatted with the owner and learned that while TheKindCookiesBar has been open for about two years, they took over the business earlier this year in February. She was super friendly and down-to-earth, the kind of person who makes you feel right at home. Everything here is made in-house, including their cheesecakes (yes, cheesecakes!), and if you're not sure what to order, they're great at helping you decide.
We went with a "BYO" cookie loaded with Cap'n Crunch, white chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, and a caramel drizzle. The second one was the "Cookies & Creme" topped with ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles, and mocha drizzle. Everything is made fresh, so it took about five minutes and when they came out... OMG! They looked and smelled incredible.
The first bite seriously blew me away. I expected something like a BJ's Pizookie, but this was 10x better. You can taste the freshness of both the cookie and the ice cream, baked perfectly with that gooey center and just the right amount of crunch on the edges. It was the kind of dessert that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it.
By the time we finished, we were this close to ordering another one to go! If this place had a more visible location, I think it would be nonstop busy because it's that good. The best part is they're on DoorDash, so if you're not in the mood to drive out to Mesa, you can still treat yourself at home.
I've only lived in Arizona for a year since moving from Orange County, and honestly, I wish we had something like this back in California. TheKindCookiesBar is officially my new dessert obsession homemade, creative, and made with love. You can tell they care about quality and the experience. 10/10 recommend!
