We got the kids some sweets and the adults among us grabbed a few sandwiches. The sweets went over swimmingly, but the sandwiches were awful. They were very expensive, not flavorful, and extremely basic (think soggy bread with a lot of hummus but not much else). This place seems to be a great option for birthday cakes and morning pastries, but I would advise getting your sandwiches elsewhere.

The store did not disappoint -- it's a baker's paradise in every sense. Every possible ingredient, tool, pan, piece of equipment, and baking mix you could imagine is here, beautifully displayed and easy to browse. The space is bright, immaculate, and extremely well organized, with helpful staff ready to answer questions or point you toward something new. There's also a demonstration kitchen and a café, which adds even more to the experience. While their website is fantastic (and what we've relied on for years), the in‑person store is absolutely worth the trip. Whether you're an avid baker or looking for the perfect gift for someone who is, this is a destination worth driving for. We're so glad we finally made it -- and we'll be talking about this stop for a long time.

I've been coming to this Hanover institution since the early 1980s…read more Food is fresh and good quality ingredients. Some classics have been on their menu for as long as I can remember, but there are always innovative new things as well. Portions are large. Servers are friendly. Desserts and other baked goods are incredible. It is the place to get the best custom-decorated birthday cakes and Thanksgiving pies (they made nearly 1000 pies last Thanksgiving - get your order in in advance). A carrot cake aficionado in our family who has tasted carrot cakes around the world ranks Lou's tied for number one. Prices aren't cheap, but rent in Hanover isn't cheap either, they take care of their employees, ingredients are of high-quality, and it is the kind of local business I like to support. For a hearty and healthy lunch, a bowl of their homemade chicken soup (available with or without noodles) hits the spot. For a delicious savory breakfast, Doc's omelette (corn beef hash and melted cheese is really good) as is the cowboy bowl. For a sweet breakfast (albeit more than I can handle), the glazed cruller French toast is a delicious menu staple. And their apple cider donuts, muffins and crullers are excellent. (The glazed apple cider donuts are my personal favorite). Real New Hampshire maple syrup is available for an upcharge and although I wish it were all they served, it is really the only way to go with their breakfasts. (Artificial pancake syrup is blasphemous in New Hampshire). Enjoy this Hanover institution!

My first crumbl cookie tasting impressions: 1. The crumbl…read morebranding - in terms of the logo, the iconic pink packaging, the retail design, the interface and the merch - is disciplined design, well-done and fun. 2. Just because the branding is impressive, doesn't mean the cookie stacks up. Not so here. The flavor and density of our Secret Menu Cinnamon Roll cookie was a sweet delight. I especially loved the texture. 3. These aren't quite haute bakery cookies, ie Georgetown Cupcake when it first started, but they are pretty darn near close. What would bring them to that level? With the one cookie I tasted, the icing could be a little less overpoweringly sweet and more like a subdued buttercream. The cookie dough, however, is perfect. 4. The cookie was not warm when I got it but I expected that it would be. Was it supposed to be warmed? Maybe I've just been spoiled by the Austin, TX-based Tiff's Treats warmed cookie service. Growing up with Mrs. Field's cookies, their cookies were never warmed. Nor were cookies you could buy from any bakery around. Unless they were kind enough to give you what is just baked. So, maybe it was a presumptuous thought. 5. With over 1,071 franchises and counting, does the West Lebanon crumbl even need my review? There is a reason why this cookie company excels and flavor is at its core. How the local franchise fares will be interesting as it works out its new location kinks, ie there were only paper towels available instead of famous-crumbl branded napkins, and actually, there was only 1 piece of paper towel left on the roll. They were too busy serving up cookie orders so we just took our box and left. 6. The crumbl brand is consistent with 6 nationally-produced, rotating cookie (including a mini-cake) varieties each week. You can see the weekly flavors at https://crumblcookies.com under National Flavors. 7. To get to the Secret Menu cookie flavors -- which is kind of a gimmicky, nationally-driven label and probably should just be called Local Cookie Picks -- visit https://crumblcookies.com/flavors. Pick your city from the deliciously and originally designed map interface with thousands of cookie icons. It's not really a Secret because when you walk into the store the cookies are labeled, "Secret Menu," plainly. The concept I have experienced -- popularized by Georgetown Cupcake -- is that you went to their Facebook page, got the title of the Secret sweet and then mentioned it while ordering. You never knew the secret dessert was available at the counter unless you asked. I understand, however, that rolling out a concept like this in a national format may have have been challenging. 8. This cookie is worth its $4.50 price tag. In my estimation you are getting 2 cookies within the size of 1. The crumbl company believes you are getting 4 cookies from 1. I found an adorable crumbl cookie cutter in the online merch which easily cuts your large-sized cookie into 4 pieces to share. merch.crumbl.com 9. Speaking of online merch, they have a vast array of well-branded, reasonably-priced branded crumbl items. Other than the cookie cutter, there are hoodies, tees, socks, a plushie, a water bottle, a key chain, hats, bags and lapel pins. 10. So, crumbl also makes cake. I did not expect to find a cookie-sized mini cake when I visited, but there was one and I'm curious to try these sometime. Here is this week's mini cake product description from the page: "Two fluffy tiers of cake batter confetti cake generously layered with smooth vanilla buttercream and crowned with a dash of vibrant rainbow sprinkles." 11. Don't think you are going to find many places in West Lebanon which serve food - at all - up through 10pm outside of Denny's, McDonald's and Applebees. crumbl is open to serve cookies (as an important national food group) from 10am - 8pm, Monday through Saturday, friends. NB-- If you are anti-franchise, yes, there is only 1 Katie's Cookies, and we do love them.
