Their sipping chocolate flight is amazing, but I'm also in love with their savory items like the kale salad. The irving park location is also very spacious and perfect for anyone studying or trying to get some work done.

Everything is covered in soft velour and velvet and it's just beautiful! There's a great mural on the wall with different cute sayings painted on the leaves. I'll be sharing pictures of those so make sure you take a look! It's a little pricey for your average person but the quality of the chocolate which is from France and Germany makes it worth it! Their coffees come with a lot of options, some with very unique flavor combinations. I tried the rosemary caramel iced latte and I loved it! Which I was surprised by because I'm not usually a rosemary fan. They have a great variety of homemade marshmallows which I will also show you in the pictures, I can't resist a good marshmallow! So I had to try the brown butter marshmallows to bring home with me and oh my goodness! But the real winner for me was Homemade caramels! I would go back just for those! Especially the bacon one ! If you go there and try absolutely nothing else , get yourself a couple of those. you can thank me later ! The staff is super friendly and helpful! I also love that you can see back into the Candy Kitchen! So you know that all the Truffles and caramels and everything is prepared in-house and are super fresh and extra delicious! If you're ever near one of their many locations I encourage you to stop in! The coffee price point is actually very affordable, the truffle and marshmallow prices are truthfully probably comparable with like Godiva or Fannie May but they are made with much higher quality ingredients. Not someplace I would visit everyday, but definitely great for a special occasion! This would be a great business to visit for some sweet holiday treats! They have multiple shops! Support your local small businesses!!!

On this occasion, I was able to get street parking. Last time I blew by the strip mall on accident, however there is plenty of parking in the strip mall. In addition to fresh cookies they have premade dough that you can make at home later. Grabbed some dough of Triple Chocolate Cookies to bake for later about two weeks ago. I believe the cost was like $10 (which is less than $2 a cookie). Ingredients and preservation of dough was premium. I choose to freeze my dough and make on a movie night. Cookies came in good handy on New Year's Eve. We made these cookies after dinner. I set them on parchment paper while the oven heated up. Cookies took about 18 min to bake in my oven. Very easy and simple. Instructions, nutritional information on the container. Review of cookie: so soft, quality melting chocolate, and satisfying sweet taste. I only ate one cookie and was totally content. My triple Chocolate cookie went well with red wine. The next morning had another cookie with coffee. Yum yum!!! Will be back. On previous visit for Yelp event, I had the hot chocolate. Wowza do I want more of that. This place isn't too far from my gym. Will grab Hot Chocolate after a good lifting day soon. Check this place out...they also have lots of vegan cookies premade and frozen.

Quote by Cookie Monster - "Today me will live in the moment, unless it's unpleasant in which case…read moreme will eat a cookie." Whether it be for trending as a hot new business, or being reviewed by other yelpers, You're a Cookie! just kept popping up on my Yelp feed which built that interest in visiting. As a cookie lover, of course I took the bait! I ordered an all-butter variety stack. Since You're a Cookie! is open only on the weekend, I pre-ordered a few days out in order to avoid any potential customer lines. If you are not familiar with the storefront, then you may miss this business because there is no distinguishing logo. My advice is to keep your eyes peeled for 'Wok ! You Want', its neighboring restaurant that has a distinguishing logo. Parking at this location consists of a shared lot with other businesses, as well as street and residential. I visited minutes into the shop opening on a Saturday and had plentiful spots to choose from. Acknowledged as soon as I walked in, in-between the owner I believe who was preparing orders. I took notice of the vegan chocolate cookie as my order was being packaged. I mentioned my interest in ordering the all-vegan variety stack in the future. I ended up requesting one to go along with my all-butter variety stack which the owner gave with no charge. Prior to my next off weekend, I will surely order the all-vegan variety stack because I did enjoy the vegan chocolate chip cookie given. The owner was sociable during my visit! If I would have been a little more rested, I would have asked more questions pertaining to the business or kept more of a conversation going. I will leave that for another visit, preferably a visit in the afternoon rather than morning. As for the cookies, I enjoyed every bite of the double chocolate chip cookie! It wasn't too chewy nor too crunchy; the cookie literally made my mouth water in-between bites, hehe. After finishing it, I smiled remembering that I had another left. The oatmeal blueberry cookie hands down is the best oatmeal cookie I have ever had. Its buttery taste gave my taste buds something to yearn for. I ended up eating my second oatmeal blueberry cookie immediately after. And lastly, the triple chocolate chip! I saved it for last because I knew it would have been my favorite out of the others. I just wish I had not run out of milk prior to visiting, *shaking my head*. I had the biggest grin on my face after eating the triple chocolate chip cookie. I closing I had a satisfying overall experience with You're a Cookie! I would surely order from again as indicated in this review, * chef's kiss *. ~Blessings~   Thomas G

We went there on a summer weekday morning. The place was bustling, but we were able to find a table outside. I was so impressed with all of their amazing vegan options, but finally decided on the sesame bagel with vegan cream cheese, and the spinach & cheese Danish. The bagel was literally the best bagel I've ever had, close to one I had in New York City. The Danish was buttery and delicious; I've never tasted anything like it. I feel like you can't go wrong with a latte with oat milk, and this one was sure to please! The staff were all hard-working and friendly. The ambience is quite unique and I appreciate the diversity of customers here. The bathrooms are gender neutral, which is an outstanding choice! With two sections of outdoor seating, there were enough tables for everyone. I'd love to return here to eat their yummy food, drink their delicious drinks, and stay for an event.

There were also muffins, cookies, and other traditional Mexican sweet breads. The sliding doors were all open which was a little strange but the smell of fresh bread was quite enticing. I got 5 pastries and 1 choco flan ($3) for about $10. Best choco flan I've had so far. The pastries I chose were all fresh and soft. The tricolor cookie had a strange stale-like aftertaste, though. The besos was cakey and a surprise, I've only had harder ones. The employee working the register was friendly and it was a quick checkout.

Im downgrading my previous review from a few years ago because nothing sends me up the wall than apathetic service from service workers whose JOB entails being courteous and service oriented. Im Latina so there is zero language barrier. The people who work here are just plain rude and lack common decency. The woman who "took" care of me was gossiping with someone else that when she rang me up, didnt even bother to tell me how much it was she just expected me to look at the register. THEN, one time I got there at 7:20pm. Closing time is listed as 8pm and it was already closed! Not sure if the owners know this happens but clearly the workers could care less and have no interest in providing a positive experience for its customers.
