After what seems like countless stops with kid and older parents in tow on this particular trip, I was so happy to find a calm and clean place to take a break. This is a smaller Starbucks but still felt spacious. It's very close to highway 89 and a couple of malls. It was a well needed caffeine boost, toddler stretch, and bathroom break. Everything was quite clean. There were a couple long tables and smaller round ones with people reading or working on laptops on a Sunday evening. The drinks were up to snuff as what would be considered usual for Starbucks. But the real gems were the staff. I probably spoke to every person there as I made multiple food and drink orders for various family members, and the staff members answered every question with a smile. They were even happy to provide two free cups of hot water for my non-tea drinking parents, something that staff at other locations have rolled their eyes at. (I will note that we ordered plenty of other drinks and food to make up for the waters.) They were busy with the drive through as well, but we're super friendly and didn't make us or my kid feel like a nuisance. Both gender-neutral bathrooms are large and have changing tables. They could have been a bit cleaner, but still were pretty good for a commuter/traveler-heavy location. One day again I'll be able to breeze in and out of a road trip stop in five minutes or less... one day when there are no more diapers ha. But until then, I hope I'll find other stops like this one that make the car rides that much easier.

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.

Over the years, I've stopped in from time to time, and always leave with something easy to enjoy. Today, that included a small turtle (dark chocolate with caramel and pecans) for my mom; and for me a thin mint, a maple cream, and the substantial tiramisu truffle. It's good to be an adult in this store, now that I can have whatever I want. All of these treats were less than $6 total, so the prices beat the competition of other designer confectionaries in the area. How were they? The mint was minty without tasting like toothpaste or York peppermint, always my litmus test for a quality mint confection. The maple was mapley, set in such a way so as not to ooze all over when you bite only half instead of cramming the whole thing down your gully. The turtle was generous in its pecan offering, with a sufficient amount of caramel, but perhaps containing too little dark chocolate, leaving this turtle just off balance, though still enjoyable with a fine finish. And the impressive tiramisu truffle that I'm pairing at this very moment with a fine wine? Mmm...tasty, but where is that undeniable and irresistible tiramisu flavor? My tastebuds cannot find. So, a slight disappoint, but nothing to cry over. Today's selections do leave me wondering whether Sweet's confections are handmade or done by machine. If I were a betting man, I would say by machine. The tastes were just a tad too uniform, and I was looking for those subtle variations and imperfections that suggest hand crafting, but did not find. Nonetheless, not a bit was wasted, every bit was appreciated. Something Sweet has been around for quite some time, so I am both shocked and pleased to do their first review. Not many shops in the Powerhouse stand the test of time, but this one has, and that fact should be testament enough to their quality to dollar. They are staged right at the front entrance, so grab a treat to energize your walk around this lovely mall.

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.
