While the dessert was good, the staff is not aware of allergens in desserts. All three people at…read morethe front, although they were very nice, assured me there were no nuts in "Spring" dessert. They said there could be cross contamination. Cross contamination is no issue for me, as I informed them, but I need to know if there are nuts actually inside as an ingredient. One person said only one item on their dessert menu contained nuts, and when I mentioned that many contained hazelnut they seemed surprised to learn that hazelnut is in fact a tree nut. Lo and behold, the chocolate dacquoise inside the Spring dessert contained nuts and I got an anaphylactic reaction as a result and needed to take my EpiPen. The bite I had was very yummy but almost took me out so I'll still keep two stars for the baking itself. However, staff NEEDS to know what contains very common and deadly allergens.

PROS: This is the best tasting ice cream I've ever had! This is hand made ice cream and I can…read moreeasily taste the difference.

I tried other samples, which were properly refrigerated and had a solid consistency, but the caramel cake was leaning more toward lukewarm. Also, there's an artificial taste (to be expected)--I didn't mind this so much, but there was a point before eating all the ice cream that I felt I had enough. Overall I'd still recommend this place. This review is specifically for this one encounter, just in case anyone would be put off by it.

I was sold on the texture and hint of salt. The shop is clean and modern, gentleman behind the counter was friendly and professional. The smashed cookie was fresh out of the oven. $4 for a decently sized cookie. I showed some willpower and waited until I got home to eat it. Let's just say, it was gone in less than a minute! Absolutely delicious! Maybe I would have gone for a touch more salt but it was a great cookie. I would certainly return.

I feel over the years that my fans have not quite understood the quality, range and experience of…read moremy sweet tooth. I once through a disco at nabisco. I'm well known in Girl Scout cookie circles across the country, for all the wrong reasons. Cookies show up out of nowhere at my door every year at the holidays and ridiculous sums of money are withdrawn from my brittle bank account without my knowledge. Don't know how, should probably care but don't. I take life seriously but not too seriously. I take myself seriously but not too seriously. That my friends is what I'm coining the Serious Sanity Scale. Serious Sanity Scale in a nutshell. The ideal overachievers of folks take themselves seriously and life seriously. However, they don't take themselves or life too seriously. This is a key difference, one to think about, I don't have the time to define it. I care about it enough to present but not to describe. Then there are others, who don't take themselves or life seriously enough. A crowd that wouldn't even know they were within a crowd of similar individuals. There are some that strive or pretend to be like this, but this style of living is innate, if you ask me. And it is typically temporary, like the tubbyness of my tummy. Or so I try to convince myself. It's been years. When will it disappear. Where are my abs. Underneath? Or uncapturable. Stop it tubby nobody cares about the never ending lint in your bustling belly button. Anyways, back to cookies. I kuddled up with the Keebler leprechaun for 4 straight semesters abroad in Northern Ireland. We basically lived at Sainsbury's grocery. He still calls me hear and there, good guy, the reason I'm known as El Grande Fudge Lover. I was the first man to call Amos, famous. Nutter Butter was my nickname in HS. I dated Mrs. Fields until I tasted her overly sugary mess of a cookie. My pet mule paco's favorite toy is my life size Little Debby doll... anyways. Hands Down Cookies is hands down a great addition to Bergen County. Sweets make me sweat. They get me antsy. Butterflies in the tummy. Bite the lip energy. Eye contact so strong that both parties feel they've violated each other. Ya feel me? Anyways... get the chunkier chocolate chip not the thinner one. The chunker? 9.2. Yup. So chocolatey, so tasty. Have confirmed this over multiple tastes, tried and true. They have a different few everytime I end up going. Some duds but a lot of studs, such as the apple crumb punk in the image I blessed you with. I hope they get a ton of business but I'm usually the only one in there. I do go at odd hours so maybe I'm unaware of their popularity. What am I doing with my life. Who am I? What will I become... all things I'll focus on at another time. My focus right now is on getting YOU, my lovely reader, out to Hands Down Cookies on Goffle Road. A truly great and unique cookie collection. Linguini leaves you semi-entertained but fully-educated.

Warm friendly vibe from the young lady taking her time to explain what type cupcake that look like to be a choice of mines. Up to this point it's a 5 shop. So I picked two for $.50 and took a flyer. Got in car and on the flyer it say by two get one free. The lady should have told me pick another one for free. That would have been a way to get me back for another try. So the two I chose was Pain Jane and Raspberry cheesecake. Both had good flavor to them but over cooked done because was fairly dried it out. I've tasted amazing cupcakes even after it Sat chilled. However I'll be coming back I'm sure to give a second try. Then I'll try another location. It's worth stopping in. You might get a different batch then I got.

If they get even a little busy though with drink orders, you'll notice their slowness. For the food, we enjoyed a small mousse hazelnut cake ($7, delicate but small) and brownie ($5). There are a few small tables and chairs and it seems like a place where it would be ok to hang out for a nice long while. There's not a whole lot on the menu, and don't have a strong impulse to return any time soon! Additional fee for credit cards which I didn't see displayed. There are a few other locations including one in upper saddle river, and its high prices were a turnoff.
