In addition to the incredible bread, they also sell a wide variety of pastries and sweet breads. The best part is that everything in the store, with the exception of the cakes up front, is $1.25. Just grab a pizza tray, a pair of tongs, and serve yourself. The owner will bag your items and you're all set to gain a few pounds. By the way it's CASH ONLY so hit the ATM beforehand.

It's very simple to order - they have everything they offer on display and when you make your choices they pull fresh cookies from the back. This is also the only place I've ever seen a cookie push pop and I LOVE this creative idea! I chose the coffee toffee, chocolate chip, and snickerdoodle cookies along with a cookie push pop. Firstly the cookies are massive. I'm a person who can eat an entire cookie in one sitting but I would think for most people they could eat on one for days. They also have an over abundance of toppings and I love this so much. There wasn't a lack of chocolate chips or toffee on the cookies. These cookies are also super heavy so you know they're packed with flavor. If you're visiting Gibson Mill Market I highly recommend stopping at Cara's Cookie Company for dessert after your meal or a treat to take home!

One thing I totally love about this particular place is that they always have my husband's favorite, key lime pie. They seem to make small tarts pretty regularly but it's usually enough. I ordered an entire pie for his birthday last year and it was a bit pricey (around $30-$35) but delicious and exactly what he always wants. I've also had scones from here and they are my favorite in the area, not dry and tasteless but the perfect consistency and just the right amount of flavor. The staff is always friendly, and I love that they are open on Sunday which is usually a quiet, stroll and town kinda day. I wish I had pictures but the goods always go too fast!

Crumbl Cookies - A Sweet Review…read more If you've spent any time on social media lately, chances are you've seen the iconic pink box from Crumbl Cookies. Known for their oversized, ultra-thick cookies and rotating weekly flavors, this bakery chain has quickly become a dessert sensation. The Cookies Crumbl's biggest selling point is its weekly rotating menu. While they keep staples like Milk Chocolate Chip and Chilled Sugar, the rest of the lineup changes every week--ranging from fun flavors like Cookies & Cream to more decadent creations like Peanut Butter Cup or French Toast-inspired cookies. The cookies are: * Huge - One cookie can easily be shared (though you may not want to). * Soft and thick - Often slightly underbaked in the center for that gooey texture. * Very sweet - Frosted varieties can be rich, so they're best for serious sweet tooth fans. Some flavors truly stand out with creative toppings and bakery-style presentation, while others can feel overly sugary or repetitive depending on the week. The Experience Crumbl's branding is modern and clean. The bright pink box makes the cookies feel giftable and Instagram-ready. Most locations offer quick service, and the open kitchen design lets you watch the cookies being mixed and baked fresh throughout the day. Price They're definitely more expensive than standard cookies, but you're paying for size, presentation, and variety. Many customers treat them as a special treat rather than an everyday snack. Overall Verdict Crumbl Cookies delivers on fun, creativity, and indulgence. While some flavors can be overwhelmingly sweet, the rotating menu keeps things exciting and gives customers a reason to come back weekly. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Perfect for sharing, celebrations, or satisfying a serious dessert craving.

Stop hiring GenZ lazy people! It will be the death of your franchise. This is the second bad experience at a Crumbl. The cookies aren't good enough to stand on name alone. The Huntersville one is also gross, just not as bad.

I've been a few times, and I can say with my chest that I hate their cookies... I do not get the hype at all. However! When they had the Tres Leche cake, I liked that a lot, so when I saw that they had a cheesecake, I was so excited to try it! I picked up my cheesecake, and when I tried it, I was not impressed.. It didn't do it for me at all. Idk, I mean these treats aren't cheap. I feel like I'm always playing a game of Russian roulette when I try crumbl. I want to like them because everyone else does, but I'm disappointed every time with the exception of the Tres Leche. Oh well. Until next time Crumbl.

I came in the door.... I said it before, never has a cake magnetized me more!…read more On this Good Friday, I walked into a homemade cake lovers paradise. I purchased a strawberry shortcake, homemade pound cake with buttercream icing and the banana pudding cake. Just tasted all three and these are not from a box. They each have a unique flavor, texture and look, simply beautiful creations. Every detail of these cakes seems thoughtful and well executed. The banana is iced and a moist batter with light cream and decorated with little Nilla wafers. Confession: I didn't love the flavor. I couldn't taste much banana. The strawberry had the same crumb topping as the strawberry shortcake, ice cream and an entire middle layer of cream. I was there for it. The old fashioned frosted pound cake was nearly perfect, but I could taste the baking soda in the cake. I paid $4.50 per slice. I thought that price was fair, for a tall, generous slice. Also there is a $10 surcharge if you purchase a full cake out of the display. They also had a good looking peach cobbler on offer for $3.50 a serving, and a line out the door! The service was fine. I asked the woman serving, if she was Katrina. She said "no." Whoever Katrina is.... She could be crowned, Kannapolis Cakery Queen.
