I dug my wallet and luckily had just enough for a cronut to share. $3 and the cronut was delicious and sweet. It was more donut than croissant and had a little crisp to it.

The inside was…read morevary clean and the doughnuts were well organized.. there were 2 coin operated toy machines which I didn't really understand. But otherwise the way the inside looked was very welcoming. I ordered a peanut chocolate, glazed cake, doughnut, and an apple fritter. Both were good, "not great, but good, solid C+ doughnuts" but the cost for two donuts was $5.75 !?! $3 a doughnut, whaaaat???!?!?! Boy do I miss the days of a .20 cent jelly filled glazed doughnut. How times have changed, sad face, but honestly the prices at Ferrell's are ridiculous. All things considered, IMO The juice is not worth the squeeze. 2 stars

A couple things that were weren't ideal are cash only, luckily I had cash on me, normally I don't. And the breakfast bagel was a bit plain. It had exactly what I ordered on it- egg, cheese, and ham but I thought it would be buttered or have some cream cheese spread onto the bagel itself.

The cookies themselves are ENORMOUS. They are presented very well, with packed information ("maybe stored in an alright container for up to a week: for optimal freshness and flavor, freeze ANY cookies you don't plan on eating immediately!"). I ordered a loot of cookies to share, along with peanut butter and oatmeal raisin. If you buy them in bulk you can save money. A thousand perfect recommend this place, make sure you get here early (if you can) some of their most popular cookies sell out fast. Thank you, and I look forward to my next visit.

Supppper yummy, great service, and welcoming ambiance…read more As soon as I walked in, I was met with the comforting taste of freshly baked cookies. They had quite a variety of different cookies and the staff was nice when asked questions. I tried the peanut butter and Almond Joe cookie. Both were delicious but the Almond Joe was superb! It's a combo of chocolate and nuts which give the cookie a really nice texture. It was buttery warm, soft, but also chewy. So good.

I also got the Tres Leches Coffee, easy 5/5. Service was pretty quick, and they try to get people served as quickly as possible.

Solid 5 stars for these two. Now, on to the pastries... I purchased a French baguette, an apple tart and chocolate chip cookies. The French baguette was flat, soft, and didn't have any flavor. There was no crust to it, no crackling. Nothing against plain white bread, but it was like plain white bread... when I wanted a baguette. Maybe it was an off day, but I would pass on the baguette. 1 star. The apple pear tart was pretty sweet. And the crust was dense without any layers. It was alright, but nothing special. 1 star. The chocolate chip cookies were the best part of my purchase. Although not a full rant, these were your basic chocolate chip cookie. Slightly better than what you would get in a package, but not the cookie you would come back to. 2 stars.

(The meat pie and pastry we ordered were not warmed all the way, but the bagel was good) Then inside seating area was also sticky and slightly dirty looking. Our second visit was yesterday 6/20, and it sounds like we weren't the only unhappy customers based on other reviews. I'm not surprised to hear the lady in charge that morning rudely made customers leave because she "needed a reset". We asked about getting pizza around 10:45 am, which we acknowledged was early...but just asking to see what was possible. Instead of a real explanation, we got a snarky look at her watch and just an "um, noooo" with a bad attitude. If there was a real reason, like the dough wasn't ready or the oven wasn't on (it was, we could see the flames) I would understand. However, the lady was complaining to a coworker about an issue with the manager or something while we waited in line so there was already some unprofessional behavior beyond the lack of customer service. We left without getting anything at that point. We won't be back to Venus, The Pixie Deli down the street has good food and friendly service.
