Mingos cookies is 1000x better than the national pink box chain cookie. The staff is friendly and this has consistently been a go to spot for personal events as well as corporate events. They come through every time! The owner, Daniel is especially great. Cares not only for his business but his community and bringing quality business to the Lexington/Columbia and Irmo area. read more

Mingos Cookies & Bubble Tea - Havana cookie! A special Birthday treat just for me! - Desserts Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

I took my four kids here to get milk tea. The employee was a teenage girl around 17-19 range. She was extremely rude. She made it clear that it would take awhile since she had to make 5 different teas. She went in the back and started slamming things around while sighing loudly. read more

Great service and yummy lemonade boba drinks...:) staff had extra patience with our lack of knowledge and ability to quickly make a choice! Haha! read more

Very good boba! Disappointed though that they used to have gluten free cookies but then stopped making them. Frustrating for someone who is gluten free and has limited choices. read more

The cookies are fresh and delicious. As are the bubble teas. The staff is friendly and helps you with the many bubble tea options they have!

So I tried this place yesterday. It was okay, I feel it has a nice design and atmosphere. The scenery was very nice and it has a cool concept. Their cookie display was very helpful and made it easier to see the size and design of the cookie. It really helped me and my family figure out which one we wanted. They also sell really good drinks I recommend trying those. They have frozen lemonades and Boba. I got the pineapple lemonade it was pretty decent. When it came to the cookies they looked very cool however they lacked flavor for me. Most of them tasted like plain cookies with no flavor in my opinion. Like they all tasted the same, it is like they taste doughy with no distinct flavor. Like air. It is still a cool experience and if you want to just look at the cookies then I would just do that. The flower wall makes for some good photos. And their drinks are still good. This is just my opinion of course you will have to see for yourself it may be just fine to you. This is not to bad mouth the business what's so ever. This is just my honest opinion. read more

Food: 4 Affordable: 4 Customer Service: 5 Location/ Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Reservations: NA This cookie shop is conveniently situated on Sunset Blvd, and near the downtown Lexington, SC shopping area. We stopped by this location a few days ago, and placed an online order. Their online application was very easy and convenient. Their customer service was very friendly and professional. We decided to try 4 different cookies so we could get a true accessment of them. All 4 cookies were very good and very sweet. I'd also recommend that 2 people might want to share a cookie, because we thought that they were pretty bit. Which probably explains why the average cookie is $3 each. read more

Mingos Cookies & Bubble Tea - Ooey Gooey - Desserts Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

Stopped by with my parents in the morning to pick up a few different options. Let's be real, you really only need 1 at most because they are so good, you won't stop eating them! My favorite was the birthday cake but I did enjoy the others. Pick up earlier in the day as they will quickly run out of your favorites around 4-5 pm. Best when they are warm! Definitely must try if you're in the market for a new sweet treat or guilty pleasure! read more

Mingos Cookies & Bubble Tea - Clockwise (chocolate chip, birthday cake, cocky, and caramel) - Desserts Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

I had to take a break mid bite and sip to proclaim to the world about Mingos. How did I get here? Well, somehow Yelp knows me and Mingos popped up in my Yelp search or suggestions at some point in the last 8 weeks. I haven't had an opportunity to pick up some boba since I've made my way into the Columbia area. I needed to run some errands today and decided to venture to Lexington. A boba fix seemed like the right decision, and Mingos was right next to Home Depot! Yelpers, let me tell you. I came here for the boba. The lavender milk tea specifically. Their menu now has avocado. That distracted me for thirty seconds. So I stuck to my lavender love. Then I saw the cookies. Seeing is believing that you need one in your life. These are some thick cut cookies. Apple Crisp is the current special, but I'm not a big apple dessert fan. I thought I'd go for a chocolate themed cookie. But wait, Havana Oh, La, La locked eyes with me and it was a match made in the kitchen. Guys, I haven't even finished the cookie (although I took a few bites since I started this review) but I had to let the world know to come swing through Mingos. How's the boba you're asking, come get some. Tasty milk tea base and perfectly chewy boba. I'm going to make sure I come back out here!! read more

If you want to try some gourmet cookies and unordinary drinks; then you should stop by Mingo's. Mingo's has a wide variety of cookies, and they are not like regular cookies. I would say they are probably 3 times bigger and have unique favors. Some of the cookies flavors they have are Red Velvet Cheesecake, Havana Oh la la, Fruity Pebbels Cinnamon Crunch, Reese's Nutter Crunch, and they also have special as well. Mingos cookies are a little pricey, but you won't regret it at all. The cheapest cookie is $2.50 and the most expensive is $3.75. At Mingos they also offer milk Tea(Boba) and Fruit Tea, coffee, and lattes, but in my opinion they are a little pricey. The Milk tea comes in two sizes, regular $4.95 and large $7.15. This includes 1 or 2 milk tea flavors and boba flavors. If you wanted a fruit tea regular cost $6.15 and large $8.15. This includes tea flavor and boba flavor. Coffee prices range from the cheapest $1.95 and the expensive is $3. 25. One aspect of Mingos that I really like is they have a rewards program. With their rewards program you can get discounts and free cookies or drink as well. All you do is sign up for free and type in you phone number everytime you go. If you are apart of the rewards program Mingos gives you a free cookie on your birthday(Birthday Cake Cookie). Mingos has a very friendly and clean environment. When you walk in there is a couple of tables were you can sit at. When you get to the counter they have a display of all the cookies they have available for the day; which is very nice. With all that I said in this post; I would definitely recommend to anyone that they should go check Mingo's out one day. read more

Mingos Cookies & Bubble Tea - Birthday cookie - Desserts Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

Had my first bubble tea experience recently and had a craving for another so I gave this place a try. The shop is absolutely adorable! The smells when you walk in are heavenly. The staff was very helpful explaining which flavors are more sweet versus sour. I also love that there are two size options. I went with a raspberry tea with strawberry bubbles, and it was super refreshing! I also grabbed two cookies. A pumpkin spiced snickerdoodle and a Clemson cookie for my Tiger Fan husband (*sigh*). This is such a cute place to stop for a sweet treat. Will definitely be back! read more

Everyone needs a happy place and Mingos has been such a place for me. Almost daily. (Dude, it's kind of embarrassing, but I really don't care.) Mingos is winning the cookies and boba game in this town. Let's break this down, shall we? The cookies: These folks put a lot of love and ambition in their gigantic homemade cookies. Notable faves include Nutella Overload, Red Velvet Cheesecake and Havana Oh, La, La with guava and cream cheese. I've collected these cookies into my bribery arsenal to get my kids to do homework and their chores. Works like magic. Speaking of magic, let's talk boba aka tapioca pearls aka bubble tea. Do a quick Google search and discover a whole subculture of what you've been missing in your life. My usuals are the original milk tea with boba and the lychee fruit tea with boba, half sweet. I do declare bubble tea is the concoction for world peace. Why? Everyone is nicer and in a better mood while sipping this stuff. On top of all that, the cafe is open late to help satiate my sweet tooth hankering well into the evening hours. This is a major biggie. Bless you guys for staying open while others shut down. Mingos, take my money! read more

Found out about this place from a Columbia foodie group and thought I'd give it a try. My rating is based off the customer service, atmosphere, location, and for the quality and appearance of the cookies. The cookies were all great and very large in size. Definitely enough for sharing. I chose four cookies- Chocolate chip, Red velvet, Cookies and Cream, and one with fruity pebbles. My total came to $15 for four cookies. All were great and worth the price! Will be back. read more

Mingos Cookies & Bubble Tea - Desserts Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

I had high hopes. They were deflated, punctured, and crushed. The cookie was mediocre AT BEST. But what made this experience truly horrific, was the tension in the store. As I entered the premises, I could tell I had just walked in on, and interrupted an uncomfortable bash down on the employees from what I soon found out was the owner. Once I entered, the harsh rant ceased. But after I ordered my stuff, I could hear the owner speaking in a demeaning and inhumane way to one of the employees in the back. This is 2023. I didn't realize that treating your employees like scum was, in fact, not a thing of the past. As this was going on the employee at the register was clearly shaken, and she was trembling when she handed me my change. Do. Better. Employees are humans too. read more

The s'mores cookie I had was delicious! I tried a bubble milk tea and it was sub par. The boba wasn't very chewy and the milk tea was barely cold. I generally like my bubble teas nice and cold with chewy boba. I might try again and ask for ice in my tea. See if that changes my opinion. read more

I used to love coming to Mingos and always had a good experience with all the workers there. I especially enjoyed interacting with Mikey. Me and my friends would come in and it would feel like we were hanging out with friends. The only problem I have with this store is the way the workers are treated. A few times I witnessed the owner be very unprofessional and rather disrespectful to a few of the employees. I also thought the cookies looked familiar and realized that they are almost an exact copy of Night Owl cookies in Miami which I had visited a few years ago. Very disappointed. read more

Why are you reading this review and not eating Mingo's Cookies?!?! This place is absolutely incredible! Cookies for every craving guaranteed to give you all the feels and the diabeetus. Just kidding!

Service was fast, pri es are very good and the Cookies are great. I will order again from here, I recommend this cookie place.

These are yummy cookies with toppings. We got the birthday cake, ooey, gooey and Reese's, I think was the name of it. They were very good, but messy. Would be better to eat with a fork and lots of napkins. Our daughter also got a Boba tea, strawberry with the bubbles. It's different, the bubbles pop in your mouth. The photo is the birthday cake cookie in honor of our son's birthday. The cookies are very rich and easily shareable. read more

Went to Mingo's in Irmo area for the 1st time today. Ordered a regular coffee with almond milk. Since I was the only customer, I could here an employees say, "We are out of milk". Response from other employee, "We can use powdered milk. My dad uses it all the time." Nothing said to customer (me) whether the substitution was acceptable. Since I never use non-dairy creamers, I asked employees if they had substituted almond milk for powdered milk and they said, "Yes, but you should not be able to taste the difference". I said I do not drink powdered milk and requested a refund. Employees said they did not know how to issue a refund. So basically, I paid for a cup of coffee that ended up in the trash. read more
