B.L.U.F. (Bottom Line Up Front...) It's a good cookie. Is it FIVE DOLLARS A COOKIE GOOD? Nah…read more
Stopped by here to see what all the damn hype is about, and have to say that I was very much "meh-ed." There were like 6 choices, one of which was chocolate chip, so I'm not sure we should even count that. Another was Fruity Pebbles, which....am I 4? (Side note, this is the one my four year old actually picked out for herself.) I think churro, rocky road, cookie dough and blueberry cheesecake rounded out the rest of the choices. We got the aforementioned Fruity Pebbles for the baby, and the Misses and I split the blueberry cheesecake. Splitting a cookie is definitely something I recommend, as the cookies ARE large enough to split, and they are astronomically expensive. Two cookies, and OF COURSE, the "do you want to leave a tip for the nothing that I did?" came out to almost TWELVE DOLLARS.
About the cookies themselves: flavorful, but oh dear god was it SWEEEEEEEET. Like, my body had a weird reaction sweet. Like, "did I do something wrong, and I'm going into a coma" sweet. I believe the phrase is "cloyingly" sweet. Like seriously, any more than the half that I had, and I would not have been able to do it. And this was a CHEESECAKE flavor, so I figured it would have been milder, and less sweet, and tasted of....you know....cream cheese.....nope. Just a sugary punch in the mouth. WAY too sweet. I didn't taste the Fruity Pebbles, because I didn't want to die, but I can only imagine if the cheesecake one was way too sweet, the FRUITY PEBBLES one was probably like eating fistfuls of sugar.
Also, they somehow got the order wrong, and brought us out the wrong cookies, which was weird because we were the only people there, so they weren't busy. But they show you the cookies before they give them to you so you can approve/disapprove of the appearance, so we got it sorted out pretty quickly.
The store itself is SUPER tiny, and the self order kiosks were both out of order, (Guaranteed that is so they can get more tip money.....), but it was clean and bright.
Overall, a good cookie, but just way too sweet, and way, way, WAY too overpriced. I won't be back on MY dime.
