The cookies are made to order and baked fresh so give it a good 45 minute or so for the cookies to be ready! We were feeling lazy so we ordered it for local delivery (+$10) but they kept in touch over text and kept us in the loop about our cookie delivery! The cookies are MASSIVE and absolutely delicious! So ooey gooey and crunchy all in one. Definitely will order from here next time we're back (perfect drunchies!! Or honestly any time)

They have such a wide selection of "fun" cookie names on their site, you will just have to browse through all and make your selection. As everyone mentions, the cookies are huge! About 2x the size of a normal cookie. They are definitely on the sweeter and decadent side, but exactly what you are looking for late night on a weekend. In my experience, it takes about 30 minutes from the time you place the order to being ready.

The merch is also incredibly cute. Almost got myself a stick of butter mug.

Don't underestimate PIE...LEGACY PIE as a reward for yourself no matter how far you need to drive to get there!! Do I have pictures? Sadly no. I gobbled my cherry hand pie down so fast that my Grandma Lucile would have chastised me for my rude behavior! My friend ordered the chicken pot pie and it looked so yummy I bought one to take home to my husband. I enjoyed the curry hand pie and boy - what a fantastic flavor in pie crust! Double Yum! My only regret today is I didn't buy a few more mini pies to take home to my freezer! Way to go small business! #pieisawayoflife PS The store is very cute and decorated with fun little gifts or treats you could make as a hostess gift when you stop to get a pie to bring for dessert. #DontwalkRUN!

I ended up getting quiche for myself, pepperoni pizza for my wife as well as a plain croissant, chocolate pistachio croissant and maple cinnamon bun. The quiche was just okay in my opinion but everything else was stand out. My wife loved the pizza and the homemade ranch is AMAZING. The chocolate pistachio croissant was tasty, very flakey. The cinnamon bun was also very good but the frosting was a bit sweeter for my taste. A must visit if you're considering a solid bakery!

We were hoping to try the breakfast sandwiches but were disappointed to see that they stop serving them after 11 am- which is fine, we ordered the vegetation artichoke sandwich to share instead. It was super wet and goopy without any crunch or other texture, but the flavor was good. The prices were high for what we got. We also tried the chocolate pistachio croissant which was also super messy and leaked everywhere on the warm day. The staff was friendly enough and there is plenty of outside seating.

Love their Ché, and they were patient with my partner's kids when we went together - hesitantly making each of them some sort of caffeinated beverage. That's what they wanted! We hung out, played games, and enjoyed this hidden jewel of a dessert spot.

I think we just tried Bambu at the wrong time.

So when we tried the 3 treasure dessert from here, it was interesting. There was something off. I can't quite put it. I don't have a strong opinion on if this was good or just meh. Something feels missing. I've tried Bambu in California before and remember liking it but I think I'll stick with the avocado drink (if they still have it) next time instead of he 3 treasure.

Olde Town Arvada is way off my usual stomping grounds, so although I had read quite a bit about…read morethis shop over the years, I had never visited. We finally decided to check out the shopping and dining district. Rheinlander was our final (and best!) stop. The bakery dates back to 1963 and is now on the third generation of ownership. The quality is certainly being maintained at a high level. This is a traditional, German bakery with a huge variety of authentic European cakes, cupcakes, sweet and savory pastries, pies, cookies, coffee cakes, and the only reason I think a German bakery should exist--strudel! Strudels are available whole, half, or by the slice. The usual flavors are apple, cherry, blueberry cream cheese, cherry cream cheese, and Boston cream. We bought slices of the apple, cherry, and blueberry cream cheese. These were perfection and absolutely delightful. I was totally focused on the strudel case (yes, there's a lot of strudel on offer), but I believe there are eight huge cases of treats, each one looking more enticing than the next. Quite a few gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free options are available, so if that's what you need, this is the place for you. The bakery was moderately busy during our visit. There was plenty of staff and they were all friendly, helpful, and very efficient, so purchases moved swiftly. Lots of coffee and drink options are available. There's nice outside seating if you can't wait to take your goodies home. It's a long drive for us, but we were really impressed and we'll find a reason to visit Arvada so we can stop back soon. Yum.

There cool art on the wall, and a presentation with the 'tour', feels kinda like a mad scientists kitchen. Worth a trip and value for the ticket price, really unique business idea.

The shop is small, very busy and highly efficient with regard to service. A good selection of different combinations were available along with plenty of samples. The raspberry chocolate chip ice cream in a pretzel cone was an easy choice. The raspberry flavor was bold and the chips were plentiful. It was a delightful combination. The pretzel cone was good but very hard and I felt it detracted from the scoop. If you are interested in good ice with unique flavors, give Sweet Cow a chance.

That really made the experience for us. The place was also sparkling clean, which is really important to me. There is also some outside seating if you're interested. What a concept!

It was around 2pm, not so busy inside, and the servers were really nice helping us what the difference in flavors, what their specialties were and offered samples to help us decide. WHAT WE SWALLOWED: *PECAN PRALINE MINI SUNDAE: I just love me some candied nuts and pecan praline has always been a favorite of mine since I was a child. The girl behind the counter was smart in giving me this sample ans I scooped it right up. Creamy ice cream and delicious pecan pralines. This was so good. *COOKIE MONSTER MINI SUNDAE: One of my daughters got this and I have to admit, the cookie monster ice cream in itself was so good. The lady behind the counter said it was one of their specialties. It's blue (duh) and it has either brownie or chocolate chunks. It was really good but I didn't want to be walking around with a blue mouth (yes, it made my daughter's mouth blue!) lol *THE MERMAID MINI SUNDAE: My other daughter got this as she loves mermaids. It was very cute and the ice cream inside it was delicious but she did say the mermaid tail tasted like wax (it was chocolate) and she didn't even finish it (which is saying a lot). Be prepared for lots of ice cream and the price tag that comes with it. Worth of stop if you're in the area, happy we had our sundae fix satiated but not sure if I would drive all the way down here just for this.
