    A very cute cookie shop with a small and simple selection of cookies for sale. I did not know it was a cookie shop until I saw the door. Thought it was some visitor's station booth for some reason. The whole shop is decorated with pretty pink flowers all over! Lots of it! So pretty! Inside was very hot and I was baked! AC wasn't working so well and I immediately was in front of the lady and her cookies. The cookies of each flavor came in 2 sizes. Large one is $5 and small one is $2. I ended up getting the Odyssey Signature "Belgian Double", The Penelope "Triple Chocolate", and Banana Cyclops "Chocolate Chunk". The Odyssey Signature one was my favorite. Very chocolatey and soft inside! It was still soft after a few days from buying it. The banana in my opinion was too soft and banana pieces were very mushy and sweet.

    That banana-chocolate cookie! Totally agree with previous reviews. So delicious, like a rich cup of banana pudding, gooey, delicious. Really liked the pecan cookie and the chocolate-chip cookie. The rest (the ginger, yuzu, white-chocolate dark chocolate) were four stars. Coming back for that banana cookie. 5 stars!!!!

    Hubby and I had a sweet tooth and this place was close by. The shop is small and only fits 2-3 customers at a time. We waited for the customers to finish up before we entered. We were greeted by the cashier and he explained the cookies. We opted for the buy 10 minis and get 2 free. I loved how they offer the option to warm them for you. The cookies were pretty good. I recommend trying if you have a sweet tooth and in the mood for cookies.

    I have to say this is one of the most amazing cookies I have ever had in my life! I love banana anything and I stopped by one day to try their small cookie. I also tried the chocolate chip. They were soft yet crunchy on the outside. Needless to say in the last week I have been there 3 times. Owner is super sweet and she gave me a hug when I stopped in today. Even though I'm moving to Brooklyn today, I will definitely come back and get these from time to time.

    Pretty good! I tried the chocolate cookie and the banana one ( I think called cyclops). I liked the banana one better and thought they were a pretty good size. It's a cute little shop in FiDi! The two people there were very nice.

    Came here to try the Cyclops cookie after seeing it all over social media. It was pretty good and I really liked the banana and chocolate chip combination. The regular chocolate chip cookie was just ok. A bit too dense and nothing special. Location is a bit out of the way. Prices are similar to Levain's but Levain still reigns supreme in my opinion. Sidenote: Just tried the new lemon cookie from Levain and it is phenomenal! Must try!!

    Definitely enjoyed the cookies overall. My husband and I wanted to try all six that they had available so we opted for the mini cookies. The ginger cookie was gimmicky. I was expecting a strong ginger punch, but we were barely able to taste the ginger at all. We really enjoyed the pecan pie cookie and the cyclops (banana).

    Delicious cookies!!! Some of the best I've tried in NYC. I tried the classic chocolate chip & the banana one; I think I preferred the chocolate chip, but the banana one was really special - the bananas at the bottom almost get caramelized, and mixed with the chocolate chips it's kind of like chocolate chip banana bread vibes (but in a cookie). The cookies are dense & soft but also have a little crunch, too; the perfect balance. Mine were served room temp, but I bet they'd be even more incredible if they were warm + gooey! They have minis, which is nice, but I feel like the texture / ratio etc wouldn't be right. Go for the big ones!!:) Definitely stop by if you're looking for a sweet treat in FiDi! Pop into Pi as well (the Greek bakery next door - same management), you won't regret it!!

    A cute little cookie shop across from a Greek Bakery located in FiDi. After seeing pictures on yelp, I had to stop by. Ordered the Classic Chocolate Chip and Cyclops (banana). Both were good but I preferred the Cyclops with chunks of banana. No seating inside but outdoor seating is available.

    The millisecond I saw that The Cyclops had caramelized banana in it, I had to order it.

    I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

    Bread treats were decent not too different from other bakeries. The fruit and mushroom cakes were…read moredelicious, I enjoyed a lot more than I expected. Not too sweet and a good balance. Not too sure if I would say it's a must stop at but it's a great choice if you've never had these type of desserts before. The inside doesn't have many tables and it was pretty busy when I went, so I wouldn't expect to get a seat every time you come here.

    Sometimes a plain, room temperature English muffin is not going to do it for breakfast. Today was…read moreone of those days that I need subsistence to get me through the morning. Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!!

They are on the thicker side yet so incredibly soft on the inside and have a perfect crisp on the outer edges, top, and bottom!! Demitri was so kind and accommodated for my complicated and long order! I definitely recommend the Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie, it was so rich in flavor! The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
