The Cyclops (~$5)
Aya E.

Ordered: The Cyclops (~$5): chocolate chunk banana The Circe (~$5): chocolate ginger Aya's take: Cookie Odyssey is making some of the most decadent and distinctive cookies I've ever had! The millisecond I saw that The Cyclops had caramelized banana in it, I had to order it. The Circe was also intriguing as I've never had a cookie with actual ginger in it. The Cyclops was perfect. It's soft, thick, gooey, and sweet from the banana but not overwhelmingly sweet from the chocolate chunks. Such as satisfying cookie & I definitely don't want to know how many calories it has. The Circe was unique; the chocolate and ginger combination surprisingly worked, the flavor was actually quite refreshing despite how dense it is. They're located at a kiosk on the outdoor patio. The worker who took our order was slightly cold & unfriendly which took away from the experience a bit. Nonetheless, don't miss out!

Saw them on tiktok and it looked sooo yum! got there around 1pm wanting a fresh cookie and grabbed a banana cookie asap to try but they didn't have the oven on to warm it up :/ I only like my cookies warmed up for the best taste. I just believe places like these should be ready for customers to ask for items warmed up. They offer cookies with ice cream too so I'd assume if someone ordered that, they'd like the cookie warmed up, but they would've been disappointed to know they weren't warming it up at the time. I still got it because I know it'll be good warmed up! But now I'm touring the city with a cookie in my bag for 10 hrs before I get back home to warm it up to eat :( Other than that, the cookie is delish and would recommend.

A cute and very small cookie spot in the heart of the fidi area. Big cookies are $5 each and small ones are $2.00. Small but great selection of flavors. Got the banana chocolate chip & the classic odyssey cookie. In my opinion the banana chocolate chip (the smaller one) was so much better than the classic cookie. Perfect amount of banana and chocolate chips. Not over or under cooked and had the right texture. I'd stop by again and get a batch of those for sure!

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.

Large banana chocolate chip and small chocolate chip made with 3 kinds of chocolate.

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.

Chocolate chip and Cyclops cookies

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!!

Kristina I.

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).

Cookie selection

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!!

Cyclops
Jessica M.

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 banana cookie isn't pretty, but the 5-star reviews are well-deserved. It's absolutely delicious!

Amavi is a great place to celebrate a birthday if you like a loud, DJ spinning, hookah smoking, over priced Mediterranean restaurant, this is the place for you.

Standouts: branzino cooked to perfection, dangerously good pita (we ordered extra), and the shrimp skewer. The hanger steak and lobster arrabbiata (could've been spicier) were also hits. Chicken skewer? Just okay. We had thLychee martinis & Dreams of Amalfi Hazelnut bar, crème brûlée (we topped itwith melted chocolate from the cheesecake), and Dubai chocolate cheesecake On the pricier side, but worth it for the ambiance, service, and flavors.

Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. The chocolate lava cake was super rich and decadent but also really delicious. I feel like it kinda battled with the ube crepe cake since they're total opposites. The staff were friendly. The interior was really cute and had a relaxing type of atmosphere that made it great for a nice place to sit, chat, and have dessert.
