Must try: Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate!…read more Why: Well dang, this place has been on my list for a while and I finally got to try and loved it. Truly thin, soft, and chewy! I had my doubts that a thin cookie could still be so soft and chewy packed with sweet deliciousness but they def proved me wrong. I got a box of 6 to try and I did love the originals the most: Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate. I also tried Snickerdoodle, White Chocolate Macadamia, Lemon Crumble, and KitKat. Snickerdoodle and KitKat didn't totally come through for me with their respective flavors but still good. I devoured the Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate and took a bite of all the other ones to taste. I ended up saving some for the next day and they were still soft and delicious! Notes: Small shop with one kiosk on right or you can order from cashier. I used the kiosk and cookies were ready in nearly a minute. They have a few high tables with chairs in front if you want to enjoy on the spot. I ended up taking mine to go so they gave me a bag for convenience. I like the box design that divides each cookie making it easy to grab and eat. The wall with all the messages was hilarious - some fun messages about their competition Crumbl that's across the street.

It was decadent, had great texture and great strawberry flavor. - Their midnight banana bread was also delicious, with a subtle banana flavor coming through and pairing very nicely with the rich chocolate flavor. - The corn Oreo was a very interesting rendition of the classic treat and honestly worked pretty well. When I went, there was no line since they had just opened and the service moved efficiently through their small store. While there is no room inside to eat, there is a park nearby where you can grab a seat and enjoy their delicious baked goods.

Small bakery with big dreams…read more This small shop had a big line outside on a Saturday before opening. For some reason that always draws me in,.... Haha. Anyway I did need a sweet for dessert and I had heard great things. I knew I needed the Choco Toffee for sure but inquired about other customer favs, the Confetti and "Kitchen Sink" were two other options. The Choco Toffee texture was crispier and definitely the better. The confetti was more of a soft baked version. The kitchen sink was my least favorite. I also got the homemade Oreo which was of the one bite soft baked variety (I suppose all Oreos were originally intended to be so but the alternate twist of the top and bottom of the Oreo made it a two biter, haha). The bakery is really small so it's really a grab and go.

After trying this place at the old location once and being a little disappointed, I decided to give…read morethem another shot, and wow, was I blown away this time! We tried three cookies: - The chocolate chip - The s'mores - The blackberry jam on toast Let me tell you, all three of them were great! The textures this time around were amazing. They were crunchy on the outside yet decadently soft on the inside. They were nice and warm when we ate them. The thing I loved about all three of them is that they weren't too sweet. My favorite one was definitely the blackberry jam on toast. The flavor was so well balanced between the fruitiness of the blackberry and the oaty-ness of the rest of the cookie. The s'mores was my second favorite, with a soft, gooey interior that paired perfectly with the crunchy exterior. The chocolate chip also was solid, and I cannot complain at all. The atmosphere of this place smells like cookies and is nice and warm, and the service is efficient. If you're looking for a great cookie, this is definitely a spot worth checking out!

But wow. I really really enjoyed how soft, pillowy and chewy the dough was on these cinnamon rolls. We got the regular one with vanilla icing, the blueberry pancake one and the biscoff one and they were all pretty good but the vanilla icing one was where they truly shine. It is a cream cheese frosting so it's got a bit of that funk which is really enjoyable but their dough is something else. It's so airy, chewy, voluminous, it's literally like biting and then chewing through a cloud. I was chewing for a really long time unexpectedly and I really liked it. The blueberry pancake one got better the next day after all the components softened and became more homogeneous. The biscoff one was excellent too; if you like cookie butter from TJ's you'll LOVE this. I will say I think this place makes a better cinnamon roll than some of the more hyped places out there and is DEF worth a visit!

My one complaint is that if you ask for it to be heated up, they just microwave it, which feels like such an insult to the craftsmanship they put into the cinnamon roll.

Spirals is putting a little twist (pun intended) on their cinnamon rolls offering flavors you wouldn't normally see. We of course had to try their Original Cinnamon Roll which was very well-done. It has a soft interior, slightly crisp exterior, beautiful cinnamon-caramel glaze on the exterior layer with a delicious vanilla bean cream cheese frosting that I could've eaten by the spoonful. I'm a sucker for bananas and found the Banana Pudding Roll to be spot on. Great flavor but the banana filling ended up being slightly too sweet and I would've loved real banana pieces inside instead. The Mango Sticky Rice Roll was truly the highlight. I'm definitely the first person in my bloodline to have such a creation lol. It was a great take on mango sticky rice. The sticky rice was delicious with the coconut sauce and fresh mangos. I wish it had more fresh mangos honestly. The mango jam filling was a nice touch instead considering there were only 3 small slices of fresh mango. I wish they had better packaging, particularly boxes that accommodate more than 1 roll. Worth a try!

I remember when their cookies were closer to $2.50, compared to their current $4.25 cookie prices, LOL. A great deal for the size... maybe not the higher quality ingredients you will find at some NYC bakeries, but still yummy for a sweet indulgence. They always seem to find the best people to work in their stores, including this location ... friendly, helpful, patient, personable. I often get the classic chocolate chip with salt, plus another flavor. They have always had a changing flavor rotation, which is fun. Enjoy!

Looking at the display case ignited all sorts of happiness as all of their goods are so pretty and tasty looking! They also sell the flowers as well. Service was friendly and hip. I tried a slice of chocolate espresso cake-- it was not very sweet, and the coffee flavor was hard to discern. The texture was dense and kind of chewy for cake (almost like if it was made with mochi rice flour). The firm bounciness turned me off a bit. I'll have to come back to try their other flavors to see if this was unique to their chocolate flavor cake! But the frosting was very rich and fudgy, which helped balance the cake texture. While the cake wasn't really my style, the chocolate chip cookie was stellar! It was very large and flat, but it had a nice chew and a nice balance of sweet and salty with the salt flakes. Unless you snag one of the window seats inside or the 2 tiny tables outside, expect to take your goodies to go. If you're on a cookie quest, definitely include From Lucie on the list! I'll be back to try their other cake flavors. :)

I ordered the snickerdoodles, the chocolate chip cookies topped with chocolate (I probably could have done without as the cookies had enough chocolate in them,) the banana bread (which was my favorite), the chocolate peanut butter cup, and the chocolate fudge brownie topped with raspberry. I felt a little chocolate heavy, and I think the brownie would be best balanced with the sourness of the raspberry, as it was also chocolate heavy. Overall, everything I have tried has been delicious. I had to cut little bites of each because as I mentioned, my order was rich with chocolate (that was my fault not the bakery). I would definitely order again as it's nice to get a sweet treat that is vegan and tastes great. One add, and it might just have been through Uber Eats, but I thought the chocolate and/or raspberry addition for $3 was a little high given the small amount that was added (specifically raspberry, the chocolate addition on the cookies was plentiful). Doesn't take away from the flavor though.
