I recently learned about Big Fat Cookie online and was drawn to support them... I ordered a four…read morepack of cookies and had them in my hands (and belly) within a few days. The four pack that I ordered included an oatmeal raisin cookie, a quadruple chocolate chip cookie, a classic chocolate chip cookie, and a 50/50, which is a 50/50 mixture of classic chocolate chip and quadruple chocolate, for the indecisive in all of us. I ate this entire cookie all by myself and it was sooooo good! The cookies come wrapped individually with colorful stickers and include the ingredients and reheating instructions too. (They recommend warming room temperature cookies @350 degrees 5-8 minutes for a melty chocolate inside, crispy outside). There are tons of other options for purchase on the website that look IG worthy and beautiful but I'm sure taste amazing too. Some that caught my eye for my next order are the following: -A Pack For Peace: let there be light, which is a special 4 pack using the colors of the beautiful blue & white Israeli flag. I just now see that the profits from 'Let there be light' will be donated to Magen David Adom Israel's national EMS/ambulance service and to United Hatzalah which provides rapid medical treatment. Love this and the cookies included sound and look incredible too... especially this one: -Brown butter cookie base+ cinnamon swirl, meringue glaze, covered with blue and white sugar sprinkles -Proud & Groovy rainbow edition -Good Humor edition -Smores -Black n' White but better This local biz is women owned and has a "born and baked" in Chicago. I definitely recommend checking them out!

I am indifferent to these because of the strong almond flavor. 4) The pistachio croissant was buttery and flakey with a flavorful pistachio cream filling and crushed pistachios. 5) The cannoli are freshly piped when you order it. A lot of bakeries have cannoli piped in advance and there's a risk of the shell getting soft before consumption. You have the option of finishing it with chocolate chips and/or crushed pistachio. We went with both and it was delicious.

The texture is on point - ideal amount of crispiness to the exterior, which crumbles like a meringue and collapses into this perfectly chewy but delicate interior with a completely different vibe. The flavors are paired in exactly the right ratio - in each bite are hits of both pistachio and a heavenly almond marzipan, but never is it just a mish mosh. Just the right everything. Mmmm MMMM! I'm forgoing dinner tonight in favor of a couple more of these.

I came across Sweet Shot Cookies on a cookie reviewer's Instagram, and what appealed to me were the stuffed cookies. I found my way to Sweet Shot Cookies' website and decided to get the OG 6 Pack Triple, which included double chocolate chip, s'mores, chocolate peanut butter + nutella, cinnamon sugar, PB&J, and funfetti. Not going to lie, the cookies I ordered were overall misses for me. As soon as the delivery arrived I had the s'mores and cinnamon sugar cookie straight out of the box. I did appreciate the packaging. The cookies were sealed securely, and none of them were broken. They tasted good, but I thought they were average at best. I was disappointed by how dense and hard they were, and the filling had seeped out of the s'mores. It was such a mess. I gave Sweet Shot Cookies the benefit of the doubt though. I assumed this happened during transit, plus it probably didn't help that it has been in the late 90s where I'm from in California. I really loved the stuffed cookies concept, and I had no doubt that Sweet Shot Cookies were better in-person when they're fresh. After my initial response, Hallie (the founder) reached out to me and offered to rectify my experience by reimbursing me AND sending me a fresh batch. I was really surprised by such kindness. I was so humbled that she went out of her way to do that, but most importantly I appreciated that she asked me questions to troubleshoot how to prevent similar issues from happening in the future. Not only was she so communicative and transparent, I felt that she was really trying to understand the situation rather than slap a band-aid on it. This spoke volumes to me of excellence in customer service. I was given the second chance to try out Sweet Shot Cookies, and I got to say that the first batch was a fluke, y'all. Sweet Shot Cookies are definitely the real deal! I sampled several of the cookies as soon as the package arrived in order to try them while fresh as possible. The s'mores cookie had redeemed itself! It was in perfect condition. The marshmallow filling was intact, and the cookie itself was ooey and gooey. I absolutely loved it, and I could easily put it in my top 5 of best s'mores cookies. Let me preface in saying that I don't particularly care much for funfetti/ sugar cookie with sprinkles. With that said, I didn't bother eating the butter sprinkle funfetti from the first order. I realized, however, that I did myself a disservice by not trying it. The butter sprinkle funfetti was actually my most favorite cookie of them all. It was so soft and buttery, and the iced filling was literally and figuratively icing on the cake. I felt like it was my birthday again. I also had the pleasure of trying the chocolate PB nutella, cinnamon cookie butter, sugar PB&J and triple chocolate. These cookies were equally as fantastic. They all tasted fresh, had soft and chewy textures, and maintained the integrity of their fillings. I can't wait to check out Sweet Shot Cookies next time I'm Chicago. Until then, I'll be looking forward to my next online order!

The woman behind the counter was welcoming and conversational. Granted I was the only patron in the cafe at the time, it still made me glad that I had gone in. It just feels nice going into an establishment and feeling like you've had a brief check-in with friends. I bought two personal cheesecakes, one River's Key Lime and one Choc Chip Westside. Because I was saving them to have later throughout the week in small bites, I had a taste of each and don't think I will be buying anyone else's cheesecake for awhile. These cheesecakes are outstanding. If they served coffee or tea, I would have a sit-down and enjoy a few bites of cheesecake on the premises. If my mind serves me correct, they have access to Wi-Fi, so there wouldn't be a need to rush. Out of respect to them, I wouldn't want to bring food into the establishment. In the meantime, I will certainly patron them when I want a dessert other than cake. Next time I go, I will check to see if they bake specialty cheesecakes for birthdays.

First of all they make you jump through hoops just to get cheesecake. You can't just walk up to the window and order a slice which I find ridiculous! They make you give up all of your personal information just to make a purchase. I found the cheesecake to be on the dry side. Nothing special here folks. Don't bother wasting your time and money on a product they brag about. I could make a much better cheesecake blindfolded!! What I mostly upset about is the cost and wasting my time. I don't get what the hype is about. Unfortunately I cannot in good conscience recommend this establishment. Should you be considering trying it here is my advice. Run like your the last two monkeys boarding Noah's Ark and it's starting to rain! That's a solid no from me. You've been warned. Enter at your own risk!!!

I have been a regular customer of TOUS les JOURS and have purchased many cakes and pastries from…read morethem in the past, and I have always been happy with the quality. Unfortunately, my recent experience with a Heart Choco Cake from the Buffalo Grove location was extremely disappointing. The cake tasted and felt like it was old. The cake was very dry, and unfortunately, no one in my family was able to eat it. This was very different from the quality I have experienced from TOUS les JOURS previously. What was even more disappointing was how my concern was handled. I called the store to report the issue, expecting that they might at least want to understand what happened or inspect the cake. Instead, I was simply told that they could not do anything. I even offered to bring the cake back to the store so they could check it themselves. Only one slice had been cut, so there was still plenty of the cake available for them to inspect. As a long-time customer, I wasn't expecting anything unreasonable. I simply expected someone to take the complaint seriously, look at the product, and try to understand why the cake was so dry and seemingly not fresh. I understand that occasionally a product may not meet expectations, but customer service is especially important when a customer takes the time to report a genuine quality issue. Unfortunately, the response I received left me very disappointed. I hope the management will take this feedback seriously and review both the quality-control process for cakes and how product complaints are handled. I have enjoyed many products from TOUS les JOURS in the past, which is why this experience was particularly disappointing.
