Cookie Spin — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Very creative! Overwhelming number of cookies, ice cream flavors, sauces, and toppings! (Order a cookie sundae at your own risk!) Luckily they let you sample the ice cream. It took us 5-10 minutes to decide.

My wife, our friend, and I each got the “large” sundaes, which was a mistake since we had filling dinners beforehand. (The cookie size is very deceiving when you look at them behind the glass.) It was an enormous amount of dessert, which did not sit particularly well after finishing it - which 2/3 of us did. The small sundae would have been the right size.

The ice cream itself was excellent, sourced from Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream. However, the ice cream and sauces mostly obscured the flavor of the cookies. Their consistency is also a bit more like a cupcake in the middle, but it’s hard to say since we did not eat the cookies on their own.

Next time, we’ll get the two separately so we can enjoy the ice cream and try the cookies individually. We’ll probably go with the flight of cookies (four small ones plus an ice cream scoop) to sample more flavors. As of now, Cookie Spin seems comparable to Insomnia Cookies, with better ice cream flavors, worse cookies, larger portions, and comparably high costs.

UPDATE: After trying the cookies on their own, they aren’t anything particularly special. While the flavors are original, the consistency is off, with hard outsides and too fluffy centers. Of the cookies we tried on their own, the ultimate peanut butter was boring, the cookie inception and nutella were decent, and the Oreo salted caramel brownie was good. None were as dense or flavorful as we felt a cookie should be. Go to Insomnia!

After sledding, we were craving hot chocolate--and ice cream. Don't judge us, we had a hot and cold craving! Her father didn't share the same concept, so while he was waiting for his pizza (Lou Malnati's is across the street), I ordered a warm cookie sundae for my daughter, and I ordered the cookie flight because I couldn't decide on just one cookie, which came along with an ice cream scoop. And of course, 2 hot chocolates!

We were the customers there so far, so my daughter had a lot of time to survey the place and took her time to decide what type of cookies and ice cream.

Employee was helpful with introducing us the menu and what cookie (cookie inception: cookie overload) may pair best with the cookie dough ice cream my daughter ordered.

Cookie Flight, $9.50: Carmel oreo, Smores, blue raz, and lemon poppyseed were the cookies. The brand of ice cream this dessert shop sells is the Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream and I choseMunchies madness ice cream, a "sweet cake batter ice cream swirled with a salted caramel ripple and brimming with Oreos, M&M pieces and peanut butter cups".

Desserts were obviously sweet and pretty looking. We ended up not finishing our ice cream and cookies so we had to go box.

Meter parking and some free parking in...

The cookie was pretty good, but the customer service was awful.

There is no sign to indicate that eating your cookie in the restaurant is currently prohibited. There are inviting counters by that window that look open for dining, and the first server who took our order even offered to heat the cookie and provide us utensils so we could eat it "immediately", which I took to mean in the restaurant.

As soon as our cookie was delivered, we moved to the window and started eating. The second server, without looking up from her computer, snarled loudly at us from across the room, "You can't eat in here!". I turned around because I wasn't sure if she was talking to me, and she snarled more loudly, "I said you can't eat in here."

I treat my dog with more courtesy than she treated me. I'm fully supportive of not allowing customers to dine in, but I do believe that you need to put up a sign. Even absent a sign, she could have courteously asked us to move outside, and we would have gladly obliged. I guess whatever she was looking at on her computer was more important than treating her customers politely.

Eating a cookie on a Saturday night should be a treat. Part of what makes it a treat is pleasant service. I won't return...
