After a filling burger and fries at nearby Twin Span, my sweet tooth called, even as I walked back to my car. This was probably brought on by the presence of Cookies & Dreams, which was right there on the short walk from the restaurant entrance to my vehicle. At any rate, the choice was a pretty clear one to make - I was going to satiate my desire for sweets at this place.
The interior is much the same as many of the other places along Competition Drive around the TBK Bank Sports Complex - there's no drop ceiling, leaving white wood supports, HVAC ductwork and conduits exposed. There's a few lights around the counter on fixtures dropped from the ceiling, giving the space some soft lighting throughout. Not much seating throughout the store, but I wouldn't expect to get cookies and stick around to eat them. In total, the space looks pretty great.
I opted for a single sugar cookie with frosting and sprinkles. The cookie shop attendant helped me select the cookie and purchase it quickly. All in all, I had my cookie and was eating it on my drive home within 2-3 minutes.
I gotta say - it was a pretty good cookie. The cookie itself was moist on the interior, the frosting and sprinkles weren't excessive, and, for a cookie, it wasn't overly sweet. On another occasion, I could see getting a cookie for myself and some compatriots and consuming them at a nearby coffee shop, like Coffee Hound. Thanks for the great cookie,...
Read moreCookies & Dreams was such a fun stop for us! The girl working there was incredibly kind and welcoming. As soon as we walked in, she asked if it was our first visit. When I told her it was, she gave me a full rundown of all the cookies. I love when staff take the time to do that—it makes the experience feel so much more personal.
When I was torn between a couple of options, she recommended her favorites, which is hands down my favorite way to choose—let the person who knows the cookies best guide you! I ended up with quite the lineup: Frosted Sugar, Egg Chocolate Chip, Classic Chocolate Chip, Monster, Millionaire, and Snickerdoodle Cheesecake. Every single cookie was soft, massive, and absolutely delicious.
Cookies & Dreams absolutely nailed it. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good...
Read moreI was craving dessert and I was so glad that this place was just across the street from the hotel we were staying. The place is cute and just what a cookie-lover wants to see. So many yummy cookies and other rich looking dessert choices to admire and pick from. We chose the chocolate chip and apple cinnamon cookies. They are huge! The two of us shared one that evening and the other the next morning. They both were amazingly delicious with the texture you normally only get in homemade cookies. Popped each one in the microwave for just a few seconds so they were just like freshly baked. My only regrets are that we had to leave before they opened in the morning, so we could get a few more and that we don't have one anywhere near us here in IN. If you are in the area and love cookies, don't...
