If you are watching your sugar, turn back now. Only the strong may enter. Confectionary best describes this cute little shop. I tried several different ice creams, cookies, and cupcakes (not all in one sitting).
The 1st cookie sandwich had a double chocolate cookie, a s'mores cookies, with chocolate ice cream in the center. Together, it was a lot and I mean a lot of sweetness all at once. Ideally, I think the ice cream, though good on its own, took away from the flavor of the cookies. Best to enjoy them separately.
The 2nd cookie sandwich had a red velvet cookie, a salted caramel cookie with golden dough ice cream (tastes like cake batter with chocolate chips). Again, it's sugar on sugar on sugar. I knew it would be sweet but exceeded my expectations. A note for the salted caramel cookie, it was too salty.i know I know, I'm never happy. Too sweet and now too salty.
Suggestion for patrons - Have milk with the salted caramel cookie. Bet that would balance the salt with the sweet.
Now for the cupcakes... The Piña Colada cupcake had both coconut and pineapple flavors. Believe there were some coconut slices and pineapple pieces in the cake. I know the frosting was rum flavored, but it was just sweet IMHO.
The vanilla cupcake. Vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. It was good but wasn't different from other vanilla cupcakes out there. I think what could elevate this cupcake to differentiate it above others is to use a bourbon based vanilla extract (instead of the vodka based versions) to add depth of flavor. Also, use a vanilla bean buttercream frosting. More expensive to accomplish, the pops of flavor the vanilla bean brings makes a world of a difference.
Overall, definetly will visit again. Though this time, I'll eat ice cream on a cone while there, get a few cookies and cupcakes to go, then...
Read moreOrdered a dozen specialty cupcakes and mixed those up with a dozen Wegman cupcakes to lighten the birthday costs. The cupcakes looked nice, albeit, abit light on the frosting. The cupcakes, themselves, were very dense and too wet/chewy. Everyone preferred the wegmans cupcakes taste. The company was easy enough to work with and completed the order, I didn’t get a price quote when placing the order because the manager wasn’t in. I was told they would call to let me know the price but did not get that call. I tried calling 2 days before the party to confirm they were going to do the order and get the price quote but there was no answer—I did leave a VM with my number to call back but never got a return call. Was abit worried the order was never done with lack of communication, but they were ready to go when we went to pick up and looked nice. The price I paid was more than what was listed on...
Read moreI just went to this cookie shop and I have to say I’m not impressed. I was waiting for my boyfriend to be done with his haircut in the same plaza and got hungry so I went in. Their filled cookies were almost $4 and I got two which were both pretty hard and sandy. They tasted like they were stale and I tried both thinking that maybe one was just old. After realizing they were both that bad I remembered seeing lots of dog treats in there so I thought maybe I was eating something I shouldn’t be but when I looked it up I found that these cookies really are for humans. Although my experience was pretty bad I realize I went pretty early in the morning and they were maybe still making the cookies for the day. The service was really good though so I’ll...
