Amazing cookies! Just tried their cookie shake for first time and that was awesome as well. Their gluten free chocolate chip cookies, provide a Celiac safe option that we have not been able to find anyway else in the area.

I’m so happy we finally have a cookie place that is open late in the area! They also have ice cream if you want to have an ice cream sandwich with the cookies. Their Deluxe Apple pie cookie is amazing. The staff is friendly. They have a fairly large area for seating compared to most other cookie places I’ve been to.

Six bucks for two scoops of ice cream. Small scoops. Ice cream that I feel like I could’ve gotten from the store. Probably better next time to just go to the grocery store and get a tub.We got a deluxe cookie as well, but it was not something exceptional. I have had better cookies at CrumblThey have a promotion to get a free cookie with a purchase after you like their social pages. When I saw this and ask if I can get a free cookie since I just made a purchase, she said that she needed to add it to a purchase. She could not just give me a cookie since I just made a purchase.Also, louder than background music Linkin Park (or something similar) is great for a skate shop - not as great for a family cookie shop
