    Some of the best, and I mean BEST, baked goods that I have ever consumed. I don’t eat a lot of cookies but when I do, I plan to order from Penny and Pearl’s.I tried a wide variety of their current selections and I found them to be more flavorful, fresh and festive than Insomnia or Crumbl. The staff was kind and ready to explain their specials and prices to me. Service with a smile was in full swing and I can’t wait to go back for seconds.Give this place your money and you won’t be disappointed. So far, my favorites are their Crème Brûlées and the Chocolate Chip with Sea Salt cookies.

    This place is amazing, not only is it very reasonably priced but they do amazing work. I had a SpongeBob themed birthday party and wanted a cookie cake decorated to look like pizza, so it could be the "Krust Krab Pizza". And when I tell you they went above and beyond!!! It was amazing, everyone loved and was complimenting on how nice it looked. It also tasted amazing the chocolate chip was delicious. I would absolutely recommend Penny and Pearl for your next function, they are so amazing.

    I ordered 2 dozen cookies. My order was not completely correct. However, totally fine and not a big deal since I still received a full 2 dozen cookies. I would recommend others to check their order before leaving, if receiving the correct items are important.The taste of the cookies: the edges of almost every cookie was cooked well done however, the middle was dough-y (when we broke the cookies apart of it looked like uncooked cookie dough). The creme brulee cookies had the most cooked middle but the cookie has a sweet burnt taste to it.I would rate my experience a 6 out of 10.
