Yummmy!!! I want one right now!

by Hov

I absolutely love this place. Cookies are good because it's always FRESH! this place is soooo busy that the oven just does not stop and you are ALWAYS getting new fresh, warm cookies. Regardless of the type you choose, it's so good, delicious and affordable! Totally recommend. Don't be afraid of the long lines, it's worth the wait!

Over-RATED is an understatment!!

by otphere

I can't believe how many "sheep" buy into this place. It's a cookie, a FAIR cookie, nothing extraordinary.

If people think this is a good cookie, they haven't had one. Mrs. Fields beats them hands down in my opinion. I've had just as good of a cookie at the grocery store.
