| - I can't tell you how many times I've driven past Urban Cookies and thought to myself I should stop in one day. That day was finally today.
I loved the cute tables and chairs outside and was impressed by the simple, clean decor inside. The chalkboard behind the counter had a cute Cooke Monster drawn on it along with other information about pricing and selection. The guy at the counter was super friendly and offered up his favorite cookie and cupcake flavors when I asked. I immediately selected a cherry cookie and a lemon cupcake. Once he rang them up, I selected another cookie to meet the $5 minimum credit/debit purchase - the pineapple coconut cookie. He boxed up my treats in a very cute brown box with pink on the inside. Off I went with my goodies, anxious to try them once back at the office.
I tried the cherry cookie first. It was good - a bit crumbly, a bit chewy, and a bit crunchy... all of which are great. There was a bit of coarse cugar sprinkled on top, which I thought was a nice touch. Unfortunately, I didn't taste any cherry. Wasn't it a cherry cookie? Sure enough, there were some dark red bits but they didn't have much flavor. It was just a tasty, sweet cookie. The pineapple coconut cookie, on the other hand, was really good. I could taste both flavors and they mixed together very well. I could even pick out the texture of each fruit. Nice touch. I have yet to sample the lemon cupcake. I did taste a bit of the frosting and found it to be VERY sweet. I'll have to wait a little while until I can handle more sugar.
I rated Urban Cookies three stars on the merits of the friendly staff and being a local business. I'd like to return another time if I feel like splurging on a cookie, but I definitely won't be a regular patron unless their prices drop a little.
