| - After hearing many great things about the infamous Freed's Bakery, my family and I finally made it a point to stop by after four years of living in the valley. It took us long enough, right?
We walked in and oh my gosh, it smells amazing in here! My eyes went straight to the case filled with cookies. There has to be over 20 different cookies offered, the variety seemed endless! But before I could go any further, I had to take a few steps back and pull a number. They do go by a number system here, so make sure you pull one right when you walk in because they tend to get busy! A clerk finally called our number and even though I really wanted one of everything, we opted for the 1/2 lb. of cookies for $8.23 which yields about 10-20 cookies depending on the weight (obviously). Freed's Bakery also offers a 1lb. box of cookies for $16.45 which yields about 20-40 cookies. The prices are extremely fair, considering that the cookies aren't your usual chocolate chip or Snickerdoodle. We're talking gourmet cookies, people!
I had to include the descriptions of the cookies because why not?
Almond Cake Cookie- A soft almond cake cookie topped with marzipan, dipped in chocolate, and topped with sugared almonds. I'm not a huge fan of marzipan, so I could've gone without this one. It was good, but not the best.
Almond Florentine- A thin almond sugar crisp dipped in chocolate. Very sweet and crunchy, not necessarily a cookie, still delicious!
Chocolate Fudge Thumbprint- A buttery chocolate walnut cookie filled with Freed's homemade fudge icing. The Chocolate Fudge Thumbprint had to be my least favorite of our selection. It wasn't chocolatey like I had imagined, but rather bitter, dry, and a bit bland. If you want something chocolatey, go for the Fudge Cake Cookie.
Crystal Butter Cookie- A delicate cookie with a rich buttery flavor, topped with crystal sugar. This cookie reminds me of the Danish cookies in the blue tin can that appear around Christmastime. You know, the blue tin can that your nana turns into a sewing kit when the cookies are all gone. A classic and easily a favorite amongst the crowd.
Fudge Cake Cookie- A soft chocolate cake cookie topped with Freed's homemade fudge icing and dipped in chocolate. Calling all chocolate lovers! You must get this cookie. It was definitely my favorite, hands down! Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate, where could you possibly go wrong?
Mint Chocolate Wafer- Mint buttercream sandwiched between two chocolate chip wafers drizzled with chocolate. I love anything that is mint and chocolate flavored, so this is a no brainer. The crunchy wafers paired nicely with the mint buttercream.
Nonpareil Butter Cookie- A delicate cookie with a rich buttery flavor, topped with nonpareils. Or in layman's terms, a cookie covered in rainbow sprinkles. What's not to love, people?
Russian Tea Cookie- A buttery vanilla walnut drop cookie hand coated in confectioner's sugar. Oh. My. God. These are melt-in-your-mouth good! Absolutely heavenly!
Sprinkle Butter Cookie- A delicate cookie with a rich buttery flavor, topped with colorful sprinkles. Exactly like the rainbow sprinkle cookie, but coated with sugar crystal sprinkles instead.
It's safe to say that Freed's Bakery satisfied my sweet tooth. Perhaps I'll be placing an online order for a special event in the future. Freed's Bakery is very well known for their cakes and I'm sure they're nothing short of amazing. The cakes on display are beautiful and you can tell that they are crafted with pride. Amazing work! I'll have to come back for a slice soon!
The staff is very friendly and the employee helping us was more than willing to let us use the Yelp check in offer. Thank you, Freed's!
