| - The cookies at Bang Bang are awesome.
Their ice creams are amazing and unlike anywhere else.
We now join ice cream and fresh cookies together in holy matrimony.
Yes, you can come in this tiny place just for a scoop or a cookie, but Bang Bang is really more of a desserts wedding chapel that produces one of the most impressive of what seems to be a growing food trend in the city (at least that's the impression derived from the now-defunct newsweekly The Grid [peace be upon them]): the ice cream cookie sandwich!
To initiate a date, simply choose your choice of ice cream, and then choose a cookie. They'll even offer pairing suggestions if you are at a loss because your brain is melting from all the choices, like key lime or Bellwoods stout (yes, the beer from nearby) with cookies like oatmeal, 'birthday', and 'almost everything'. It's $4.50 for a half sandwich (ie. a cookie cut in half and stuffed in between with a thick slab of ice cream), and $7 for a whole. Pricey, but complaining becomes difficult the moment you take a bite of your newly married delicious sandwich.
Just on the cookie itself, their oatmeal raisin is definitely one of the best I ever had. Delicate, soft and sweet. But there's other things here, like macarons. Yes, you can have a macaron ice cream sandwich too. How does that work out? I don't know, but would like to try sometime soon.
Bang bang, these cookies and 'cream shot me down.
{TTC: the Ossington school bus to Argyle St. It's right across the street from Oddseoul. Hey kids, can you find Oddseoul?}
