| - Don't let the name fool you, Urban Cookies offers way more than cookies. They also serve, donuts, muffins, cupcakes, scones, and breads. And for those looking for gluten free/vegan options, they have a ton of these too!
I found out about Urban Cookies after a friend shipped me a box while I was in the hospital. For anyone who's had a lengthy stay in a hospital, you know almost daily you get treats. Urban Cookies was by far one of the favorite treats I received and one of the few the nurses agreed to take off my hands as I couldn't finish the whole box even if I had tried. When I left the hospital I was excited to find out that Urban Cookies was located just a few minutes away from my house! Score!!
When I finally had the chance to visit their bakeshop, I was shocked to see they had scones, breads, and cupcakes! The scones are definitely my favorite of all their baked goods. The lemon scones are perfect for a spring brunch. They are soft and crumbly and probably the best scones I have ever had. They have a wide assortment of cupcakes. My favorites have been the brown velvet, smores, and Irish cream.They rotate out their baked goods selection depending on the season so check their online menu before heading over.
On my most recent I saw they were selling gluten free/vegan donuts. They were very good but a little more cake like than what I'm used to for donuts. They're not my favorite donuts in Phoenix, but definitely very good. Those looking for gluten free and vegan options will not be disappointed.
And lastly, they sell the most delicious pies on Thanksgiving. For the past two years I've ordered their pies for Thanksgiving Dinner and have been very pleased. Their Pecan and Pumpkin have gotten a lot of compliments from our guests and they're homemade whipped topping is just perfect! I love that Urban Cookies uses lots of locally sourced ingredients which makes me feel less guilty about the extra calories I'm consuming.
