I've been following Suarez Bakery on instagram for over a year and have wanted to visit since I "loved" my first cookie photo. I live on the north side of Charlotte and work uptown, so I never really venture to Park Road shopping center. Today I made my way down there and was so excited to try some cookies from this delightful scratch bakery, but I was a bit disappointed by them. The cookies were beautiful and the icing was tasty, but the cookies themselves were hard as rocks and very bland. If I'm paying $4.25 for a cookie, that cookie better change my life. I'm giving 4 stars because I only tried the cookies, and everything else in the case looked spectacular. I assume their cakes and pastries make up for the mediocre cookies. Also, the service was friendly and inviting.
