We got a puppy chow cookie, a cinnamon roll cookie, and a salted toffee crunch cookie. The cinnamon roll cookie and puppy chow cookie were fantastic, but the salted toffee cookie was very me and something that you would get at someone's house that they made, not that gourmet bakery taste. It definitely tasted good, but other flavors would be more worth it. The employees were very nice. I noticed that they had a really cool option where you could take home raw cookie dough, or you could make cookie sundaes.

I had an appointment in Coralville and decided to stop in Nothing Bundt Cakes. I needed to see and…read moretaste what everyone talks about! Adorable store. Inviting. Clean. It was very overwhelming for me because I had never visited before. I entered the store, and a customer was waiting, presumably for an order, while a nice young woman worked behind the counter. She greeted me, but didn't ask if I had ever been there before, if I was looking for something in particular, or if I had any questions, for example, what's the difference between a Bundlet and a Bundtini? Educating your customers; this is a missed opportunity. I don't think you should assume your customers have been there before and know what they want. I did have a question about the Bundtlet towers (I think they're called) and whether the flavors of the tower could be mixed and matched. I ended up purchasing a few Bundlets a la carte style. All that aside, while the cakes and frosting were good (in terms of taste, freshness, size, and quality), they didn't knock my socks off. I'll probably reserve them for a special occasion. I spent about $18 on three Bundlets: red velvet, lemon, and chocolate chocolate chip. Convenient parking spaces outside the shop are marked for Nothing Bundt Cakes customers.

This location is convenient, just off the Coralville strip. Parking is a non issue and online ordering is offered. It's open Monday through Saturday. I ordered a few dozen bundtinis for a party. I was thrilled to see they had pumpkin, as a seasonal flavor. (Delish.) But was so saddened to see their monthly special (a caramel apple at that time) was not offered in the bundtini size. Pricing seemed a bit steep to me, but seems on par with other cupcake/cake/bakery spots-- so what do I know :) I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Was waited on instantly, but I did get to peruse their super small storefront which offers a few chairs but generally is just for party supplies available for purchase. (The candle selection is lit! Ha, get it?) Overall, it was available on time, made fresh, complete and the staff was pleasant! I'd recommend Nothing Bundt Cakes as its product is solid and turnaround time (I ordered less than 24 hours in advance) is super quick for the area.

My top picks: monster, peanut butter, pecan chocolate chip. I've never tried a cookie from C&M that I didn't like. They also offer mini cookies if you order in advance and bags of day olds. I think their business hours might coincide with the U.'s breaks, so maybe something to be aware of. Highly recommend!

I bought the dozen on a pinch to take to a friend's house for lunch. Mission accomplished because they really enjoyed the double chocolate cookies. I, however, thought both types were mediocre. They weren't served warm. They had a normal amount of chocolate chips. The cookie flavors were typical. Overall, I think the cookies are rather commonplace. Although the cookies were mediocre, I should give mention to the friendly employees who were pleasant and efficient.
