Tasty Treats, But Lacking the Warmth…read more. If you're in Marietta and craving a sweet treat, Ali's Cookies is definitely worth a stop. Their cookies are fresh, flavorful, and have a great texture--but there's one letdown: none of them are warm. For a place that specializes in cookies, you'd expect that fresh-out-of-the-oven warmth, but instead, they offer a microwave to heat them up yourself. While it's a decent option, it's just not the same as biting into a warm, gooey cookie straight from the oven. The selection isn't huge, but the cookies they do have are well-made and taste great--even after a quick microwave session. The flavors are rich, and the texture holds up surprisingly well. If they ever started serving them warm, this place would easily go from good to amazing. Overall, if you don't mind taking an extra step to heat up your cookie, Ali's Cookies delivers on taste. Just don't go in expecting that fresh-baked experience. - Good cookies, but I wish they served them warm!

This is long overdue. I've been getting cookies from Ali's for many years. They're always just…read moreright - the perfect flavor, texture, and size. Today I walked in and it just smelled like "holiday baking." I had to get a ginger snap! I also got m&m and my usual (smores) for the adults and 2 pieces of cookie cake for the littles. It was my first time getting gingersnap and I really wish I had gotten 2. I had to share it with my boyfriend because it was so good! My boyfriend agrees that it is perfection, so at least it wasn't wasted on him. I also love that this is a local, minority-owned (Jewish) business.

I have yet to sneak a bite of my kids' cookies, but I can vouch for the empanadas (beef option and apple option) and the spam musubi (suchi rice + marinated spam + wrapped with seaweed). We have not tried the shaved ice. Frozen empanadas are also available to take with you and eat at home! LOGISTICS The parking lot is tiny, but the traffic in the area is usually not too much trouble. We've visited twice, and each time we've been, they have their large TV playing, which is thoroughly distracting to my 4-year-old kids. We have easily been able to take our food home with us or go to a local park, but this is something that I have to keep in mind when I plan to visit - we aren't able to dine in because of the television. The staff has always been friendly, and I love supporting this small business. I love seeing the different foods from different places of the world together in one place, and I love having the authentic Peruvian empanadas so close by to home!

So this small little shop just happened to catch my attention. I want to lead with the ending and…read moresay yes it was great and yes I would definitely go back again ! I have no problem supporting a Black-owned business and this one actually made me want to come back. To park you can park in the back of the building because there's free street parking there or you can park in the parking structure that leads right up to the walkway where the spot is. If you don't see any parking in the front, just don't be disheartened . You come in and it's very bright and everybody is super nice and friendly. Customer service was top tier. They greeted me when I came in, had some conversation, just chopped it up, and I enjoyed that thoroughly as far as customer service goes . I can roll all the cookies I got up in one. I got the strawberry cookie, the M&M, and the chocolate chip. All of them are good. Every single one of them. I'm not even really a fan of strawberry like that when it comes to baked goods usually but this one was what it needed to be . The cookies weren't really super warm because they were in a display but they actually were still very tender and very soft. They didn't miss a step. This place is dope and I would definitely suggest going if you are feeling that sugar itch .

I wanted to share a really unique and delicious restaurant that I recently discovered. It…read morespecializes in Japanese "soufflé pancakes". I have recently returned from a trip to Japan and they're all the rage there. The soufflé pancake is a really light and airy "pancake". Each pancake is made to order and they have a wide variety of flavors. I've had the crème brûlée, blueberry cheese and their original with a selection of fruit. They were all delicious! Their eggs Benedict served on a croffle (waffle + croissant) is amazing! I do want to give a shout out to the owner/manager who is so kind and generous. He makes a point of checking on the customers to hear how their experience was. Today, my friend and I told him how much we enjoyed our Egg Benedicts, but we were a little sad because we didn't get a chance to order the soufflé pancakes. He replied very nicely, " Next time". A little while later our server brought us their House Specialty pancake, from the owner. So unexpected and very kind of him. I will definitely be going back. If you're in East Cobb, you should definitely treat yourself and go check out this little dining gem!

During our short weekend trip to Atlanta, we decided to explore some new places instead of sticking…read moreto our usual spots. We started the day a little late so we were looking for a brunch place. I came across Fluffy Fluffy on Yelp and since they serve Japanese-inspired pancakes, we decided to give it a try. It was Mother's Day so the restaurant was completely full when we arrived. We took a while deciding what to order and luckily a table opened up at just the right time. We ordered both a savory and a sweet dish, the Eggs Benedict with Salmon and the Mini Soufflé Pancakes. One thing to note. Their website mentions that the combo set is available all day but this particular location doesn't offer it. We really enjoyed the Eggs Benedict. You can choose either a croffle or sweet toast and we went with the sweet toast which was delicious. I also loved the dressing they used on the salad. (I was disappointed to later find out that they actually sell the dressing!) The soufflé pancakes, however, were a bit of a mixed experience for us. We chose the mini version so we could try four different flavors: blueberry cheese, tiramisu, matcha tiramisu, and strawberry cream. In the end, we were actually glad we ordered the minis instead of a full-size pancake with just one flavor. Out of the four, the blueberry cheese was our favorite. The tiramisu flavors didn't really taste much like tiramisu to us and the strawberry cream topping was fairly simple as well. The pancakes themselves were also a little drier than we expected. I also ordered a matcha latte but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It tasted a bit watery and didn't have a good matcha flavor. Overall, it ended up being a hit-or-miss experience for us but we still thought it was a fun and unique concept to try.

The cookie monster was a personal favorite with it being loaded with sprinkles. We dropped these off to some friends and they also really enjoyed them. Don't expect much on the inside of the store as there isn't a place to sit and eat, but the employees were super friendly. We dont live close by, but if we did this would be a staple as a weekend treat. Give them a try!
