Where do I even start? Let me tell you right now, this was my first time with Crumbl and it was an…read moreEXPERIENCE. Of course, their reputation had proceeded them, I had heard all about the apparently magical cookies many times, but I had never taken the plunge. Now in hindsight, I am kicking myself repeatedly for not jumping in sooner.
It started from the moment that I opened the door to the establishment. My nostrils and everything that creates my smelling senses were immediately overwhelmed with the most pleasant, soothing, comforting, tantalizing symphony of scents to ever conduct its melody within the chambers of my nose. This perfect bakery smell (think the best bakery you have ever sniffed x1000) was like a physical force that pushes out of the door and locks you into a warm hug as soon as you open it, which I gladly accepted and returned.
The inside of the establishment is also very clean, the choice of color scheme (a lot of bright whites) made the place look very slick and inviting, with a hint of futurism. As my Macey and I stepped in, my feet felt weightless, like I was walking on clouds. It was as if I had stepped into a sweet (pun intended) spaceship which was about to take me on an interstellar journey for my tastebuds and introduce me to new worlds.
It was a Friday night and so the place was busy, but still quick and efficient in the way that they fulfilled orders. I had placed a mobile order on the app and it was ready when it said it was, with no additional wait needed on the inside of the store. Though I may even secretly regret this, as I could have spent more time enjoying the experience on the inside. However, little did I know, that as great as the smells were, the tastes would be that much more.
Once we got home with this sacred stash of deliciousness, the time soon came to complete my venture into the unknown. I was taking one small step for this man, but one giant leap for mankind. I took my first bite of the Churro cookie and BOY LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW. My world was flipped upside down, topsy turvy and all around! I was standing in my kitchen and had to lean on the stove in order to keep myself from falling over! I needed some help to carry on! I was FLOORED! Cookie so good it'll make ya wanna slap ya momma AND ya grandmomma!!! (Although rest assured that I would never ever, I love my momma so much and I love both my grandmommas so so much.) Cookie so good that I dang near had a religious experience! I closed my eyes as I took a second bite just to be fully present for this some-people-wait-a-lifetime-for-a-moment-like-this moment!
My beautiful wife nailed the flavor profile of the Churro cookie so accurately. It tastes EXACTLY like the old cinnamon raisin biscuits that Hardee's used to have. I say that as the greatest compliment, because those biscuits were the TRUTH and I tore them up in my childhood years. So here we had this cookie hitting with its spectacular flavor AS WELL AS a stunning wave of nostalgia. The cookie itself is perfect, soft and flaky, with a mathematically, totally precise ratio of cookie to the cream that sat on top. This cinnamon-y bite of delight almost took me out all by itself.
But the job was not done yet. I also had to try other flavors. I thought the Churro was all I would ever need in my life, but at the behest of Macey I tried the Blueberry Muffin cookie. Again, absolute perfection on the flavor profile. This cookie was extra crumbly and had the exact same texture as one would get in an actual muffin. Hidden amongst the feathery bites were lovely bursts of real blueberry offering a nice freshness feeling.
I was still note done, as there was one more flavor left that I would go on to try, the Key Lime Pie cookie. This seemed to have a similar base cookie as the Churro and when I talk about a flawless ratio of flavors, it was here again between the cookie, a key lime cream, and a dollop of whipped cream on top of it all. This was an amazing blend of tangy, tart, and sweet.
Earlier that evening we had partaken in a wonderful meal at Texas Roadhouse, where ya boy had went HARD, demolishing bread, 16 ounces of sirloin, shrimp, baked potato, etc. I thought I would never have to eat again in my life. So for a while, I thought I would have no room for the Crumbl Cookies we got. Little did I know that with these cookies' magnificence that my body would grow a second stomach in response just to be able to accept these cookies' decadence! No regrets here!
I am sharing the truth and will do so with everyone that I can, Crumbl Cookies ARE THE TRUTH! I was transported all Aladdin style to a WHOLE NEW WOOOOORLD! Nothing has ever satisfied my notorious sweet-tooth in such a way as this. I'm convinced that nothing ever will. I can not wait to order from you again and again - the only thing I worry about is my bank account. But hey, we will figure it out. Crumbl, you the ones.
