This was a stop to satisfy a late night sweet tooth craving. I got two cookies to go, the chocolate chip and the m&m one. The chocolate chip one was quickly devoured on the car ride back to where we were staying. It was perfection. The dense cookie with the warm, gooey chocolate chips was the perfect thing to settle my sweet tooth. The second cookie ended up being eaten a day later on the flight home. I think it is a sugar cookie base with the m&m's on top. The cookie itself needed a bit more flavor because it was a bit bland and a bit dry. I also thought it could use some more of the m&m's. Overall, I'd chose the chocolate chip one as my favorite and this would be my go-to if I were a local looking to satisfy my constant need for sweets. I'd skip that m&m one though. read more

A must visit for cookie lovers!!! These half pound cookies are the size of a small frisbee and are perfect in taste and texture. What I particularly love is that the cookie itself is not sickeningly sweet, and when paired with the chocolate chips and pecans-macadamias, you have quite the sublime cookie: crunchy on the outside with a great chewy center. We tried the chocolate chip, chocolate chip with pecan/macadamia, oatmeal raisin and peanut butter. Sadly, I never even got a nibble of the peanut butter because someone evidently has a sharing and self control problem. I was a complete skeptic when my son saw these cookies in the window and begged to have one of these monster caloric treats....but they are the real deal. I wish I had one right now! read more

Mattheessen's - Definitely the best key lime pie in Key West. Super nice owner of 25 years! Fudge cookies ice cream. Yummy :) 419 Duval St - Desserts Near Me - Key West, Florida

OMG. Literally the best key lime pie I've ever had. It probably that I came here on pi day. They were giving out free samples of their fudge too--which I thought was delicious. It's a little more softer of a texture than most fudges I've had. They also had huge cookies. I didn't get any, but they looked pretty good--some looked a little dry. Loved the aroma of the chocolate when I walked in. read more

Love the ice cream. The kids would agree that is was GOOD! They liked it so much they went there on their own. They especially liked the super huge cookies. The offerings are consistent from both locations. read more

You are going to smell this place before you see it, the aroma of fresh baked cookies fills the air well around the shop. Then you see the cookies, jaw droppingly big. Big enough to stuff two adults with one cookie. Very hard to walk buy without getting one. read more

Key Lime pie is legit. Single slices or full pies available. Cookies also amazing and one is shareable with 4 people.

Amazing store owners. Went out of way to verify phone was left in store and even went to post office to mail back to Pennsylvania. It's amazing kindness to the store owners that took time out of their day to assist a customer. Best store in key west!!! read more

These cookies were amazing. Melt in your mouth deliciousness. It was right across from the hotel so we ended up going there two nights in a row because it was that good!! read more

Okay, so who wouldn't stop when they see an enormous cookie in the window. I don't like chocolate chip cookies unless I make them or my cousin makes them. That was okay because they have many, many other flavors to choose from. If you have a favorite cookie, they most likely have it unless its some old family recipe from the old world. The cookies and brownies are HUGE! They are also very yummy. read more

Cookies so big they look like the belong in a cartoon, delicious frozen, chocolate covered key lime pie big enough to share and fudge sample galore! Their ice cream is made fresh locally and the selection varies from location to location. Great place to take the kids or as an afternoon treat. And since it's a local chain make sure to check it rather than go someplace you have back at home. read more

We had a key lime pie and it was good. A bit on the sweeter side but ok. They have huge cookies and a good selection of gelatos. There are also so many varieties of huge fudge chunks. Better to get ice cream here than some of the surrounding shops read more

There are a couple of these spots on Duval alone. You can catch the aroma of fresh baked cookies from hundreds of feet away. If you are a sweets lover, and I admittingly am, it's tough to just walk by this place as if it was a funeral home. First off them temp you with free samples of their fudge. Secondly their cookies n cream icecream is by far the best I have ever had. Seriously it is. Very creamy and not fake tasting as a lot of places. Finally, their cookies which are about the size of football. You don't believe me, go and prove me wrong. The delectable chocolate chip would turn the average health nut into a diabetic. Freshly made with the oh so gooey center. Definitely go to this one just to experience the main dude. What a character. You will know who/what I mean when you enter. Well worth the $6 cookie...yeah I said it...well worth it. read more

Omg who doesn't love monster size just out of the oven chocolate chip cookies. The cookie just came out if the oven when walked by! Huge jumbo chocolate chip cookies and the chocolate was still melted when I bit into it 30 mins later $4.50. They also have fudge and ice cream. I may try the fudge if I walk by again read more

Loved the oatmeal raisin, so fresh I had to go back two times on my visit. I sampled the chocolate fudge and thought it was too rich for my liking. The oatmeal raisin had the right amount of sugar- not too much, not too little. Tried the coconut macaroon dipped in chocolate and it was good as well. read more

I walked in this dessert place on a Monday night seeing the big "Cookies, Fudge and Ice Cream" board. Got a waffle cone with shreded cocunut for $4.5. Quite good -- creamy, rich, sweet and lit up my mood after a tedious drive. Did not try their cookies or fudges but those def looked good. The cookies were huge and lying in the tray, smelled super fresh and super sweet. Did not know the calorie facts of the yummy ice cream but who cares. Now I started to miss the ice cream factory in Chinatown@nyc. read more

Getting one of their giant chocolate chip cookies is always on the to do list when we come to KW. They are excellent. We also pack a couple to bring back home. read more

Cookie the size of your face. Nothing but 5 stars. I am in love with these fresh cookies. I can't speak more highly about them.

Can't wait to get back to this place. If your in the mood for something sweet, look no further. Ice cream, cookies, hand made fudge and shakes are available in tons of varieties. This place is so great I can't believe it isn't a national franchise yet. Enjoy! read more

I have come to the keys from Miami so many times, all I'm asking myself is why have I never been here before?!?! Such amazing baked goodies. The little coconut puff things are amazing!!!!!! The cookies are great but you must really eat the coconut thing they make, when you go, you will know! Sorry we didn't take any pics because it was devoured as soon as we got it! (Shareable) read more

Friendly. Great atmosphere. Cookies are huge but dry. Not moist style. Almost like a dry cake. Avoid Key lime pie. Fudge and ice cream looks great. read more

One of two locations in Key West! It's a cute shop with homemade ice cream, cookies, and fudge. Everything was delicious but overpriced. Two cups of a single scoop and two cookies does not add up to $28. I will say that the cookies are a decent size- we tried the chocolate chip with pecan and macadamia and one of the peanut butter with fudge topping. read more

So glad I made it here on my last night in Key West. Would have totally missed out otherwise. I know there are a bunch of places to eat desserts but this is a must-have. The cool attitude of the owner leaves you really feeling like your on a vacation. For instance, I just asked what type of fudge was being sold there, he takes out a huge chunk and makes me try it. The fudge was amazing. True to my fellow yelpers feeling of not being overly sweet and makes you want to have more than one bite. The cookies are gynormous for sure. I didn't taste the cookies or the macaroons, went straight for the ice cream. Tasted the black cherry and Cuban coffee ice cream and they were amazing. My preference is for the Cuban coffee flavor. Will definitely stop by again when I visit next. read more

Really great place to stop for dessert - cookies, fudge and delicious ice cream. And just saying "cookies," is the understatement of the year. The cookies are the diameter of cantaloupes; they're incredible. I grabbed a sugar cookie with rainbow sprinkles and a macaroon. Once again, not "just" a macaroon - a softball sized macaroon that comes dipped in chocolate or plain. I initially had my heart set on cake batter ice cream, but they are all about trying samples so I had a taste of the toasted coconut and never looked back. That in a waffle cone - there was no worries of this thing melting before I chance to finish it; it was too good! The other treats lasted the next few days and were equally pleasing to my sweet tooth. The sugar cookie was nice and chewy, as was the macaroon. That was almost too much for my taste, but still great. I look forward to getting back so I can get some cake batter! read more

Top notch ice cream made fresh and stellar cookies and fudge. Great local joint and charismatic staff

I rate this place a 4.5 but am rounding up. I got the key lime ice cream and a pecan brownie. The ice cream was very good. They make it there. The brownie was huge, it was nearly a quarter of the pan. That was good too. It's not too dense or fudgy. I didn't take pics of either. But there's nothing noteworthy to see, it's exactly as you would expect ice cream and a brownie to look. read more

Oh my goodness! I wanted fudge and the peanut butter fudge was wonderful. But even that couldn't compare to the chocolate chip cookie my fiance got. It was huge, packed with chocolate chips and to die for! We had to go back the next night and get another one, plus we wanted to try the peanut butter cookie too. Oh so good. This is one place in Key West not to be missed! read more

We immediately saw the giant cookies as we walked in, but we went for key lime pies. Got two slices to go, and OMG, they were so AMAZING. There are so many other places for key lime pie, but this place has by far the most silky and perfect pie ever. We saw the baker baking the pie up front, and we knew instantly that this place was genuine. read more

The cholate chip cookie is to DIE FOR! Huge, full of chips, chewy and moist. We ate ours hours later and it was still moist and chewy. Way better than grandma could make them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

This is probably the best dessert spot in key west. The cookies were excellent and the lemonade was perfect. But, the best part was the workers. There were two guys and both of them were very nice. The older one is very funny and lively. They let us use the restroom even though it was for employees. Highly recommended visiting this area. read more

Rude service. Animosity to kids (who eat ice cream). Cold, icy stares asking for ONE ice cream sample for multiple orders. One star!!

Amazing cookies and cream ice cream!! Amazing and fresh chocolate chip cookie!!! Welcoming and friendly guy that was helping us. read more

On Duval Street so everything is on street parking. Nice looking outside and very nice inside. Lots of samples can't beat a place that has ice cream,cookies and fudge. No bathrooms but it's really clean and you can watch them make the items read more

They've got HUGE ones! I waited alllll night to find a cookie shop that had fresh-out-the-oven cookies. Finally, my nose led me right into this shop. They'll charge you over $5 for their over-sized chocolate chip cookies -- but damn -- they're good. So, grab a friend (or two) and share a warm, fresh and yummy cookie. read more

What a great place for an evening snack....just don't think about the calories. We ordered a sundae that started off with a large 1/2 homemade peanut butter cookie. Warm that up and add 3 different types of homemade ice cream (I can't remember the flavors), hot fudge on top of that, whipped cream, nuts, and ... hey he forgot our cherry. This was more than enough for two of us. And to top it off, the man who made our sundae was cleaning equipment and singing 80's tunes along with the radio at the top of his lungs. Awesome treats and an awesome evening. read more
