There is simplicity in their standards: chocolate chip, snicker doodle, and biscotti cookies but then you have several choices in toppings. I opted for kit kits and chocolate sauce. I ordered a half a dozen to take back to my kids after a weekend get away. Sadly, they did not make it home! My only complaint is that this is the only location for now in Florida. They do offer shipping but I'm sure they taste so much better fresh. Chip please bring your caloric dense goodness to Tampa Bay!

We sampled the Quiche of the day, Quiche Lorraine and an almond croissant with a Pistachio Vanilla Latte. Both items hit the 5-star category! Croissant was flaky, crunchy and the best Quiche in Florida! The Banana Nut Bread, Sticky Buns, Cinnamon Roll, Tiramisu and cookies looked so amazing, you want to take a few home! We were early and were able to sit in one of inside tables. As we were tasting the latte, more than a dozen of patrons stop by for pickup orders. The ambiance is plain and simple. The lovely young lady behind the counter gave us exceptional service with a friendly smile! This is a cashless facility so make sure you have your credit card or e-wallet with you. This is a best place to go for pastry and coffee in Estero!

Croissant was buttery and flakey and the ham and cheese didn't overpower the delicate taste of the croissant. The cookie was rich and gooey and so good! We had to take most of it to go. We ate on pretty plates and cups and it was just lovely. The seating and dining set up was clean and inviting and just pretty! Love our little experience at the Pastry Boutique:) Will certainly visit again.

And I'm in the Hospitality field, a Director for Ritz-Carlton and once for Trump Hotels, so I'm a hard judge on service expectations and delivery. I emailed Cherie (in the evening) and my opening sentence was "I know I'm throwing a Hail Mary, but I'm hoping you can help me." I needed a dozen of gourmet cupcakes delivered to my new sister-in-law for her birthday (while on their honeymoon), packaged up with some birthday decor and a birthday card/note. If possible. Oh! And with 12 hours notice. Any sane person would have deleted my email (which I'm sure is what the other TWO companies that I reached out to did.....still haven't heard from them). Cherie responded within 25 minutes and worked with me for the next 90 minutes to get this worked out for me. There aren't enough thank you to express my gratitude, especially when my sister-in-law texted me the best replies ever: "I wish you could taste how AMAZING these cupcakes are!" And "I love this lady, I'm going to tell my grandma to use her" Cherie, thank you! Thank you so much! You are one hell of an owner, we need more people like you running small businesses!!

It is a small place but they have inside tables and outside tables where you can enjoy the sweet treats from Italian cookies, pastries, gelatos and panini. In the afternoon, my favorites are Canoli or Tiramisu with Latte. Our night time favorite is gelato. Tonight, I wanted an affogato with pistachio and hazelnut ice cream.

Not sure if that's how it always smells. Very glad it was clean but it was a very strong chemical smell. I was expecting to smell fresh baked cookies but it was cleaning solution smell. The s'mores flavor was my favorite it was soft in the middle and edges were crispy. However try to eat the cookies fresh because the cookies become hard and stale the next day. They are giant cookies and fun flavors. Hope to give them another try.

I…read morewalked in to pick a four cookies pack for afternoon coffee break off Ben Hill Griffin Pkwy near Miromar Outlet in Estero. On every Friday, they rotated their cookies menu with new selections. They don't have Crookie this week. I selected Horchata Churro, Dubai Chocolate, Blueberry Sour cream and Cookie and Cream Kit Kat. The staff is friendly and explained their setup as I inquired about another Craves Cookies in Naples. They make their cookies fresh daily here! As you can see from one of pictures, staff is preparing their M & M cookies! We sampled the Dubai Chocolate and Blueberry Sour Cream. The Dubai Chocolate is very nice chocolate dough filled with Kunafa pistachio filling with milk and white chocolate drizzle. What, Kunafa or Knafeh, is a Palestinian dessert with crispy pastry and sweet cheese! This sounds like creativity is in progress in Craves. My wife commented, "A little on the sweet side" while I quickly replied, "I love that Dubai Chocolate, Wow". The Blueberry Sour Cream with a graham cracker crust, whipped cream and blueberry sour cream spread is very light. "Sweetheart, Blueberry Sour Cream is very light and delectable! There are two outside tables where you can sit and enjoy your treat! Needless to say, we are fan of Craves! Next time, we might get lucky and get the Crookie!

After many years of…read moreself-control, I broke down and walked in a Kilwin's at the Gulf Coast Town Center for some ice cream. I ordered my favorite double scoops of pistachio on a cup and wife ordered a Cappuccino and chocolate chip on a cone. Let me tell you, both ice creams are made with creamy consistency and delicious texture. You can tell you care bite into the pistachio nut or chocolate chips. The Granny Smith apples that covered with chocolate, caramel and others sweets are so appealing. Meanwhile, the Turtle fudges are shining through the display case and caramel pop corns are daring you to pick them up! There are indoor and outdoor tables available to enjoy your treats. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is a solid Kilwin's store right across from Game Times! Oh, well. Ice cream today, salad tomorrow!

Super glad I took her advice with blending flavors! She also was kind and offered me a chocolate after I made my purchase. I wish I caught her name because she was awesome.
