I stopped into this little cookie place while checking out a nearby café, and to my surprise it was really really good. They probably had every cookie that you could literally think of from oatmeal raisin to s'mores to chocolate chip cookie without the chips to toffee chocolate whatever. The best part about it was that the cookies were super super soft. They were so soft, you literally picked them up and they would fall apart in your hand. I did feel like there was somewhat of a language barrier with the staff member and I almost felt like I was kind of nudged into getting more cookies than I really needed. When I told her what I wanted, she kinda urge me to get more and unfortunately, instead of being able to say no, it was almost like she didn't understand what I was saying so we ended up having to get the larger portion. But overall, I was really glad with the purchase because they lasted for almost a week and they still tasted really fresh even on the last day. Some of the cookies were a little bit sweeter than others, but obviously depending on what you got in the cookies that kinda gave you a determination of how sweet it might be. read more

I am in this shopping center all the time I cannot believe I never noticed this place! The title speaks for itself. The "sweet spot" cuz that's exactly what it hits. I'm not sure if the young man behind the counter was the owner or not but he was very kind. The inside was cute and very intimate, but probably for groups no larger than 3-4 at a time. When you walk in, your eyes immediately go to the cookies. They are big and you can't help but be drawn to them. There were so many interesting options it took us awhile to choose. We ended up choosing the snickerdoodle, chocolate salted caramel, chocolate chip, toffee, and berries and cream. All with the exception of the chocolate salted caramel were our favorite. While I was there I noticed they offered vegan options, cookie cakes, and ice cream. The parking is very limited, so if you're not able to grab one within the lot, you can park at the garage near the politan row food hall. read more

Popped in after dropping my pup next door. I was immediately welcomed. I often go to Tiffs Treats but they do not have macadamia which is my favorite! The cookies are cooked thoroughly with the perfect level of sweetness. I find other places too sweet. This was perfect. There are tons of unique flavors to choose from. I also tried the fruit one and it was also delicious. Pop in and try some great cookies read more

I like how there is a microwave inside, my friend and I put our cookies in for about 15 seconds and it was perfect! I ended up getting a half dozen for my friends birthday. I love the variety of options that they have as well. read more

This is a cute store in a great location. They have a large selection of cookies. Some are common flavors. Others are really different. I tried the Georgia peach cookie and toffee crunch. The cookies just don't punch a lot of flavor and are dry. Both were soft, but dry. Cookies are $3 a piece, and look homemade. read more

I was craving something sweet and since I was in the area I came in to try a cookie. I opted for the Chocolate Pecan cookie. The cookie was room temperature but still really soft. The flavor was just ok. It tasted like it had stevia instead of sugar in it. It had a distinctive taste. I might've been open to trying a different flavor but unfortunately I got sick once I got home. I don't have food allergies so I'm not sure if it was an issue with the batch or an ingredient that i'm not aware disagrees with me. Needless to say I wont be back. The purchase experience was nice, however, these cookies aren't for me. read more

The cookies are great, but don't sleep on the cupcakes! I normally don't go for lemon flavored desserts but saw the cupcake and decided to give it a go... Wow. It was excellent! Perfectly moist with just the right amount of lemon flavor and frosting sweetness. To be honest, I liked it a lot more than their cookies. I regret not getting twelve. I've tried several different cookie flavors; Mexican hot chocolate, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and more. My favorite is the s'mores. The prices are reasonable especially for the size of the cookies. They also have heavily discounted day old cookies by the register. I've gotten a few of those and they taste just as good as the fresh ones IMO. Maybe a slight difference in consistency but not enough to ruin the taste. So, get a few cookies but don't forget the cupcakes! read more

Wow!! These cookies are amazing! I can't believe it took me so long to try them. We stopped into the store on Tuesday around 5:30. They have so many flavors to choose from and they eat look and sound amazing. We got 14 to go. We got a variety ranging from chocolate chip, blueberry cream, espresso, s'mores. The cookies truly were so fresh. They were perfect warmed up a bit when we got home. They also have half priced day old cookies that I'm sure are still amazing - will have to go back to snag some of those sometime! My favorites so far are probably the espresso and the blueberry! But I really don't think you can go wrong with any of them to be honest! Give these cookies a shot! They also would be great as gifts. read more

Unfortunately, not a fan. I ordered a dozen (about $45) + a slice of cookie cake. I should've known though, because the cookies looked a little hard. I asked her if they were made fresh daily and the lady said they were. So, I'm guessing this is just how they prefer their cookies - not as soft, and It just so happens that I'm more of a chewy cookie type of person. If you like a more crunchier cookie, you may like these. I will say they are rather large, so that's a plus. I just didn't think the flavors or the consistency did anything great for me. On top of that, the lady behind the counter just seemed so dry. My favorite, if I had to pick one, would've been the chocolate chip. It was the chewiest amongst all of them. read more

Super cute little cookie shop with tons of options and what used to be a milk bar (open during pre-covid times)! The store is located in a shopping center in Sandy Springs. There weren't that many spots in general for street parking, but there may be a garage or a larger parking lot somewhere close by. Going into the store, we were notified of a buy 6 get 1 free special. The cookies are generally $2 each, which is pretty standard for cookie shops in Atlanta. I decided to take on the deal with my two friends there and we each got a s'mores, then got spicy hot chocolate, white chocolate macadamia, oatmeal raisin, and caramel toffee. The cookies were HUGE and I think that the s'mores and hot chocolates were must haves! Giving the pricing and quality of the cookies, I'm excited to come back or use their online services to delivery cookies to friends! (Or to myself) read more

I checked out an apartment community here and was craving something sweet, I saw this place and checked reviews so I went in. It is a beautiful place and has a LARGE and I mean LARGE selection of cookies, more than 20 and flavors you don't even think of so as I was greeted I let the employee know I would need a minute because I was overwhelmed with the number of cookies they had, she stayed for a minute with an attitude then yanked her gloves off & went to the back room, I was going to walk out but my sweet tooth really wanted cookies and I was here. I grabbed 6 and tried them in my car, they are just okay a couple I had were slightly stale so that was disappointing, the others were good. read more

So I've heard a lot of hype about Ali's. Ever since my first raving experience at Insomnia Cookies, Yelpers have touted Ali's Cookies' praise to me, which piqued my interest enough for me to finally visit. Free cup of milk with check in! After selecting my cookies, I headed to the "milk bar" and chose my milk, which was served "fountain drink" style. It was nice and cold, which is always a plus with any cookie. Ali's Cookies had some pretty interesting flavors, which I was excited to try. I ended up getting four cookies for myself... I got the olde fashioned sprinkle sugar cookie, the snickerdoodle, the red velvet and the chocolate chip. Had to get the classics and mix it up with something a little different. The cookies overall were a bit dry for my taste. For some reason, they seemed perfectly buttery but dry at the same time. It made me wonder how long they had been sitting out uncovered when I arrived early that evening. My favorite was probably the sugar cookie, which I had eaten right away. It reminded me of the Publix sugar cookies with sprinkles, but not much better than theirs. The other cookies had good flavor, but I was pretty disappointed by the dryness. Maybe it was an off day - if the bored girl behind the counter was any indication. The cookies here must have been better before, as there are some rave reviews, although not many from recent days. Hopefully Ali's Cookies doesn't get complacent and will continue to serve their delicious cookies from the past! read more

We had a fun day shopping together, and had debated going to see my boyfriend's dad later. He had said if we were in Perimeter, we needed to check out these cookies. He said they were amazing. Disclosure, we were there at the end of the night, so maybe this had something to do with it. We both decided on the turtle cookie, but also got an oatmeal cookie and a peanut butter chocolate chip for his parents. I was less than enthused about the cookie. It was kind of dry, and the flavor was just okay. My boyfriend liked his, but I know it wasn't his favorite either. I really wanted to like them, because his dad had raved about them, but I just wasn't impressed at all. I honestly feel like the Nestle pre-bakes are better than this. My boyfriend loves cookie cakes, but I'd never consider getting one from here after this experience. Again, maybe because it was end-of-day, but even so, I still feel the cookies should taste fresher and not be dry and crumbly. I even tried the pb one, and felt the same way as the turtle. Bummer. read more

Had to have a chocolate chip cookie and ventured in for such at Ali's Cookies. Let me say that I was NOT disappointed. We bought chocolate chip, M&M chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip, s'mores, chocolate salted caramel and sugar. They are perfect! Crunchy but not crumbly, flavorful and perfect in every way. I will be back, at this point I'd have to say that the M&M chocolate chip is my favorite. Noticed the day olds on a shelf as we were leaving so bought a couple of bags of those as well. read more

Cookies are delicious! They have so many options it was hard to choose! I got the 7 pack and tried every single one, they were all great! Great texture, not too dry, would've liked it a little softer, but maybe I have to buy them earlier in the day. They were out of cakes in a jar, but I will definitely try this out next time. They even sell frosting on the side! The employees working did not know about the Yelp check in offer and was clueless as to how to redeem it. (I gladly showed them). I will definitely be back to try out more. read more

I came here on a Sunday, there was only one other set of customers in the store. I was greeted when I walked in. It's clean, they have half off day old cookies for sale was well. They didn't have signs posted about how much an individual cookie would cost but they had so many to choose from I went with half a dozen. I selected double chocolate- chocolate chip, chocolate chip, triple chocolate chip, sugar, red velvet, sugar m&m & chocolate chip m&m -yes they let me get 7 *kanye shrug* As for the taste the sugar was pretty standard like a grocery store sugar. Personally I like Whole Foods or tiff treats sugar cookies better Red velvet was pretty tasty had white choc chips in it, it probably would've been better warmed up. All the other flavors were regular, the cookies weren't that soft & they get harder after a day. Not sure what the hype of the place is about but they do have a wide range of flavors to choose from. Would I return, eh probably not anytime soon as there are other cookie spots that have my heart but I say try this place at least once to determine your own vote. read more

This place was closed for a long time and when it opened, decided to visit this place. This is small cute place where decor agrees with the product they sell. The place has a variety of cookies ranging from classic chocolate to peanut butter to a new flavor like chili chocolate. If you are lucky you might get some cookies to taste. It sells 2$ for a cookie but if you buy 6 or a dozen you can score a pretty decent deal. I wanted to buy 2 cookies but it was hell of a decision to select from the choices given. I went with classic chocolate chip and German chili ( I guess that was the name). Both were absolutely delicious. Soft n goey from inside and crusty from the edges. Seriously one of the best the I have had in Atlanta. Did I also tell you, fresh baking smell fills the entire bakery. They also sell cookie ice cream sandwiches. A must visit place. read more

Jordan recommended Lush Cakery to my fiancee and me (our planner does not accept kickbacks, but instead passes on any discounts she may get on to us) and that is enough praise for me. My fiancee, through her own research, noticed that Lush Cakery has had a hand in a lot of nice weddings in Atlanta. She absolutely loves the look of Lush's cakes (she describes them as beautiful, fun, and creative). I asked Kat how many weddings she did last year and she told me, if I recall correctly, 185 (all by herself!). She doesn't plan on doing that many per year going forward, but she definitely has the experience and is well known in the Atlanta wedding community. Kat moved into a cute space just off Marietta Square a couple years ago. There's a retail space, open four days a week, and a tasting room, available by appointment only. The shop can also be booked for small events like bridal and baby showers. Kat was waiting for us promptly at our appointment time. My fiancee and I were accompanied by our planner for the tasting. The tasting room was quaint and charming. It reminded my fiancee of an attractive sitting room, like something you would see on HGTV. We got to know Kat and she got to know us. She let us swipe through cake designs on her iPad while talking to us about our wedding, our tastes/visions for our cake, and how our cake would align with our wedding overall. For example, we talked about the season of our wedding, whether it's going to be indoor or outdoor, etc. These kinds of things can affect the ingredients and flavors of our wedding cake. There was a menu at the table with Lush's most popular wedding cake flavors. We tasted the following six flavors: * Salted caramel * Amaretto white chocolate red raspberry * Triple chocolate hazelnut * Grand Marnier strawberries and cream * Cinnamon * Cream cheese pound with lemon curd Kat had the first five flavors in the list above ready to go on a plate for each of us. The last one was requested by my fiancee who was interested in trying the lemon curd after seeing it on the menu. My eyes lit up as I bit into these cakes. What impressed me most about them was actually not their flavor, but their consistency. Every single slice was perfectly fluffy and moist. They were tender and delicate with good crumb. Flavor-wise, they were sweet, but not too sweet. My favorite flavors were the salted caramel and the strawberries and cream. My fiancee's favorite flavors were the amaretto white chocolate red raspberry and the triple chocolate hazelnut. My fiancee thought both the strawberry and cinnamon tasted delicious, but were a little too simple for her tastes. The cream cheese pound cake with lemon curd was outstanding, but we agreed that we liked the lighter, less dense textures of the other cakes for our wedding cake. Everything we tried tasted great, so what it really came down to here was personal preference. We want a classic, elegant looking cake so Kat suggested a traditional three-tier round cake. We'll have it decorated with flowers from our florist, Julie Coffin of Unique Floral Expressions, who is one of the rock stars of the Atlanta wedding industry and whom Kat has worked many weddings with. We chose our cake and icing flavors, along with a fun design extra, and were quoted under $700 for our cake (tax and delivery included). The cake will serve 100. We'll have more than 100 guests, but there will be other dessert options too. Kat's quote is about $200 higher than another quote we recently received, so Lush is on the higher side. However, the other quote did not include an extra design element and the Lush quote also includes a "complimentary" anniversary tier a year after our wedding. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a date. We received Kat's proposal via email quickly after our meeting. My fiancee had a question and it didn't take long for Kat to respond. All in all, this was a wonderful experience. Now we just have to make a decision! Throughout our wedding planning process so far, this has turned out to be the most difficult decision yet.

But depending on what kind of day it is and because there's so much stuff around, still could be crowded. It's a very small shot but it looked like they had a lot of options. The cookies were good and the same great fresh for the most part. They even had a section where you could get cookies from a previous day before it just kind of price from what it looked like. Honestly I got a bunch of cookies. Couple chocolate chip, turtle, s'more, a bunch of. Everything I had was good. I actually share some of my co-workers and they liked them. It's a small shop, similar to like an ice cream shop. But instead of freezers full of ice cream you have rolls of cookies. A few areas to sit as well. But don't try to go there with a large group. What I thought was good. Would they also have some ice cream selections for you so you can make ice cream sandwiches. That's a plus! Overall, I didn't have a bad experience. It was pretty good so far. The lady at the front was very nice and she explained it. They actually had a special going well so I took advantage of that. I don't have any complaints, after they get a couple of things built out together. Going to be a pretty good cookie spot. I hope they stay around.

Whew! I'm so glad I trusted my foodie lover instincts. Furthermore, to know that this slice was homemade made it even better. Whoever Ms. Victoria is; she is a genius. Her mathematical equation of pistachio to cheesecake ratio was spot on. She understood the importance of sweet and salty as it relates to the diversified options of cheesecake pairing.

It even has managed to impress friends who don't adventure too far outside of their own American culinary tastes. The sweets here are the perfect amount of sweet. The savory items also contain a perfect hint of sweetness that somehow ties it all together. I've even had a matcha (less sugar) made here and my God it was unexpectedly delicious. I usually spend about $20-ish and share my bag full of goodies with my folks. I love that you can get a lot with a little -- the dollar still stretches here! Sometimes their open hours are a bit off, as if been before during regular hours and they've been closed. I'll also add that the entrance can be confusing as Family Baking shares space or simply is owned by Rolls Village. None of this stops me from stopping by. The cherry on top is that the service is truly phenomenal. I love being greeted where I spend money, and the guy who frequently mans the cash register has such great energy. He's efficient as hell too! When I visited, he skipped through the tipping portion of the POS both times... so I'm not sure if they accept tips but I won't complain too much about that LOL. Go!!!

When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

I spent about $40 for 4 sides, a sandwich and a drink to give you an idea. I like how all the sides are not made with meat so I was able to get an actual veggie for once at a BBQ spot since I don't eat beef or pork. However, they make their fries and chicken wings in beef tallow so there's that. The only entree I can actually eat is the smoked turkey sandwich as every other entree is beef or pork, but the sandwich was yummy Don't sleep on the Green Chile Corn Pudding either However, their setup is flawed. You come in and pick your sides first and then they slice your meats and everything down at the end, last of all. The meats take the longest so by the time I got to pick my meat, my sides had been scooped and sitting on my tray getting cold and lukewarm. So my sandwich was warm and my sides were not. This was kind of irritating and my daughter had already peeped this as we were standing in line waiting for our sandwiches with our sides on a tray getting cooler and cooler. The line was long and this will likely be the case a lot of the time so this doesn't work well. My daughter had a special order of beef taquitos that had to come out later so you know her sides were cold. When she requested new sides or to warm them up she was met with an attitude by one of the workers so that didn't go over well. This was weird to us because the food shoud be warm at the very least, so customer service was lacking there but they did honor her request. If they are going to keep this cafeteria line style setup, we all thought the meats and entrees should be first and then sides so as to avoid having lukewarm or cold sides because all four of us had cold sides by the time we sat down after getting get our drinks and sauces and stuff. And sides should come out together with the special orders so the food is not cold. But hey, I know I'm not Lewis, but yall got my two cents anyway Overall, we had delicious food in a nice, clean establishment. And on the plus side, the Beltline is literally a few steps away!

They are pretty pricy, you do get to keep the jar. I had the salted Carmel cheesecake. There was a bit too much whip cream. The shake itself was very good. It was topped with a peice of cheesecake, which was still frozen. I was not a fan of it frozen, we ended up taking some of the dessert toppings home, and the cheesecake was good later.
