    The Cyclops (~$5)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: The Cyclops (~$5): chocolate chunk banana The Circe (~$5): chocolate ginger Aya's take: Cookie Odyssey is making some of the most decadent and distinctive cookies I've ever had! The millisecond I saw that The Cyclops had caramelized banana in it, I had to order it. The Circe was also intriguing as I've never had a cookie with actual ginger in it. The Cyclops was perfect. It's soft, thick, gooey, and sweet from the banana but not overwhelmingly sweet from the chocolate chunks. Such as satisfying cookie & I definitely don't want to know how many calories it has. The Circe was unique; the chocolate and ginger combination surprisingly worked, the flavor was actually quite refreshing despite how dense it is. They're located at a kiosk on the outdoor patio. The worker who took our order was slightly cold & unfriendly which took away from the experience a bit. Nonetheless, don't miss out!

    A cute and very small cookie spot in the heart of the fidi area. Big cookies are $5 each and small ones are $2.00. Small but great selection of flavors. Got the banana chocolate chip & the classic odyssey cookie. In my opinion the banana chocolate chip (the smaller one) was so much better than the classic cookie. Perfect amount of banana and chocolate chips. Not over or under cooked and had the right texture. I'd stop by again and get a batch of those for sure!

    A very cute cookie shop with a small and simple selection of cookies for sale. I did not know it was a cookie shop until I saw the door. Thought it was some visitor's station booth for some reason. The whole shop is decorated with pretty pink flowers all over! Lots of it! So pretty! Inside was very hot and I was baked! AC wasn't working so well and I immediately was in front of the lady and her cookies. The cookies of each flavor came in 2 sizes. Large one is $5 and small one is $2. I ended up getting the Odyssey Signature "Belgian Double", The Penelope "Triple Chocolate", and Banana Cyclops "Chocolate Chunk". The Odyssey Signature one was my favorite. Very chocolatey and soft inside! It was still soft after a few days from buying it. The banana in my opinion was too soft and banana pieces were very mushy and sweet.

    That banana-chocolate cookie! Totally agree with previous reviews. So delicious, like a rich cup of banana pudding, gooey, delicious. Really liked the pecan cookie and the chocolate-chip cookie. The rest (the ginger, yuzu, white-chocolate dark chocolate) were four stars. Coming back for that banana cookie. 5 stars!!!!

    Hubby and I had a sweet tooth and this place was close by. The shop is small and only fits 2-3 customers at a time. We waited for the customers to finish up before we entered. We were greeted by the cashier and he explained the cookies. We opted for the buy 10 minis and get 2 free. I loved how they offer the option to warm them for you. The cookies were pretty good. I recommend trying if you have a sweet tooth and in the mood for cookies.

    I have to say this is one of the most amazing cookies I have ever had in my life! I love banana anything and I stopped by one day to try their small cookie. I also tried the chocolate chip. They were soft yet crunchy on the outside. Needless to say in the last week I have been there 3 times. Owner is super sweet and she gave me a hug when I stopped in today. Even though I'm moving to Brooklyn today, I will definitely come back and get these from time to time.

    Pretty good! I tried the chocolate cookie and the banana one ( I think called cyclops). I liked the banana one better and thought they were a pretty good size. It's a cute little shop in FiDi! The two people there were very nice.

    Came here to try the Cyclops cookie after seeing it all over social media. It was pretty good and I really liked the banana and chocolate chip combination. The regular chocolate chip cookie was just ok. A bit too dense and nothing special. Location is a bit out of the way. Prices are similar to Levain's but Levain still reigns supreme in my opinion. Sidenote: Just tried the new lemon cookie from Levain and it is phenomenal! Must try!!

    Definitely enjoyed the cookies overall. My husband and I wanted to try all six that they had available so we opted for the mini cookies. The ginger cookie was gimmicky. I was expecting a strong ginger punch, but we were barely able to taste the ginger at all. We really enjoyed the pecan pie cookie and the cyclops (banana).

    Delicious cookies!!! Some of the best I've tried in NYC. I tried the classic chocolate chip & the banana one; I think I preferred the chocolate chip, but the banana one was really special - the bananas at the bottom almost get caramelized, and mixed with the chocolate chips it's kind of like chocolate chip banana bread vibes (but in a cookie). The cookies are dense & soft but also have a little crunch, too; the perfect balance. Mine were served room temp, but I bet they'd be even more incredible if they were warm + gooey! They have minis, which is nice, but I feel like the texture / ratio etc wouldn't be right. Go for the big ones!!:) Definitely stop by if you're looking for a sweet treat in FiDi! Pop into Pi as well (the Greek bakery next door - same management), you won't regret it!!

    A cute little cookie shop across from a Greek Bakery located in FiDi. After seeing pictures on yelp, I had to stop by. Ordered the Classic Chocolate Chip and Cyclops (banana). Both were good but I preferred the Cyclops with chunks of banana. No seating inside but outdoor seating is available.

We had thLychee martinis & Dreams of Amalfi Hazelnut bar, crème brûlée (we topped itwith melted chocolate from the cheesecake), and Dubai chocolate cheesecake On the pricier side, but worth it for the ambiance, service, and flavors.

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
