    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.

    The millisecond I saw that The Cyclops had caramelized banana in it, I had to order it.

    The dessert here is so inviting and pretty. Especially the mousse based ones that look like fruits…read more I got the mango, orange, and the one that looks like a mushroom. The orange has a base made of chocolate Rice Krispies. All of them have more fruity filling than the mousse. They are very fragile. I recommend eating there if you can. Finding can be a challenge because it's busy and there aren't many seats. I got mine to go just to be taken to the park across the street . The mushroom kind are totally ruined. It has strawberriy jelly and it was a mess. The orange one was almost ruined too. The mango has some diced mangoes. I devoured three of them instantly. Definitely come back to try more.

    Yummmy!!! What a cute and unique dessert boutique! So many choices but what makes this place stand…read moreout are its adorable and colorful mousse delicacies. The inside was packed with folks! There was no place to sit down because of how busy it was but the staff kept the line moving quick enough. The place still seemed reasonably stocked with their desserts and treats, despite the late afternoon time that I arrived. I ordered 4 different treats to go and they're packed in small box individually. Unfortunately, they didn't quite stay intact during my trek back to my hotel and were tumbled around in the boxes. Nonetheless, the taste and flavors held up well and even after a few days in the fridge. The yuzu daisy has this vivid pastel yellow-pink base and adorable gelatinous yellow gem atop a white flower. The yuzu gives a subtle infusion of tart that is balanced out by the light delicate skin texture of the rest. Sitting atop a thin round rice crispy. I loved the red mushroom one which is a creamy pink mousse inside the cap. The stalk is a thin porcelain-white chocolate light base also filled with a rich cream. Adjacent are two cute little tree nuts. The orange and mango have such vivid colors and are aesthetically pleasing too. Just like the previous ones, their delicate chocolate exterior houses a rich tarty mousse-y filling. I think the mushroom has a better balance and variety of flavors. Although I don't eat mousse treats often, I look forward to trying some of the other ones in the future, like the blueberry, banana and cloud.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!!

They are on the thicker side yet so incredibly soft on the inside and have a perfect crisp on the outer edges, top, and bottom!!

The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
