    Awesome atmosphere and service was amazing. Always come here when in Gulf Shores !!!!

    Stopped in while on vacation late on a Sunday afternoon. Place was fairly quiet. Ordered a sundae and edible cookie dough. Service was very quick and friendly. A very cute shop and unique desserts. Will definitely come back if in area.

    Ice cream was good, but it is a really long wait to get your ice cream. There weren't many people before us and it still took about 30 minutes to get our ice cream out to us. They have a lot of seating and it is decorated so fun! They have a wash station to wash your jars if you get one.

    the cheesecake on our $20 milkshake was frozen in the center but the shake was really good. the wait was really long but the ice cream was pretty good too and there's plenty of seating and cute decor.

    The Yard is a fun place! Souvenir glass jar is $20, in a paper cup is $14. They also have edible cookie dough, and ice cream! 3 scoops of cookie dough is $4!

    stopped by here as a suggestion from our Air BnB host. It's so cute and cool in here with the Alabama summer heat! The milkshakes were $20 but what you get for the price is worth it. The shakes were extravagant and delicious and I devoured it in 15 mins. Would recommend coming here if you're ever in gulf shores!

    You come here to experience the novelty of these milkshakes and you also royally pay for that novelty. Two shakes will sink you about $40. Oof. You can choose the smaller version that is priced at about $12 a piece instead. The ice cream is very good, it is Blue Bell from Texas. The cookie dough cups that were $4 each were also very tasty and were portioned out well for such a rich treat. The price point for the mason jars though is overkill. We tried the jars once to experience it but next time, we will skip the gimmick, and just get a cup of ice cream or cookie dough to enjoy instead.

    Very good milkshakes!! The line was long and the store was crowded, but man are they worth the wait! I definitely recommend splitting a shake. The reusable jars are a great! The only thing is that I wish they had more dairy free flavors available.

    Brookie bowl

    We had the Brookie bowl, it was very good, the cookie was a little thin and flimsy, but it was worth the wait. Everyone was very friendly and the decor was super cute.

    Cheesecake ice cream

    Delicious ice cream and milkshakes. Service was ok! It was very clean and inviting! Portions are huge!!

    Hey! I'm planning a trip to the beach in September and I see a lot of post saying they are overpriced but no price listed on the menu pic so help a girl out, I have 4 kids so what kind of bill am I looking at here? Would a cone be cheaper?

    Yes, about $12 each, but definitely big enough to split. I would recommend going early before it gets nasty dirty and hopefully the wait isn't as long.

I popped in fairly early on a Saturday, early enough that I was the only customer. This place is covered practically floor to ceiling with every variety of cheesecake imaginable, in individual portions to giant shareable cakes. There are a few other treats available too, like cookies. After browsing the flavors, I decided on a small sized turtle cheesecake. I think it was maybe labeled as individual but I comfortably shared it for a smallish dessert with my parents. My one disappointment was that all the smaller cheesecakes I could see were in circular servings (like a large hockey puck) instead of slices. I don't know if I'm just bad at looking for things or if they don't sell slices anymore, but I made out okay with my dessert. Service was very friendly and welcoming and got me rung up quickly. I took a quick bite while it was still cold and then saved the rest for about 1.5 drive up to our lunch spot on our way home. It held up pretty well in the air conditioned car. The bites were delicious both times. It's a pleasantly thick and creamy cheesecake. I enjoyed the chocolate cookie crust though I wish there'd been slightly more of it. The turtle toppings on top really added extra tasty flavor, though I only found chocolate and caramel -- no nuts despite it being a turtle cheesecake. That was kind of a bummer, but I still really liked my dessert. I'd happily get this same cheesecake again. Definitely worthy of a try if you find yourself in the area!

    First time trying this bakery and man it did not disappoint! The shop smells like a sugar cookie…read morecandle (perfect for a bake shop). They have multiple flavors of cakes, cupcakes and cookies. We decided on a classic vanilla "leftover" cake that was one day past Halloween. The sprinkles didn't scream Halloween, so it was perfect for my grandmas 90th birthday because she LOVES sprinkles! It was 50% off and man this cake tasted like a $100 cake! You can tell this was made with Fresh and real ingredients! The icing was my FAVORITE! It had a smooth bite to it! And the cake, Y'all it was sooo moist! It was a large round 2 layer cake. We had tons of leftovers for 6 people. Served with birthday cake ice cream and my grandmother LOVED it! I can't wait to go back and try their Carmel and strawberry flavors! 10/10! Supper local!

    I really wanted to enjoy my treats from here but sadly I thought they were really disappointing…read more :( I came in about two weekends ago while on vacation with my in-laws in the area. This small shop is located in a large shopping center next to a grocery store I was unfamiliar with (Rouse's, if I remember correctly). Thankfully, that makes parking pretty easy. The inside is simple but cute, and very clean. The one girl working that day sort of looked at me like I'd grown three heads when I came in and didn't offer any assistance, but warmed up when I chatted her up while checking out. She was quite nice once we spoke to each other but the lack of hello or can I help you after looking right at me in an otherwise-empty shop was kinda weird. I selected two cake slices: a caramel cake slice and an oreo chocolate cake slice. I was somewhat tempted by the German chocolate cake but couldn't discern any coconut or pecan pieces in the frosting. Maybe it was a more literal /german/ chocolate cake, rather than the chocolate cake with pecan and coconut frosting named after Sam German? I usually assume the latter in average US bakeries but who can say. The lady at the register informed me the cake slices were BOGO that day, so the price was right! Though I can't help but wonder if the fact they were BOGO reflected some kind of decline in quality or an older cake slice, because sadly I didn't really enjoy either cake. I will admit I delayed a day or two between buying my slices and sharing them with my husband, so perhaps that contributed to the deterioration of it. At any rate, the Oreo chocolate cake was very dry. The icing had kind of separated from the cake and had crystallized into a crunchy, saccharine strip. My husband wouldn't even finish his half of the piece. The caramel cake was better, a tiny bit more moist with slightly less "crackly" icing. Still not my favorite -- a little on the dense side, and still fairly dry. Again, perhaps this experience was partially on me for delaying a day or so in eating my treats, but I dunno. Perhaps cupcakes are the way to go instead? I'm not sure. I'm sad I didn't have a super positive experience, but I like the concept of this business and I wish them success!

    There has been a lot of buzz for quite some time about a cookie place coming to town. I had never…read moretried Crumbl Cookies, and only heard them mentioned in passing but that just changed tonight. I decided to give these folks a try for our dessert after a restaurant nearby. My thoughts on those cookies will come later, but first here's a little info about their roots. Crumbl Cookies has recently expanded its reach to my hometown of Gulf Shores, AL, with a new location at 3800 Gulf Shores Parkway, Building 100, Suite 138. The bakery officially opened its doors on December 15, 2023, marking the second Baldwin County location. Local residents and tourists alike can now indulge in their special array of gourmet cookies, adding a sweet touch to their coastal experience. A rapidly growing bakery franchise, has apparently taken the world by storm with its approach to the classic cookie. Since its inception in 2017, Crumbl has garnered a loyal following of customers who eagerly await the weekly rotation of unique and creative flavors. With hundreds of locations across the US, Crumbl has become a household name for many cookie enthusiasts. It was founded by cousins Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley in Logan, Utah, and Crumbl Cookies began as a humble cookie shop with a passion for creating delicious treats. The duo's dedication to crafting unique flavors and providing exceptional customer experiences quickly gained traction, which has lead to rapid expansion across the country. Today, Crumbl boasts over 600 locations and continues to grow. One of the key elements that sets Crumbl apart from other bakeries is its ever-changing menu. Each week, Crumbl introduces a lineup of four to five new flavors, ensuring that there's always something new and exciting to try. The flavors range from inventive twists on classic favorites to completely unique creations, such as "Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough," "Cinnamon Fry Bread," and "Birthday Cake." In addition to their regular cookies, Crumbl also offers gluten-free, vegan, and sugar-free options to cater to dietary restrictions. Beyond providing tasty treats, each location features an open-concept kitchen, allowing patrons to witness the cookie-making process firsthand. The signature pink packaging, complete with the Crumbl logo, adds a touch of charm and makes for a nice gift or treat for a special occasion. Now, my opinion, based solely on my first visit, there's no place to sit, there's no coffee, and quite frankly I'm not a fan. The cookies are dense and the frostings/toppings are overly sweet, plus they're pricey. Bottom line: Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the Crumbl craze, they have arrived and are open for business. Enjoy! https://crumblcookies.com/algulfshores

    Nice quick service. Even when we didn't really know what we were doing! Love the revolving menu.read more
