Cookies & More is my absolute favorite place to get cookies in the greater IC area. There's…read moresomething nostalgic about them - partly due to the fact that they're located in a former mall that gives me major 90s vibes. My top picks: monster, peanut butter, pecan chocolate chip. I've never tried a cookie from C&M that I didn't like. They also offer mini cookies if you order in advance and bags of day olds. I think their business hours might coincide with the U.'s breaks, so maybe something to be aware of. Highly recommend!

I grew up on these cookies.

My black coffee (my favorite choice) was very good, and the treats were certainly tempting. Counter service was friendly and deliberate.

My mom's French toast was ok because it was pretty dense and lacked some flavor. The homemade jam made it much better. The salmon toast was closer to a minced salad, and she would give it a 3/5. She had it before, but this time it was very different, and it was visually unappealing in how it was presented. The service was good but not great. We had to ask for coffee refills, which was slightly frustrating for a breakfast spot. The ambiance was very cool, with a local, laid-back feel. The bathroom was small, and there was no purse hook. I will definitely return, but there was room for improvement to get that last star.

It's always to nice to be reminded when I walk in the shop that they also have ice cream! This means an ice cream sandwich is always an option, if you're in the mood.
