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 birthday request was brunch so my husband and friends surprised me with Dandy Lion - one of my…read morefaves! Six of us met at 11:00 on a Monday and the place was comfortable packed. We had about a 5 minute wait. I LOVE their bloody Mary's and my husband loves their spicy bloody so we each had one of those. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. I loved my salmon toast. I forgot about the hash brown side - they taste fine but I'm just not huge on hash browns so I would have chosen a different side. Since it was my birthday, the waitress brought a small plate with 6 macarons - one with a candle. It was the perfect small treat to polish off our brunch! Delicious caramel and chocolate bite!

In my travels I haven't found many places where you can get a double bacon burger, brisket fries and a cold beer for around $20.

Thanks for making Graduation extra SWEET.‍
