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.

The inside area is small, a little dark, and with only a few tables available. Extended conversations should really be taken out into the seating area just outside this coffee shop. My black coffee (my favorite choice) was very good, and the treats were certainly tempting. Counter service was friendly and deliberate.

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!

Was greeted right away and everything was ready when we arrived the cakes looked amazing and decorated as requested. They even helped us to the car with everything.

Thanks for making Graduation extra SWEET.‍
