Thoughts on Crumbl Cookies?
- Thread starter bye
- Start date
Personally I find them:
If you can't make a chocolate chip cookie I want to eat more than one of (or even just one, since their cookies are huge), then you've failed at making a cookie.
- Under cooked, at least at the one near me. I love cookie dough as much as anyone, but if I want a cookie I want it actually cooked.
- Way too sweet.
- Waaaay too expensive.

I've had several that were great and a couple mediocre ones. Overpriced but they're fancy cookies, what do people expect?
Nailed my thoughts exactly. Undercooked, way too sweet.
Tiff's Treats does cookies better if you want that perfect "fresh from the oven" cookie experience.
But, crumbl does occasionally have some creative offerings worth trying, like the apple pie cookie. Their whole schtick is luring people in to try each week's new things, but if it has the basic cookie base, then it will taste the same as the last half-baked cookie you ate.

Tried them a few times, even the basic chocolate chip.
For me it was the definition of try-hard cuisine. Bunch of stuffed layered together to taste impossibly rich, but it just ended up being kind of gross.

Insurance carriers bring this into the office I work at very frequently. Honestly, I don't think they're all that good. They're okay, but i'm not going to waste calories on them.
There are some local bakeries some of them bring cookies from that I think are WAY better.

Yeah, they aren't all bad, I think I remembered liking the S'more cookie I tried once.
I want to try them but my partner has had them and says they're not anything different from any other bakery's cookie, just with a $1-$2 upcharge.
100% disagree…as many good donut places there are in the twin cities, I would kill some weekends for a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed.
The quality varies. I've gotten many cookies from them that were undercooked in the middle, and I've gotten many more that were just *perfect*. My favorites from them are their chocolate peanut butter chip cookies, just excellent.
One thing I do agree on is that they are very overpriced. I rarely go there nowadays unless they have something I really want, which is infrequent.

Every so often I see a cupcake shop and it feels like a relic from another time.
I won't be surprised if this kicks off a specialty cookie fad that ends the same way.
Their regular ol' chocolate chip is lousy, but some of their rotating flavors are pretty good. Are they worth $5 a cookie? Probably not.
They make a quality, consistent product and have done so for the better part of the last century?
I love that the "evidence" is like a random Twitter and a random Reddit post. Also, I do not want cookies with "snap". Hard cookies are the worst.
Absolutely love their cookies because they are always so nice and soft and chewy toward the middle. None of that weak crunchy/crispy cookie stuff. Price is a bit much, but as a treat they're nice. Even when I'm not getting one, I always check the flavors for the week.
The cornbread, iced oatmeal, and raspberry cheesecake ones are some of my favorites.

My wife is obsessed with them i am completely indifferent i am not a huge cookie or sweets guy to begin with but the few i took a bite out of i thought they were fantastic albeit expensive.
The Twix one slapped pretty fucking hard and i never found any of them to be undercooked just soft. I picked them up once for my wife and it was probably the most packed i have ever seen a store on a weekday. It was unbelievably fucking packed.

Had never heard of them before receiving a 4-pack as a gift. My family cut each into quadrants and made it last a few days and they were GOOD. So I'm not getting the over-hyped thing, because I never heard any hype. I just thought they were some bomb-ass cookies.
Agreed with the poster above; they are more like brownies or cakes. It's like the chicago deep dish of pizza or something.

Never had them but I assume they are super expensive as I'd always make the most money off those orders when I drove for DoorDash.
They're good. We check the weekly selection and will grab a few if they look good.
They're very expensive, though.

Honestly, nothing amazing. Not bad of course but I expected more from them the way it was hyped to me.
They're definitely expensive but I feel like they're worth the hype, I love checking the app every week to see the new flavors in stock. Ironically their mainstay chocolate chip and pink sugar cookies are extremely mediocre but everything else is very good and usually tastes exactly like what it's themed after. My favorites are the smores and waffle cookies.
Love it when I see a shop I think of as having extremely high quality food come up on Era only for everyone to call it mid lol
I mean you're literally supposed too. The serving size of the cookie is a quarter of it
They taste good but they're insanely decadent and expensive. They're opening but locations like crazy and I'm pretty sure they're going to massively contract in a few years time.
One opened up near me last year. It was busy around the grand opening with lines and stuff but not so much anymore.
I'd rather just go to diddy riese and get a dozen.
