"Alon’s silver dollar-sized cookies look unassuming and harmless, but we’ve nearly lost a limb in an office fight for the last oatmeal raisin (which says something since the often-despised cookie is like the Voldemort of baked treats). So, if you’re looking for a dessert to bring to an office potluck or house party, an assorted box of Alon’s chocolate pecan, oatmeal raisin, and double chocolate chunk is always well received. Alon’s is also a great place to get harder-to-find specialities like Italian wedding cookies and krakovski cookies, which are available at both their Phipps and Morningside locations." - nina reeder, juli horsford
