I am in love with Annie O Love's! This was the one place I wanted to try while visiting Charleston! Seriously, my mouth was watering the second we booked our trip 9 months in advance! It did not disappoint. Got the Mac Daddy "Chicken" and Waffles and my hubby got the Holy Frijoles Batman Quesadilla. Both were amazing. Loved the use of peanut butter tofu with hot sauce and the granola on the waffles. Such an interesting flavor combo. For dessert, we ordered each of the available cookie jars which were de-freakin-lightful. Mine (can't remember the name) had yellow cake and strawberry cheesecake batter layered with almonds and chocolate chips. The other had chocolate cake and layers of buttercream and chocolate chips. We even ordered an order of two pancakes (with granola baked right in) for breakfast the next morning since we were leaving early. I know some folks remarked it was a bit pricey but it was worth it. Please also consider this is a small business making everything from scratch with a fully vegan menu. Quality ingredients and hard work don't come cheap!

Loved the flavors. Tofu coat is perfect blend to so many dishes! From smoothie to avocado toast it was fantastic to come two days in a row

Nice atmosphere with delicious food. The menu sounds amazing and I really wanted to order everything on the menu. I was in town for the day and they had perfect vegan selection. Decided to dine in for a minute and service was nice. A calm, peaceful atmosphere. Took a smoothie to go after having avocado toast and the mushroom quesadillas. Every thing was so tasty. Took some to take to my kid and he loved it too.

This place was always a go-to for me! I’ve loved almost all of the cookies and desserts I’ve tried, and the pesto was also just so amazing!!! The prices can be a bit much but the ingredients are top notch and everything is vegan, which is wonderful. I try to recommend to others!!! The only downfall is that sometimes service can be a bit rude but other than that I hope to be back soon.

One of the few, if not only gluten free and vegan restaurants in the area. I will definitely be back. My pesto sandwich was awesome. The cookies are a hit too 🙌🏿

Auntie O Loves Cookie Café is an amazing. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the cookies are so delicious. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu! It’s such a relief to find a place where everything on the menu is safe for someone who’s gluten-free. I would very highly recommend!

We came here for a late breakfast. This is a dedicated GF and vegan cafe. We got the Avocado Annie, a single pancake, and the strawberry shortcake jar. My husband got the 25k Golden Milk Latte. It was all excellent! The pancake included their house granola in the batter. The texture is solid and filling. The strawberry shortcake jar had a chocolate covered strawberry at the top and had layers of cake, strawberries, and chocolate goodness. I took about 1/2 home for later. We are visiting from out of town and would highly recommend!

Annie O’ Loves Vegan Cafe is a hidden gem in Charleston! Stopped here with my band before our long drive home after a weekend of shows. The staff couldn’t have been nicer - super patient with all our questions and even helped me decide on my Golden milk coffee (perfect temperature, might need extra sweetener if you like it sweet). The vegan waffle with cheese cooked in was amazing - you can’t even taste the cheese, just adds great texture! When I needed more syrup, they quickly brought it plus some vegan cream cheeze drizzle. HUGE portions - three grown men couldn’t finish and took leftovers for the road. Everything was perfectly seasoned and at the ideal temperature. Whether you’re vegan or not, definitely worth trying! The cookies in the display case looked incredible too - saving those for next time. This will be our first stop whenever we tour through Charleston again!

Annie O'Loves Cookies are amazing! If you are in West Ashley, you have to stop at this super cute bakery for a super yummy sweet treat! The restaurant also has delicious brunch food options, but we usually stop in just for the amazing cookies! The cookies of the week are usually displayed within a beautiful chalkboard mural. There are plenty of seating options and there's even a second story balcony area if the lower floor seats are taken. The sweet girls in the shop are helpful and kind. They also love to give suggestions. The fabulous cookies options are quite extensive and we all tried something different. I had the "crème brûlée brownie cookie" and it was definitely delicious! One friend had the Valentines Special sprinkle cookie sandwich and another had the traditional chocolate chip. Everyone loved their cookies and we will definitely be back again when in West Ashley.

Annie O's is a fantastic, super cute, gluten-free cafe that can be enjoyed by all! Fast, very friendly, welcoming service with gigantic, beautiful, delicious cookies on display. I purchased 3 'coz... LOL! Absolutely recommend for the fellow gluten free and celiac crowd. Love it, love it!!

My wife is 100% gluten and dairy free. While visiting Charleston on vacation it was a pleasure to find a vegan restaurant where my family all found something they liked. The kids ate grill cheese and unicorn pancakes and the wife was happy to find quesadillas and the oatmeal cream pie. My oldest child and I feasted on the "chicken" nachos and the pesto was so fresh. The ladies at the counter were very friendly and were very nice to bring the food to the loft where we played Jenga and chess while we waited.

I had high hopes for this place as they tout being vegan and gluten free. The "Dream Big" cookie I ordered was so bland and underwhelming in flavor and taste. I felt like I could have bought the same thing boxed at Whole Foods. It was $8 and change, wrapped in plastic and she didn't even give me a napkin. The ambiance is just ok and the staff wasn't overly friendly. Pass.

Stopped in here, I wanted to go Christophe's a few doors down but they were closed. Grabbed a couple of cookies for the kids and an iced coffee for myself. The coffee was good - smooth, and not too sweet - and was pretty tasty. Kids absolutely loved their cookies! These things are massive. You could legit split one 2 or 3 ways and feel pretty satisfied. The rest of the menu looks fantastic too! I don't find myself in the West Ashley area too often, but places like this will definitely have me making it a regular haunt. J.Ja

My sister and I are always on the look out for good vegan bakeries when we are on trips and Annie O Loves did not disappoint! I got the Cookie Monster cookie and the red velvet cookie sandwich. They both came in little to go pouches which was convenient because the cookies are HUGE and we started eating one at one of their outside tables but took the rest to go. The red velvet sandwich cookie was AMAZING. I feel like I could easily fly back to Charleston just for that. The Cookie Monster one is good too but the red velvet is the one I keep thinking about. Everyone must try it! My sister also loved her cookies and she is not vegan.

Cookies are a must when visiting! We tried 5 of them. I really liked the Dream Big and Blueberry Lemon cookie. They sell so many other products like cheesecakes, but it's so hard to see/read their menu, there's so much on it. Abs the cheesecakes or cakes are not available to view on display. I would love to see more of their products available to view. The service was great! Ambience was very nice too. They have an upstairs area to sit and chill.

Great variety of fun flavors, and it's vegan and gluten free?! Thank you Annie! If I lived here, this would be a fun regular spot as it has a nice second level sitting area to play games and enjoy food. The service was happy and welcoming - not just because it's their job either. The desserts are pretty expensive but not surprising for vegan/gluten-free. I tried the Dream Big and Cookie Monster which are over $6 each. For the price and creativity, I was expecting more depth of flavor. Still, if I lived nearby I would come again.

First timer! Stopped in on a time crunch between work and doctors appt, to pick up a few quick things to throw in a care bag for a coworker having a tough day. Super cute little cafe. Service was quick, but I was quickly overwhelmed with all the amazing choices. The girl was super sweet and helped me picked some things out, and I even snagged some for myself. Couldn't help it, they looked so good! As an added bonus the treats are vegan and gluten free, and I can tell you it didn't lack any flavor. I don't eat exclusively vegan and/or gluten free, but I do have several chronic illnesses and gastroparesis, so when possible it is easier on my stomach/digestion. I still have tastebuds and don't like to sacrifice flavor though. Coworker loved the goodies in her bag. I split a Snow White and an Apocalypse cookie with my dad (who refuses healthy food) and my best friend with Crohn's. It was a win win for everyone! Dad said it was great and had no idea it was a "healthy cookie" and Crohn's bestie had no tummy issues. Highly recommend and I will be back, for sure!

My sister has some food allergies so we stopped here after the beach for drinks and snacks! The chocolate chip cookie was awesome. The menu was unique with its fully vegan and gluten free options but since my sis is allergic to soy she couldn't order any of the vegan "chicken" items because it was tofu. They had a unique drink selection. The employees were helpful and I appreciated the open kitchen and how clean everything was. The upstairs is a fun spot to play chess and enjoy the art on tables and huge wall murals!

Good (veggie / vegan) option that I visited while on the road. My sandwich was fine, pretty flavorful and well pressed and grilled. The side salad was very plain, essentially just spring mix and a few slices of bell pepper. I got a cookie too and it was tasty!

Since going gluten and dairy free earlier this year it's been really hard going out to eat. I was so excited when I learned everything is gluten and dairy free here! I ordered the "chicken" nachos, my bf who doesn't have any dietary restrictions ordered the corn bread waffle and loved it. We also ordered a few cookies and ate those at home. Everything was well priced and absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more!!!!

Oh, baby... that Besto Pesto sandwich! I am a vegan in the low country capital of the world; I assumed I would end up eating a lot of salads while here because there was NO WAY there would be any vegan options (let alone an entire restaurant) for me. And then, COSA popped up on my Yelp. I like pesto but it never occurred to me to mix it with savory granola and slap it on a sandwich! Wow! It knocked my socks off! THIS SANDWICH WAS THE BOMB! That's the easiest way to explain it. Soon as you open the box, the aroma hits your nose. You have to eat it with a fork and knife because it's so hot, you can't even hold it in your hands. It came with a cookie. It was underwhelming. Maybe because I was so blown away by the sandwich, the cookie just didn't have a chance. I'm DEFINITELY coming back here.

I went to this establishment thinking I could get a delicious chocolatey cookie to fulfill my craving for sweets. When I arrived, I saw that they had big cookies painted on the wall outside. It is a beautiful mural. I went inside and looked over the menu. I decided on a cookie that said it had a ball of cookie dough in the center and it had swirls of blue cheesecake around the cookie dough. It sounded delicious to me. Also a woman that was there getting some food, she commented that everything there was delicious and if you cannot pick which one to get, just get them all. I was excited for this cookie. I brought it home and I ate it after dinner. This cookie was not sweet. It had some round things all throughout the cookie that made my boyfriend question if this cookie is supposed to be healthy. He looked up the name of the cookie shop and found out that this cookie place is vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Therefore, my cookie did not have any real chocolate in it. That was very disappointing. It did not make my craving for sweets go away. I ended up throwing away half of the cookie. I personally would not recommend this place to anybody looking for a sweet treat. However, if you are vegan and vegetarian or have a gluten-free diet, this place might be for you! But it is definitely not for me.

Give this cafe ALL the stars!! I've been driving by for about a year but finally made a trip inspired by a coworker's going away party - our boss brought a Celebration Vegan Cheesecake for us to share and after a slice had to seek more. I brought my Dad because a slice alone is enough for 2 people or at least leftovers. (Very generous slice). The cheesecake itself is fluffy, flavorful, and tastes like party! There's multiple textures going on with the hardened chocolate to the gobs of cookie dough..which reminds me, if you like cookie dough - the celebration cake slice is a must! I got a regular iced coffee to balance out the sweetness of the cake and found it perfect. The staff is kind and friendly plus patient with all the questions. I'm super impressed with how this cafe has a full menu - it's not just display-only. Whatever you want on the menu they have and offer sandwiches, big cookies, smoothies, variety of unique espresso drinks, tea, sandwiches. Very unique items that are vegan, vegetarian, gluten free. Very inclusive cafe which I appreciate. Keep it up! Can't wait to return!!

Wow wow wow! If you are a vegetarian/vegan or gluten free or just someone who enjoys eating delicious food, this is the place for you. Menu ranges from sandwiches to nachos to waffles, so you've got the full spread. We munched down two sandwiches that were absolutely delicious and of course we got some cookies to go. Staff is friendly and the service was quick. Overall positive vibes in this place. As a vegetarian I just love being able to pick ANYTHING off the menu. Will definitely be back here.

I've been following these scrumptious treats on social media, and finally made my way into the cookie café yesterday to grab a few cookies. Super cute exterior. Kinda dark inside, but I only was at the register since I got my goodies to go. Opted for the holiday sandwich cookie since I'm a sucker for frosting and the cookie monster cookie because it just sounded fun. I'm not vegan, but I think these are great cookies. The cookie monster was a little more granola-like, but the ball of cookie dough on top made up for that. You'd never know the frosting was vegan by tasting it. It's really delicious! And they're large cookies, so I cut them in half later since I couldn't decide which to eat first. I got a can of sparkling tea and with my two cookies, it was just over $20. A little pricey for sure, but the quality was great and I know good ingredients aren't cheap. It's a good place for a treat, and I hope they continue doing well. I hear the cheesecake is amazing, so I hope to try it some time!

If you're looking for a unique lunch that you can't find anywhere else in Charleston, the Café of Sweet Abundance is your place. I'd expect to find restaurants like this in Asheville, Seattle, or California, but not in the suburbs like West Ashley. The restaurant has a hippie, earthy, vibe, with the chocolate chip cookie painted on the outside that brings a smile to my face when I sit in Ashley River Rd. traffic. They opened just prior to the COVID pandemic, and I'm grateful they survived such a trying time for restaurants. On my first visit, I ordered a MacDaddy Chick'N Sandwich, which consisted of vegan "chicken", dairy-free "cheese", pesto, and nutty granola. I'm pescatarian now, but have eaten many real chicken sandwiches in my life, and this sandwich beats all of those. When you bite into your sandwich, go in with an open mind about the new foods you're trying, rather than what is "missing". The sandwich ingredients are flavorful and combine well. The dairy-free cheese is the best I've had, with a consistency and taste like real cheese rather than the grainy texture of some vegan cheeses. The pieces of chick'n are small but in every bite of the sandwich, and the pesto and granola add crunch. The warm, gluten-free bread holds the panini ingredients together well, and I couldn't tell a difference from other locally-sourced breads. My sandwich came with a small "life changing" cookie on the side, which is the perfect dessert and eases the pain of the $14 price tag of the sandwich. The cookie was soft but filled with crunch from granola. Everything is naturally sweetened and the taste reflects that, but I gobbled it right up. Unlike a lot of artificially sweetened or heavily sweetened foods, I was satisfied with the small cookie and wasn't craving more sugar. A week later, I returned to try the Chick'N and Waffles. Since I don't eat actual chicken, this was my first time ever having the traditional southern delicacy. The waffles were thick and filling, and I was full after eating about half the entrée. I ate the rest later, and it reheated perfectly. The "MacDaddy Butter" that comes with the Chick'N and Waffles tastes a little like pimento cheese. One piece of Chick'N, a bite of waffle, and a little bit of MacDaddy butter = Happiness in your mouth. Everything at Café of Sweet Abundance is gluten free and vegan, but don't let those words turn you off. If someone has food allergies, this is the perfect spot because everyone can enjoy it with no worries. Sometimes paying a little more is worth the peace of mind that you won't accidentally get a meat item. All of my vegan or vegetarian friends can relate. Whether you're trying to incorporate more plant-based foods in your diet or just want a lunch you can't get anywhere else, Café of Sweet Abundance is worth the splurge for special occasions or to brighten an ordinary day.

Really yummy cookie. I'm a fan. I would love to come back and try some of the food and such. I was caught off guard because the first cookie we picked was $8...for a single cookie. There are no prices listed on cookies so I just didn't know. Oof. Glad my kiddo didn't really care when we switched it out. Super nice worker too. My kid didn't appreciate the cookie in the same way I did but let's be honest, kids are weird and like things like spaghetti O's and such lol!

I think I have an addiction. The gluten-free / vegan menu might throw you off however these are some of the best desserts that I've ever had. I've tried almost all the cookies including the special holiday ones, I've had most of their cheesecake abundance jars and can't wait to try their most recent one for St Patrick's Day. The whole vibe inside is amazing. The staff is wonderful and incredibly helpful. It's always so fun in there. I highly recommend checking it out. Follow them on social to see how things are made, new items coming out and a lot of behind the scenes stuff that isn't usually shared with a lot of places.

Everything was great!! I got the Spicy Chick'n Avocado panini (not spicy if you ask me, but still tasty) My partner got the chickn and waffles. We finished up with a cookie, a "jar," and a piece of peanut butter cheesecake.... amazing. The cookie that came with the sandwich was underwhelming but don't let that dissuade you from ordering a more robust cookie for dessert!!! 10/10 on the tofu chicken. Everything is vegan which is amazing. Omnivores would never know, so don't count this cute little place out!

stopped in for a quick sweet treat. & WOAH. The Cookie Monster cookie was incredible. I probably should've split it with my husband, but I chose to eat the whole thing myself lol! It is topped with shavings of macadamia nut, and has a huge chocolate truffle in the center. Perfect for a Friday pick-me-up!! The woman at the register was incredibly friendly, and her service was top notch & efficient. I certainly will be back!!

I think this is a really neat place and love that all their cookies are vegan! I had a really delicious oatmeal cream pie and my husband got a cookie as well that he really enjoyed. However, there was a bit of shock when the total rang up to $17 for the two cookies. Totally respect the mission, but may not be the bakery for me in the future.

I had seen pictures of their beautiful cookies so I stopped in today. The display case for the cookies is hidden behind a wall so I had to ask to see what they had. They look so delicious but all 3 tasted like coconut which I despise. I guess being vegan they use coconut oil or other coconut products in the cookies? The texture also just fell apart and there was a gritty after-texture. You could also benefit from better signage like "order here" and I visible menu board.

I love Annie and I love her new adventure venture. As other reviewers have mentioned, she (with her cookies, cheesecakes, and granola) has been a pillar of the farmer market community, and has now opened her own cafe. It's hard to overstate how joyful and colorful of a person Annie is and honestly it is worth coming here JUST to see how all that joy and color manifest a Cafe. That could be my entire review. When you walk in you first notice how open and bright the space is- open kitchen, lots of windows. There are breathtaking murals inside and out and Annie is in charge in the kitchen. The day I was there was their 2nd day open and she was training her staff about all her different cheesecakes. It's worth the visit just to hear her preach her wares.: "We've got big things here for Charleston- I'm so excited about this ya'll. And that's a hunk a hunk a burnin' love." I had a savory dish- a vegan pesto grilled cheese she calls "The Ms Lucia" it is seedy and gooey and great. Plus a warm turmeric drink she calls Heal 'Em A Latte. Check out the photo cause it has golden fairy dust on it- I expect nothing less from Annie than literal MAGIC. Check her out.

As a dairy-free Celiac w/ a sweet tooth, this placed had my name all over it. The oatmeal cream pie almost brought tears to my eyes since I haven't had one in years! Carrot cake cookie is 10/10. Hunka Hunka was okay, but wouldn't get again. Will definitely be back since the menu is massive.

This place is not only vegan, but also gluten-free, which surprised me. They're not big on soy either. There's not much left at that point, is there? Or so it would seem. Speaking from a vegetarian perspective, I don't have quite as much common ground with vegans as you might think, as these sorts of restaurants tend to try to emulate foods I was never interested in to begin with. I much prefer classic vegetarian foods from world cuisines to a fake cheeseburger. And frankly, whatever arguments one might make against them, I like dairy products. But hey, I finally found an excuse to give this place a try. It has a New Orleans vibe, like something you'd find in Bywater, with tattoos all around and a menu that wildly overpromotes everything (ludicrous enthusiasm is considered standard salemanship in New Orleans). My pesto grilled cheese looked like an actual grilled cheese and mind you, pesto is not typically vegan and is a complex flavor that is difficult to get right, but this pesto was legit. It was smeared on the sandwich so heavily that it was difficult to keep on, with an extra side of pesto added for some reason. But it was good enough that I ate it. Whatever they use for bread wasn't as good as a quality sourdough, but was airy and textural enough that I didn't think twice of it until someone else said that it was gluten free. Still, a cornbread waffle might be better and I rather wish I'd tried that. My smoothie was fine; it was a bit grainy and a bit "health food", honestly, like something I'd make with my own blender. I noted with some amusement that other people came in and asked to avoid nuts, and I'm guessing this is the sort of place that gets a lot of requests and the people working there seemed quite prepared to handle questions if you're the sort of person that asks a lot of them. I'm not likely to go gluten-free or vegan myself, but I was pretty impressed with what they were able to do, and I'd come back.

Annie's is the best all GF cafe I've ever found! From smoothies by Jenni, to sandwiches, and COOKIES, I can never leave with just one cookie. My fave is Pecan Pie and for Christmas, the gingerbread sandwich cookie with buttercream. Everyone who works there is so helpful and friendly. It's an adorable little cafe.

My Cookie Dealer is better than yours The Double Doozy - 100% Vegan, Gluten free, Processed Sugar free, Soy free & Corn free! It's peanut butter brownie cookies pressed with a pretzel and rice crispies then smoothed together with vegan buttercream and chocolate drizzle on top! This was so delicious and honestly better tasting than the cookies that contain gluten and processed sugar! The vibe here is so relaxed and laid back and the staff is so friendly and answers all questions. You can get the menu online and it even tells you ingredients so it is very good allergy friendly! I definitely suggest taking a trip to check out the coolest bakery in West Ashley!!

O M G!!!!! This place is just phenomenal!!! I was instantly greeted by Jenny. She is so full of life and you can tell she's passionate about the business and veganism. She gave me some recommendations for the "Must haves". I went with the Macdaddy Crispy Chick'n and I was just BLOWN AWAY! Also the fact that you could skip chips or a salad and get a cookie as your side?!? That's speaking my language! The sandwich ended up beyond surpassing my expectations, so much so that I bought a pint of the marinated tofu. They hit that one on the nose for sure and it was definitely the best tofu I've ever had. Sarah helped me when I was ordering the pint of tofu and was just amazing! I could not have asked for a better customer service and food experience. The decor just set everything off. It's so welcoming and all the vibes you would want in a vegan experience.

Maybe because I'm not vegan is why I thought the food was horrible? This sandwich cost me $16 for avocado, chicken and cheese on bread.. I asked for a side salad and got chips. Probably the worst thing I have ever eaten. The cookies also taste earthy and very gritty.

So great to have a fully gluten free cafe! Second visit. Very friendly staff. I had the Funghi sandwich (a treat to be able to order a sandwich!). Delicious. EXTREMELY filling. I should've saved the cookie it comes with for later. Bought more cookies to take home. They are huge! I quartered and froze them and enjoyed GF desserts at home.

Can I give this spot 10 stars out of 5? I don't know how Annie does it but everything in this cafe is out of this world incredible. My husband was diagnosed celiac a few years ago and he was sad to lose all the amazing treats that has gluten - cookies, cheesecake, sandwiches. I believe everything they do here is both vegan and gf. What?? Amazing!! We discovered this spot on Uber Eats during the pandemic and indulged in her "jars of abundance". Holy moly, are those things freaking amazing. It's sort of a snippet sampler of all the amazing desserts they make and it's crazy good. Cookie bits, truffle, cheesecake filling - they all vary and change with the season but they're all worth it. They did a vintage style tin filled with a cookie assortment for Christmas and I think this was my hub's favorite gift. He did not want to share and I don't blame him! They make an "Oreo" style cookie that destroys Oreos. So freaking amazing! We've visited many times since the original discovery and will come back forever. They're doing a farmer's market these days and we need to check it out!

I will come back to this place once a month. I'm sure of it. I am trying out veganism and after much research, I choose Annie's place. I had the spicy avocado and added McChick at Annie's suggestion. It was so tasty. Avocado was a little too spicy for me. That's my problem, not hers. I don't eat spicy food ever, but I wanted to try. lol I'll ask for less spice next time. And then you get this wonderful cookie. I plan to try every sandwich. Oh, yeah, Annie is just a delight. Get your carry-out today and I can't wait to just be able to sit down and enjoy a dining experience.

Probably the worst place. I am so disappointed. They messed up my order 4 times and the girl out the counter was such a ditz. They can't also alter your sandwich at all. I asked if I can add mushrooms on my sandwich and she said she couldn't. They didn't do that there. The cookies were full of sugar ! Like gritty sugar! Wouldn't not Recommend!

I did not find out until I got to the counter that they were vegan. I don't know if that makes a difference. But most of their cookies have oats in them if not all. Kind of different. Not bad but not expected. I guess I do need to eat better but at a bakery maybe not. Lol. It's just weird every cookie you bite into has some kind of oats. Everyone on the staff seems to be in real good shape so I guess it works. LOL I like how their cookies are packaged. They look like the plug. Lol. Everything looks packaged like it's weed. I love the location also. I'm from West Ashley so super cool to see a newer business in the parking lot. New to me. My kids didn't really like it but they are basic. They don't like anything out of the ordinary. I thought I would come in and get cookies instead of birthday cake for my son. It was cool with me and him trying everyone that we bought. It was a cool father son moment. Nice clean establishment. I will probably be back to try the sandwiches I like their menu.

I cannot stop eating the life changing chocolate chip cookies! They taste indulgent but still healthy. They're amazing. We also got one of each cheesecakes. One birthday cake cheesecake and one peanut butter cheesecake. Don't expect a traditional (dairy) cheesecake taste but instead expect a wonderful combination of flavors and textures that come to be super delicious. We loved it all. But if you only buy one of the three things I mentioned, buy the cookie! Delicious bargain for a giant cookie at $4!
