It's official; Arble just became one of my new favorite family owned, local businesses here in Jax. Hands down.
Look at this gorgeous woman you are greeted by personally as soon as you walk in (not to mention the immediate smell of fresh baked cookies)
Every customer is greeted with a warm and welcoming smile from everyone working in the bakery. I've never felt so much love walking into a business before - I know I turned red; blushing with with all the attention.
Every customer that walks in gets the red carpet treatment - new or returning, you immediately feel so special. Did I mention Free Samples ??? Yeah, free sample cookie! A whole cookie! Not a piece of one; the whole thing! I had to show off my peanut butter cookie sample in front of the pretty balloon display (which was also made by a family member! This entire family is gifted with artistic flair)
Me being the Valentine's Day lover that I am, I truly appreciated just how much detail this bakery put into the whole experience of buying delicious baked goods at your local bakery up the street.
One of my favorite features of this shop is a small design build they did. Right behind the order counter is a big cut out in the wall that separates the FOH from the BOH. They have an open air window where you as the customer, see the whole family rolling out cookie dough, making the cookies as you are placing or paying for your order.
Kids, cousins, mom, dad, sisters, brothers, aunties, everyone's pouring love into each baked food item from this bakery; laughing and kidding around with each other. As I'm visiting for the first time, more family and friends come in to visit & support the business in the 15 mins I'm here.
I realize I'm not really going into detail here about the sweets just yet but, damn, the amount of love this shop not only has, but gives is literally tremendously special.
I picked up a few items to try: a brownie, Valentine's Day heart shaped cookies, a small heart shaped pound cake, a cupcake, and their new, Ginger Molasses Cookie! That's my favorite one so far! I just picked all of this up late yesterday afternoon so I haven't had a chance to eat each of those things just yet but I've tried 3 cookies already and I'm sold. The ginger molasses was my favorite one I was looking forward to trying, and it really hit the spot. The owner was mentioning how that is a new cookie they just came out with!
As a kid, I grew up with a single mom living with my grandparents. Something that was always kept in my grandparents house were gingerbread cookies made with molasses. The taste and smell is so nostalgic to me personally that I knew I had to grab this new menu item knowing I'd love it! It hit all the feels!
I could easily go on about Arble but I feel like I'm writing a novel verses sticking to the subject at hand of writing a "simple review," lol. I got carried away with just how special my experience was here yesterday.
If you are looking for love this season, it's right here off Dunn Avenue : )
Let Arble warm your hearts and bellies!
