The Best Desserts In America, According To Christina Tosi - The Infatuation

"“This is one of my favorite best kept secrets. You barely even know it's there because it looks like it's in just a normal West Village apartment building. It's basically a Taiwanese tea house. The founders, one of them worked at Per Se, so you know they're very specific and very intentional. I personally am not a huge tea drinker, but obviously I love dessert. Almost every one of the desserts that they make is a knockout star, but their pineapple linzer cookie for me makes my palate sing. The acidity and sweetness…it's a pineapple jam in this jammy-sammy with a little star cutout. It makes me feel like I'm seeing life in color, and I just bounce up Seventh Avenue to where I need to be next. It's a really calming place, but it's not a whisper of a flavor. I love a sneak attack, and that's what that is.”" - brennan carley

If I could give 100 stars, I would!! The staff here is always so friendly, so patient and so accommodating! Our cakes, from the way they look to the way they taste, always exceed our expectations. One of my kiddos has food allergies, and the level of care we receive when we place an order is truly top notch… and as a busy mom with a bunch of littles, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate their curbside pick up option!! So grateful for the staff at Great American Cookie Co! Appreciate their passion for pleasing, and their willingness to work with their customers so very much!! Shop local, y’all!!

Our son got married in New Orleans recently. He doesn't enjoy traditional cakes and always wanted cookie cakes growing up. I wanted to bring that element to the Rehearsal Dinner. I worked with the owner to create a suitable cookie cake. Jason was great to work with, made the process easy and even delivered the cake to the restaurant for us. Great experience.

Sept 2022 updated: We returned and they were open so we bought the buy 5, get 1 free cookies. The strawberry cookies were a little hard. My daughter enjoyed the cookies and cream (they were a little smaller than they should've been) and my favorite was snickerdoodle. Aug 2022 Full disclosure: we never placed an order... While walking around the outlet before taking a historical boat tour, we stopped at this location to checkout the flavors. We inquired about their closing time... the man said 8 but the woman corrected him saying 7. We couldn't take food on the boat so we said we would come back. We did. She was counting the register around 4:30pm and all of the cookies were gone. I asked if they were closed and she nodded yes as she was talking on the phone. We were completely disappointed. If we get to come back and they're open, I'll update my review.

I traveled out of town to give my daughter a NOLA (Saints) experience for her 8th birthday! The owner and team at this location was efficient and completed my order in a timely manner! They literally saved the day as I was not able to travel with a cake! Thanks!

I love ordering from the Riverwalk Great American Cookies! They make the process so incredibly simple. The cakes are always perfect and delicious. I won't go anywhere else. They are the best!

Asked for a hello kitty design at the bottom and WASN’T placed on there. I paid extra for it and it wasn’t in there so I had to go back and get it. Also the word valentines was smushed together as they didn’t take into account how “big” the word is. It’s didn’t even have a question mark on it.

The BEST service for the BEST cake for my brother getting into med school! Jason, the manager, spoke with me on the phone to form the perfect cake, then hand delivered it to him first thing in the morning so he could get it before work, as I live out of state. I’m so impressed with this place and Jason, highly recommend to anyone looking for a custom cake!

I love Great American Cookies. I am actually eating one right now as I am writing this review. We walked up to this location and wanted to order some. A young African American man was alone behind the counter. The conversation goes like this: Us: We asked for Chocolate Chip. He asked: which ones? Us chocolate chip right there (pointing to the tray in the window with chocolate chip) Him: with m&m? Us: no, just the chocolate chip. Him: so you want m&m or no? Us: just the plain chocolate chip right there (pointing at the tray) Him: I don’t know what you’re pointing to, I can’t see it. We just left. I am sure someone there interviews this man before putting him behind the counter. I do feel sad for him because he will meetup with the wrong person one day and they won’t just ignore him & leave.

Located in the outlet mall. I always order the double decker cookie because I love the icing! Well I took one bite and the cookie was so hard it crumbled! They were old! I have never had that happen when ordering from this company at other locations. Only good thing was the icing but that isn't worth $5! Prices were overpriced too! Also this particular location was very sloppy! All of the items in the food case were not esthetically pleasing! The cookies were half filled with icing and the brownies were oddly cut and messy looking. Not the typical and I'm sure not what the company would want! Don't recommend!

Love this place so much I circled back and grabbed more cookies. The Strawberry crinkle are my favorites. Great prices and friendly service. This is the perfect snack while you're shopping.

ITS IN THE MALL. Parking at this particular mall is a complete pain in the ass (not worth it) but the cookies are good

This location was recommended by my sister-in-law after a failed attempt at another location. Jason , the owner, was remarkable! Amazing customer service, including free delivery and convenient payment through Venmo! I will definitely recommend to others and use them again.

Beautiful cake and the owner and cake decorator went above and beyond for me by coordinating and making a cake delivery after hours. I'll be using them again.
