For Christmas, Theo got me a gift card to Crumbl Cookies, which specializes in fresh-baked cookies. Crumbl is a franchise company that started in Utah in 2017 and rapidly expanded during the pandemic. There have been mixed reviews about the company, but here was my experience when I recently visited them.
The store was bright and clean. There were eight people working behind the counter; some were waiting on customers, some were mixing and baking, and some were filling orders. Our order was taken and filled with little waiting. The menu featured seven different kinds of cookies and changes weekly. The cookies are big, thick, and chewy; each was about 5" across and weighed about 1/4 lb. As you might guess, they weren't cheap, but not too bad when you compare them with other bakery items. We got four cookies for about $16.

As for the taste, we all thought they were very good and were sorry when they were gone. However, they were big enough that they lasted a few days because a whole cookie was too much for one setting. (Well, I could have eaten a whole one at once, but I would have been on sugar overload.)

Would we go back? Yes, especially since I still have some money left on my card. But I would also go back and spend my own money on a special treat or occasion.

Thanks, Theo, for the gift. It's one that I probably wouldn't have gotten for myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Until next time...
Note: I probably should have washed off the counter before taking pictures. Oh, well. I can't do them over because the cookies are gone. :)
