  A chocolate cookie sandwich with cream cheese icing was $2.50, two Pokemon shortbread cookies (about the size of a small palm) + one bigger shortbread cookie (iced) came up to $6.
  
  The shortbread cookies were bland and the icing was waaaaaaay too sweet (and I LOVE sweet things). My partner liked the cookie sandwich and I thought it was better than the shortbread cookies, but not by much. It was the same sweet icing with a HINT of cream cheese and the chocolate cookie was mostly air.
  
  The store is tiny, cute, bright and clean with seating out front and possibly on the side? But they have a bookcase right when you walk in with a sign that says the items on the shelves are books/things by local artists and to "otherwise don't handle", which kind of gave me a weird vibe. The girl at the register had a sweet temperament and we even witnessed her running out to give a customer the change they left (meant for a tip); I appreciate her honesty.
  
  I was tempted to give it a 4 for the place itself and the service, but a 3 for the cookies. When my partner offered to go again to help make the decision and I knew I didn't want to go back, I had to go with the 3. I don't usually have buyer's remorse with food because it usually tastes good enough to make it worth the try; I was very disappointed when it didn't assuage my baked goods craving that day :/
