It said, “NEW, NEW, NEW Strawberry Shortcake Cookie,” how could I not try it? A sugar dusted crunchy top with dried strawberries and a biscuit like cookie. I was thinking, “this might be the ultimate summer cookie!” Read More »

My favorite flavor of gelato or ice cream is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and I am always on the hunt for the best brand! When I walked into the Ciao Bella shop down in the World Financial Center my eyes and stomach jumped out of my body! It looked so good, millions of chips swimming in a sea of vanilla with huge chunks of chocolate chip dough! Read More »

ABC Kitchen

On the menu it’s called the “Sundae,” it should be called “Brilliance in a Bowl.” Walk if not run to ABC Kitchen for dessert, their entire dessert menu perhaps. I sat at the bar in disbelief! How could I choose?? The “sundae”, chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting, vanilla chip ice cream cake, cobbler, pie……STOP IT RIGHT NOW! HOW IS A GIRL SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE! Read More »

GETTING TO KNOW A PASTRY CHEF…
I don’t know about you, but I have always wanted to pick the brain of a real pastry chef in New York City. I always wondered, “What’s their dessert life outside of the restaurant? Do they like Oreos dunked in milk like the rest of the cookie eating world?!” When Kimberly agreed to a JustDesserts Q&A, Read More »

Blue Bottle Coffee
Various Locations throughout San Francisco
Saffron Vanilla Snickerdoodle Cookie
The most chewy, soft, flavorful snickerdoodle cookie I have ever had! Blue Bottle Coffee is incredible in every way, shape, and form. Their coffee is filtered and DELICIOUS, and they serve little treats and sandwiches that compliment any latte or espresso! This particular morning, I was enjoying a Vanilla Soy Latte. To accompany this creamy beverage, I chose the snickerdoodle cookie. It was LOVE AT FIRST BITE! This cookie was cake-like, the softest cookie I have ever had. The saffron vanilla flavor burst inside my mouth, adding depth to the traditional cinnamon sugar flavor of “other” snickerdoodles. I don’t usually do dessert for breakfast but this was absolutely perfect! xoxoBlondie
