Spotted the XL Cookie on a reel and had to check it out! The cookie is huge, warm (baked fresh) and absolutely delicious. Also tried the profiteroles — flaky, creamy, and a total win. The staff were super warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even sweeter. The service is very European-style i.e no one’s rushing you out the door, which made the whole experience feel extra cozy. - Vidhi Patel
