“There are dessert shops… and then there are places that feel like they’ve legally weaponized sugar. This establishment falls firmly into the latter category.

Let’s begin with a public service announcement: if you have a complicated relationship with sugar, self-control, or buttons on your pants, you may want to approach with a strategy—or at the very least, a loose waistband. This is not a place you “try.” This is a place you accidentally develop a weekly relationship with. One visit turns into two, two turns into “they know my order,” and suddenly you’re justifying dessert like it’s a necessary life supplement.

The cookies themselves? Enormous. Not “oh that’s a big cookie,” no—these are the kind of cookies that make regular cookies look like they skipped leg day. Each one sits there in the box like it knows exactly what it’s doing to you. Confident. Unbothered. Slightly judging you, but also inviting you closer. Finishing one feels less like eating a dessert and more like completing a personal challenge that no one asked you to attempt—but you’re committed now.

And the flavor rotation? That’s where things get borderline diabolical. Every week, a new lineup appears like a carefully curated trap. Just when you think you’ve built resistance—boom, something new, something bold, something that sounds like it shouldn’t work but absolutely does. It’s the kind of menu that makes you stand there longer than you should, pretending to evaluate, when in reality you’ve already decided you’re getting more than you planned. It’s not variety—it’s strategic temptation.

Now let’s talk about the texture and consistency, because this is where the operation really flexes. These cookies are thick, rich, and engineered with the precision of something that absolutely did not happen by accident. Soft in places, structured in others—like they hired an architect who specializes in emotional damage. Every bite feels intentional. Suspiciously intentional. To the point where you start wondering if there’s a secret ingredient that isn’t listed but is definitely doing some heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Milk—let’s address it—is not a suggestion. It is a requirement. These cookies demand balance, and without some form of liquid backup, you’re essentially going into a heavyweight match untrained. Whether it’s dairy or a substitute, you will need something to keep the experience from escalating into a full-blown “I made a mistake” moment halfway through.

And yet, despite the chaos and sheer indulgence of it all, there is a consistent level of quality that deserves real credit. Every cookie looks like it belongs in a display case. Every box feels like it was packed with purpose. There’s pride here, even if it’s wrapped in a slightly mischievous delivery system.

At the end of the day, this place is not pretending to be healthy, balanced, or even remotely subtle. It knows exactly what it is—and it leans all the way in. It’s indulgent, it’s excessive, it’s a little bit ridiculous… and that’s precisely why it works.

You don’t go here because you need a cookie. You go here because, for a brief moment, you’ve decided that self-control is more of a guideline than a rule—and honestly, that might be the most honest decision you make all week.“

“Cool burger joint - locally owned with fast friendly service. Food was good and fresh. Very clean dining area. Large menu selection with all kinds of ice cream treats. Plan to have dinner again while visiting Minot.“

“Went in this evening to treat the kiddos ☺ it was absolutely by far the best experience and great customer service! The young ladies working were in the best spirit! The assistant manager (kiki ) was there and we couldnt have been more pleased with this visit! We will certainly being going back 🥰“

“Today was a better service.. especially the chocolate strawberry blizzard ..I ordered to share with my granddaughter...looks like it is getting renovated in the sitting area .. curtain was blocking the seating area .young lady employee I asked about it..she says we don't know when it's going to be back open. She had unlocked the bathroom for me but scared a poor teen girl in there..she was with another young lady..younger then her..I immediately apologized and closed the door...they should've knocked and made sure before unlocking the door for a customer. I was embarrassed as well..
I really enjoy n Broadway by the college or across from the hospital...“
