EPIC DESSERTS

B C★★★★★a year ago

Upon arriving in Somerville, I was fortunate to find street parking directly in front of the store. I quickly ran inside to place my order. After a lovely chat with the friendly employee, I selected the following specialty cookies: Strawberry Cheesecake, Lava Love, Linzer, and Dark Chocolate Pistachio. Once home, I shared the cookies with my husband, and here’s our take on them—though it's worth noting that all of them were absolutely delicious! Our top pick was the Dark Chocolate Pistachio. The balance of dark chocolate chunks and pistachios was perfect, with generous portions of both. The dark chocolate wasn’t overly sweet, making it an ideal complement to the salty pistachios—just the right combination of flavors. In second place were the Lava Love and Linzer cookies. For those who love dark chocolate, Lava Love is a must-try! While in the store, I asked which was sweeter, the Lava Love or the Death by Chocolate. The employee mentioned that Death by Chocolate is the sweeter option. Last but certainly not least was the Strawberry Cheesecake cookie. The sugar cookie base, made with strawberry juice, was nice, but the real standout was the cheesecake topping. It had a subtle strawberry flavor, though I personally would have liked the strawberry taste to be a bit more pronounced to elevate the cookie further. Still, it was a great cookie overall—just my personal preference for a stronger flavor. Quick tip: If you’d like to save the cookies for a few more days, you can freeze them or store them in the refrigerator. To reheat, simply take them out, place them on parchment paper, and microwave on half power for about 20 seconds. Alternatively, you can use a toaster oven set to 350°F and bake for approximately 10 minutes. If you’re ever in the Somerville area, this place is a definite must-visit. They offer a wide range of treats, including ice cream (though not made in-house), classic and specialty cookies, custom cakes, milkshakes, and more.

First of all, the decorations here are great! Drawings of cartoons that any kid will be excited to see. The food is great too. A large variety of cupcakes and cookies. The cookies can be served warm and are soft and delicious. The service was friendly and fast. My only complaint is that they don't have the option to just get a fresh made ice cream cookie sandwich. They charge you for the cookie, then charge for thr ice cream. I'm sure the customers would love to have the option to get a cookie sandwich without being charged for 2 items. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

Amazingly good cookies! Upon walking into the store, you are met with the pleasant aroma of freshly baked goods. You immediately get excited to see what they have. All cookies are laid out in the clear cabinet as well as the menu listing the names of the cookies. I wish they also had a description laid out somewhere so we can read what each cookie was. It would have been a bit easier to order instead of asking them what each one was. But despite this one thing, my overall experience was great. The attendant was very helpful and took her time explaining what each cookie was. We ended up ordering the lava love, love monster, dark chocolate pistachio, and strawberry cheesecake. The cookies were warm and gooey and just perfection. We could not wait until we got home to try them out so we took a nibble of each when we got back to the car. The lava love had a gooey runny chocolate center which is great for chocolate lovers. The love monster was also good but i ended up removing the red candy hearts as I found them too sweet. Lastly, our 2 favorite ones, the strawberry cheesecake and the dark chocolate pistachio. The bits of cheesecake and the strawberry icing was fantastic and went perfectly. The dark chocolate pistachio went amazing well together. I would definately get these 2 cookies again. I am eager to go back and try their other flavors. In regards to parking, it is not bad at all. There are plenty of street metered parking or metered parking lots. Parking fee is $.50 per hour, which is quite affordable compared to other cities.

Definitely Epic! Really really good cookies that deserve the name Epic Cookies! I ordered the chocolate chip cookies and wow! They are warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - the way a perfect chocolate chip should be. The cookie melts in your mouth and taste really really good! I highly recommend trying this location! The cookies are great and the staff was very friendly too!

I absolutely adore their chocolate cookies; they're simply the best! While the other options were decent, the brownies caught my eye, though unfortunately, we missed the chance to sample them on our last visit. The store has a charming ambiance, and there are plenty of other delightful treats to choose from. My only qualm is their rather limited cookie selection, and it's truly disappointing when they run out of even those few choices available.
