Crumbl Cookies

Highlights
Pricey for basic cookies
Good service noted
Inconsistent treat sizes
Tastes good despite issues

Crumbl Cookies sits in an awkward spot on my list, because the cookies taste good but the experience has some rough edges.

The flavors are solid, but I keep asking myself if the cost matches the product. It's a chain, so I didn't expect much, but the inconsistency is hard to ignore. If you're nearby and craving something sweet, it works, but I wouldn't drive out of my way for it. It's a fine stop, not a destination.
