MBCD is not only bigger than you thought it would be inside, it’s delightfully as good as you want your local cookie dough and ice cream shop to be. More than anything, the service here is really stands out because this is a dessert place that takes a little more explaining than your normal ice cream shop. After having Doughp (born in SF, made famous in Las Vegas) a while back, I started seeing more of these cookie dough places pop up around the country. Denver, being the very mediocre-to-just-OK food city that it is, is just starting to get in the cookie dough shop game, five years after the coasts did. While that’s annoying, that’s the state of the Denver food scene, but I’m happy that Mixing Bowl is representing the movement in a great way. Cookie dough on its own is really, really dense. By the end of a small cup, if you’re like most people, you’ve had enough. The best part about Mixing Bowl is that they also have a delicious selection of ice cream flavors to go with your cookie dough. Mixing good ice cream with good cookie dough makes for a great dessert, and it makes for a much better experience. Everyone working there is happy to let you sample flavors, and they’re super helpful to help you figure it out if you’re there for the first time. It’s clean. The combos are plentiful. The people are nice. This is such a great addition to this section of Parker Road, and it’s a fun place to get a break from your typical dessert!

Cookie Dough Dreams – Menu with Prices – 124 E Magnolia Blvd, Burbank

My 3 year old son and I were looking to kill some time one day while waiting to pick up my daughter from a birthday party and after getting a few things at Cost Plus in the mall, we headed out and I remembered seeing the sign for Cookie Dough Dreams while we were driving. We walked in and it really is a colorful and kid friendly space. My son kept thinking we were getting ice cream as the shop is set up similar to a Cold Stone or Baskin Robbins and I reminded him that this was all cookie dough in the bins and not ice cream. He selected the s’mores cookie dough with Reeses Pieces and some other mix in. The girl scooped out the cookie dough (like an ice cream shop) and mixed in the toppings and put it into the cup. I was reading that they use fresh ingredients and the cookie dough is safe to eat while the dessert was being prepared. They have a variety of flavors and then special desserts they can create. Nothing sounded particularly tempting to me. We paid (I’d say borderline pricy for what you get) and then sat down to enjoy the cookie dough. My 3 year old loved it and he polished off the whole thing except the few bites I had in between. It does taste good, and I do love cookie dough so I was happy about that but didn’t really feel the s’more flavor as we had mixed in some other things. Overall, an interesting and tasty idea. A place I’d come infrequently, but a good idea for a ‘special treat’ place with the kids. Even if the ingredients are ‘fresh’ this is by no means a healthy eating option.

Downtown Dough Chattanooga – Menu with Prices – 100 Market St, Chattanooga

Fabulous. As a resident Chattanoogan with a big sweet tooth I have tried almost every desert place in Chatt and can say that the new Downtown Dough is up there with the best of them. The woman serving us (owner possibly?) was very kind and helpful. She told us about how the cookie dough is made and what makes it different from other competitions like the cookie dough store on northshore. The desserts itself were delicious. They tasted like actual cookie dough, not just some amalgamation that’s scooped into an ice cream cup. The dough was COLD, authentic, and tasted like something straight from my mom’s kitchen. I really hope this business takes off and has a successful run here in Chatt. It felt like I was at an old time fudge shop at the boardwalk but with the previously forbidden raw cookie dough as the main attraction. I’m also excited to see they have coffee, drinks, and banana popsicles which I’ll have to go back for! tl;dr best cookie dough place in chattanooga, if you are caught up in the “craze” that’s the no bake cookie dough and left feeling unsatisfied you will find that satisfaction here

Hershey’s Ice Cream – Menu with Prices – 301 S Cameron St, Harrisburg

My wife and I bought Hershey’s Ice Cream Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Premium Ice Cream from a local Shop n Save, hoping for a really good ice cream night for our family. We were very disappointed. After 4 bowls of ice cream not one chunk of cookie dough was found. After 2 more bowls still no cookie dough and after finishing the carton no cookie dough to be found at all and about 10 chocolate chips were consumed. The ice cream did have a good flavor and consistency. We expected much more from a quality company like Hershey’s.

The Dough Shoppe – Menu with Prices – 844 Willard Dr #2, Green Bay

So much potential. The cookie dough is really good. They have a small selection. The store is big and white. There is potential here. During the non-snow months, they also have a trailer they go to different events to also sell their cookie dough. The pricing is a little high for what you get. But there is potential here. Could do cooked cookie shells to then put the cookie dough in. Save money on a little less packaging and customer eats everything. With the size of the space, how about selling complementary items to cookie dough. Also, the exterior could use better/bigger signs. Being in a small strip mall marketing needs to be the beacon. The potential is there. Keep moving forward. I’ll be back.

The Bigg Chill – Menu with Prices – 10850 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles

Found this place through yelp and was so excited to try this place because lately I’m obsessed with cookie dough!! They have so much variety of cookie dough flavors so I had to go! The place is super retro neon which is super cute. The owner is super nice and let us sample different flavors of the frozen yogurt which was not bad I like the classic vanilla and the cookie butter. I ordered a small size cup, you can have two yogurt flavors but I only chose classic vanilla. For toppings you have to pay extra. 2$ for 3 toppings I chose the chocolate chip cookie dough, peanut cookie dough and crushed Oreos. Sadly I was pretty disappointed that they don’t offer samples for the cookie dough, but other places do. My boyfriend ordered the espresso frozen yogurt with sugar cookie dough, mint chips and cheesecake bits. I was very disappointed with the cookie dough! The quality was really bad the cookie dough was not smooth at all and it tasted old and churchy not because of the chocolate chip. The peanut cookie dough was worst the peanuts were really stale. I did not like their cookie dough at all I just ate the frozen yogurt with the crushed Oreos. They should let customers to try the cookie dough before getting it. What made me threw the rest of my ice cream away was when the froyo was starting to melt, I saw a separation of the froyo and watery yellow liquid it was gross. The price was also disappointing as well for 2 smallest container of frozen yogurt with toppings is $14, 7$ each. It is overpriced for the bad quality I’m getting. I don’t think I will be coming bad. 2 stars because the service was pretty good.

Yum Creamery – Menu with Prices – 803 Americana Way, Glendale

This review is long overdue but I visited this shop during the Mrs. Maisel promo when several businesses offered certain items priced like what it used to be in the 50s. This shop is located in the Americana where I went hoping to grab some major deals. I was lucky enough to get something from two other establishments because most of the stores had very limited quantities. I was almost ready to give up but still tried this store. Major props to the employees who accepted customers until the end of the promotion period when everyone else stopped already. Three people were working hard nonstop mixing and rolling ice cream for a long line of customers. They were offering the Cookie Monster with Oreos mixed in with vanilla ice cream. In other words, it turned to be a cookie n cream kind of rolled ice cream. Staff didn’t even skimmed on the quantity as the bowl was full to the brim.

Street Sweets 1969 LLC – Menu with Prices – 4106 State St, Salem

I was so excited to try this food truck. Their menu looked extensive and delicious, with quite a few typos but the food still was appealing! What caught my eye was that they have edible cookie dough, that’s something I’ve never had before that doesn’t have a salmonella warning lol. I was definitely going to buy some and my husband was going to get a shake. Before we ordered, there was about 3 flavors of cookie doughs, one including a flavor of cookie I had never heard before so I had asked the server/attendant if they gave samples or could let me try it, she literally scoffed at me and said “Well, my cookie dough tastes like any other cookie dough.” If you can’t read it with attitude, definitely imagine it because she had a LOAD of it. I assume she was the manager or owner because I then explained I had never heard of the kind of cookie dough and she said “Well, it’s like a sugar cookie. It’s my snickerdoodle recipe with sprinkles. So, that’s what it tastes like.” 3 sentences dripping with attitude and facial expressions that were attempting to make me feel stupid. I walked away right after, we will never give these people our money.

3B Ice Cream (Derry St.) – Menu with Prices – 4701 Derry St, Harrisburg

Get the Mocha Cookie. One of the best flavors of ice cream we’ve ever had. My favorite flavor at the Penn State creamery is espresso fudge pie, but the problem is that they never have it! So this is the closest thing I’ve ever found to that, and it may be even better. It reminds me of the Tonight Dough from Ben and Jerry’s, my other favorite. It’ll be a struggle to get through the last few bites because the servings are so generous but it’ll all be worth it. Very quaint and cute interior. We will be coming back in the summer to sit on the patio. An added bonus is that you’re never confused by their flavors because, unlike any other ice cream place I’ve ever been to, they actually give descriptions of what makes up some of their more original flavors. You won’t have to keep asking the server “what’s in the _____?”

Sugar Mama’s Ice Cream – Menu with Prices – 11208 Lee Hwy, Fairfax

One of the best, ice cream shops that make amazing homemade ice cream!! (: I can tell it’s purely homemade because it’s not too sugary like most store brand ones are. As a sweet tooth lover, it’s not overloaded with sugar that can give me a sugar coma if I eat too much haha! If I don’t have control over myself, I will actually eat the whole pint they sell lol. The flavors I tried so far were: -Cookie Dough -Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip -Espresso Chip I wanted to try Peanut Butter Cup, but they always seem to sell out fast ): All those 3 flavors were DELICIOUS. I love, love, LOVE that it has the baking chocolate chips in its whole form, instead of shredded/chopped up bits of chip. The slight, frozen crunch of chips are just so satisfying~ First off, Black Raspberry was slighty berry fruity, but it was like eating a sweet, berry yogurt (just not sour!). I can definitely taste the creamy milk in the ice cream. Just the right amount of sugar they put in! Not super sweet at all. With the Cookie Dough, I am a BIG fan of the cookie dough pieces in my ice cream. The dough pieces were surprisingly not sweet at all either. It just felt like eating a piece of fresh, homemade cookie, not a sugar cube haha. It was also soft enough to let it melt in your mouth, kind of feeling. The Espresso Chip.. not going to lie, is the best one I have tried. Espresso shouldn’t be too strong or overly sweet (that’s not espresso then….?) when mixed with ice cream. It was on point!! I love coffee. Espresso had the right amount of milk added to it, along with a tiny, slight bit of bitterness to it. Pretty much like coffee with milk with a dash of sugar (: YUM!!! Overall, these ice cream flavors they sell are great for non-sweet lovers, or even older people. I like stocking up from this store rather than buying, sugary and artificially flavored ice creams at the local stores. God knows what other bad stuff they put in those store bought ones…

Coffeezaun Espresso – Menu with Prices – 4518 N Pearl St, Tacoma

This place is great! I highly recommend. Most original drink menu I’ve seen in years. My husband’s coffee was spot-on and my applr pear iced tea was refreshing! I can’t wait to go back and try something else. Service was also good, young woman at the window was friendly and accommodating. Gluten free and vegan options for snacks, all alternative/milk subs available too. My only complaint is the cookie dough bar we ordered. The name “cookie dough bar” made me think it would have chunks of cookie dough in it, or on top of it. In fact the picture posted on the menu looked gooey and delicious. What we recieved was a dry chocolate chip cookie bar, no dough, not even under-baked to give it that dough-ish quality. I don’t think all the pastries would be this disappointing because I could see them through the window and they looked authentic. The overall experience was good so I’ll be back to try again with the treats.

High Point Creamery – Menu with Prices – 2669 Larimer St, Denver

I love all things ice cream and I really do like myself a good scoop of real ice cream. I came across this place during my last visit to Denver and this was one of the best places I visited during that trip. So, it was only obvious that I wanted to go back here again during my visit to Denver this time. High point creamery is a local ice cream spot, that has multiple outlets and also a food truck. I visited their Denver Central Market location, mainly because they carry the ice queen, which is a donut (kouign Amann) ice cream sandwich that was created in partnership with the Izzio bakery, situated across the high point creamery stall in the Denver central market. I love the fact that they carry very unusual flavor combos that one might not think (um, beetroot anyone?) of in ice cream and yet they make it work wonderfully. They also have seasonal-rotational flavors. I got myself a scoop of tin-whiskey ice cream with pistachio brittles and it was awesome! They also have a very well labeled menu, that includes gluten-free and vegan flavors as well. If you are adventurous and hungry enough, give their ice cream flight a try and you will not be disappointed. I would highly recommend visiting this place if you are a sucker for good ice cream.

Sweet Charlie’s Menu with Prices 630 Crane Creek Dr #103, Augusta

I was so happy to find a dessert shop that had a dairy-free option! They have several bases for their rolled ice cream, one of which is vegan/non-dairy. The only flavor option that didn’t include chocolate or something else dairy was cinnamon toast crunch, so we tried that. I would have loved to try it in a donut sandwich, but that’s also dairy so we got it in a cup. They rolled it up and then let us choose toppings – we asked for extra cinnamon toast crunch (not on the menu but since it was part of our dessert they were happy to), strawberries, honey, and marshmallows. Marshmallows can be added plain or roasted, so we opted for roasted. It’s actually just one large marshmallow on a stick that is hand-roasted and added to the bowl, but still tasty and makes for a nice presentation. I’m not sure what the vegan base is – I can usually tell when something is almond or coconut based, since those flavors are really strong – but this just tasted like normal ice cream! I’d love to know what it was because it was amazing!
