Batch 22 Bakery

Holy smokes these are amazing cookies! Ube dulcey and gingy flavors were unbelievable. Just pop them in the toaster oven for 5 minutes and enjoy. So warm and flavorful!

Batch 22 was doing a pop up at nirvana soul and I happened to be getting coffee there that morning! I've seen their name on Yelp but was always too lazy to place an order so it's nice they have pop ups! They had about 6 flavor options and I was most excited for matcha but they didn't have it that day. The owner recommended the s'mores and the strawberries and cream. You get 5% off if you follow them on Instagram- a few cents lol the total was $6.24. Definitely very pricey for a cookie.We decided to go with the s'mores! We ate it in the car so couldn't heat it up but I'm sure it would've been even better warm. The marshmallow was so good on the cookie and I don't even like marshmallows. There were some salty bits in the cookie not sure if it was unmixed salt or salted caramel? I wasn't a fan of those because I'm not a fan of salty sweets but that's personal preference. Me and my friend split the cookie and I was surprised the cookie wasn't overly sweet or sickening. It's not as sweet or greasy as levains which is nice.Worth a try if you feel like splurging nearly $7/cookie.

Batch 22 has been on my list of places to try for a long time and I finally got around to it. I first found out about it on one of my boba runs at Beastea and immediately put it on my list in anticipation of my next cookie craving. You do have to order with a bit of advanced notice, so I eventually realized that I couldn 't keep waiting around for a craving first and that I 'd have a better time with the cookies on hand.I was browsing the website for flavors that I wanted and I settle on the campfire and the mint chip. I saw on their Instagram page that they had ube dulcey at one point which I 'm so upset at myself for having missed out on. When I went back on to place my order the next day, I was so dismayed to see that campfire pudge had sold out. I then had to recruit a friend to help me sample these cookies just to make sure my personal taste wouldn 't bias the review. I ended up ordering a strawberries 'n cream and a mint chip for pickup the next week.I had a couple of interactions with Amy leading up to pickup day, and she was very responsive every time. Come pickup day, the pickup process was straightforward and seamless. We reheated the cookies according to the instructions on the box in the oven and they smelled so good when we took them out.I 've actually had the Levain Bakery cookie that originally inspired Amy to break into the cookie business, but both at the time and in the present day my opinion that they were not particularly memorable still stands. I 'm a fan of a strong mint flavor in a double chocolate chip cookie like the one Insomnia has, so honestly the mint chip pudge was not to my personal liking. It wasn 't too sweet which I will commend, but it was very subtle in both mint and chocolate flavor compared to what I was originally hoping for. The center of the cookie is very soft and cakey, which I 've come to learn also isn 't my favorite (I 'm more a fan of 50/50 crispy to cakey ratio). I did appreciate how the flavor tasted natural and the cookie as a whole was as good for your health as a cookie can get while still satisfying that cookie craving.The strawberries n ' cream consisted of freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips. Initially I really didn 't want to order this one because I don 't like strawberries in anything or outside of their juicy berry self, so my friend was the judge on this one. In his words, it was good and I liked it. Me personally, I don 't like the styrofoam texture of freeze-dried strawberries. The cookie batter itself helps to prevent the cookie as a whole from being too sweet, and while I didn 't dislike it it 's definitely not the flavor for me.If you 're looking for a discount, new members of the pudge club receive 10% off the first order and you can register on their website. There is also a Yelp check in offer which will get you a free chocolate chip pudge, but I thought it was too weird to get in the vicinity of Amy 's home address to check in so I haven 't redeemed that one yet.

Best cookie i 've ever had. We chose the pudge cookies n ' cream and pudge ube dulcey . No regrets!

It 's hard for me to say no to a giant pudge cookie, especially if they have interesting flavors. A friend got me an ube cookie, and I was so excited that they had this Asian flavor option. It 's got good ube flavor and also toffee and caramelized white chocolate chips. Flavors change seasonally.Definitely warm it up before enjoying it helps the texture a lot.According to their website, they currently do local deliveries Tues/Thurs (free for orders over $8! and pickups on Friday afternoons at Beastea.
