Crave Cookie, a popular cookie small business known for its rotating weekly flavors, has made its way to Ballwin, bringing a sweet treat to the local community. Similar to Crumbl Cookie, Crave Cookie offers six new cookie flavors every week. From “KitKat Cookies and Cream” to the “Flintstones ft. Fruity Pebbles,” there’s always something new to try. The cookies are based around New York style cookies, which are big, rich and gooey with a crunchy exterior. The business opened in late December of last year, and announced the grand opening of their new location via Instagram, where one can find daily updates, weekly flavors and deals for an economic cookie.
“I like the cookies, don’t get me wrong, but the dirty sodas are my favorite part, every time I have been there has been a long line but it’s always been well worth it,” junior Tyler Armsby said.
But it’s not just about the cookies. Crave Cookie also sells “dirty sodas,” a drink that combines sodas with cream and several different flavor options which allow for endless flavoring combinations. These drinks are the perfect complement to the cookies and are quickly becoming a favorite among consumers. The new Ballwin location has already become a popular spot for teens and foodies alike, offering a cozy atmosphere for friends and families to hang out while enjoying their sweet treats. With friendly staff and a constantly changing menu, Crave Cookie is quickly becoming a hit in the area. While there aren’t any other locations in Missouri, there are 41 around the country, in states such Texas, Arizona and Pennsylvania, just to name a few. The business is hoping to expand even further from their original location in California. Whether one is a cookie lover or just looking for something new to try, Crave Cookie is definitely worth checking out.
“A few friends and I went back when it first opened,” junior Isabelle Wilkie said. “I saw it on TikTok and wanted to give it a try, I liked it, it kind of reminded me of Crumbl Cookie.”
