Paris Cafe: The Crumbling Cookie


Working from home, I couldn't think of something to eat, I was tired of cereal, and my kitchen had all sorts of food that would make strange combos that may or may not be digestible. Hungry, I ventured out for something to eat.

In my a'venturing, I happened upon Paris Cafe, a cute little place tucked away right by Pearl's (which has fantastic buffalo burgers). There, I was delighted by the warmth of the shop (literal warmth - my apartment's freezing!) and the moderate prices on the board. Delighted to be warming my rather chilly bones, I settled in for a turkey sandwich and chocolate chip cookie.

The turkey could have used some cucumber and a little less mayo. The cookie? Well, it would have helped if it would keep its shape... The body of the cookie was dry and hard. It also had the tendency to crumble with every bite, sending chunks of cookie pelting down. It was loaded with chips as if to make up for the dough's lack of character and flavor, and the overall texture bordered on crumbling crunchiness.

The people there were sweet, but I'm afraid I can't say the same for the cookie.

The hunt goes on.
