“Their selection of cookies, cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and bars are unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Two Fat Cookies has options for everyone, even people with dietary restrictions providing vegan and gluten free options.”
“My favorite pastry is a tie between the OMG Brownie and the mini Key Lime Tart however the whole bakery is a close runner up. The OMG brownie is a brownie, oreo, and chocolate chip cookie all in one, sometimes I add a scoop of peanut butter to the top!”
