QUESTION

What was your first impression?

THE SCOOP

Camille: What a novel concept—combining delicious gourmet cookies with my favorite candy bars!
Emily: I can’t remember. I was mesmerized by those tasty-looking gift baskets and then my attention drifted to her toasted-coconut-topped delights in the display case.
Evonne: I want one of every cookie, and I’ll take all the decor home with me too!
Kristina: That I had died and gone to heaven, living with the Keebler Elves, who make the best cookies ever.
Michelle: The shop was adorable! I felt like a kid in a candy store! I loved the jars full of gum balls and cute heart-shaped measuring cups hung from the ceiling.
Quinn: Such a cute little shop! There is so much to see, especially all of the adorable packages of cookies and jars of candy.
Stephanie: Such a cute little shop! There is so much to see, especially all of the adorable packages of cookies and jars of candy.
Vanessa: That I finally made it to the cookie shop my husband swears by. I come home to these cookies bags hidden around my house all the time. The shop is decorated really cute—not too many knick knacks, just the right amount.

What did you like the most?

THE SCOOP

Camille: Aside from the obvious I love that it is a family-run business; her kids help out in the store; and her husband manages the marketing.
Emily: Like Camille, I too love that it’s a family-run business but my most favorite thing about Over the Top were the seriously over-the-top toppings on Rachel’s cookies!
Evonne: I loved the S’more cookie the most. Can’t stop craving it!
Kristina: These cookies have candy bars on top of them. It doesn’t get any more awesome than that. It’s basically the food equivalent of The Hoff wearing a Snuggie. Pure perfection. {Kristina, you freakin’ kill me!}
Michelle: I am in love with the S’more cookie. Fifteen seconds in the microwave and you will experience pure heaven! The warmed-up Milky Way cookie was a close second. Can you tell I like ooey gooey bliss?
Quinn: I loved how they use popular candies and candy bars with their cookies and treats. It makes it easy to take a familiar favorite and quickly find a favorite cookie. My kids went nuts over their M&M’s-covered cookie and have been asking for another one almost every day since. I really got a kick out of the chocolate-dipped, candy-covered fortune cookies.
Stephanie: The cookies. Especially the Reese’s peanut butter cup one. They were moist, chewy, and peanut buttery. Basically my cookie dream.
Vanessa: Knowing that if I bring home Over the Top Cookies to my husband I’ll be on his good side for a while. The cookies are very filling; in fact, you’re full after just one. Just the right texture, moist and chewy, and they taste very fresh. With the fun different candy bars inside I really think they are the perfect special occasion treat!

QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

.
THE SCOOP

Camille: I don’t want to think how many calories are in a cookies that heavy that contain a candy bar on top of it! Don’t even want to think about it.
Emily: I wish her cute shop had a bit more seating. I hear in the summer you can sit outdoors, but in the winter it would be nice to have a cup of cocoa and sit and indulge a while. I also wish she had a few “mini” versions of her popular cookies. (A little portion control would help me out a lot! I ate an entire cookie in one sitting!)
Evonne: There was no place to sit and eat my delish cookie.
Kristina: The store was rather small and there was no seating. Which was a bummer, because I would really like to spend my afternoons there getting fatter and fatter.
Michelle: I wish you could get the cookies hot from the oven right at the store. They are good at room temperature, but they are phenomenal warm! {Oooh, Michelle…I LOVE this idea!}
Quinn: There’s no place to sit down and there’s so many things out that I wouldn’t dare take my kids in there, unless it was summer and they could quickly choose a cookie and then we’d run and eat it outside (my kids could wreak havoc in there FAST).
Stephanie: The small storefront. It would have been nice to have a larger area where customers could enjoy their treats.
Vanessa: I don’t want to think how many calories are in a cookies that heavy that contains a candy bar on top of it! Don’t even want to think about it.

QUESTION

Would you visit again?

.
THE SCOOP

Camille: I’m already craving the Reese’s PB cup cookies! I have a feeling I’ll be going back soon…
Emily: Heck, yes! I’ve driven past there at least once since then and would have stopped in if I didn’t have my kids in the car (way too much work). But I’ve been craving that coconut beauty since my first bite.
Evonne: Of course I would go back, because I am pretty addicted to baked goods.
Kristina: This is like asking if Mario Lopez is responsible for all the evil in the world. Of course!
Michelle: I have wanted to multiple times, but every time I have been in the area it was after hours. Darn it!
Quinn: It’s a little far away from my home, so it’s not somewhere I’d frequent, but should they build a location closer to my part of town I’d love to drop in for a sweet treat every once in awhile.
Stephanie: Yes, in fact I have been back. I cannot resist the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup cookies. I may need a cookie intervention.
Vanessa: Yes, my husband and girls sneak on over there. The mini sizes are just right for me, the regular size is just too heavy of a taste! I would send these as gifts as well, really great quality.
