Dirty Cookie

2493 Park Ave, Tustin, CA 92782

The Dirty Cookie has brought to its consumers an innovation many have dreamed of: cookie and milk in one product of zero waste- with the exceptions of a few dropped crumbs. A customer favorite, the chocolate chip cookie shot with vanilla cream filling arrives as a warm, soft cookie lined by a thin layer of chocolate. Overall, the flavor of the cookie and sweet cream inside was generic; however, the overall concept of the cookie shot is commendable.

Another popular choice is the store’s “split decision” featuring a half chocolate chip, half Oreo flavored cookie with vanilla cream filling. The oreo flavor was not exactly enjoyable as the sweetness seemed to overwhelm the other flavors.

The price itself is also something that draws many people who walk past the store: the base price of the basic cookie shot and filling is $4.50. Other add-ons include a character on the cup or special flavor charged extra.

The Dirty Cookie is a store that would be good for an occasional treat for anyone who would like to try the concept.
