When I was last in Scottsdale, Arizona, my friend Emily introduced me to Crumbl Cookies. Over the years I lived in Gainesville, I was spoiled by Midnight Cookies’ big, warm cookies with decadent flavors, and Crumbl brought just that thing back into my life. The cookies were so good, when Liz and I got to Colorado, I insisted we fit in a Crumbl visit in between our snow tubing and ice castle-ing.
What you need to know about Crumbl Cookies:
- Their first store opened in Logan, Utah (that’s about an hour outside Salt Lake City) in 2017. Founded by two cousins, they’ve only been around for five years, but they’re quickly taking the cookie world by storm.
- Their menu rotates each week. I have found the best way to know what they’re currently offering is to check out the Crumbl Cookies Instagram, which provides great detail on what each of the flavors involves. Don’t worry – you can always get their award-winning milk chocolate chip cookie and usually get the chilled pink sugar cookie.
- They also serve ice cream. This rolled out in 2020 after my first visits, but you can grab some Crumbl Cream with your Crumbl Cookies! This also comes in a variety of flavors, so you’ll have plenty of options to try.
- Everything comes in a pink box. This may give you Voodoo Doughnut vibes, and you’re not wrong. But as our friends at VD would say, “Good things come in pink boxes.” The Crumbl 4-pack box is the most popular, but you can also get a 6-pack or 12-pack.
Unfortunately, when I got home from my trip, I found that the closest Crumbl was about an hour away from me, so it wasn’t a treat I’d be indulging in often. That is… until now. Crumbl has been expanding rapidly across the US, and there are now several locations in the Tampa Bay area, including:
- Seminole
- Clearwater
- Brandon
- Lutz
- Sarasota
Last weekend, Tyler and I made a trip to the Clearwater location, which opened just in the last few months. We picked up a 4-pack with the classic cookies – milk chocolate chip and chilled pink sugar – as well as some of their Valentine’s flavors – chocolate caramel and sugar featuring Mother’s Cookies’ X’s & O’s™ Valentine’s Day Cookies. It was the perfect way to indulge in between our park visits!
