Crumbl Cookies review #86: Cookies & Cream Cake ft Oreo - visited January 27, 2025
From this week's menu, these are the ones I've already tried and reviewed:
Macadamia Nut,
Banana Bread and
Lemon Poppyseed. The only one that interested me that I hadn't tried before, possibly because it was new on the menu, was the Cookies & Cream ft Oreo. Going in, I expected this would be a nice chocolate cake (I prefer Crumbl's mini chocolate cakes to their chocolate cookies) with the added bonus of Oreos.
And....turns out I was right. It
is a nice chocolate cake, sandwiched and topped with chocolate ganache and Oreo cream cheese frosting. Not sure I could rave about it other than it's a nice chocolate cake. It didn't send me into orbit or anything. It's just a good cake, cakey in texture and not that overwhelmingly chocolate like their chocolate cookies tend to be.
The chocolate ganache seemed more like a thin milk chocolate frosting than the rich creaminess of a dark chocolate ganache. Which I actually preferred as I'm more of a milk chocolate fan than a dark chocolate one. I also didn't mind the Oreo cream cheese frosting. Despite that, this didn't strike me as a cookies and cream cake so much as a chocolate cake with ganache and cream cheese frosting. If they wanted this to be more cookies and cream-ish, I'd add some chopped up Oreos to the cake batter and make them more chunky bits in the frosting.
It's got a $1.49 surcharge on top of the regular single cookie price. There are some cakes that Crumbl makes that I think would be worth the surcharge. Not sure this was special enough to warrant the extra $1.49 but this goes into the category of "glad I tried it, don't need to get again". Not because it was bad but there are other things to try that might be more than just "okay" and I'd rather spend my calories on finding those.
