Crumbl Cookies review #104: Key Lime Pie Cookie and Red Velvet Cookies and Cream Cookie (test cookie), visited March 21, 2026
I am woefully behind on blog posts so this will be a quick one. Partly because I didn't actually eat the Key Lime Pie cookie myself. I bought it for my niece who loves all things key lime so I'm trusting to her taste buds for this part of the review.
She liked it well enough but felt it need more key lime flavor. That tracks with past citrus-flavored type of cookies that Crumbl's done. So I guess this wasn't as zesty as Crumbl's description marketed.

I did try the Red Velvet Cookies & Cream Cookie myself and am glad the Crumbl closest to me appears to be a test store. This was the test cookie for the week they had the key lime pie cookie. As you can see from the pictures, this appeared to be a red velvet cookie with white chocolate chips inside the dough, melted white chocolate drizzled on top and Oreo cookie crumbs garnished on top.

I thought this was pretty good. In Crumbl style, it was thick and chewy. And you know me, I prefer cookies that aren't buried in overly sweet frosting so the drizzle worked fine for me.
I can't say I found this particularly spectacular though. It wasn't overwhelmingly chocolaty (a plus) but it also didn't stick out in memory as something I have to get again. It was fine, I'm glad I tried it. But my jaded taste buds when it comes to Crumbl cookies these days remain jaded. I feel like I'm riding mostly on nostalgia when it comes to Crumbl. I keep trying it in the hopes of capturing the earlier hype I felt about it but keep missing that mark. I guess 100+ reviews and more than 100+ different cookies that I've tried makes that inevitable.
