Cosmic Cookie Bakery

I feel badly having to write this review. I really wanted to like this place. I’m all about giving local small businesses a try. First of all, the owner needs to decide what the name of her business is going to be. On the Unilocal app it’s called Cosmic Cookie Bakery however when you drive up to the store on the outside it says «Bake me a Cake». The selections in the display were sparse, IMO. I was looking for some treats to take to work for some colleagues but was looking for something gourmet (you know, not your average cookie and in a cute box). All I could get here was assorted cookies inside a plastic clamshell container. My fault for planning at the last minute and not shopping around. I ended up only giving out some of the cookies and kept one. Taste wise they were nothing special. I will say that the owner (Tracey?) and her employee were very nice, friendly and helpful. This might be a cool place if you’re just craving something sweet but I won’t use them again for gift giving.

Okay so I seem to have become addicted to this place. There are a few inconsistencies I need to point out though. First is that like other Unilocalers have noticed this bakery has three different names. The name above the front door, the name on the receipts and the name on the emails. They need to pick a single name and stick with it.
The second inconsistentcy is that you don’t have any idea what’s available from day to day and if it’s moist or dry. You might think that I’m only talking about the cake being dry, but oddly I’ve also experienced frostings that are dry as well. So it’s really hit or miss when you visit. I’ve sampled almost everything they have and I think that I’ll stick with what’s been proven to be good.
The carrot cake and the Hershey chocolate cake were excellent. My friend also enjoyed his cupcakes.

Ordered the «Dead Head» cookie sampler from GrubHub. This sampler consists of 12 assorted cookies of any kind, baked to order, a pint of milk, and ice cream. I paid for delivery, and got a call 30 minutes later saying the delivery driver was not in that day, so I opted for a refund.
A week later, the same deal happens but I opted to remove the delivery fee and drive down instead. The solo employee there was kind, so I can’t take off points there, but the overall experience was a let down.
First off, once I arrived to pick the order up I found out they baked the wrong cookies, claiming that the previous shift’s baker did not inform her of the correct order. Because of this, half of my order was not available when I went to pick it up. What was a dozen assorted cookie flavors became 6 chocolate chip, 6 peanut butter cookies, and 2 of some other kind thrown in for free to make up for the hassle. I do not recall what the name of the extra 2 were, but there certainly had little to no flavor at all, tasting mostly like plain cookie dough.
The other cookies were alright. The chocolate chip cookies had way too much chocolate, all clumped at the bottom of each cookie (see the pictures) and the peanut butter cookies were pretty good. Overall they were all baked for an appropriate amount of time.
The ice cream was just a pint PET chocolate ice cream, and the milk came in a plastic cup in a bag (good thing I noticed that before I threw the bag in the passenger seat, I would have assumed it was in a sealed container since it was in a folded bag).
We did decide to buy a brownie, which was easily the best thing we had from there. Solid, moist, tasty, and overall worth the $ 3.50 it costs.
Overall, this was a $ 6 meal that costed us $ 24. I would not recommend buying the «Dead Head» sampler from here. Individual cookies were a dollar, so that wouldn’t be a bad idea if you were just stopping by, though. I’d highly advise either baking your own or buying cookies from a grocery store instead, because the value just isn’t there for this place.
Lastly, this business has about 3 – 4 different names, which is misleading and unprofessional. Online they are referred to as «Cosmic Cookies» in some places, «Kai’s» in others, and the sign outside of their shop read something along the lines of «Take A Cake Bakery». I see potential here, but they appear to not have their business together, which means I likely won’t be using them for cooperate catering or custom cakes in the near future.

Delicious cookies! Thanks to the Unilocal discount I was able to purchase multiple items at a low price. Very reasonable prices. I recommend the snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, peanut better, toffee coconut, and cashew carmel. The cookies have a crisp outside and semi-​soft inside. I across got a slice of the orange mango cake. Yummy as well. The staff was extremely nice and patient with me. I will definitely go back!!!

I used Cosmic Cookie Bakery (formerly Kai’s) for local delivery of a carrot cake. Tracy was a huge help to me in ensuring the delivery was set-​up so my friend would be there for the delivery. The delivery went off without a hitch and the carrot cake received rave reviews! Thank you so much for helping to create some birthday smiles!

I’m here now with my 4 yr old daughter — and while the cheesecake and cupcake are great (worth the 2^nd star), I can’t believe that I was told that there were no restrooms for the public. Sure she let us back there after I raised my voice a little (just paid $ 25 for three pieces of cheesecake, a cupcake, a cup of coffee and milk+ tip), but this shouldn’t be an issue! It’s a freaking eating establishment, your bathroom is public — at Least for paying customers!

Sent cookies to a friend in the hospital. He told me at least 5 times how much he loved the cookies. They were very friendly and easy to work with as well.

I love this spot! They have the best red velvet cheesecake!!! They have friendly service as well.

The brownies are awesome and the lemon pound
is a plus that they remain open until midnight. It is the perfect time for a sweet fix.

Stopped in to get a couple of small treats for a friend and myself. I got a chocolate on chocolate cupcake and a piece of almod pound cake.
The girl behind the counter was sweet.
The chocolate cupcake was moist, but nothing remarkable.
The poundcake however, was dry and hard. I liked the almond flavor of the frosting (not overpowering), but the texture of it was a little grainy.
I wouldnt get anything from there again.

Red Velvet cheesecake and cupcakes are on point! Very moist and will leave you wanting more. I work close by this bakery and I’m always in here buying something. The Lemon bar is delicious as well!

Red velvet was good, snickerdoodle sucked tho. Cold and hard as a rock. Lady wouldn’t even let me switch it. They were closing in 30mins. Talk about customer service. Never going back there Smh

Awesome service. Delicious cheesecake! And several treats and sweets to select from. I love the warm feel and cozy atmosphere. I’ll definitely be ordering cookies and passing by when I’m in the area.

I am a fan of this place. They are open until late. I was too early to catch the Megabus from Charlotte. I happen to find this place accidentely, as the place next to it, Eaglespeak was about to close.
They got good coffee, muffins, and desserts. I had a cup of coffee on my way to catch megabus on Friday late night. I went back again on Monday morning after my trip from Washington DC. This is good and have comfortable seating.
Overall a nice place to pick up some coffee and desserts.

I had seen this place listed on Foodie Call multiple times and was always curious about it. So while I was out running errands I found myself driving down South Blvd and decided to stop in. The lovely woman who I gathered owns the bakery was extremely nice and took the time to explain her business, all the items she had in stock, and even to say what items they make but didn’t have at the time. I decided to get the lemon cake, a nutella brownie, and the chocolate chip cookies. I also got one toffee cookie to try. I ate the toffee cookie on my way home and it was very good. None of it lasted in my house long so I’d say it was a hit but here’s the breakdown as I tasted it… The chocolate chip cookies were obviously homemade however the formula isn’t my favorite. They are really great cookies but you know how everyone has their own favorite type of chocolate chip cookie and this isn’t my favorite way. I like pillow soft slightly underdone cookies. This were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and a thin batter cookie. Still great tasting though and I’m sure perfect for multiple people. The lemon cake was my favorite, but I have a weakness for lemon butter cream. The cake wasn’t too dry which was a huge plus and the butter cream was well made however it was a little too buttery for my tastes, there were times I could literally taste just butter. I know that makes it sound bad but really it wasn’t, it was delicious and would be perfect with a tad less butter. The nutella brownie was probably my least favorite as much as it pains me to say it. I may need to have my head examined but it was just too sweet for me lol. Chocolate brownie, with chocolate chips, and chocolate frosting! I mean yummmy right! That is the type of brownie you take two bites and save the rest for another day lol. Overall loved trying this place out and I’ll definitely have to stop in again soon especially since they are open late and well you can get delivery. Can’t really beat that!

This place is cute and staff friendly but the baked goods leave much to be desired. Dry flavorless almond cake and a average lemon bar.
This place reminds me that I should start back baking again. It’s not good at all.

A friend/​business associate invited me to the place next door, but I decided to pop in to Kai’s to see what they had to offer. Quite a bit. There was an array of cupcakes, slices of cake, half-​empty cookie jars (great for the owner – bad for me because I wanted one), fruit truffles, bars… you name it.
I brought a bunch of stuff home to try, which included:
1 oreo cheesecake
2 mango truffles
2 strawberry truffles
1 pumpkin cupcake
1 strawberry cupcake
1 zucchini bread
1 sugar rush ;-)
I was pleased with mostly everything. The truffles were a delight with bits of real fruit in each one. I prefer the mango to the strawberry, but both were still good. The cupcakes were also good but my gripe about all cupcakes I’ve eaten is that they’re over frosted. This one was too; sometimes less is more, but the cake was moist and that’s the most important part. The zucchini bread was delicious – my boyfriend and I both ate that. The Oreo cheesecake is still in the refrigerator – I wasn’t too thrilled with that (and neither was he – that’s why it’s still in there). I can’t really describe it but it just didn’t work that well for me.
Overall, however, I like Kai’s and will return when I’m back on that side of town. The owner is a very nice lady who’ll you enjoying meeting whenever you stop in.

I recently needed a corporate gift that was quick, easy and still personal. I found out Kai’s did cookies with my company’s logo on them and was so excited! The process could not have been easier — I just emailed my logo and two days later I had delicious, soft cookies with my logo on it! The icing was perfect too — just sweet enough but not overly so.
And since I have an incredible sweet tooth, while i was picking up stuff for work, I also got a slice of the almond pound cake. YUMMY! Dense and rich and fantastic.
This place is in a nondescript shopping center so it is easy to miss, but do yourself a favor and check it out!

This place is my go-​to for a sugar fix. Great service, nice owners, and amazing tasting treats!
I love the chocolate chip cookie cupcake. 5 stars.
I also love the convenience for cupcake pick-​ups for my co-​workers’ birthdays and business meetings. They are one of the only bakeries around that will accept AMEX– awesome convenience factor.

You can’t go wrong with treats that are available late, late and until midnight!
I was impressed with the friendliness of the owner. She was both effusive and patient when we stumbled in for our sugar fix.
We sampled several cupcakes. A little too cold from the refrigerated glass showcase. The coldness just detracted from the fresh bakery feel but shoulders above any grocery store cupcake. I would be back for another late night treat and maybe a coffee this time too.

Upon entering in this location after finding it on Unilocal,when I was craving for something sweet after dinner nearby, I was hesitant and thought this can’t be that good.
They had jars with an assortment of cookies, a variety of baked brownie, and such. So I only ordered a few cookies because I didn’t want to turn around and walk out empty handed.
I drove off and tried one of the cookies; lo and behold I had to turn the car around and order more cookies and even tried a few brownies as well. Everything was fresh and delicious.
I will definitely be back, if I’m in the area again.

I enjoyed my visit here!
If you are craving something sweet, this place will definitely hit the spot. They have cupcakes, brownies, cookies and much more!
The staff was very friendly and upbeat! I decided to go with a red velvet cupcake. It was moist, and delicious. The cream-​cheese frosting paired perfectly and I really enjoyed all the flavors. This was one of the best I’ve had in a while.
Oh and they also have a rewards card and after the 10^th item, you get a dozen cookies free!

I love all things sweet and baked, and it doesn’t take much to make me happy. Unfortunately, competition is stiff in Charlotte with all the bakeries and other sweet tooth spots that I would have to rate this as just meh.
I stopped by after seeing them at the Sweet Tooth Festival and thought we’d give them a try. It was around 9pm on a Thursday. The girl working there was lovely and was very helpful, but the selection there didn’t impress me. The cupcakes seemed small and overpriced and a lot of what I wanted to try wasn’t available.
We ended up just getting a salted caramel truffle and a salted caramel cupcake that they sell for cheap for being baked the day before. They were both just OK and seemed like things I could make myself.
I did get a free latte after checking in on the Unilocal app. Unfortunately the girl admitted she hadn’t yet been trained on the latte machine, so I said no problem. I’ll come back another day.

Excellent Cookies! As the Man says! «Made Every day»! This was my first time and I enjoyed Four Cookies! They do have Cupcakes and other Treats too!
Chocolate Chip! Tastes as good as Mom’s!
Toffee! Fantastic! Lots of Soft Toffee!
Peanut Butter Very Nice!
Sugar Very Good!
They have some Tables inside so you could stay to eat if you wanted!
