Sugar & Spice Extraordinary Sweet Treats

I had a terrible experience ordering cookies from this bakery. I tried unsuccessfully to order 2 gift baskets online. Their website said that they were out of stock so I sent 2 separate emails asking when they would be back in stock and received no response to either email. I also called multiple times with no luck. Each time my call was answered by a very rude woman who either told she had no time, that she couldn’t hear me, or would just hang up on me as soon as she answered. I’ve never had such a hard time giving a company MONEY. All in all, I would have spent over $ 60 dollars on 20 cookies and they apparently just don’t want my business. No worries. I’m sure there is a different bakery that would love to have new business.

I tried two cookies from Sugar & Spice at Unicorn Café in downtown Evanston. I liked the oatmeal raisin more than the oatmeal chocolate chip walnut. It’s a huge cookie for $ 2 (their website says it’s 4 oz), much more than I would want to eat in one sitting, so I suggest sharing with a friend.

I lived in the same dorm as Heather K, and remember the cookies just as fondly. M&M or classic chocolate chip were my faves. Always fresh and tasty. They also sell these at some White Hen locations. Aww, now I want a cookie. :(

Sugar & Spice makes some of the greatest cookies known to man. Huge, soft cookies with just the slightest bit of crispiness along the edges. You might have actually eaten some of their creations without realizing it — they are the cookie supplier to Intelligentsia coffee shops!
When I was in college we used to have a pre-​finals week dorm event where everyone would gather in the common room to enjoy a big glass of milk and Sugar & Spice cookies — a delicious bit of comfort before the harsh reality of finals week set in. Oh, how I miss those days!
I am partial to the M&M and the Double Chocolate varieties. Intelligentsia currently does not carry the chocolate ones but perhaps if enough people read this review and make the suggestion to management, we can bring about a cookie revolution. I promise it will be well worth the effort.
If you visit their website, they have a bunch of gift options available, too. I know I certainly wouldn’t object if someone bought me a box of cookies or brownies! ;)
