Hey Huntsville! Looking for a spot to get a sweet treat? Look no further than Cookie Fix in Clift Farms.
Cookie Fix is a small, southern-based, chain, with eight locations in Alabama and the surrounding states. The premise of Cookie Fix is fairly simple, and it's hard to beat: cookies.
The Atmosphere
The atmosphere of the Clift Farms location was friendly and inviting. Upon my arrival, I was greeted, and an employee immediately began answering any questions that I had and helped me to choose my cookies based on my preferences and what I wanted to try.
The employee collected my cookies from the display case, and packaged them up in a box for me to take home. The process was quick and easy, though it was empty in the store when I arrived. I was probably in and out of the store in about 15 minutes.
The Location
The location for this store is very convenient to Huntsville and Madison natives. Clift Farms is an up and coming area, just off of highway 72 that boasts a variety of different stores and restaurants. Cookie Fix is a fun place to stop in for a quick treat after shopping all day or for a desert after a nice meal.
The Cookies
As you would expect from a shop called Cookie Fix, the majority of their inventory is cookies. Cookie Fix sells freshly baked cookies on a schedule, with different days of the week boasting different unique cookies. They also change their menu monthly. It can be a bit confusing, but they do have a ‘cookie calendar’ on their website that you can reference before you visit. They do seem to serve chocolate chip cookies every day, if you aren’t feeling particularly adventurous.
They also offer a variety of cookies that are called ‘healthy’ cookies, which are made without flour! The Cookie Fix website does say, though, that none of their cookies are allergen free, as they bake with most common allergens in store, and there is a chance of cross contamination.
Cookie Review
The cookie review is probably the most important part of this article! For my visit, I picked out 4 flavors of cookies. Two of the cookies I chose had chocolate in them, and two didn’t (if you have a preference for non-chocolate sweets, like myself, there are a lot fewer non-chocolate options).
Blondie Crunch: The Blondie Crunch was a white chocolate based cookie. It also had bits of Heath bar and pretzels in it to really add that crunch! This was a really nice cookie. It was very rich, and the salt from the pretzels, although not noticeable, made the sweetness from the rest of the cookie really stand out.
Funfetti: The Funfetti cookie was your classic Funfetti. A sugar cookie base, with sprinkles in the dough and on the cookie, with a sweet glaze. This was a really cute cookie that I’m sure kids (and kids at heart) will love! I loved the red, white, and blue sprinkles.
Lemon Tea Cake: The Lemon Tea Cake is a tea cake style cookie that is topped with a sweet, lemon glaze. This cookie was the least sweet of the cookies that we tried, and it did have more of a tea cake consistency, which I really liked! If you are a fan of lemon flavored sweets - this should be a go to!
Magic City: The Magic city was the most different cookie that we tried. Though it was still very sweet, it had a bit more contrast, as it had a slightly more bitter dark chocolate and walnuts that cut into the sweet flavor of the cookie. This cookie was the most rich out of all of the ones that we tried.
The Price
The cookies were a bit pricey, but that is to be expected, when you are purchasing more gourmet cookies like these. All cookies were priced individually, but each of the cookies we purchased cost about three dollars a cookie.
Overall
Is Cookie Fix a place I could see myself visiting again? Absolutely. The cookies were a really nice, refreshing treat, and the customer service was great. I will be interested to see how the cookie menu changes throughout the months. I will definitely be a returning customer!
