In 2020, Crumbl Cookie shops began to pop up everywhere and very quickly grew in popularity. At this time everyone got excited when the cookies for the week were released every Monday. Influencers even began doing weekly Crumbl reviews and taste tests, and with the boredom of COVID, some people seemed willing to drop anywhere from five to fifty dollars on cookies. No one realized or seemed to care just how outrageous it was to spend twenty-five dollars on six cookies just so that they could try every flavor. Over the last couple of years however, Crumbl has started to be recognized for what it is. All over social media, the company has begun gaining negative reviews and comments.
When they first opened, the reviews of the infamous sugary cookies were all positive, stating that Crumbl had the best cookies you will ever eat. However, now the only thing I’m seeing is negative reviews, including the cookies being raw, overpriced and too sweet.
I’m not sure whether it was the media influencing my opinion or the cookies themselves, but in my experience, Crumbl used to be rather tasty. Though the last time I got Crumbl cookies a couple of months ago I was not pleased with my purchase. Looking back, I swear I would have never spent almost 20 dollars on four cookies. I mean that’s just downright outrageous!
Due to their popularity in the beginning, Crumbl started producing mini versions of the cookies to bring in a bigger crowd. I personally have never bought the mini versions so I can not state my opinions but I do not see many people buying them.
I have not been to a Crumbl Cookie location in over four months but it was brought to my attention that they have started selling other desserts as “cookies.” For example, the new brownie sundae (which is a brownie, not a cookie), Tres Leches cake, (again not a cookie), and banana cream pie (yuck). These are just a few of the random “cookie” flavors Crumble is selling these days.
If you ask me, Crumbl used to be good until they decided to start getting crazy with their flavors. I mean to be honest, who is going to buy an everything bagel cookie for five dollars? At that point, you might as well go by an actual everything bagel. It’s also hard to spend the same amount of money on one raw cookie that I could spend to buy a whole package at Harris Teeter. I think that if Crumbl began to lower their prices just a little and come out with classic flavors then maybe, just maybe they would be worth it.
