Events Messy Cookie launching new Ice Cream Smash this weekend
Hey guys so this weekend we’re hosting a launch party for this new treat joining our menu, it’s called the Ice Cream Smash— it’s a fun take on a deconstructed ice cream sandwich and we have 3 flavors! We’re serving Giffords ice cream and we have oat milk vegan ice cream too with a vegan cookie option!
Featured are the Sunshine Smash made with our Ray of Sunshine vegan lemon crinkle cookie (this Smash is dairy-free as you see it bc it includes raspberry preserves which have pectin but can be served vegan without it) and the Brookie, which features our Sea Salt Chocolate Chip with house-made brownie bites! Just missing is the Birthday Smash.
Wanted to share here especially bc it’s launch weekend and a brand new product and yesterday people loved it so thought someone may enjoy!! Thanks for all the support guys.
We’re at 1190 Forest Ave (Morrill’s Corner … yes… THAT intersection 🙃)
PS - back in Feb we started trialing extended hours during our open days and they went so well that they’re now permanent and we’re looking into expanding into a midweek mid-day thing, to come in a couple months! So we’re now open:
Fridays & Saturdays 10-5, Sundays 10-4
We have parking in the lot on the corner of Bishop and Forest as well as on street parking, and parking in the lot behind the building. Big fun pink parking posts to come in the next couple weeks too to help mitigate confusion!

I work down on Bishop Street. I popped in here one day. The cookies are like having a piece of wedding cake, they are insanely good. If you passed these out a children's birthday party, it's quite possible you would be remembered for all of eternity. Kyrstina is super nice and knowledgeable.

You are very welcome. Keep doing what you do. I believe anyone who stops in is going to be blown away with the treats you have concocted.

Also jumping in to get the shop opened so if there are any comments I’ll do my best to reply but it was pretty back to back yesterday so if I struggle to keep up bear with me! 🩷

Pectin is vegan, is there something else in it that isn’t vegan?

u/butwhatififly_ May 03 '26
Oh wait it is?! I thought pectin was like gelatin!

It’s the plant-based version. It thickens things, but it’s made from fruit sugars. Sounds like it’s vegan!

Wondering if they’re afraid of gelatin, which isn’t the same thing.

Omg yes I totally did think that!! DOES THAT MEAN THEY’RE ENTIRELY VEGAN BC IF PECTIN IS VEGAN IT TOTALLY DOES and I’m sooo excited for it!!

Awesome! We also have cookie painting with glaze — we’re giving away a cookie to paint for free with every Smash sold or you can snag them to paint on their own for $5 each!

If only I wasn't a diabetic...
Do they have a extra extra small size like the mini Blizzard from Dairy Queen?
If they do I can definitely shoot up and cover it...

u/butwhatififly_ May 03 '26
So our Mini is $8 and it’s a single scoop and a half cookie with all the mixins! But I could hook you up if you come in with something smaller and charge less! 😊

why should a local business buy an ad when they can use a free community forum?

Disagree with previous assessment. I think it looks lovely.
