Pookie Bakery
Bakery in Brooklyn
Operating like a speakeasy out of the back of a neighborhood gyro shop in Kensington, Brooklyn, Pookie Bakery is famous for its thick, warm, and gooey halal cookies paired with house-made soft-serve ice cream. Guests can order customizable mix-and-match cookie tins featuring rich flavors like Nutella lava, peanut butter, brown butter chocolate chip, and seasonal cinnamon swirls. The bakery is also celebrated for pairing these decadent treats with themed soft serve, milkshakes, and a playful cartoon aesthetic.
Commenters generally display high enthusiasm and cravings for the indulgent combos, though opinions remain divided on the value of the $9 price tag. While many visitors can't wait to try the treats, critics voice recurring concerns over extreme sweetness, cookies being underbaked or doughy, and mentions of a 'B' health rating. Others debate whether the cookie tin concept is overly hyped or borrowed from other Manhattan bakeries.
