Taste and Flavor

Pros:

  • "It is by far the best cookie I've ever tasted!! It was warm and so soft and chewy!"
  • "The ice cream is also more like honey I liked it."
  • "The banana dark chocolate was an interesting and delicious option."
  • "The milk chocolate cookie was very soft and warm, and very tasty."
  • "The chocolate chip cookie is dense with a soft gooey warm centre crunchy outside!"
  • "The chocolate melts in your mouth in the most delightful way!"
  • "The Miso & White Chocolate is the best! My second favorite is the classic Milk Chocolate!"
  • "The cookies were crunchy and melting inside, a crush on the banana chocolate."

Cons:

  • "The flavor was very oat-y, without any nuance of brown butter or brown sugar."
  • "I found the vegan double chocolate cookie left a powdery after taste."
  • "This £4.5 cookie had fake banana flavour in it."
  • "These cookies taste like cardboard, no joke! I love the texture and had high hopes, but there is no flavor."
  • "When they are hot, they taste divine; once cold tastes horrible, just like McDonald’s Fries."
  • "It was decent, but so much sugar for any human to handle."
  • "They have chunky cookies with limited ingredients. It was a little too salty and not fudgy enough for a good cookie."
  • "The miso white chocolate cookies were amazing. It was huge and have an incredible gooey centre with chocolate chip in every single bite."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "Reasonably priced for quite a generous serving size, with what seemed about half a cookie on top."
  • "The only negative thing was the price (4.5£ for 1 cookie). Except from that, I literally loved them!!"
  • "Even though the cookies are a little expensive at £4.5 each, I think they deserve every penny."
  • "So yes, they are not cheap, but to me, the size and quality of the cookie is definitely worth it! :)"
  • "Came back multiple times and cannot emphasise further how perfectly scrumptious these cookies are! You get something worth its price!"
  • "The cookies were amazing and the staff made our experience at Creme so lovely!!"
  • "You gotta try these cookies! Rich in flavour in every single bite."
  • "Best cookies hands down. There isn't too much variety but the flavours that are available are mouth watering."

Cons:

  • "It's no wonder this cookie bar is one of the most famous in London - their cookies are truly exceptional. I would definitely recommend trying them out for yourself, even if it's just for a single cookie."
  • "4 pounds are not cheap for a cookie."
  • "I believe Creme sells the best cookies in London. The Miso & White Chocolate is the best! My second favorite is the classic Milk Chocolate!"
  • "Got the chocolate chip cookie and it was good and definitely a good size but at £4.50 per cookie, I think it's definitely overpriced."
  • "The cookies are good and large enough that we had to eat them over 3 separate occasions. I would have preferred, smaller and less expensive options."
  • "Around £5 for 1 cookie that is sweet but overall tasteless."
  • "Some of our favourite cookies in London, however they are EXPENSIVE at £4 a cookie."
  • "The cookies are quite expensive at circa £5 a piece, so I had had high expectations entering into the store to justify the price they were charging."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better."
  • "The ambiance are super cozy even though it is a small shop. Always freshly baked, my favorite is the white chocolate miso (make sure u dont share since it tastes HEAVEN!!!). Fast service as well."
  • "Service was quick without any issues."
  • "The place is cute but it’s more for grab&go since there are only two seatings."
  • "Although it is a small and cute shop, the employees welcome you with a smile. be sure to try it."
  • "Delicious cookie and incredible customer service. There was a little queue but worth the wait."
  • "Fantastic customer service by Chris. Whilst there was a technical glitch with my ordering going through the order system, Chris was quick to rectify and the delicious cookies arrived the following day."
  • "I love the cookies here, but the staff was rude and awful. When I couldn't put in an order online I tried calling to resolve the issue, and the guy hung up on me while I was trying to ask questions."

Cons:

  • "When they asked to not have the returned cookie, the staff were quite rude about it and said they didn’t accept returns which clearly wasn’t true as the whole queue saw this happen."
  • "Cookie was delicious however the poor service ruined the experience."
  • "Unfortunately a common sense solution (i.e. forming two lines - cash and cashless - and serving everyone who could be served) was not suggested, and everyone ended with some extra time to enjoy staring at the store interior if you were lucky enough to be at the front area of the line and otherwise freezing outside."
  • "One of the worst cookies i have ever tasted in my life eating that cookie was the most wretched experience of my whole years of breathing that first bite sent me on an emotional roller coaster if i could go back in time i would walk past crème london the cookie was so undercooked i’m sure it made me sick in my opinion i would stick to bens trying this cookie would be suicide."
  • "The staff are rude. They didn’t acknowledge us when we came into the shop."
  • "It was my third time there, always wishing to have a better experience with the people that work there, and it is still the same disappointment. First of all, you have to wait between 10-20 mn to get in the shop. Then you have to be lucky! Because most of times the best cookies are « out of stock » funny? In a cookie store with 5 choices . Then they tell you that you have to wait for ten extra minutes, and then re-do the queue again to get your chance to maybe have a cookie on the next tray. Didn’t know that buying a 5£ cookie became an actual Hunger Game 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All of this without mentioning how rude the people are that work there."
  • "I heard from a friend of this place Looking at the queue I thought hey must be great with so many ppl waiting But not worth the hype Ben's cookies and Millie's are much better These are so exp"
  • "Poor and bizarre customer service - during eat out to help out.. me and my partner got a table outside. I went inside to order and I was asked by the guy serving (a young chap of African background) where I was sitting. I pointed the table outside to him where my partner was sat. He then handed over the cookies without a bag. I asked if I can have a paper bag to carry as I had to take a soft serve ice cream and coffees (by the way I ordered 2 coffees, he only gave me 1 and it turned out he also charged me for 1 - clearly not getting orders right) anyway, he point blank refused to give me a bag saying he can’t as I’m eating in?? I was absolutely baffled and felt humiliated in front of other waiting customers."
