Nashville has become a mecca for food enthusiasts everywhere, and my roommates and I are no exception. We discover new restaurants and hole-in-the-wall places that are scattered across the city all the time, and last week we added a new dessert place to our “favorite things” list. No Baked Cookie Dough just had its official opening a couple weeks ago on 28th Ave by Centennial Park. I was super excited to indulge myself with cookie dough, and without the threat of contracting salmonella, but I was a little disappointed by the menu.
Over spring break, I went to Manhattan with some friends, and we went to DŌ Cookie Dough Confections, where everything, ice cream and cookie dough, is priced by the scoop. Quick tip, I definitely recommend getting ice cream to help wash down the super sweet and dense dough. I was expecting the same menu style at No Baked, but the only ice cream option they have is a sundae, which is weirdly expensive just to add a scoop of ice cream and some hot fudge. Not even having the option to get ice cream to complement the cookie dough without doubling the price was quite the letdown, and I honestly considered stopping by Maggie Moo’s or Jeni’s.
So while I loved the cookie dough and am excited for the many late night runs to get my sugar fix, I think No Baked should take a page from DŌ’s book and offer ice cream priced per scoop just as it does with the dough.
