New Jersey Cookie Store Includes A Cereal Ice Cream Bar
Let’s face it, sugary cereal and loaded-up ice cream are two sweet treats that can’t be denied. However, New Jersey has a creative establishment that has put them both together and offers a cereal ice cream bar experience. The place is primarily a cookie joint.
We’re Talking About The Cookie Connect
All of this happened by chance. Owners Ali Hajihaidari and Andrew Zerquera started baking cookies towards the end of their college days. Their intent was to try selling them to get enough cash to travel. Then, they’d return and find a “real job” in the corporate world. Well, their out-of-the-ordinary cookie concoctions led to mass interest, and a ton of activity on social media.
The Cookie Connect was born. “Our menu has a cookie on it for everyone. Whether you are a teenager trying to get over a heartbreak, a college student trooping through finals, a mother stressing over her son’s birthday party, or an elder wondering what they should serve at their next Sunday Dinner for dessert – we are here to help,” the Cookie Connect states, explaining how extensive their menu is.
This includes a Fruity Pebbles, fluff nutella s’mores, and Capn’ Crunch berries cookie. However, that’s just the beginning of adding these favorite cereals to dessert items. Tough cookies seem to be the primary focus, the cereal ice cream bar at this New Jersey chain has become the heaviest hitter.
Here’s How It Works
You select either soft serve ice cream, a shake, or cookie cup (a cookie-based cup) as your base. These are essentially the salad or grains base you set as a foundation at a salad bar that will then be joined by numerous toppings. Except here, next comes the second dose of sugar. Step two of the process is selecting your cereal. We are talking about all your favorites here. For example, From Loops, Lucky Charms, Trix, and Cocoa Puffs. Then, you add your typical ice cream topping. This includes Oreo pieces or sprinkles. Lastly, you add your sauce and enjoy.
If you now need to try this for yourself there are four The Cookie Connect locations. They are in Hoboken, Ridgewood, Bloomfield, and Morristown.
