Review: Nestle TOLL HOUSE

Postby Common Sense Al » Fri Apr 25, 2008 9:43 pm

After Fernando's, my wife and went to Nestle TOLL HOUSE at the Shops at Highland Village for some sugar.

We just got a brownie ($3.29) and two scoops of ice cream ($3.39)... the total was $6.96 with tax. I guess they have a lot of expenses over there.

Anyway, the turtle brownie was very good. The ice cream (Dryer's) was good. Looks like they had some nice treats. Service was fine.

everything in there is greatness.

And the owners are very helpful, and very thankful for your business.

We had several of the cookies - chocolate chip minis, snickerdoodle and macaroon. The only one we didn't care for was the macaroon - it was a bit too sweet. The owners (I think they were the owners) were VERY nice and attentive. The place was also very clean which carries big points with me! We'd go back although I do agree for cookies it seemed more expensive than we usually pay for cookies at the mall.

Al your review of the brownie has been haunting me I had to go and get one and I was dissappointed. It was, dry and not as good as I was hoping. Frankly I think mine are better. Not that I am bragging or anything. My son & I made homemade choc. ice cream that came out pretty good too...okay maybe I am a little

I like their ice cream. We usually go by after the movie (offsetts the buttery popcorn :) ) and they give you a discount with your ticket stub. I agree the owner is very nice.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe it was stale or had been sitting out too long. I would imagine it's hard to keep all that stuff fresh and best tasting.

Also, I've found that having high hopes often leads to being disappointed. :)

Or maybe your brownies are really so good that everything else isn't that good in comparison. Feel free to drop some off for me for review. :)

Love their chocolate shakes. They don't quite live up to Steak 'n Shake, but they are really good nonetheless. I think Love Lantana needs to provide samples of her brownies so we can compare! :D
