Terri’s Chocolate Chippery

This cookie store has been taken over by Wetzel’s Pretzels. This vendor no longer exists in the Camarillo outlets.

This is part of the Camarillo «premium» outlet mall. I really want to be able to give this more stars because this is a family-​owned business where the family’s really nice and you hope they survive. However, I have to stay consistent with the way I’ve rated other food, and cookies just don’t seem to be their thing.
These aren’t pretentious cookies, and you’re not going to get a «Who knew this would be so bad?» surprise. They taste about how they look when you enter the store. They’re big cookies — noticeably bigger than Mrs. Fields but not quite Roxy’s Famous Deli big. They’re priced at $ 1.50, or day-​old versions for half-​price, which is nice since one day doesn’t mean much for cookies, unlike some baked goods.
It’s cash only, and there’s no seating, but the outlet mall has benches all over. I don’t remember there being anything to drink. Really, one of the two big drawbacks to the place is the selection. They have six types of cookie if I remember correctly, plus a normal chocolate brownie, and maybe one other non-​cookie item.
I had the white chocolate macadamia and the chocolate chip. They don’t taste bad, but not store-​bought good, and the chocolate chip had a sort of weird lingering taste in the dough portion (although that cookie was a day-​old). They taste home-​made, meaning like if you’re eating cookies by your girlfriend or someone else to whom you’d lie even if they weren’t good, not like there was some cookie-​making competition in your town. I hope they survive, but I’ll probably be craving that cheesecake in the food court instead.
