The cookies neatly lined up in the window of this Millie’s always look so tempting. The truth is however, they don’t taste anything like as soft and flavoursome as a Pepperidge Farm cookie. If you’re in a rush, the chocolate cookies usually taste the best but the coffee and teas I’ve are diabolic and watery.

I was about the get on a train to Bristol the other week, and needed a quick snack before I dashed off. I parted with some fair amount of money (around £1 or £1.50), for a double chocolate chip cookie. I opened my cute ickle Millie’s paper bag only to discover the cookie was a lot smaller than I remembered from my childhood. It was thin too, and crispy rather than moist. Waaaah. Very disappointing — give it a miss or get to Ben’s Cookies in town.

Millie’s Cookies specialises in cookies and damned good cookies at that. The decision to have access to this cookie emporium from either side of the train barriers is genius. The main reason for this review is to congratulate whoever it was that made this decision! It means you don’t have to go through the barriers and back for cookies! Okay I’ll also discuss the product: the cookies are, as I said, excellent. There is a fantastic range of flavours and if you have a sweet tooth they’re great. If however, your cookie cravings can be subdued, but you still need a caffeine buzz, then you can get a coffee to go. The coffee is quite tasty, but a little on the week side. I’d ask for an extra shot if I were you. Oh, and remember to congratulate the guy or gal who came up with that genius idea of having duel-​sided service: truly inspired!
