Millie’s Cookies

Compared to the Millie’s Cookies in Warrington, this branch is silver service. The cookies are usually fresh and warm, the smell is enticing and they often have new flavours like white chocolate and macademia nut and strawberry and cream. There’s also a selection of fresh muffins, ice-​cream sundaes and hot and cold drinks.
The biggest difference however, is the staff. There’s no sulky teenagers that look like they’d rather be texting their friends than serving you. Instead there’s friendly youngsters with big smiles and cheeky banter. Last time I went, I was even given an extra cookie.

Millie’s is a great little shop which you can usually smell before you see it. You get a waft of cookies being baked and you are drawn in. They have a lovely range of cookies, muffins, cakes, ice creams and hot drinks.
All the cookies are delicious, particularly the white chocolate ones. They melt in the mouth and are so moreish its a bit dangerous. The hot chocolate here is lovely too, excellent for warming yourself up after a winter stroll around the Albert Dock.
Everything here is inexpensive but of a very high quality. The staff are very friendly and helpful and make you feel very welcome.

Why haven’t I reviewed Millies before??? As much as I’d like to hate it for what it stands for (Corporate chain) much like Krispy Cremes, this particular chain does demonstrate one of the benefits of capitalism, it’s efficiency to produce an efficient production line.
You see organisation and presentation goes a long way when it comes to pleasing consumers. Millies cookie outlets are organization exemplified, attention to detail is everything. The staff are immaculately trained and dressed. The cookies are always fresh and tasty. It is the consistency that marvels me to regular moments in satisfaction city. I have been to probably dozens of these across the country, how on earth they manage to get the white chocolate cookies to carry the same quality of goodness I will never know. Trust me I have tried white choc cookies which tasted like white choc $hi!
We might as well make the most of the advantages of capitalist society while it lasts, until we demolish its monetary ideologies in favour of socialist and ethical ones. Until then smile and say two white choc-​chip cookies please!!!

It’s lucky I’ve been to the gym lately otherwise I’d be piling on the pounds due to Millie’s Cookies! Oh Millie. She offers traditional biscuits as well as some more interesting flavours incorporating raspberries and other delights. You can also get some deliciously creamy ice cream from here, to accompany your cookies or as a separate treat.
Yum, as dark chocolate is my favourite I got five of those (yes, don’t worry, I shared them around). They’re so tasty that they’re almost addictive so watch out!
Service is efficient even though there’s usual a queue of hungry cookie grabbers.
I wouldn’t go here too often unless you can justify it by exercising and brushing your teeth afterwards…

I have a huge amount of time for Millie’s Cookies! They are a great little venture and a good idea for a brand. They have amazing flavours and they really are genuinely tasty.
The other week I tried their new lemon meringue pie flavoured cookies and they were amazing! Other great flavours are white chocolate and raspberry, dark chocolate, white chocolate and macadamia, rainbow and mint choc chip.
All this is great; they also serve fairly nice coffee, which is also great. What’s not great is you go to buy a cookie and every time you get asked are you sure you don’t want 5 for £2.99 or 10 for £5.00. I don’t want to clog my arteries any more thank you. If i wanted5 cookies I’d have asked for 5! I already know about the offers because they are plastered all over the counter and the display boards!
Leave me alone!

Millie’s Cookies is well worth an occasional treat, especially if your sugar levels are low! You’ll leave bursting with energy by the time you have demolished a whole packet of cookies or indulged in a heavenly Baskin Robbins ice cream (and why not make it double scoop too)?! The choice is all yours with 31 flavours of ice cream to tempt you, but don’t get too carried away as only some flavours are available at this branch. My favourite has to be banana caramel even though I don’t have a sweet tooth, it’s just irresistible to reject that temptation once it’s in front of your very eyes. If you’re stuck on what to choose, you can ask for a flavour test drive as they put it, for a free taste. Don’t forget that Millies Cookies also sell hot drinks, muffins and other small treats all at fairly standard prices.
As fabulous as Millie’s gets, I ought not recommend it too much unless you want make your next visit to the dentist!
