We tried The most expensive cookie in london!
Fellow cookie officianados, when it comes to Cookie’s we know exactly what we’re talking about and when we hear about a deluxe cookie you know we have to try it. So we went out and found the MOST expensive cookie in London and we’re here to tell you all about it, so that you can add a little cookie excitement to you day.
We headed off for our expedition into London - there’s always something exciting when you’re on a cookie hunt in London, and found ourselves at Hyde Park Station and heading to The Berkeley that is the home of world famous pastry chef - Cedric Grolet. Of course we were very excited to get stuck in.
So we enter in and we couldn’t believe it. This was unlike anything we’d ever seen. It was elite. Everything was elite. The building was elite. The layout was elite. The pastries looked elite. It was unreal. And you always know you’ve gone to the next level when you can’t find a price tag anywhere. This was no ordinary bakery - this was like an pastry art show.
The aesthetic was just incredible, we were loving it. Even more so we appreciated the staff who were lovely and so genuine. For a second we’re going take you away from the pastry and tell you about the toilets! Flipping heck - the toilets were amazing. We had so much fun because they had these awesome swirling vortex flushes and you know we just can’t help marvel at an incredible toilet.
The Food
We started our experiement with a fresh mint tea - just a little pallette cleanser before we delved into the baked delights. You will never guess how much this mint tea was… £9! We could not believe that they were charging almost £10 for a mint tea - it’s daylight robbery. What’s even crazier is that we paid it - the things we do for a fresh mint tea.
On to the Cookies. As stated we consider ourselves to be on the more experienced side of cookie tasting… an expert you may say… perhaps even a professional cookie taster so we feel we know what we’re talking about here.
I’ll justs say this… it was a good cookie, but it wasn’t amazing. The texture was slightly gritty and it didn’t have the soft, melty to die for texture that we look for, and in that the flavour was good but it wasn’t mind blowing fantastic. Fortunately, the pistacio cookie was much better in our opinion. It had the balance between sweet and salty and the texture had lost that grittiness of the first one but, it was NOT worth £25.
So there you have it… a good cookie, but not a great cookie! If you have the strength to pay £25 and try it for yourself - let us know what you think in the comments.
