There Is Nothing Like Bakery Fresh Cookies.

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

When the bakery originally opened about 15 years ago they were called The Candy Bouquet. Over the years they evolved into a luncheon and renamed themselves Cookies For You. They are a wonderful place to sit downtown and enjoy coffee, a cookie, or a simple lunch. 

There is nothing outstanding about their ambience or service so just stop in and focus on having a good cookie.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

My GF is the cookie monster. How she is able to eat them and not gain weight is a mystery.

Hopefully her metabolism does not catch up like mine did Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty . Prior to reaching 40 I could eat like a pig but now I have to think about every bite. BTW I need to think more often.

Bob "RealMan" Timm this whole thing is shameful and insane. We look like a third world country.

Good morning Bob. When we lived in downtown Chicago, we would go to an old Italian Bakery for fresh bread and cookies. They were so popular that people would double park for a whole block. If I lived in Minot it would be my coffee shop. Enjoy your day.

Bob "RealMan" Timm - not sure I will ever get to Minot but if you get to Milwaukee maybe you can bring a few cookies and we could met somewhere for coffee and give them a try..

That sounds like a great plan Wayne Martin and I know I will be going to see Tina at least a couple of times this summer.

Fresh anything is usually so yummy! I'm glad there's a place for cookies in Minot.

There are several bakeries in Minot BUT this one is about 6 doors down from my office so that makes it my favorite Kat Palmiotti 😊. It seems that all the bakeries we have in Minot "specialize" in one area of baking. I remember as a kid going into small town bakeries where they had everything and it smelled so wonderful.

This is a good recommendation to share. I am always ready to sample a good cookie or two.

That sounds like a great place to visit. There is nothing better than a warm cookie right out of the oven with a cold glass of milk.

You have me dreaming about it Dr. Paula McDonald . I'd love to sit down with coffee and cookies and share theology with you. You, me, and the Lord... nothing could be better than that.

It is always good to have a good go-to place for lunch, doesn't have to be fancy, just tasty.

I can live without ambiance Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 , after all I usually eat out at Burger King and Taco John's. 😊

Sometimes the simplest places leave the strongest impressions. Fresh bakery cookies and a quiet spot for coffee can turn an ordinary stop downtown into a memorable pause in the day. It is also encouraging to see local businesses evolve over time and continue serving their community. Thank you for highlighting a place that reminds us to slow down and enjoy the small pleasures.

You are welcome Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 . It is nice to take a break from shopping or work in a simple place like a bakery. Downtown Minot has several unique shops that offer coffee and a comfortable seat to rest on.

Bob "RealMan" Timm love fresh baked cookies from a bakery, BUT I love my wife's fresh baked cookies a little more.  ☺️

It is important to support and share our favorite local small businesses.

What is their best cookie in your opinion?

Inna Ivchenko I still love warm chocolate chip but a fresh date cookie is also good. I don't think I've ever had a bad cookie there.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

That post made me smile, Bob "RealMan" Timm, because there’s something comforting about a place that keeps things simple and still wins you over with a great cookie. I liked how you painted the scene without dressing it up, which somehow made it feel even more inviting. Thanks for sharing this little slice of everyday joy!

It's a great place to meet a friend for coffee and a fresh baked snack Lew Corcoran . Let me know when you may be passing through. 😊
