For the price I would hope so

That price is big too. $5 for one cookie ? Damn. Ima prob check it out tho

Yeah but you gotta split it. It’s too big for one person. It’s like a spot you go to with a friend, get a coffee or tea and split a cookie.

Copy. I wanted to get a box for my students. I’m guessing 12 would work for 24 kids ? I hope it’s not an absurd price
GhostOfRobertTreat OP t1_j5vqsgw wrote
That would be plenty and cost like $45
Donuts are cheaper but your kids will probably want more than one!

I bought donuts for a class yesterday and wanna switch it up. Would you believe a dozen and like 8 donuts is $30 🥴 I’ll drop 50 for the cookies since this class deserves it and they’re the only ones that I haven’t rewarded for their behavior / work yet haha

Also was anyone else hoping this would be like, downtown outside ? Instead of hidden in the junction. Like that’s mad out the way for no reason. Shoulda put that hoe on Halsey

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this place isn't for you or even for me. This place is specifically targeted at the out of town Commuter crowd. The people who work at Prudential, Mars, Audible, etc. and primarily take the train into Newark every day.
The people who work at gateway 1, 2, or 3, or even the Newark legal center or the Hilton(?) hotel.
If they could, they would restrict both of us from even being able to access it, however, public pressure + the skepticism I have of the target demographic actually buying into this whole gateway concourse // mini mall thing would lead me to assume that eventually they'll be looking at the public to save the day and foot the bill for their 50 million dollar investment!
I would love a spot like this on Halsey, however, Halsey struggles with foot traffic and many of it's small businesses are upset that the city isn't doing more to highlight them.

Co-signed on all of this especially with how much of a letdown and squandered potential Halsey is

Yeah right now the Halsey Street businesses are trying to get support from Newark Alliance, but it's a slow process considering how little time these guys have outside of their business + with them not being prioritized by the decision makers for whatever reason.

I wouldn’t say squandered being as our city’s upward trajectory is so recent. However it is being tremendously undervalued and this probably won’t change until gentrification hits harder and tbh these many Black & Brown businesses turn White.

It still blows my mind that during Covid, the city did not do outdoor dining on Halsey. So much incompetence.

I personally like Ras, but Jesus Christ is his administration borderline incompetent.
They'll do the opposite of what he says and proclaim it's what he wants, and then he'll have to call a meeting and force everyone involved to work things out like it's a gotdamn high school intervention.
I want rapid development the same way Jersey City has seen a crazy amount of development in the past few decades.

Its really sad how much missed potential there is because the elected officials find it so easy to coast

Yeah, I compared it to a small pie. It's a MEAL. I ate the whole damn thing myself, though!

they're alright, nothing mindblowing. Just another $5 cookie brand.

I prefer Crumbl, but this place is right downstairs from me. Good addition to Gateway

It’s like a piece of cake. Probably best to expect to split a cookie with a friend. I’d be dead if I ate a whole one.
It’s good though!
