So, let me tell you a little bit about my recent adventure into the world of snacks—I visited the popular Mrs. Fields Cafe. Now, this cafe isn't just any old snack shack. It’s a part of the beloved Mrs. Fields' Original Cookies franchise, renowned for its killer chocolate chip cookie.
The cafe, run by Mrs. Fields' Original Cookies Inc, out of Broomfield, Colorado, is a beacon in the snack food industry. This American operation is considered a retail giant, whipping up specialty, freshly baked cookies from over 300 franchised and licensed locations in the US and all over the globe. Walking into a Mrs. Fields Cafe, you'll find comfort in a cozy seat and a menu that goes beyond baked goods—it includes drinks and savory delights too. Oh, and let's not forget about the gloriously scented kiosks and stalls found in malls and shopping centers all through the states.
Founded by Debbi Fields back in 1977, the enterprise began humbly at a kiosk. After an investment firm bought the company in the early 90s, the Mrs. Fields Cafe was born, and the world got a little sweeter.
My Unique Encounter with Mrs. Fields
What makes Mrs. Fields stand out in an ocean of baked goods cafes, you ask? That's easy—it's all in the cookie. From its initial start with the chocolate chip cookie, Mrs. Fields has expanded its offerings to include triple chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, rainbow cookies, classic butter, and then some. Plus, let's not forget about their other baked delights—croissants, brownies, muffins, cupcakes, which they accompany with hot and cold drinks and customizable cookie cakes.
What struck me most is that the cookies taste homemade, like something you would eagerly munch on at grandma's tea table—not at all like the mass-produced snacks you'd find elsewhere. Even the aroma wafting from a Mrs. Fields kiosk nestled in a bustling mall captures that homemade charm, tempting you closer with each passing second.
The Cookie Magic at Mrs. Fields
Mrs. Fields' cookies have a sort of magic about them—they're warm, soft, and flavor-rich. They get their charm from the fact that they're baked fresh every day, with the old cookies going off to charity—you can be sure your cookies were baked the day you buy them!
What amazed me was the dedication Mrs. Fields has to quality ingredients, sticking to Debbi Fields' original recipes. Each cookie and baked good owes its scrumptiousness to real butter, proprietary vanilla, perfect walnuts, and top-notch chocolate chops. It's incredible.
What can you find on the Mrs. Fields menu? Well, it depends on the location. A stall or kiosk usually serves baked goods, gift baskets, and some drinks like coffee. But step into a full-fledged cafe, and you'll have an amazing array of options.
Here are just a few things to look forward to in a Mrs. Fields Cafe:
- Cookies
- Brownies
- Muffins and Cupcakes
- Aussie Biscuits
- Nibblers
- Sweet Treats
- Hot Beverages
- Cold Beverages
- Savory Items
You might wander in looking for something sweet, but I guarantee you'll stay for a full meal. Some branches toss flavorful sandwiches, wraps, paninis, even pasta into the mix!
A Coffee Experience at Mrs. Fields
But hold on—is the coffee good at Mrs. Fields? As someone who loves a good cup of joe, I say 'yes.' Mrs. Fields has its very own Master Roaster to ensure unparalleled quality. Each bean is roasted individually—no middlemen involved—and sourced from different places of the world: Brazil, India, Ethiopia, and Colombia. You can expect your coffee to be fresh and high-quality when you order at Mrs. Fields—I certainly did!
Ordering Online at Mrs. Fields
Don't feel like stepping out? No worries. Mrs. Fields got you covered—you can order online easily and have your treats delivered right to your doorstep or ready for curbside pick up. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that not only can I treat myself, but also send gifts to loved ones and customize packaging or message! You'll find a large variety of gifts on their website, like cookie baskets, tin cans of nibblers, and other delightful goodies.
What I Tried at Mrs. Fields Cafe?
If you get a chance to visit one near you, I urge you to order the original milk chocolate chip cookies, the brownies (especially the double chocolate and macadamia nut ones), and top it all off with their hot coffee. I also suggest trying their sausage rolls, croissants, and pies. Trust me; your taste buds will thank you later. And before you go, grab a bag of cookies to snack on the way home.
