Mrs. Chips Cookies in Sherman Oaks Adds Froyo

Fro-yo girl here. Cookie shops are having a moment, thanks to all the buzz surrounding Crumbl Cookies. In six years, Crumbl Cookies has grown to 700 stores. Other new cookie shops are opening as well, including Mrs. Chips Cookies, which opened in March 2023, after several years as a home-based business.

Mrs. Chips Cookies sells fresh cookies, baked in small batches, coffee, other beverages, frozen yogurt, and ice cream sandwiches from a pink takeout window in Sherman Oaks, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Cookies are $3.25 each with discounts if you buy 6 or more.

I was there for the froyo, of course, but I also bought cookies. There’s one flavor of froyo, vanilla, and two toppings: sprinkles and chocolate chips. A froyo cone is only $3.25 and toppings, $0.20 cents. It’s a small cone but I like that – it leaves room for a cookie too. There are no plans to carry other froyo flavors. Why aren’t chopped cookies a topping?

Vanilla froyo: thick, rich, and very creamy. It reminded me of the soft serve that Mc Donald’s or Dairy Queen served, something similar to a frozen custard.

The cookies are smaller but thick and very moist. My favorite was the snickerdoodle. Park in the back but it’s tricky to get there (it’s right by the freeway entrance).

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

The Froyo in a Cup vs. Cone Debate

Fro-yo girl here. Most of the froyo that I get comes in a cup but I do enjoy the occasional froyo cone. Not that many froyo shops offer froyo cones since the majority are self-serve, charge by the ounce places now. However, even some self-serve shops offer cones (normally they charge a flat rate for cones).

When it comes to the cup vs. cone debate, cups are clearly superior for adults unless the cones are freshly made and high quality. Cones have a lot of disadvantages. Cups have many advantages.

• Advantages of cones: Fun/kid-friendly, edible, crunchy, no waste/eco-friendly, look better in pictures
• Disadvantages of cones: Can drip and get messy, can be stale, extra calories, little room for toppings, scoops can fall off when you lick them, can cost extra
• Advantages of cups: Easy to carry around, clean, can have nice design, no calories, can be eco-friendly, can accommodate lids, room for toppings
• Disadvantages of cups: Can be plain-looking, can hide a lot of the swirl

Which do you prefer?
