The Lodge, not just for brunch anymore!

Caryn and I usually have a list of places to check out on hand, but sometimes new desserts literally present themselves to you by showing up on my phone when I check in on FourSquare - places I hadn't even heard of or knew of their existence!
Last week, I went to Williamsburg to go to brunch with my brother and some friends.  We went to The Lodge, one of Lil Kess' favorite brunch spots.  As we raced to be the first to check in and win the eternal war to be at the top of the FourSquare leaderboard, a note popped up telling me not to miss the place nextdoor, where I could find a Oreo and marshmallow chocolate chip cookie.  Well, what do you know!  It's like they knew I spend my days scouring the dessert blogs to find new places to review.

After brunch, we headed next door and found said cookie.  It looked so beautiful, all of my favorite things combined into cookie form. Chocolate chips for the chocolate. Marshmallows for the fluffy center. Oreos for the cookie and creme. All wrapped together in cookie dough. I was beyond excited (and also beyond full from brunch, which I also recommend by the way.)  But I had to try!

I asked the man at the counter what was in the other desserts, and what they were known for.  I actually hated the guy working - he pretty much stared at me blankly as he didn't answer my question, and didn't seem to want to give me the cookie I had come in for either.  I asked if they had a card so I could write the place up and he gave me a postcard for the Lodge, but since I can't find this General Store outpost on the website, I feel like there was probably a different name.  So when you go here, just go to the Lodge and walk next door to the right of the restaurant.  They had cookie bars that also looked amazing, but FourSquare told me to come for the cookie so that's what I did.

It was awesome!  The marshmallow made the inside soft and chewy, and the Oreo made it super sweet.  A little too sweet for most, but not for me of course.  Our friend Natalie tried it and loved it so much she ran back in to get another one.

There were a few other desserts there, like these cookie chocolate peanut butter bars and smores bars and a ton of other amazing looking bar/cakes, which I will definitely be back to try!

So next time you finish brunch at Lodge, or if you're passing by and in the mood for a cookie or chocolate bar, definitely check this place out!

Lodge is located at 318 Grand Street.  I don't know Williamsburg too well, but I do know it's also near my favorite bar, Barcade, that has Pac Man and Tetris, so make sure to stop by there too!!
