What it does well

Soft cookies with a strong salty edge A large rotating choice of flavours Easy to share or take home A Toronto brand with several permanent shops

What reviewers complain about

Google shows 4.2 stars from 650 reviews for the matched permanent business. That rating helps, but a crowded festival truck is a different service setting. Some cookies are too salty for part of the audience Recent reviews mention stale cookies Limited flavours can sell out repeatedly A stunt CNE cookie may sound better than it tastes

Our verdict

Try one focused item and share it before ordering more. Festival food is expensive, and the most dramatic photo is not always the best thing on the menu.
