Just Desserts: Too Good Gourmet Outlet Opens

Who can resist the lure of beautifully packaged, delicious cookies? The mother and daughter team who own Lakeshore Avenue’s new Too Good Gourmet are hoping you can’t. The company, which sells to giants like Cost Plus as well as mom and pop shops around the nation, is nine years old, but this is their first retail venture.
The shop is designed as a factory outlet, with prices above wholesale, but low for retail. Some cookies cost just a buck! Many packages are available from $2.50 on up, as are hot drink mixes and teas. Gift baskets for all occasions and all budgets are also in stock.
Cookie flavors range from white chocolate macadamia and creme brulee to lemon blueberry, from chocolate-covered mocha cookies to chocolate covered graham crackers. When I stopped by, several varieties were on offer as samples, and they were definitely worth going back for.
