After an awesome time seeing Robin Hoodwinked at The All American Melodrama Theater and Music Hall in Long Beach, we stopped by Funnel House to get funnel cakes. M and I opted for our very own ice cream sandwiches. Had we known how HUGE they were, we might have decided to share one, especially considering neither one of us finished hers. Out of their 10 or so flavors of cookies and 16 flavors of ice cream I got cinnamon sugar and white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies with mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Cinnamon sugar…

and white chocolate chip macadamia nut!

Did I mention this sandwich was HUGE?? It was huge both in diameter as well as height (please, no that’s-what-she-said-ing here). I had to hold it with my entire hand (rather than just the palm of my hand, it was so big and heavy). The cookies were room temp, but I believe they do bake these cookies in-house. The cookies were soft and easy to bite into and paired nicely with the creamy ice cream. The cinnamon sugar was kind of bland (not enough cinnamon nor sugar) but the white chip mac nut was ok. Not overly sweet, which is a great complement to the sweetness of the ice cream.

• Taste: 8
• Crust and center moistness: soft
• Value: $3.75 for a MASSIVE cookie sandwich. 8
• Overall: It was way too much food, and that’s coming from ME. I’d probably want to share this with at least 2 other people if I were in the area, and would probably just take some cookies if I really wanted one. My friends weren’t too ecstatic about the funnel cake either, but everyone on Yelp seems to disagree with us, so it may have been an off day, which still doesn’t make a good impression on me because it shows inconsistency. 7
