This month Central Square got a Crumbl, the Utah-founded cookie chain that now boasts 950 locations and whose hallmark is a universal rotating weekly menu. I tried the cinnamon scone cookie, which came topped with a scoop of cinnamon buttercream. Like all Crumbl’s cookies, it was thick and chewy, almost cakelike. I was expecting a cinnamon-flavored cookie, but I was surprised to find it actually did taste like a cinnamon scone. The buttercream was decent, though I wish it had been a spread instead of a scoop. The cookie was also said to be “smothered with melted butter,” which I was only barely able to taste; smothered wasn’t really the right word. Is Crumbl worth the hype? I think my answer is sure, sort of: The cookie was good, if a little overwhelming, but I can’t say it was the best I ever had.
Crumbl, 425 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square, Cambridge
