New York City is full of food. From vendors on the street to classy and pricey restaurants, you will always find any kind of food you are hungry for. One of the latest food joints to hit the streets of the city has immediately become a must-see for everyone. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, then you will definitely want to seek out DŌ, a new shop that sells exactly that: cookie dough.
After hearing about DŌ on Facebook, I decided that I must find it during my visit to New York. DŌ has become so popular that people have to line up across the street to even get inside the small shop. After entering the adorable shop, patrons than can see the bar of various cookie dough flavors the shop has. It is very similar to an ice cream confectionery, but instead of ice cream being scooped out for you, the workers serve scoops of cookie dough.
The dough sold at DŌ is all safe to eat as well. They use pasteurized eggs and heat-treated flour so there is no chance of salmonella. They also offer a number of flavors that are vegan and/or gluten-free. Your dough flavor(s) of choice can be served to you just like ice cream. You can add toppings and have it in a bowl or a cone. DŌ even offers a selection of cones: french vanilla waffle, birthday cake waffle, red velvet waffle, even a chocolate chip cookie cone, made with their signature recipe.
When we visited DŌ, we were first shocked by having to go across the street just to be able to go inside. But the wait was definitely worth it. The inside of the shop is so cute, and all the workers are incredibly nice, but I suppose I would be too if I worked in a cookie dough shop. I got a scoop of two of their signature combinations, confetti, and chocolate dream, in a red velvet waffle cone. Though I grabbed a spoon, I ended up having to just eat it like an ice cream cone. It was only two scoops of cookie dough, but they were hearty scoops. None of us could actually finish our dough. It was very delicious but just sweet enough that it was hard to finish. All in all, I am very glad that we were able to fit it into our trip because a restaurant serving safe to eat cookie dough is something out of a dream.
DŌ is located in downtown Manhattan, and unfortunately for everyone who does not live in New York, they are not currently able to take online orders. But hopefully, they will get that up and running soon. They also cater to events, with a number of fun cookie dough options to serve your guests. If you are ever able to, I highly recommend visiting DŌ and living out all your raw cookie dough fantasies.
