Cookie Time’s second New Zealand Cookie Bar is scheduled to open in Dunedin tomorrow, putting a spin on traditional breakfast items. The menu features Dough Dogs, sticky cookie dough encased in deep-fried crispy doughnut batter and Freakshakes, concoctions of ice cream cookies and confectionery. Alongside S’mores, hot cookies and hot and cold drinks. A cutdown Mini CLubman and neon Cookie Muncher are key features of the in-store fitout.
“Central to this is the concept of putting a treat spin on traditional breakfast items, with an all-day dessert breakfast offer, but served until late. We’ve brought in some famous American cereals to add to the mix, plus a Japanese style milk toast with treat toppings. While some might say cereal and toast are somewhat boring breakfast items, we’re certainly bringing them to life in a vibrant new way, and only in Dunedin,” said Guy Pope-Mayell, Co-Founder and Managing Director.
“We’re now in our 40th year of business, so it felt fitting to loop back to the first place where we ever sold cookies outside of our home base. We launched Cookie Time by delivering 70 jars of cookies to 70 Christchurch dairies in 1983. The following year, we expanded to Dunedin and then eventually nationwide. So Dunedin has a special place in the Cookie Time world – and we’re thrilled to bring the magical, high-energy explosion of flavour and colour that is the Cookie Bar to the heart of the city.”
The Cookie Bar will be open to the public 10am on November 26.
