text: I love checking out new bakeries in the neighborhood so I was excited to be driving right by Dipsticks earlier this weeknThe ambiance of the store is one of the better that I have seen for the local bakeries It is brightly painted the displays are welllit and the shop is not intimidating or too quiet so you do not mind actually using the indoor or outdoor seating areasnThe lady that helped us was very friendly and eager to explain the different selections so stars for servicenThe location is good on Sunset next to the new Galaxy theatres I have been meaning to try Hopefully that means this plaza is getting some new lifennIn keeping with the name all the goods are actually served on a stickcookies cake pops brownies and maybe some other stuff I either did not notice or it was not out They had a wide variety of cake pops when we were there Wednesday around noonlemon vanilla red velvet pbj etc etc We sampled the lemon and I thought it was good for a cake pop but then I remembered why I do not like cake pops that much The cake is mixed with icing so it is all wet and it just seems more like batter than actual cake to me Definitely depends on your opinion of cake pops in general nThe stuffed cookies were I thought a genius idea I ordered oreo stuffed with cheesecake vanilla stuffed with rolo and ruffles stuffed with grand Unfortunately she did not hear me or forgot to put the Oreo one in there so I only got to try the other I love love Rolos but the vanillarolo cookie did not live up to expectations You could not even taste the Rolo it just kind of made everything mushy so you got another uncookedseeming item Again not bad just not exciting I did think the Ruffle potato chip cookie was really good She advertised it as salty meets sweet sold so I could have actually gone for more potato chips to play up the salt factor nThey do have chocolate covered bacon for those that are interested but we did not sample it this timenAlso they had some deliciouslooking layeredstuffed brownies but they seemed a little too decadent for me this visitnnWhere I am deducting points is the price for an averagesize cookie and for a dinky cake pop which I guess is an averagesize cake pop I mean really a cake pop is less than half the size of a cupcake and I have yet to pay for one of those I realize their product is really labor intensive but maybe they should make it less so I would have been glad to try a selection of nonstuffed cheaper cookies Maybe the rolo pieces can just be in the batter Plain chocolate chip with Ruffles on top nnMy second complaint is that I ordered items cookies and cake pop When I walked outside I saw a sign advertising buy get free Why did not anybody in the store mention it to me It seems like I missed out on a free item Or if the deal was only for of the same items I still would have liked to be informed It really would have influenced my ordernnOverall I will probably be back at least to try the brownies and maybe even the bacon so Dipsticks definitely has a chance to earn some additional stars
