TASTY TIDBITS: Ruby et Violette


Ruby et Violette is a unique bakery, specializing in chocolate chunk cookies, brownies and cookie dough ice creams. With cookie flavors ranging from Root Beer Float to Champagne Strawberry, Peach Cobbler and Candy Jar, they have taken the art of cookie making to an entirely new level. And if you’re a fan of cookie dough ice creams, wait until you get a spoonful of what they’re churning out: Monday Night Football -- peanut butter ice cream with huge chunks of their Monday Night Football cookie dough and dark chocolate chips, Pretty Woman -- Strawberry ice cream with chunks of Champagne Strawberry cookie dough and dark chocolate chips, First Kiss -- salty caramel ice cream loaded with chunks of their double dark chocolate cookie dough. Whom You Know could not decide on a favorite!

Beyond their innovative confections, Ruby et Violette is known for their exquisitely hand-crafted gift boxes. These boxes are gorgeous, and, with sizes ranging from as few as 4 cookies to as many as 3 dozen, they’re a perfect gift for any occasion. There’s even a special line of favor boxes (called Bijoux) for weddings and events. Best of all, they ship throughout the Continental United States, so whether you’re in Nevada, Kentucky, or LA, you can still indulge in their decadent desserts. Their state of the art website: www.RubyetViolette.com makes ordering a breeze, and even allows you to keep track of and to rate all the flavors you’ve tried.

If you are lucky enough to be in the New York area, Ruby et Violette’s café is located east of tenth avenue on the north side of 50th street, in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen. Reminiscent of an old fashioned Parisian ice cream shop, the beautiful little cafe offers seating for up to 12 to enjoy any of their signature 100+ chocolate chunk cookies, fresh baked brownies and small batch cookie dough ice creams and sorbets. If you’re more in the mood for a liquid indulgence, savor a glass of Ruby et Violette’s iced chocolate, or a cup of their sinfully rich drinking chocolate topped with homemade whipped cream. If sweets aren’t your thing, one of the baristas can whip up an iced coffee, creamy espresso, latte, or mocha from their La Marazoca espresso bar…but don’t be surprised if you find yourself eyeing the brownies under the bell jar.
