What Cookies and Creme Makes the Rest of the Year

Owners Ray and Jen Enzenbacher bake the cookies throughout the day and make the ice cream in-house. The specialty is the build-your-own cookie ice cream sandwich: pick your cookies, pick an ice cream, add a topping.

• The Premium Grom: two large cookies, two scoops of ice cream, and a homemade topping
• The Gromlette: the smaller-cookie version of the same sandwich
• Cookies: flavors have included Beaches Best Chocolate Chip, Tutti Fruity Pebble, Unstuffed Oreo, Funfetti, and a brownie cookie
• Ice cream: the best seller is Cookies and Creme Extreme, made with ground-up frozen cookies from the day before
• Dietary options: vegan (non-dairy) and gluten-free cookies and ice cream

You can mix two different cookies on one sandwich. A grom, in surf talk, is a young surfer. Two cookies and two scoops is about what one eats after a session.

Who Thanksgiving at Cookies and Creme Is For

• Hosts who handled the turkey and would like someone else to handle dessert.
• Families coming off the morning at the Turkey Trot and Petesgiving, with an afternoon to fill before dinner.
• Guests bringing something to a dinner, since takeout cookies travel better than a pie on a car seat.
• Vegan and gluten-free eaters, since the regular menu covers both. Ask at the counter whether the Thanksgiving cookies do too.

About Cookies and Creme JAXBEACH

Cookies and Creme is a veteran- and family-owned late-night cookie bakery. Ray and Jen opened it on 13th Avenue North just ahead of the 2020 pandemic, after Jen spotted the empty storefront before it was even listed for rent. It holds 5 stars across about 200 Yelp reviews as of November 2026.

The Cookies and Creme Extreme ice cream is the shop's answer to leftovers. Yesterday's cookies don't go stale. They go into tomorrow's ice cream.
