Munchies

OMG Munchies. Love this cute little place. I am from a dairy loving state, so I am qualified to tell you their earl grey and lavender ice cream just may be the BEST I have had. Texture was better than average, I like things a little creamier however the flavor was spot on perfect.
I wish I would have stopped earlier so I could pop in everyday while on holiday. We also tried apple cinnamon and earl grey cookies. I did not find them to be too sweet as another reviewer mentioned and I really don’t like sweet things. Super cute store, really nice services.
Are they worth the price. I think so.

Who can resist sweets? Not me!
Came here twice, once after spinning and once after yoga… because treat yo’self. And also because everything is organic and GMO-​free, which makes me feel less guilty for indulging.
From what I understand you have three options at Munchies: you can get cookies, donuts or a custom ice cream cookie/​donut sandwich. I went with the ice cream + two cookies option, which is neat because you can choose two different flavored cookies. Be warned though, their stuff is very sweet!
I got the Earl Grey and Chocolate Chunk cookies and paired them with coffee ice cream, thinking that the coffee flavor would offset the sweetness (boy I was wrong). The cookies and ice cream were all tasty, but as a triple combo it was sickeningly sweet. Mind you, I’m not typically one to complain about anything being too sweet. I tried my best to finish it but couldn’t. It was also messy to eat. Strongly advise skipping the ice cream (it’s good but nothing out of this world) and getting a cookie or donut instead, as the ice cream sandwich is loaded with sugar. My favorite is the Earl Grey cookie! I’ve heard the Earl Grey donut is good too.
Note: remember you don’t have to eat everything in one sitting. If you want to try more than one donut or cookie, you can always bring some home to eat– they will pack it for you nicely!

How can you not give 5-​stars to a place that makes you feel healthy by eating doughnuts and cookies (all organic and non-​GMO)?!
Although some look a bit more extreme than your traditional flavors, they all look delicious. So many more items to try — hard to limit myself from picking one of each from the case every time I walk by.

This place is quite isolated and difficult to find amidst the uphill streets in Sheung Wan. My friend recommended this place to me and after seeing her delicious photos I came here to try out their famous donut ice cream sandwiches.
We ordered a Lemon Cheesecake Donut + Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich and also an Earl Grey Donut + Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich.
The donuts were very delicious, the earl grey scent was very heavy and satisfying, and it paired very nicely with the chocolate ice cream that we had. Their ice cream are all homemade and it was delicious for something homemade. The only downside is that it is pretty damn expensive for simply donuts and ice cream, almost $ 80 each, so it’s not something you would snack on often, but worth splurging on now and then.
Would give it 5 stars if only it wasn’t so expensive.

Munchies — the new hip, unique, and interesting dessert joint in Sheung Wan. Can a city ever have too many sweet shops? I think we all know the answer is nahhh. ;) Plus, a good ice cream /​ice cream sandwich is always da bomb.
While everyone else is giving this place five stars, I’ll guess I’ll be the odd one that stands out by giving it a one star… Here’s my story:
With a wide selection in the store, you can choose whether your ice cream is sandwiched between two cookies or a donut. Since I just had lunch and just wanted to try the sandwiches here, and not necessarily have it as a full on meal, I decided to go with cookies (the lighter side!) than a whole, large, donut. o_​o What’s even more exciting is that if you go with having a cookie ice cream sandwich, you get to choose TWO separate cookies instead of just going with the one flavor you’d have to go with if you were going with a donut. Double score. :D
I ended up getting the Earl Grey cookie and Chocolate Chunk cookie with coffee ice cream. My coworker got the Smores donut with coffee ice cream (looked like a heart attack ;P). So… the verdict was that 1) the cookie is too soft in the inside, not fully baked through (agreed by the other coworker who tried my sandwich) and 2) wayyyyyy too sweet. I love that this place is fresh, organic, GMO-​free, and homemade, but I can’t believe their cookie alone is 4x sweeter than cookies that you’d buy straight up from the grocery store. I only ate half of my sandwich because it was too sweet, ended up giving me a headache. =\ Also, I’d advised against getting the chocolate chunk, this was the cookie that was less baked through and didn’t taste good at all… Earl Grey is better, but still, too sweet and not good enough for me to get again. It was great tasting /​trying experience, but not something I would come back again.
For $ 70 HKD, $ 9 USD, a pop — definitely not worth it… To be frank, the idea is great, but the taste is nowhere close to how much they’re charging for the sandwich. I wouldn’t even pay $ 35 HKD (half the price) for the sandwich.
FYI — they are opened Tuesdays — Sundays. Closed on Mondays.

Love the earl grey cookie and double chocolate cookie. Been here twice now, the ice creams are lighter and less creamy than traditional ice creams. Their donuts remind me of Krispy Kreme in terms of softness and fluffiness. Their earl grey ice cream sells out so come early!

Super awesome ice cream sandwiches! Ice cream sandwich is finally here in HK! This place reminds me of Diddy Reese in LA. But just a little bit more refine and a little tastier! Definetely in my new favorite dessert shops. Earl grey ice cream was super good! The soft dough cookies were super yumster! Goodies that didn’t feel fattening at all because it’s totally worth it!

My husband said this place was a 4 because the ice cream was not firm, but knowing that the all natural, handmade, no preservative ice cream renders it a bit runny… who cares… it tasted delicious and clearly organic!!!
I don’t give the 5 star on Unilocal out easily, but this place gets 5 stars for quality and freshness alone. We consumed ice cream sandwiches. With their recent opening and clearly a demand, they were out of donuts (which are I suppose the piece de resistance not to be missed… but we missed them. LOL!), several ice cream flavors and several cookie flavors. So being hot, wanting some ice cream, we went with what they had.
I had a salted caramel ice cream sandwich smooshed between a green tea cookie and a double chocolate chip cookie.
The quality of ice cream is exceptional. It might taste grainy and melty to some, but that is because it is missing all the chemicals that hold regular ice cream together. The flavor is haunting… it hits the taste bud and you know the quality is there. The cookies too. I would go in just to eat another of those green tea cookies. You can taste the freshness or baked just that day and good ingredients.
As ice cream sandwiches go, it can be a little messy, so just know that.
There is a little sitting area up stairs as well but let me highlight the optimal word little. Maybe 10 people could squeeze up there.
We did not have any donuts because they had sold out, but if they are anything like the ice cream sandwich, they will surely be exceptional.
True culinary craftsmanship with food is something I can appreciate. Everything made fresh everyday, no chemicals or preservatives, organic and made on sight… you can taste the commitment to quality.
I wish this new venture good luck and well wishes… we will back for those donuts some day soon!!!
