"If you’re looking for an over-the-top cookie experience, Good Night Fatty absolutely delivers. We stopped by the Salem location, and from the moment we walked in, it was clear why this place has such a following. The fun atmosphere, colorful branding, and open kitchen make it an experience, not just a dessert stop. The cookies were served warm and fresh, with a crispy outside and soft, gooey center. We tried a variety of flavors, and every one had its own personality—from rich chocolate-loaded cookies to colorful sprinkle-covered creations. They’re definitely indulgent, so sharing a box is a great way to sample more flavors. The staff was friendly, the service was quick despite being busy, and everything tasted like it had just come out of the oven. If you’re in Salem, Good Night Fatty is absolutely worth the stop. Whether you’re ending the night with dessert or just satisfying a cookie craving, you’ll leave happy (and probably planning your next visit). Highly recommended! 🍪"

"Excellent ambience, vibes, cookies, and assortment of other offerings. The outdoor patio can get full, so I sat at a bench at the neighboring park, Salem Common. I highly recommend the Oreo fatty! The best part was that the cookies were baked fresh, so you’re guaranteed a hot, warm, delicious fatty. Bonus: dog friendly!"

"Really great cookies and very unique flavors. My wife and I tried these on a whim while in town. All three flavors were really good! Service was great and cashier really was nice and personable(I can't remember his name but kudos to him as he was a joy to talk to while ordering). I highly recommend trying them if you are ever in town!"
