I went to Specialty's for the first time today for a business meeting. Lunch was fine, but the oatmeal wheatgerm chocolate chip cookie was one of the best baked goods I've had in a long time. I found a few mentions of Specialty's here on LTH, but this (PR) thread was the only dedicated one.

Based on the salad I had, I'm not sure I'll be racing back for lunch, but I'll definitely swing by for a cookie...
