Always love the cookies here! Leave yourself plenty of time to wait in line, and be okay with cramped spacing inside.

Any of their cookies will blow you away! 🍪🤤

Take your pick from cookies, muffins, scones, rolls & sandwiches everything is great!!!
Hadley HolmesJune 7, 2016
You can order ahead (they prefer the night before if you're doing a morning pick up) and pay over the phone to avoid waiting in line!

The chocolate peanut butter cookies are hands down the best. They're so rich and best savored in 2 sittings 🥜🍪❤️
Amy CoatesFebruary 7, 2016
One cookie is kinda like eating half a batch of warm cookie dough. Always freshly baked, dense and gooey.
Jon MinnersJanuary 20, 2016
The double chocolate chip cookies are like brownies encrusted in cookies. So moist. So delicious.
Susan LaiMay 29, 2019

Chocolate walnut cookies!!! And the double Choco ones too. Oh and the oatmeal ones. Basically everything.

More biscuit than cookie. Grab a cappuccino from Piccolo around the corner to have while you wait in line.
Kim SiebDecember 30, 2016
Dark chocolate PB cookies are fantastic. You'll need a nice cold cup of milk to drink with these rich cookies.
Natasia SunApril 17, 2014
Don't be discouraged by the long line. It moves fairly quickly! Be prepared to grab n go as there aren't many seats in the tiny store.
Meredith BlechmanFebruary 23, 2015
The best chocolate chip cookie you will ever eat, although all of their cookies are divine.

The dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookie is SO GOOD. Full glass of milk required
Robert AccetturaDecember 6, 2014
You can easily split a "cookie" which is really more like chocolate chip cake here. It's $4 and surprisingly with $4 for a cookie.
natalie kayOctober 27, 2015
Chocolate Brioche Bread is wonderful as are the cookies!
Jaa OrayaJanuary 3, 2014

If you're looking to load up on carbs, stock up on moist sour-cream coffee cake, raisin sticky buns, and crusty baguettes. Read more

If you come here and don't get the walnut chocolate chip cookie, you're doing it wrong. Maybe the best cookie I've ever had.

NYC [Eat] Go here to try the most indulgent cookies in NYC – share with a friend or pick up a few for a party, because no one should really eat an entire cookie themselves...
