    From left to right: PB Chunk, The Classic, The Gentleman, Two pink ladys, Brown Butter Cookie.

    Amazing cookies. Almost as big as the ones from Levain. Their pink lady with strawberries is amazing. A decent hint of sea salt and the white chocolate was awesome. I enjoyed the brown butter cookie which satisfied my pleasures. My wife got a gentleman, PB Chunk and the classic and loved them as well. I didnt expect the to go box to be so gigantic. People who haven't been probably thought we brought more than a dozen cookies. They are a pretty penny but you get a ton of cookie so there are no complaints, just be prepared to break the piggy bank for these gems.

    This just wasnt it for me. It was 6.25 for one dubai cookie. The chocolate part tasted like a normal cookie, nothing spectacular. The pistachio part was decent but it just didn't scream "im worth it!". Its a small bakery and the samples/displays look nice. Inside is nice and the service is fine, it just wasnt for me.

    The Classic

    I've been a fan of this location since their opening. It can be a hit or miss with service but the cookies are what matters. I was shopping at Jimbos next door and decided to stop by to see what was available. They don't accept cask and it's a simple ipad payment. Yes there is an automatic service charge plus a tip page that will show on the screen. I was lucky that the chocolate chip cookie was freshly baked and warm. I like how they gave it to me in a small box so it was easier to take home. The cookie had a nice crispy exterior. The interior was too creamy for me (I can't say if it was under baked?) as it was a bit wet. I'm a chocolate fiend so I loved all the chocolate morsels inside the cookie. It's a pricier option to get your cookie-fix but can be worth it when the cookies are right out the oven :)

    Came because we had a coupon for a free cookie. Located in the del mar highlands shopping mall in the first floor. The shop is walk in only with no seating inside but right outside they have a few patio tables in the mall you can sit at. I got the oaty chip and the pink lady. They are of the thicker variety where the inside is barely baked and the outside is crispy. Flavor was good but nothing mind blowing. The oaty chip had a nice saltiness that contrasted the chocolate well. The pink lady has freeze dried strawberries that add a really nice intense strawberry flavor. I wish there was an option to have your cookie heated up in the shop. The shop itself feels very clean and bright. Service was fast and friendly.

    Since we were in Del Mar already, my husband and i ventured into this Batch and Box as suggested by a very nice lady we spoke with while in the Plaza. OMG the goodness, sweetness, chunky cookies were to live for ! Each has its own quality and they were very good! I had the Oaty, the Pink lady, the Brown Butter Chocolate Chips and more! My husband and i cheated so much from our IF and i don't regret it at all! The young man serving us was so patient and suggested "why don't you just get half a dozen since you have four already?!" I said "why not?" You don't have to ask me twice! Their front table is adorned by the cookies available and you a first eye-view of the cookies that you are going to get! The aroma of the baked cookies permeated the store and it smelled so so good! I hope you take the time to check them out. Even though it's kind of pricey per cookie, the taste is worth the price! Happy Eating!!

    Stopped by Batch & Box Signature Cookies while walking around the Del Mar Highlands Town Center and it was a solid dessert stop. The shop is tucked into a quiet corner of the center and has a clean, cozy, slightly nostalgic feel to it. Everything looked well kept and inviting, and the cookie display definitely pulls you in. The cashier was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. We ordered the classic chocolate chip and the Dubai cookie. Both were really well done with soft centers, great texture, and not overly sweet. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, especially the chocolate. The Dubai cookie stood out with its richer, more indulgent flavor, but the classic chocolate chip was just as satisfying. An easy spot to pop into for a treat while shopping or to grab cookies to-go. Simple, quality cookies done right.

    A delicious treat awaits!

    I love Batch & Box! I always go with the classic chocolate chip cookies, and they never disappoint. I've also tried their sugar cookie and snickerdoodle, which are both pretty tasty. The best part is how soft they are in the middle, with the perfect chew and a lightly crisp exterior. The service is always friendly, too. This location is in Del Mar Highlands Town Square, which makes it convenient when you're shopping and craving a sweet cookie treat. Another bonus is the ample parking.

    Pink Lady + Pumpkin
    Wendy G.

    Stopped by here during a post-dinner walk. I'm a cookie fiend, but have been let down at other SD cookie spots more than once due to their focus on style over taste and non-homemade, uniform consistency. Batch & Box stands out above the other cookie chains. The flavor combinations are interesting, you can taste fresh fruit and creative textural elements, and the cookies appear handmade. The cookie texture itself is somewhat odd - - thick, a bit dry in some spots and moist in others but at least it doesn't taste mass produced. The Pink Lady, featuring strawberry chunks and white chocolate swirls, was my favorite followed closely by the zany, marshmallow topped pumpkin chocolate chip cookie.

    Out front of the store, in the plaza, so it's a good identifier if you are new to the area on where the store is located

    During a girls trip to San Diego, for a concert, we stopped to eat an early dinner before arriving at the venue. After leaving dinner, the group agreed we needed "just a little something sweet". Several in the group wanted ice cream, but I am a sucker for a warm gooey cookie and happened to see Batch & Box. I can pass up ice cream any time but not a good cookie. While I waited for my friends to order their ice cream, I watched a steady stream of customers go in and out of this cookie store. Although I had never heard of this place before, I could tell they are a big hit in this area. So I jumped in line and was so happy I did! It is hard to tell by looking at their cookies that they are soft and gooey inside because they are a thick and tall mound of a cookie. No thin, flat cookies here. But trust me, if you like a soft cookie with melting chocolate bits/chips/morsels this is a must get when in the area. I am a big fan of an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and their Oaty Chip is in my top 3 of all time. Despite its heaping mound of dough, this cookie is NOT raw inside. The rolled oats, dark chocolate morsels (not semi-sweet) and sea salt is decadent. Two of us shared this cookie and the sounds of delight coming from our mouths was almost inappropriate! We had melted dark chocolate all over our fingers and the cookie was so soft that I couldn't safely get my phone out to take a picture. I was not going to drop any cookie bits. Although the cookie experience did not last as long as my friend's ice cream, it was by far, the best sweet treat ever! My only complaint is there is not a Batch & Box in my area.

    Old review: taken nov 2020 The doodle: Omg. This was amazing!!! I love the bits of cinnamon sugar morsels inside. Reminded me of apple pie without apples. The lady: I love the raspberry bits in this. Tastes like a raspberry cheesecake. Would taste better w dark chocolate imo. I'm biased though. The Julian: Amazing! Apple pie in a cookie!! Cinnamony and delicious. Pumpkin spice: Pretty good. The white choco chips are a little overpowering though The sugar cookie: The frosting tastes like cream cheese and overpowers the cookie. The cookie is nice and soft though. The wonder: It's good but I think I would like classic better. Cocoa PB: This was good but the peanut butter flavor is strong.

    The Classic x2, The Doodle, The Oaty Chip, The Pink Lady, and The Sugar
    Elisa L.

    We got half a dozen for $25 and tried The Classic x2, The Doodle, The Oaty Chip, The Pink Lady, and The Sugar. All were tasty, thick, and chunky. Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside and they don't skimp on ingredients! My favs were the Pink Lady, as you can really taste the strawberries and it was a good amount of sweetness, and the Doodle, a classic snickerdoodle that wasn't overly sweet. We came on a weekday evening and were in and out quickly. Cookies were still fresh and moist the day after.

    Cute and cozy cookie spot! Came on a weekday evening and it wasn't too busy but I can imagine how packed they can get during peak hours! We got a half dozen for around $25, and chose the Classic x2, The Doodle, The Oaty Chip, Pink Lady, and The Sugar. Of them all, my favorites were definitely the classic and pink lady. All the cookies are THICK and chunky, and have a crispy exterior with a soft, chewy interior! Some were a bit softer and sweeter than I prefer. They still tasted fresh the day after

    Amanda J.

    Small, cute, and very clean cookie shop. The employee was super friendly and offered us samples. I ordered The Pink Lady cookie and it was delicious. It was perfectly sweet with strawberries and white chocolate chips throughout. The cookies are a great size and definitely indulgent. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more flavors!

    Are any of the cookies egg-free? (Due to egg allergy)

    Hi Jonathan -- Thanks for the question. I'm sorry, but we don't have any egg-free cookies; all of our recipes call for egg. We'll keep the egg-free option in mind as we look to expand our menu in the future!…

    Hi Regina. Thank you for your question. We currently don't have a calorie count on our cookies. Our cookies are decadent, rich, and gooey, and we definitely don't skimp on the butter or sugar. So I'm not sure you'd want to know anyway ;) We'd… 

    Are the cookies all sitting out there in the open like the pictures show, not in a case? Or is that just the display?

    Just a display. The cookies are kept warm and fresh inside a warmer behind the register.

The line was pretty long, especially for a Friday morning. It took about 30 minutes before I was able to place my order. Once you order you pay at the cashier and can either take everything to go or sit out on their cute covered front porch. They also have complimentary water and napkins available. I ordered: * Tomato & Cheese Tile: This was delicious. The tomatoes tasted really fresh, and the bread had a nice crisp exterior while still being soft and airy inside. * Peach & Vanilla Tile: Also really good. It had just the right amount of sweetness without being overly sugary. * Almond Croissant: You really can't go wrong with this one. Buttery, flaky, and delicious. * Jalapeño & Cheese Croissant: The croissant itself was buttery, light, and super flaky with a crisp outer layer. The jalapeño and cheese are mostly concentrated around one edge so I do wish there had been a little more throughout, but it was still really tasty. One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of items sell out pretty quickly. They were already out of the ham and cheese croissant well before noon so I'd recommend getting there earlier if there's something specific you want to try. The prices were also very reasonable. My total for all four items was just a little over $25. Overall, this is such a cute spot and definitely worth the hype. I'd absolutely come back and try more!

    I've been wanting to check out Wayfarer for awhile now since I've seen them on social media…read more While visiting Del Mar I decided to finally check it out. As expected there was a line out the door. I waited about 15 minutes until it was my turn to see what was available. I came around 10:30am on a Sunday and they had about 3 types of croissants, two types of cookies, and cinnamon buns. They also had their usual sandwiches and breads. They did not have any of their kouign amann that Sunday morning. You tell them what you want at the counter and they box everything. Drinks are made and handed out outside. All their breads and pastries are baked fresh daily and they use local and organic ingreidents. I ended up getting an almond and hazelnut croissant and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. I also got a tumeric ginger latte and an Americano. The almond croissant was a little dry and very mid. The inside of it was good though. The hazelnut croissant was my favorite. It had tons of hazelnut on top and the filling was really nice. The sea salt chocolate cookie was very large and pretty good. As for the drinks the Americano was very light. My tumeric ginger latte was a nice switch up. I paid $27 for 3 pastries and 2 drinks. The staff was pretty quick with boxing my items and I waited about 5-10 minutes for my two drinks. The inside of the bakery is small but they have a cute casual patio. There's no tables though and only bench seating if you can find a spot. It's more of a grab and go type of shop. I like that you can pre-order ahead too. Parking is hard since its on a major street and street parking can be tricky.

Tasted the earl gray and lavender combo. It was delicious, I could have ate the entire thing but had to share the other half. There were a few tables outside but none inside.

    I'd been seeing Atelier Flour all over Instagram, so I decided to stop by and see what the hype was…read moreabout. I ordered the Island Girl Coffee, a macadamia latte, and asked for it less sweet. To me, it tasted very similar to a flavored hazelnut latte from Starbucks. Even with reduced sweetness, it was still sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor. If you enjoy flavored Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably like it, but it's just not my personal preference. I actually didn't finish my drink because the flavor wasn't for me. That said, the cashier was very sweet, and the dessert display looked beautiful and tempting. While the coffee didn't win me over, I'd still come back to give their desserts a try since they looked much more appealing than the drink I ordered. Overall, a nice spot with friendly service, but next time I'll be skipping the flavored coffee and trying one of the desserts instead.

Corner store front is cute with a side almost garage/nook for order pick up. No fuss with guest ordering and waiting. Staff sooo sweet like the treats! Drinks made special everytime! My recent visit i ordered the everything croissant and whoopie pie! Best sweet and savory trade off! The croissant was was soft and airy yet the crunch was perfect! The whoopie pie cookie was i think a green teal oatmeal cookie which was so soft but had a crumble to each bite and the center marshmallow was gooey like a s'more coming off the flame! Some may say its just another shop but theyre all just stops if you look it at that way. To me this was a "slow down take moment" stop on my way to school drop off and honestly ita what I needed! Ill be back forsure and will try the cinnamon roll! (PS wish I had photos but I couldnt wait long enough to remember! Next time forsure !)

    Some unique options, but quite overpriced. Limited seating and parking. Items run out very early…read more Ultimately the items looked better than they tasted and I found the prices steep. I don't plan to come back again. There is normally a line but it moves quite quickly. $18 for the chicken croissant. The one on display was WAY bigger which I found deceptive.

    This place has the most insanely delicious vegan pastries omg. In one of their display cases they…read morehave an entire shelf that is labelled as all vegan, and luckily I asked an employee if there were any other vegan options because he told me that one of their two rows of rolled croissants were also vegan. I ended up getting a vegan almond croissant and a vegan chocolate hazelnut rolled croissant, both of which were ridiculously good. The almond croissant was nice and flaky yet still buttery inside, and the almond filling was lovely. However my favorite was definitely the rolled croissant, the hazelnut creme inside was so light and creamy and when taken in a bite with the croissant and chocolate shell coating was heavenly. They had so many other options that looked incredible, in particular if I came back I would definitely want to try the vegan kouign amann. The inside is cute and has a small amount of seating, however the place is quite busy and fills up very fast. Me and my friend were lucky to get there early and be able to claim a table, and so they plated the pastries for us quite nicely and heated up her pizza croissant. Everyone we interacted with was lovely. This place is actually perfection I cannot recommend enough.

I must give a shoutout to Oscar for going above and beyond. You can tell he has a positive attitude and I'd come back for the service alone. I like that there is both indoor and outdoor seating and the staff is quick to clean the tables as people leave.

Nestled among…read morethe walkable, sun-drenched streets lined with palm trees and ocean breezes, this boutique café captures that rare blend of upscale SoCal charm and effortless European sophistication. It's an absolute staple of what makes exploring the Village so special. Walking through the front entrance, you're greeted by a curated retail space that feels like Crate & Barrel met a boutique shop in the heart of Paris. It's packed with unique home goods, chic trinkets, and aesthetic lifestyle items. Be sure to wander all the way to the back shelves--there are so many hidden gems worth taking home! The staff upfront and on the floor were incredibly warm, welcoming, and happy to chat while you browse. As you head toward the back, the space opens up into a dream of a café. One of the cutest touches is being able to actually watch the bakers rolling out fresh dough and crafting pastries right before your eyes. The smell of rich espresso and buttery pastry crust filling the air is irresistible. I grabbed a coffee and a fresh pastry, waited a short bit for a table on the patio, and pulled out my journal. Listening to the ambient music and ocean breeze in the courtyard while writing was pure heaven. Whether you're stopping in to shop for home decor, grab a top-tier espresso, or just soak in the slow, luxurious rhythm of La Jolla, this place is perfection.

This is an amazing bakery, the desserts were out of this world, and the savory tarts were even better. I am not going to even tell you which ones we bought, because honestly you need to just walk in here, look at which one fills your eyes with joy and buy that one. They are all delicious. Beautiful to for all your senses. Now I will have to find the quickest route of Ramona to La Jolla, just to enjoy these delicacies more often.
