    The Classic
    Faye L.

    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 :)

    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!

    such a cute cookie store. I came here a while ago actually before the rage of crumbl came out and this did not disappoint. it is insanely sweet so have a glass of milk or something. service was quick and friendly but there are so many decisions so try to make your mind before you get to the counter!

    Dubai chocolate cookie! A few dollars more expensive than the regular cookies. Looking forward to trying it!
    Alyssa S.

    Tried their new Dubai chocolate cookie. $2 more than a regular cookie. Rich, dense, lots of pistachio flavor. It was tasty and fun to try - but ultimately I think their regular chocolate chip cookie is more satisfying. Glad they had something new and I got to taste it; just doing the same old stuff all the time is boring. But the Classic is classic for a reason!

    Gluten free chocolate chip cookie
    Nicole Erin B.

    The cookies at Batch & Box delicious and gourmet. The gluten free chocolate chip cookie is soft, buttery, and stuffed to the max with chocolate chips. I appreciate that the gluten free cookies are wrapped separately to prevent cross contamination. The shop is small mostly used for pickup but is modern and clean. I do wish sometimes there would be a different flavor for the allergen friendly option because I'm jealous of all the other amazing flavors my husband gets to try!

    Pumpkin s'mores cookie
    Perla R.

    Batch & Box cookies are amazing! I was excited to try the seasonal pumpkin s'mores cookie they came out with this month and it did not disappoint, it was delicious! The regular s'mores cookie they have in the summertime I think may be one of my favorites ever but overall every other flavor I've had have also been yummy this is definitely a cookie spot to try!

    Celeste C.

    I was looking for a gluten free desert for my friend. Unfortunately she's also allergic to nuts so she wasn't able to get anything since it was made with almond flour. I still got a few items. The cashier girl was nice and give me options but personally I wasn't wowed. The Dubai chocolate brownie was so small literally just a bite. The strawberry and cream cheese cookie I felt wasn't cooked well enjoy because it kept breaking down into pieces. I give it 3 starts because it is really cleaned and people we were really nice.

    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?

Pizza was good, but soggy in the middle. The pasta was good, no complaints there. The sandwich was very lacking in the meat department... It was basically a bread and arugula sandwich. Had very low expectations for the gelato to begin with seeing as the colors were extremely unnatural and the way it was heaped was a clear indication to me that it is not legitimate gelato and unfortunately, I was proven very right. I got the strawberry so that my toddler could have a few few bites and it was so unnatural and weird tasting that she didn't even want any... And if that doesn't say something! My husband got the coffee flavor and he literally took three bites and threw it away as well. I will say, though, on the food front, the prices are reasonable here all things considered, but maybe stick with pasta... based on everything As a whole though, you can likely get a much more legitimate Italian meal somewhere else in the area, but it will probably cost you more.

    Stumbled upon Nibble Chocolate and I'm so glad I did. Ambience is sweet and cozy. It's a cute…read morelittle shop that feels like a hidden gem, especially if you're someone who appreciates good quality chocolate. They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

    We stopped by this little gelato shop in Little Italy after seeing all the great reviews, and it…read moreabsolutely lived up to the hype. We got lucky and arrived just before the rush. There was hardly anyone in line when we walked in, but by the time we got our gelato and turned around, the line was out the door! I travel to Italy regularly for work, so I've had my fair share of authentic gelato. I have to say, the quality and flavors here were outstanding. Rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. What made the experience even better was the staff. One of the employees was incredibly friendly, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the gelato. He encouraged us to sample flavors, asked what kinds of flavors we enjoyed, and made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. It felt like talking with a wine sommelier--someone who truly understood flavor and wanted us to find the perfect match. You could tell he genuinely loved his job, and that enthusiasm made the whole experience even more memorable. We took our gelato outside, sat at one of the sidewalk tables, and spent the evening people-watching. It was the perfect way to end a beautiful San Diego night. The shop itself is casual, with just a few seats inside and several tables outside. It's a great stop whether you're on a date, out with friends, or enjoying a family night in Little Italy. Definitely a five-star experience. I'll be back the next time I'm in San Diego.

I sampled Rose Almond (Lebanese Rose Water with Organic Almond Butter), Pure Watermelon and Stracciatella. The Rose Almond was fragrant, Pure Watermelon refreshing and Stracciatella was a classic. I chose Rose Almond and Stracciatella in a Piccolo cup which was perfect for me. The gelato was dense and delicious - I really enjoyed every bite of it. It was nice to be able to sit near the windows and people watch.
