One of the best chocolate chip cookies I've had. Christine's is always at the Fort Mason Renegade Craft Fair, but the lines are so long; exciting to see she has a brick and mortar now and no lines! All of the offerings look so good, but I opted for something classic. My personal preference for a "perfect" chocolate chip cookie is crispy edges and a soft center -- and I found all of that in Christine's chocolate chip walnut. Love the dark chocolate and the browned butter to offset the sweetness of the cookie. Great crumb structure and in spite of its thickness, it never felt doughy. Close to $7 for one cookie and worth the splurge! read more

If I were to date cookies, I would go on a second date with Christine's cookies. They are def my type: thicc, floury, soft, interesting flavors. Got a handful of flavors and each one was so good. Lemon earl grey was a favorite for people, mine was the black sesame. Def want to come back when other flavors drop. read more

We are locals and love Christine's. We go here semi regularly and always go for their chocolate chip cookies and my savory favorite is their lil square herb bread. The bakers and Christine herself provide great service. The ambiance is cute and simple I do like that they also sell some additional goodies like pottery, cloths, incense and matcha. I have tried other things like the Oreo cookie which honestly wasn't my fave I thought there would be more cream throughout the cookie to balance the dough. Their short bread cookies are a little thick for my taste but still yummy. We also get the dog treats and our dog loves them. Overall, definitely worth a try and they really have perfected the chocolate chip cookie. All of the sweets aren't too sweet, but sometimes I do wish they were a tad bit sweeter like the Oreo cookie or the sesame snail but the technique is there the texture is there. I feel like you can tell they are very thoughtful and care about what baked goods they put out on the table. I would highly recommend. read more

impeccable. diabolically delicious. Christine is a ray of sunshine and master at her craft. seems like she experiments often given the seasonal cookies and pastries in the rotation, so if you see something you like, don't sleep on it!! might be gone before you know it. i got the swiss and mushroom croissant & pumpkin doodle this time. i INHALED that croissant omg. the hint of dijon? delectable. wish there was more. i managed to get there just as a new batch finished baking so it was warm, too :) i prefer savory over sweet items, but anything resembling a snickerdoodle hates to see me coming. it put me in the fall spirit. soft, buttery, and pumpkin spice-y (lol). i nibbled on it out throughout the day, which made for the perfect pick-me-up. christine's is a must-try!! read more

Christine's is one of my happy place - a charming little cookie shop tucked into the Mission that's somehow both nostalgic and totally inventive. If you're someone who believes great cookies can change your whole day (hi, same), run here immediately. Keep an eye on their hours (they're not open daily)! Let's talk cookies - each one is thoughtfully crafted, not overly sweet, and perfectly textured, with the best possible ingredients. Here's the rundown of my favorites: Chocolate Chip: Classic, but far from basic. This cookie is perfection, soft, with just the right amount of crisp around the edges. It's buttery, rich, and full of high-quality chocolate chunks that melt into the dough beautifully. Honestly? One of the best chocolate chip cookies I've had. Lemon Earl Grey: This one totally wowed me. It's delicate, fragrant, and clearly made with real tea. Paired with the brightness of the lemon right in the center, it's refreshing and unique without being overpowering. Oatmeal Brittle: I wasn't expecting to love this one so much, but WOW. It's hearty and chewy, but with that crackly brittle folded in, there's this amazing caramel crunch that takes it to the next level. I love it! Black Sesame Oreo: Nutty, toasty, and just slightly savory with this deep, roasted flavor that lingers beautifully. It's not your everyday cookie, but something really special. The shop itself is sweet and minimalist - with pop ups of beautiful home wares, gorgeous cookies that are baked with care and creativity. The staff are very friendly, and they're more than happy to talk you through the flavors if you can't decide (which, fair warning, you probably won't be able to). Christine's feels like a love letter to cookies - comforting, elevated, and made with serious intention. I'll definitely be returning... often read more

I've had a few moments in my life where I've been completely inspired. When I stop and think, "what does it feel like to be the absolute master of your craft?" Christine's is one of those moments. In a city known for outstanding pastries, I can say without hesitation that Christine's is the best. Cookies (my ranking from bestest to best) chocolate walnut - toasted walnuts grown in northern California, dark chocolate discs, and browned butter. oatmeal brittle - house made organic almond sesame brittle, cranberries, oats and a hint of cinnamon come together to make this nutty and insanely fun take on the classic oatmeal cookie. lemon earl grey - spring seasonal filled with a housemade fresh, zesty meyer lemon jam made with organic meyer lemons from Prevedelli Farms in Watsonville, accompanied with a hint of Numi earl grey tea leaves infused throughout. black sesame oreo - fragrant nuttiness, paired with crushed organic chocolate sandwich cookies. sea salt espresso tea cookie - nutty buckwheat tea cookie dipped in TCHO's Real Fudgy single origin 70% dark chocolate, topped with organic espresso beans from Linea Coffee and Maldon sea salt. All the cookies except the last one are 4 ounces each, 4 inches in diameter, and all of them are made with all organic ingredients. I've also tried the cheese herb monkey bread, the Delano mushroom mechado danish, and the plain croissant, sooooo good. But timing is everything, you've got to catch the pastries when they come out or you'll miss them. The world might be a bit of a dumpster fire right now, so do yourself a favor and buy the cookies and pastries and support this local gem. Thank you, Christine, for your talent and passion! you can taste the excellence in every bite. read more

Aesthetic cookie spot a little hidden between two buildings! Lovely vibe inside and there were also small curated home goods to shop from along the side wall. Came at 12:30 on a Saturday and some items were sold out! - Chocolate chip cookie (5/5): perfect texture for someone who likes edges with a crisp and a moist inside. Right amount of chocolate and butter. - Crinkle cookie (3.5/5): very brownie-like which is not my preference. This was a little dry and one-note chocolate flavor. read more

My friend brought me some cookies from Christine's. I ended up trying the chocolate chip, black sesame and lemon Earl grey. Lemon Earl grey 2/5- it started out great and then it got too tarty for me. And I normally love lemon but this was a little too much for my liking. Black sesame with oreo- 4/5- good and I can taste the black sesame over the Oreo more. But this cookie felt very buttery. Chocolate chip cookie - 5/5 made just right with a good amount of chocolates inside the cookie You can order ahead online if you wish. I think her cookies do changed during the season. So I recommend checking from time to time to see what's new. read more

This cute little bakery is tucked between Potrero Hill and the Mission. Service was friendly got greeted right away. I was excited to finally try Christine's, but I think I might have ordered the wrong things, nothing I tried really made me want to come back. I ordered the kimchi croissant. The croissant itself was good, flaky and buttery, but the filling didn't really deliver the bold kimchi flavor you'd expect. The sesame cookie was okay for being vegan, but the one I liked most was the oatmeal brittle cookie with cranberries. Maybe I'm biased, but I prefer my cookies more crunchy and crispy. Christine's cookies lean more toward the soft, chewy side, which some people love. I'd definitely skip the hot matcha though, it tasted watered down with milk, didn't have the bold match flavor and just didn't hit the mark. read more

Was at the Renegade Craft fair at Fort Mason and I was on the lookout for christine's! They were at the front of the pavilion this time and not in the back where I've seen them before. I had to get my favorite oatmeal brittle cookie and black sesame Oreo cookie. Both were fantastic. The Oreo black sesame one was more crumbly, the flavor was very unique and delicious. The oatmeal brittle one was a little chewy, the brittle gave it more texture and I liked the cranberries in it. Definitely get these cookies if you can! Every time I have them, I'm blown away by how good they are read more

This place is FIRE! They clearly have good quality ingredients and it shows (in the form of taste) in the quality of the cookies. There's quite a variety of cookies. I'm a sucker for chocolate chip with walnut so that's probably going to be my forever favorite. Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. And they THICC too. I will say they're not the cheapest cookies in the world ($6+ per cookie), but the size and flavor are great and you're supporting small business. It's located in between two buildings on Bryant street, just look for the A-sign and you'll find them. Clean modern contemporary look on the inside. Emily and Diane were working the shop when I went, both very sweet and welcoming ladies. Go check em out! read more

I stumbled on christine's at the Renegade craft fair and had to grab a couple of cookies to try. I got the Black Sesame Oreo and Chocolate Chip Walnut cookies and loved how chewy they are. The Black Sesame Oreo had great black sesame flavor and I could really taste both the sesame and oreo without it being too sweet! The cookies are large and dense without feeling too heavy and overall such a nice treat. I will have to visit the shop in the Mission next time I'm in the area! read more

Christine's is my favorite cookie spot in SF. I think about these cookies constantly and am always trying to see when I can get them next. I've tried all of their cookie types, and each flavor is phenomenal. My favorite is the Chocolate Walnut, but their Black Sesame Oreo is definitely a must-try! It's one of the best black sesame desserts I've had in a long time. I also quite enjoy their seasonal flavors, like the Lemon Earl Grey that is currently available. You can really tell how much love and passion is put into the cookies. The microbakery itself is super cute and aesthetic, and the owner is truly such a sweet human being. This place is a hidden gem--you should definitely try them out! read more

christine's is a small place in the Mission that sells mainly cookies with a very clean and modern design. I had the Black Sesame Oreo and Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate cookies. I can see why the Black Sesame Oreo is their best seller; I'd come back just to have it again. There was a small line of around maybe 5 people Saturday around noon, nothing too crazy. Definitely worth the time read more

My friend who lives in the Mission district recommended this place, saying these were "the best cookies in San Francisco." I finally got around to trying it. It's a hard place to get to, since it's only opened 3 days a week, which is kind of crazy. How can your business just be open 3 days a week?! There are about 10 cookies to choose from, but in reality, feels like 5 cookies since they're just variations of themselves. They have regular chocolate chip, chocolate chip with walnut, chocolate chip without eggs, lemon earl grey, black sesame chocolate, some tea cookies, and a cookie for dogs. I loved the interior of this little shop, which was modern, calm and relaxing. The cashier was friendly, was wearing this cute little baking apron outfit that you can buy for purchase in their gift shop area lol. There's no where to sit down, which is fine since it's more of a grab and go place. The building itself is full of all sorts of small boutiquey shops that look equally fun to try too. I got the chocolate chip, choc chip + walnut, and the lemon earl grey. The cookies are hefty, rich, made with good chocolate, and satisfying. I did enjoy my cookies. I'm not sure if they were worth $6.50 each though. I'm also not sure if it's worth the trek going back either, given the inconvenient opening hours. But if in the area, and they were open, I may stop by again. read more

Crossed the Bay Bridge just to get a taste of the hype with Christine's cookies. Tucked in an alley away from the usual busy areas of the city. Place is nice & neat. You are warmly greeted & acknowledged as you walk in. Cookie variations were beautifully displayed so you'd know which flavor/s to get. This place looked more like a hobby shop than a bakery/cookie shop honestly. Cookies tasted ordinary though. Was kind of disappointed. But hey...they're organic! Made with quality ingredients and I'm sure the owner poured her heart into these. It's just not for m read more

One of the Mission's best kept secrets. Nestled away between a bunch of residential apartments on Bryant is one of the best bakeries in SF imo. The staff is extremely kind, the interior is cozy, and of course the cookies are amazing. I was lucky enough to get the chocolate chip cookie almost straight out of the oven and it was ooey-gooey delicious. Amazing texture as well. read more

I'm a pretty big hater of thin and crispy cookies, but Christine's cookies definitely changed my mind. The cookies were medium thickness, a crispy exterior with a chewy middle. Very well balanced, with an almost Carmel like texture with the right amount of salt. The interior is also extremely pretty and matches the surrounding area's industrial elegance vibe. The service was very sweet too, Alice helped us out and recommended the snail croissant. Awesome place and surrounded by a lot of other cool places to visit, great spot to walk to and pick up a bite on a morning walk. read more

A cookie shop with both goodies for humans and puppies! We got the chocolate chip, chocolate walnut, oatmeal brittle, pumpkin doodle, black sesame oreo, sea salt espresso shortbread and both dog cookies (apple and pumpkin). My picky eater puppy LOVES the cookies both the pumpkin and the apple even though he normally hates anything with apple. Perfect treats to spoil your dog with! I loved the chocolate chip cookie and the chocolate walnut especially when it's warm and fresh out of the oven! Am I obsessed now? Yes, extremely! Christine was also so sweet and helpful and I can't wait to buy more cookies! I would love a gluten free option as well since I have friends who would also love to try her cookies as well! read more

Delicious and unique cookies! I stopped by around 2pm on a Saturday and many items were already sold out. But I ended up getting an oatmeal-ish cookie (had cranberries, walnuts, caramel) and a lemon earl grey. The oatmeal was a little too crunchy/hard for my liking, but I did really enjoy the lemon earl grey. The chocolate chip cookies were just baked and too hot to serve so I didn't get a chance to get one of those! read more

Hubs and I were at the Renegade Craft Fair last weekend and Christine's was the first booth we visited. I was really excited because I had forgotten that I'd bookmarked their business but was never around the area for their storefront. Picked up the walnut chocolate chip and the black sesame Oreo for the humans and the 2 doggie biscuits for my furbaby. The 2 cookies were big, fluffy, moist and not too sweet which was something I was worried about but nope, they were perfectly balanced. My furkid is a bit picky but he gobbled up both cookies with a quickness. The 2 ladies who helped us were super nice and efficient. We will definitely be back for more cookies in the future. read more

I have had Christine's cookies at pop-ups before there was a brick and mortar location, and I am excited to eat more of the cookies! Since opening her location, I have tried almost all the cookie flavors! The intention behind the microbakery is great--making smaller batches to reduce waste and also providing high quality goods. There are gluten and vegan options, as well as doggy treats. I have tried the chocolate chip, chocolate walnut, black sesame oreo, and lemon earl grey (seasonal) cookies and the matcha shortbread. The cookies are all good, but my favorite is the lemon early grey (petition for it to be a regular flavor)! The subtle texture of the early grey leaves pairs well with the gooey lemon jam in the center. The cookies are soft and not too sweet. There is limited seating inside, but there are some outdoor seats. Overall, her cookies are well-crafted, and you can tell that she put a lot of thought and care into her baked goods. read more

I finally got to try christine's and they were pretty good. It was nice there was a sign outside since it's not directly on the street side. It's cute and clean inside with a few chairs/stools to sit. Everyone was really nice and told me about the cookies, flavors, seasonal ones, etc. I tried the chocolate chip, black sesame Oreo, and peanut butter chocolate. They're all pretty good size and thick and dense. All good flavor but felt a bit pricey for what they were. read more

I'm not saying that it wasn't good, but for me, it was a really thick and dense cookie. Taste wise, I could taste the flavors but it didn't wow me. It's pretty though! read more

this cute little cookie shop in sf serves giant cookies with high qual ingredients and unique flavor combos! i stopped by close to closing on a weekend and they still had most of their cookies. i opted for the black sesame oreo and my friend got their peanut butter chocolate cookie! the storefront is small but they do have room for seating and some seats outside. the person who helped me was so kind and knowledgeable, and was able to help me pick between the many options! the black sesame oreo is a really cool combination. it's not too sweet and has that beautiful nutty, roasted flavor from the black sesame & tahini. i did find it a tiny bit dry, so i'd recommend heating it up. the peanut butter chocolate was good and definitely more moist, with melty chocolate chips inside. i'd be interested in trying their chocolate chip cookie, but not a huge fan of the black sesame one. read more

I came on BART all the way from Berkeley and had a pleasant walk to this bright, airy, clean little bakery. I was not disappointed. Well...not totally true. I wanted to buy one of everything make my trip worth it, but two things were already sold out after them being open only one hour! And that was the disappointing part. I will definitely return for those two items, but the 8 items that I did try were heavenly. From unique flavored cookies (espresso!) to delicately formed flakey peppered cheese and poppy buns. All displayed the baker's skill and artistry. The most unique item was special pastery in the form of dog bones, crafted to be edible for your favorite dog!! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got to at a fair today. I tried the lemon earl grey cookie. For $6.25 a piece, I was not that impressed. Nothing really.. surprised me? It is a softer flavor profile though - the lemon elevates it a little bit, but the cookie itself was not much... It looked and tasted overbaked (extra golden), and I tasted more of a poppy seed flavor than an earl grey flavor. At least it wasn't too sweet and texture was decent, though it had more of a bready soft texture. I see that this place serves vegan cookies - which, if you are into that, this might be more your place than mine. read more

Insane quality baked goods. Choc chip walnut cookie was amazing! Many other items worth trying. Will return to try more of these soon!
