I had the pleasure of stopping by Clarabell Cookies today, and what a wonderful little place it is. With so many flavors to choose from, I settled on three: a classic chocolate chip (because it's the law), a cookie dough cookie, and a caramel one. If you love cookies, this is cookie heaven. They're incredibly fresh, soft, and scrumptious--made with high-quality ingredients and free of seed oils or preservatives. You can truly taste the difference. Once you try these, you may never feel the need to bake your own again. Why would you? Just head to Clarabell Cookies. See them, smell them, and eat them--your senses will thank you. read more

Simply incredible! We finally had the opportunity to check out this shop while visiting Sarasota and it was the best dessert experience of my life. My husband and I tried 4 cookies, one was kindly gifted, and our jaws were on the FLOOR. Best. Cookies. Ever. We had the original chocolate chip, dark chocolate sea salt, cookies and cream, and toffee pretzel. Drooling just thinking about them. To top it off, Clarabell and Gates were some of the sweetest people we'd ever met. They were so warm and funny (plus they have the cutest shop mascot, Snickerdoodle!) 11/10 experience. Also, the price is 1000% worth the quality you get. Can't wait to come back here. read more

Although it may appear unassuming from the outside, Clarabell Cookies is a little gem within Gulfgate. Immediately upon entering I was met with a warm greeting and cookie samples! There were about 10 varieties of cookies available, all of which appeared extremely fresh and made with love. I decided to order cinnamon bun, dark chocolate sea salt, double dark chocolate chip, cookies and cream, and classic chocolate chip. They were each delicious! Although I prefer a cookie with a slightly crunchy exterior, Clarabell's soft, chewy recipe was great nonetheless! At less than $4 a cookie, they are definitely reasonably priced, especially compared to the big, mass produced chain cookie places. And Clarabell's family-owned status makes it even sweeter than the chains. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other flavors in the future! read more

Hidden Gem for Cookie Lovers! Stumbled upon Clarabell Cookies while on the hunt for a sweet treat--and wow, what a find! This place totally exceeded my expectations. The cookies are phenomenal--perfectly soft in the center with just the right amount of crispy edges. You can taste the quality in every bite. I tried a few flavors, but the Espresso Chocolate and Sea Salt Dark Chocolate are hands-down my favorites. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced--seriously addictive. Even better, it's a woman-owned shop, and her dad helps out, which adds such a warm, homey vibe to the whole experience. You can feel the love behind what they're doing here. If you're in the area (or even if you're not), make the trip--your sweet tooth will thank you! read more

I'm from out of town and was craving this. I love Clarabell Cookies! Everyone is so friendly and the cookies are so good. I'm happy I found this place. My kids love the cookies, too! I thought I posted this the other day, but somehow didn't. I've been to Clarabell cookies three times this trip and plan to go again before I leave. Be sure to check this place out! read more

Nestled in Gulf Gate where there are quite a few bars, restaurants and shops you will find a little piece of heaven that should not be avoided. Whether you live here or on vacation this is a must! They will tell you about the finest ingredients used in the preparation of their cookies. You can definitely tell when you take a bite into them, they are hard to put down. This is a quaint little shop where they will take care of you with a smile. If you are on vacation and you fall in love with them, no need to worry since they ship their cookies. Some friends came into town and when I stopped by to visit they had a box from Clarabell. Figured I would grab one, box was empty and they just arrived. Told me they were the best ever and would be making several stops during the weeks. read more

Clarabell Cookies - Snickerdoodle, sugar, cinnamon roll, Classic Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle - Bakeries Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This is our 2nd visit to clarabels. Instead of buying one cookie we went all in and and ended up with four different cookies. Of course the service was good I mean one of the owners greeted us so the service was great the cookies well damn Delicious I have to say if you were to buy one and you ate it for the first time the second time you eat the second Cookie by candlelight. Me lady and I we got the espresso chocolate chip and I am not a coffee drinkernor do I favor the tahse of espresso but I do like this damn cookie. We also got the the snickerdoodle snickerdoodle triple chocolate chip and a chocolate chip cookie and hot damn if they weren't all delicious and I'm not saying that they weren't all delicious I'm saying they were all delicious so the way I see it if you haven't had a homemade cookie from your grandmother or a homemade cookie from your mother in a long time I'm going to tell you like this back when you did have it this is better than that. One good thing about clarabelle's is that they're local and they're young entrepreneurs support that go try it out if you don't like it which I highly doubt you will dislike their cookies they make a damn good cookie so get in there and indulge yourself a little one cookie at a time can bring a smile to your face get in there buy it eat it enjoy it you only live once you deserve it. By the way they do ship their cookies and I believe internationally and if you do not live in America these are not full of store-bought sugar as far as I know because they're not too sweet for me hug a bug a read more

My mom gifted me a box of these bc I am a huge cookie person, I love all types. She said they shipped very timely, and they were nicely packaged in a divided box with each cookie wrapped individually so that was nice. Unfortunately I really disliked the taste of the cookies. The texture was nice and soft, but they were hugely lacking in flavor in my opinion. Also, the chocolate chip cookie had a perfumey, almost synthetic, aftertaste that was very unpleasant. I put out the cookies for some friends I had over and the consensus among everyone was that they were a pass. read more

Absolutely delicious! All natural ingredients + inventive recipes = cookies you'll dream about. The Cinnamon Roll cookie in particular was an unexpected treat! And they ship!! read more

Amazing cookies & great staff!! The owner/manager is so friendly and helpful!! The cookies are healthier, have less sugar, and are absolutely amazing!! Love this place, best cookies ever! read more

So happy to have this little gem in Sarasota! My boyfriend and I are conscious consumers and we love that her cookies are made with high quality ingredients - and it shows in just how tasty the cookies are! Also when I stopped in today they offered to warm the cookies up - a dense gooey cookie & WARM! ... so good! Thank you guys :) read more

I was referred by a friend . What a pal ! These cookies arrived beautifully packaged 12 individually wrapped to a box. No cracked crushed or otherwise damaged (is there such a thing?) cookies. The individual seal was superior to the initial batch received a year ago. I haven't even gotten to the cookies. With 24 I give out at least 18 to friends and two thumbs up from everyone. It was mentioned that the sweet and fat are correctly balanced. Oatmeal raisin is my favorite. Sorry not a photo guy. Berwick, Maine loves Clarabell Cookies. read more

The cookies were great and the friendly, welcoming service made it a great experience. We would definitely go back.

Stopped in here because we wanted cookies after a nice dinner. The cookies all looked amazing! Clarabell waited on us and told us how all her ingredients are all natural and made with love. She was super sweet and welcoming! The shop is small and quaint! The cookies we ordered were melt in your mouth delicious! The peanut butter one was my favorite! If you're in Sarasota, make this a must try!! read more

It was so great to meet Carabell and chat with her today. Super nice owner and the cookies are delicious! It makes such a difference to find a vendor who is both nice and has great product. I highly recommend this business and the cookies! Thank you so much!!! read more

Had a fantastic experience here! Welcoming and friendly service. Delicious cookies! And affordable. Will definitely be returning!

Well her cookies are addictive. Now that I've discovered this spot, I'll have to rediscover my gym so I don't double in size. It doesn't hurt that it's such a friendly place to visit as well. Will be back again & again! read more

What an amazing addition to the Sarasota food scene! The cookies are beyond delicious where only high-end ingredients are used, creating a soft, divine, and scrumptious treat. Clare has such a bubbly and warm personality and clearly is passionate about her business. We loved all of the cookies so much, we placed an online order to be delivered to our son at college. Everyone in Sarasota, or the surrounding area, should visit this shop and pick up some delicious cookies! read more

This place is absolutely amazingggggg! I have to confess... I'm an absolute cookie addict which makes it rare for me to say a cookie is 5 stars but WOW, Clarabell has a secret recipe that will get you hooked after 1 visit. First off, Clarabell is the sweetest and runs the shop with her brother who bakes the cookies in the back. Talk about fresh! The classic chocolate chip cookie came fresh out of the oven for me and was hands down the best cookie I've ever had. Authentic, pure, high quality ingredients. Soft in the middle and perfectly cooked. I couldn't stop there... ordered 4 more flavors: double chocolate, peanut butter, cocoa and oatmeal. They all continued to melt in my mouth as I sampled each. I live in California and will have to find a way to get these cookies mailed to me from time to time. read more

We stopped by here after lunch......the cookies are delicious. All made by hand with the best ingredient.

Absolutely delicious cookies! Fresh and perfect daily. They always have one flavor that's gluten-free too!

Went in to pick up some treats for us! First visit! What an array of glorious goodies. Clarabelle herself was there giving me the lowdown on the presentation- even a preview of future offerings. I can honestly say this is a lovely little shop and the owner is charming to gab with. Will certainly be back as the cookies are delicious. I encourage you to check it out. J read more

They were so friendly and helpful. The cookies were so good. We had some had chocolate cookies from the oven and they amazing!

Oh my goodness, this review is a looong time coming! When we moved to SRQ from CA in 2022, I was shocked to see no legit cookie place on Yelp. I'm a cookie fanatic and coming from CA where we were spoiled with a bunch of options for cookies, it was a huge bummer to not have a place to get my cookie fix...until I discovered Clarabells! I adore these cookies and both Clare, Gates, and even Larry! We come at least twice a month for a box of six: for myself, I'll always get the chocolate walnut, double dark, and another flavor like S'mores or chocolate peppermint (please come back soon!), while my husband will always get chocolate chip, S'mores, and a fun flavor (his current fave is the Espresso Chip-- yum!). These cookies are made with love and clean ingredients, and they're ooey-gooey perfection especially when warmed with a glass of milk. Wish this place was closer as I live near UTC, but also glad it's not because I'd literally be here all the time and 10 pounds heavier LOL read more

These cookies are amazing! They are super moist and flavorful. Worth the trip, for sure.

I had the gluten free brownie cookie, it was soooo good. Soft and chewy, just right sweetness, $3.75 for one cookie, size of a saucer. It was worth it to me! We found out the details on all the cookies. Worth a try after lunch. Yummmm. No picture, I ate it so fast. read more

The best cookies I have ever had! I met one of the owners & she was so welcoming & friendly. These are not your ordinary cookies & I highly recommend trying them! read more

We bought 6 different cookies, all of them were excellent. New spot for cookie fix!!

Stopped in yesterday and we were so glad we we did!! The cookies were absolutely delicious! Ok we tried everything but the snickerdoodle and sugar cookies (next time) Clarabell was so friendly and personable,we will definitely be back!! read more

Claribel cookies are amazing. The people that own it Claire and her brother Gates are just as amazing. I give them a five star rating.

YUMMMMM best cookies in Sarasota. Nice homemade treat for you or a friend. Eat more cookies!!

Mouth-watering, freshly -baked, soft chewy deliciousness in every bite! Each flavor is better than the next -- from cinnamon bun to peanut butter chocolate chip. And such a cute shop with friendly owners, committed to top quality. read more

I ordered about 50 cookies from Clarabelle for my daughter's birthday and they were absolutely amazing! The kids loved them and although I planned to bring a few extra home we were left with empty boxes. Clarabelle is a joy to work with. She took time out of a very busy day (she was fulfilling a huge order) to accommodate us - all with a smile on her face and sweet conversation. We will be back! read more

if your looking for the best cookies in Sarasota,FL, make sure you stop at Clarabells! Pumpkin Spice, Smores and PB Chip are the favorites!

These cookies are da bomb! I live too close to here, haha.

I have just placed a second order from Clarabell Cookies for my dad. My dad is very picky about his oatmeal raisen cookies. I have sent him several orders from other places, and he has not liked any of them. My dad absolutely loved the oatmeal raisin cookies from Clarabell. They are so sweet and so accommodating. I will be a forever customer. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

My husband bakes amazing cookies but I'm always looking to try others as well. Upon a referral from a neighbor, I sought out Clarabell's Cookies and purchased one of each to sample with my husband. We both were impressed with the cookies, and I would say the Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Walnut Chip were our favorites. It's hard to describe what makes Clarabell's Cookies unique so, I encourage you to go and try them for yourself. The additional treat was the experience that came with making my purchase. I believe the person's name is Michael, and he introduced himself as Clarabell's first employee! He also explained all the fresh ingredients and love that goes into making the cookies and how passionate the owners are! He was just as sweet as a warm cookie fresh out of the oven! So, there you have it! Come get a delicious treat and amazing service all in one place! Best of luck Clarabell!!! read more
