Decided to stop in and grab some cookies to go. $1.50 a cookie which is a good price! I got a half dozen which included 2 Oreos, one chocolate chip, one peanut butter, one cookie monster and one funfetti. Had a tiny sample of most of them, and they were all ok (when is a cookie not ok?). Nothing knock your socks off good, but for the price, well worth it! I would stop back in if I was in the area and craving some cookies. read more

I wanted to do something for my staff to kick off a new year. Someone recommended Cookie Brokers. After a quick look at Yelp and their website, I placed an order via email. The response from Gilbert, the owner, was extremely quick. I sent him our logo and colors. He took it from there. He made ordering easy. You pay online in advance which kept me from having to make a trip and go inside. When I picked the cookies up, I couldn't have been more pleased. They were absolutely stunning. The logo and colors were spot on. I hadn't even tried one and they already exceeded my expectations. As I requested, he put two in a cellophane bag and closed each up with a ribbon. I sent these to my employees on Wednesday for a Zoom meeting on Monday. Every employee said they were delicious and still fresh. When two packages got lost in transit, he helped me get them replaced right away. Cookie Brokers is a small family run business which is all the more reason to support this them. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend Cookie Brokers. I'm already thinking about who I can send cookies to for Valentine's Day! read more

I was soo impressed when I came to pick up my order! I messaged them to see about pricing for a specific cookie I wanted for my daughter's birthday. They were very quick to respond. I ended up booking with them and it was an easy process. When I got there the cookies were ready and I was so happy because they looked just like the picture if not better. They tasted delicious and my daughter was so excited when she saw them. Definitely would order again! read more

Everything is soft and moist, there is public parking, and prices are reasonable. Great! 5/5 -The Carrot Cake Cookie, soft and moist just like the cake, with a cream cheese frosting. -The Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookie, filled with peanuts and chocolate, like a snickers inside a peanut butter cookie! MUST HAVE! -Pecan Bar Good! 4/5 -Smores Bar, marshmellow and melted chocolate topping on a graham cookie bar. Interesting one. -Pumpkin Cake, reminds me of a pumpkin bundt cake. Ok! 3/5 -Pumpkin Spice Cookie, a soft cake cookie, spice mix is different than the pumpkin cake, not as savory. read more

I've gone to cookie heaven. I was searching for a new "cookie" place when I stumbled upon "Cookie Brokers" and all I can say is ... I am so happy I found this little gem of a shop. As you walk into Cookie Brokers you can't help but notice the glass cases of delicious looking cookies. I couldn't decide between the chocolate chip, M&M, and leomon cookies, so I got all three. The cookies at Cookie Brokers are fresh baked, moist, light, and very flavorful. There's a big difference tasting products made by hand, from people who care, and Cookie Brokers is one of those places. If you ever find yourself in the Phoenix area, craving a cookie, then look no more, Cookie Brokers Bake Shop is a must. read more

Sorry, Im to busy enjoying my peanut butter stuffed cookie to even care whats going on in the world. Stuffed with chocolate and real peanuts, I had no idea a cookie could be so crunchy, soft and gooey at the same time. The type where you NEED milk. Cute place, and very welcoming. I initially came in to get six cookies but ended up getting a dozen because, let's face it who could resist the display case of soft fresh baked cookies? Oh and if you have a dog too? They got fresh cookies for them as well in a bag to take home! My dog loves pumpkin flavored treats they also had peanut butter but I knew I had to get her the pumpkin. The guy that was helping me also let me know that they were safe for human consumption as well, but I got them for her so ill pass. The flavors that I ordered were chocolate chip, peanut butter stuffed, lemon, and carrot cake. All of them were amazingly good. I also wanted to try two of their bars that they had. I ordered a s'mores and a lemon bar both were really good. I'm not so much a lemon fan but I did like the bar. The s'mores was really good too but very very sweet and rich so make sure you have something to drink with it. It's definitely worth a try if you're around the area. I wish they were open a little later in the night to curve those sweet cravings but they are still new and I can't wait to see what becomes of them! read more

I wanted custom cookies for my boyfriend's surprise retirement party and Cookie Brokers did not disappoint. I called several other cookies bakeries and everyone I contacted either didn't call or message back and one woman was rude and sounded very frustrated. Cookies Brokers communicated very well and it was very easy to discuss the images and designs I wanted. Some of the images were complex and I wasn't sure how they would turn out but I had nothing to worry about. I ordered 3 printed images with the company logo and mascots and 1 custom hand drawn image and EVERYONE loved them, they were a huge hit! His coworkers thought they were just the best. I've never seen grown men so excited about a cookie. I highly recommend Cookie Brokers for any special event. They were delicious as well. Sometimes those cookies are pretty but have a horrible taste and texture. These were soft and not too sweet and the icing didn't taste bitter or weird like some colored icing taste. Thank you so much Cookie Brokers for helping the surprise party a fun and memorable success. read more

The concept is pretty simple and straight forward. Homemade cookies and cookie bars for sale in a beautifully renovated space on Grand Avenue. As I write this, Cookie Brokers has been open for barely a week so it will be interesting to see how this new addition progresses. With Grand Avenue dessert icons Treehouse Bakery and Novel Ice Cream nearby, is there room for another diehard dessert spot in this neighborhood? I stopped in on a Saturday mid afternoon. You'll find Cookie Brokers just a block south of Roosevelt Street on the west side of Grand Avenue. The interior of the building can seat about 30 with a prominent wall mural adorning the interior. The mural of a cookie baker stealing a bite for himself will catch your eye as soon as you walk in. Over on the west side of the interior you'll find the menu and pricing breakdown. But you'll want to stare long and hard at the dessert case where the cookies are lined up to tempt your palate. You've got your chocolate chips, your M&Ms, your peanut butter, among others. But for my first go I decided to take a gamble on the cookie bars. Specifically the S'mores Bar and the Magic Bar. The S'mores bar is exactly what you'd expect. Cookie dough topped with chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow all mixed into a gooey bar for consumption. The Magic bar is a coconut bar with chunks of chocolate and peanut butter mixed in. Total cost for the two cookie bars including tax came to $6. Both bars were pretty solid and the S'mores bar stood out in particular for stuffing as much s'mores goodness as they did into a bar almost an inch thick. In addition to being entrepreneurial cookie makers, the owners here have a goal to make enough money such that they can eventually contribute a portion of every cookie sale to a non-profit called PICK (Phoenix Inner City Kids). For now, proceeds from every Cookie Brokers t-shirt go to PICK. I genuinely hope they reach this goal. For now I'm hopeful but mostly taking a wait and see approach with this new neighbor. The cookies are good, but I'd like to see a little more variety in their offerings. The space itself is beautiful and a great place to congregate so hopefully their menu will be equal to the task. If nothing else, Cookie Brokers is a great spot for a quick cookie fix or to round up a huge batch for takeout. And I mean, who can say no to cookies? read more

I will definitely order from them again! I also told our guests where I purchased them from. My poor mom was so disappointed that all cookies had been eaten before she had a chance to get one!

There is a nice variety of sweet treats, and the service provided by the team inside the truck was stellar. One of our student organizations was hosting The Scookie Bar, and after walking around their event, you could score a ticket for a complimentary Scookie. As we pre-ordered so many as incentives for our students, I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, something wasn't set up properly so we didn't have the cookies themselves, but we did have sundaes. We had six options to decide between. I went with The Standard consisting of vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and chocolate sauce, and on a normal day, there would have bene a chocolate chip cookie, too. The other five options included the Chocolate Lover, The Celebration, The Signature, Reese's Lover, and The VNA. While I enjoyed the sundae, I'm sure it would have been even better with the cookie included. The Scookie Bar is "where the scoop met the cookie" and serves freshly baked, warm deep-dish skillet cookies also known as scookies. They have a location at The Churchill in Downtown Phoenix, though I would assume I would more regularly see them when their food truck stops by ASU. Their Churchill location is closed on Monday but open Tuesday through Friday from 5-10 PM and Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 10 PM. If you want to order catering, it includes 2 hours of service and a 100 scookie minimum. They can provide a Build Your Own Menu where guests can choose the cookie, ice cream, and toppings, or they can choose from the Signature Scookie Menu which is what ASU did. They have been operating since 2016 in Phoenix. Now that I realize that I was missing the chocolate chip cookie, I need to try it again with that included! I definitely recommend this sweet treat to others.

I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

As a born and raised New Yorker, I take food very seriously... and Italian pastries even more so…read more Just before Christmas, I was traveling from New Yawk (visiting my parents) back to Phoenix to attend a family dinner at my partner's parent's home in Scottsdale. While I was still in NYC with my family on XMas eve eve, it hit me... I need to bring something besides wine everytime I go to their home. Nor a Southern dish. I wanted something unapologetically New Yaek. And what's more New Yawk than a box of classic Italian cookies? After asking a few Yelp friends where to find the best Italian cookies in Phoenix, The Sicilian Baker kept coming up. I called them last minute on Christmas Eve eve, having never been there before, totally sight unseen. First of all, their voicemail is hilarious. Truly. If you do nothing else, call just to hear it. It will instantly make you want to order something. Once I reached a real person, I explained my situation, that I wouldn't be able to come in beforehand, I needed a beautiful cookie tray for about 14-16 people, and I had a few must have preferences. Without hesitation, they said, "We got you." I was assured it would be ready when I landed on Xmas eve. Sure enough, after my partner picked me up from the airport, we headed straight to The Sicilian Baker. Parking right out front, a huge plus. As soon as you pull in, you're greeted with Frank Sinatra playing, not just inside, but even in the parking lot. It sets the tone immediately. We walked in, gave my name, and within minutes a lovely young person brought out my tray. Ten minutes later, we were on our way. Easy. Efficient. Warm service that made me actually grab a small box of cookies to drop my besties home on the way outta there. I didn't even realize at first that there's a sit down restaurant next door where you can relax and enjoy something. Great to know for next time ;) . Now, let's talk about the cookies. Yes, they are on the pricier side, but every single dollar was worth it. The tray was robust. Classic Italian pastries across the board like lobster tails, tri-colored almond cakes, cannolis, and all the favorites you hope for when you're trying to impress a room full of potential inlaws. And impress it did. The moment I walked in with that tray, it was a hit. People were already claiming which pastries they wanted, plotting what they'd take home, and hovering before dinner was even finished. There was more than enough for 16 people, grand is the only word for it, which is my style 1,000%. To this day, they're still talking about those cookies which makes me phenomenally proud (and humbled). I say this in all my reviews, "I hate almost everything. I'm discerning. I'm critical. And when something truly represents what I stand for - quality, authenticity, and heart, I will shout it from the rooftops". The Sicilian Baker delivered New York level excellence in Phoenix! Do not walk, runswiftly to this place if you need a gift, a show stopping dessert, or simply want to treat yourself. I cannot wait to go back. Highly, highly recommended.

First time here. Saw it on Fox 10 and have wanted to stop in…read more Omg... such a cute lace and so many choices. We were offered samples. Decided on 4 different pieces. They sell them per slice. Love that idea!! You can KRW order a whole cheesecake 2 days in advance( minimum). Everyone was so nice and friendly!! Can't wait to return!!

Let's start with what they absolutely nailed, the cheesecake. This is the reason people keep coming…read moreback. It's smooth, rich without being too heavy, and the flavor actually develops as you eat it instead of just being one-note sweet. You can tell they take this part seriously. Leave it outside the fridge for an hour and watch that cheesecake melt on your tongue crystals (if you have the patience for that) Their rotating monthly flavors keeps things interesting, and you're not just stuck with the same lineup every time. Out of what I tried, the banana pudding one was easily a standout--super nostalgic, creamy, and just done right without being overly sweet. The coconut one was also up there, more subtle but still really clean and flavorful. Love me some coconut! They also have a punch card system--buy 9 slices, get the 10th free--which is a nice touch. It lowkey turns into a mission because once you've tried one flavor, you kinda want to work your way through all of them anyway. Now...the downside. The customer service just isn't great. It's not aggressive or anything, just noticeably lacking. There's not much warmth or engagement--it feels pretty transactional. For a place that clearly puts effort into their product, you'd expect at least a baseline level of hospitality, and it's just not really there. So overall, if you're going to Banhams, go for the cheesecake. The rotating flavors keep it fresh, the quality is legit, and it's definitely worth trying. Just don't expect much from the service side, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.

(I recommend lightly nuking a slice, and putting vanilla ice cream on top.) The banana cream had lots of cream, but not enough bananas, at least per my expectations. I'd give the first one five stars, the second three. Hence my overall rating of four stars.

I will stick to their other real restaurant The Chelsea. For some reason it appears to be the place now for kids.

There's so much to choose from! I got the Dubai chocolate ice cream cup. It was amazing. It came with pistachio ice cream, milk, chocolate, ice cream, whipped cream, pistachio drizzle and chocolate drizzle absolutely delicious! My husband gone butter, pecan with brownies and whipped cream, which was very tasty as well! Honestly the ice cream was good.. But for being such a fun looking ice cream shop and for being downtown Phoenix. I expected the vibe in there to be a little bit more inviting a little bit more fun and upbeat! I mean, at least some music playing! Once the other customers left, it was just my husband and I was sitting there the employees were nowhere in sight there's no music no entertainment at all inside. and outside, you can see the hustle and bustle of the nightlife which was nice! To be honest with you going to the restroom, there was music in that hall that was inviting, and there was music in the restroom that was more inviting than the actual ice cream shop! To go in get your ice cream and leave would be great. But if you want to eat inside it's just very bland very plain and very uninviting for as cool and fun as their ice cream options are I just expected the place to be a little bit more fun going. It lacked in that area for sure, but the taste of the ice cream was delicious.

Not only was it super cute inside, but they had an entire gluten-free menu for me to choose from. Like--an actual GF wonderland. I nearly cried. The guy working the counter was ridiculously nice and let us sample basically the whole store. Unlimited samples?? Don't threaten me with a good time. We were out here tasting flavors like we were on "The Bachelor: Ice Cream Edition." Now let's talk about the 'Strawberry Frappe'.I can't even describe the flavor because my brain still short-circuits when I think about it. Just trust me--it's different, it's magical, it's what Strawberry Shortcake would drink on her day off. I wanted two flavors SO badly, but the two-scoop cup was basically the size of my head. They should let people do a mini cup with two flavors... buuuut I asked nicely (with big doe eyes) and got away with it. Hehe They also had a chalkboard wall where we could sign our names, so of course we doodled like we were famous artists. Honestly, I'm expecting MoMA to call any day now. If you're visiting downtown Phoenix,go check out this ice cream spot!! Like... run. Don't walk. I'm still dreaming about it.

The owners pocketed all the money raised, even demanded additional funds from bands merchandise sales. Absolute disgrace to the community. They put on the face of someone helping the community when in reality they are greedy conniving individuals taking advantage of the youths desire to perform and display their creative music with one another. Phenomenal crepes, horchata and more. This place is like a hidden little secret. They have many different delicious crepe options that are made when you order them so they are always fresh, hot and tasty. There are so many freshly made drinks to choose from Horchatas, Shakes, Lemonades in a variety of flavors that come in Mason jars you can take home. They offer catering, make cakes for you special events, host special events for the local youth. They open their doors and allow the local youth community to put on small music shows to show their support of their hard work and support their passion for their love of music. They offer painting classes and even cake decorating classes. This truly is a small hidden gem that shouldn't get passed by. If you are ever in the area stop by for a bit to eat or to enjoy a delicious drink.
