Dude, I can't believe I haven't given Cookie... Take a Bite some love yet! I came across them when I was trying to find some gnoshy desserty thing for our wedding. They had such great reviews, we decided to stop by to give it a try. We got a box of 20ish and brought it back to the fam -- we were sold. Everything was delicious. We ordered a couple of platters with a smorgasbord of amazing flavors. People loved it. We loved it. They have interesting flavors and choices for those with dietary restrictions, so that everyone could enjoy. We left paper bags out for people to take some home. My favorite flavor is probably the Peanut Butter and the Lemon Moon... but honestly, all of it is good. Never had a bad cookie from here. We ended up moving into the neighborhood a couple of years ago, and so we love coming here for an occasional treat and it always makes a great gift -- especially when you need to get a gift and don't know them well. Who doesn't love cookies?!? Also what's great: their pricing is reasonable. With everything so expensive nowadays, it's nice to get something high quality and priced reasonably. Great for those days when you want "just a little something" without going nuts. Please support this amazing neighborhood small biz! read more

I love their cookies so soft and the perfect size one of the best cookies in Santa Rosa

Delicious cookies, amazing customer service from the owner personally, & an incredible list of flavor choices (including multiple gluten free & Vegan options as well- all without compromising flavor!) We order 160 cookies with an array of flavors. Cookies arrived via delivery on time, and neatly packaged with a handwritten note labeling each flavor, and an ingredient list for every cookie. Cookies are the perfect cross between chewy and crispy. They are soft, fresh & not overly sweet. Would highly recommend this shop and can't wait to order from them again. It's not always easy to please a crowd, but everyone had nothing but good things to say! There was a flavor for everyone! :) Thank you, Tracy! read more

I ordered yesterday through door dash for delivery today for my friends birthday. The DoorDash driver showed up and was informed they weren't "doing DoorDash today". I spoke w the employee on the DoorDashers phone and she essentially said I was SOL. I'd already paid for the order and the poor driver was there! At my urging she called her boss, who also said SOL, they decided to "turn off" DoorDash so supposedly couldn't see my order. I don't live in SR and have never been here in person and see they have great reviews and am so disappointed by this experience. I had my DoorDash email of proof of the order I wish they'd been able to do something about it and most of all I feel bad for the DoorDash driver for wasting his time as I know they aren't paid much. Update: I was not at all rude to the staff :) read more

I appreciate the gluten free options. With holidays coming, this is my go to place for yummy cookies.

Delicious cookies. Nice selection. Fair price and friendly service. Speedy service. Decent presentation tray

Stopped at this cookie shop. Cute find! Gives you the happy joys joys whether your eating the cookies or giving as a gift. The person I gifted the cookie sampler was happy to receive. Got to sample their lemon cookie. Yum! read more

The cookies are great and service is great too! I will be ordering again. We got the chocolate lover pack and the chocolate chip cookies are just how I like them. Also, nothing is overly sweet like Crumbl. So good! read more

After trying their bagged cookies from a local pizzeria, we decided to order some for delivery. We wanted to try the Easter tin, my kids loved the egg shaped ones. More specifically the cookies all had great flavors, I'm glad I got the lemon ones twice because it was balanced sour and sweet, I want more and more. the triple chocolate were darker chocolate flavor which offset some of the more sugar coated ones. The snickerdoodle were more flaky instead of chewy in consistency. The classic chocolate chip was salty and sweet, making them irresistible. I appreciate the efforts from the owner for getting our order out to us & making some yummy recipes that inspire me to share these with people we know. I'll be ordering again when I head back to work. Otherwise I'll be trying to find a day to visit the store in person & get more! read more

Every now and then I get a craving for tasty cookies. I want to "take a bite!" When I located the shop, I was having one of those days.... cookies, cookies, got to find some cookies. The shop is in a shopping center area, easily accessible. It's a cheerful shop with sparkling, gleaming counters, showcases, and kitchen area behind the counter. Pops of red, my favorite color for feeling great. My selections required a red box, and the young lady who served me was patient as I made my choices. The service altogether was friendly and fun. When I finish my box of cookies, I can bring it back for more and receive a free cookie! Why not 5 stars? The cookies are on the small side. They're so good that I want them to be larger. read more

Cookie...Take A Bite! - I'll take my red box back for an extra cookie next time - Desserts Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Once you take a bite out of the delectable sweet creations found at Cookie...Take A Bite!, I guarantee you'll be back for more! Located in the Larkfield Shopping Center in the Larkfield Wikiup neighborhood of Santa Rosa, Cookie...Take A Bite! is the passion project of owner and chief cookie maker Tracy Mattson, who takes cookie making to a whole new level. Mattson is known for her creations that may be small in size, but they emphasize her creativity with quality organic ingredients. With her signature cookies she took inspiration from cafes and bakeries that one would see in Europe, with the ultimate goal of being to give customers her cookies that are not overly sweet or overwhelming in size. Following a weekend brunch activity, a friend and I were looking for a treat to satisfy our craving sweet tooth and my friend recommended Cookie...Take A Bite! after she went multiple times in the past to pick up not only treats for herself but treats for her dog as well. One of the many reasons she came back for multiple visits was the fact that the ingredients printed on the back of every back every bag were familiar ingredients that one would find in any grocery store. Located in the interior of the outdoor shopping center, parking is plentiful thanks to the large lot. Upon entry, one will notice that the storefront of Cookie...Take A Bite! is rather small as the majority of their actual shop is their cookie kitchen, of which it is used for both the creation of cookies for not only their shop, but for catering and packages for their cookie membership club. Once you open their front door, the first thing that greets you is their case of sweet little cookies. And on this day they had nine cookie varieties available. One of the best things about the cookies at Cookie...Take A Bite! is very inexpensive as it is recommended that you mix and match your cookie purchases and they sell them at 25 dollars for 36 cookies, 10 dollars for 14 cookies and 5 dollars for 6 cookies or 1 dollar each. I thought that the 14 cookies were just right for my appetite and there were seven cookies in their case that I wanted to double up on, so everything worked out. I decided to order two each of their Plum Jam Thumbprint cookies and their Oatmeal Raisin cookies, both of which were labeled as new. I also ordered two of their Tequila Lime Twist cookies, which won them a 2019 Best of Show Cookie award, two of their Classic Chocolate Chip cookies, two of their Triple Chocolate Threat, two of their Snickerdoodle Sugar cookies and two of their Roasted Peanut Butter cookies, which are also gluten-free. Packaged in a perfect carrying case made of red cardboard, once I got home I tore into one of my Triple Chocolate Threat cookies and I could instantly tell the quality ingredients that Mattson puts into every bite. After having a second cookie, I noticed how each bite consisted of a flavor that wasn't overly indulgent but managed to handily my craving for something on the sweeter side. A real star cookie to me was their Tequila Lime Twist, which had equal parts sweetness from the sugar and sourness from the lime to make for the perfect treat. This was so good, I can't wait to see what other special flavors they concoct at Cookie...Take A Bite! The fact that I got 14 cookies for only 10 dollars is the truly remarkable feat. My only regret is that I only decided to order only 14 cookies as I easily could have purchased an additional 6 cookies for 5 dollars. Obviously, Cookie...Take A Bite! is going to be a regular stop whenever I'm up in the Santa Rosa area, I can't think of a more perfect place to stop off before heading to a wine tasting north of there. Wine and cookies, could there be a better pairing? They are closed on Sundays, which means a Saturday visit is a must, but when we got there at about 2 p.m. they still had plenty of inventory left and as I write this, I am personally trying to figure out how to save up my inventory as each cookie that I try is tastier than the next. There's a little bit of love with each cookie made at Cookie...Take A Bite! and I am savoring each and every morsel! read more

What a fabulous cookie bakery. My first visit was a complete joy. The staff is friendly , welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. I loved the fact that their cookie menu is seasonal and imaginative. The cookie size is perfect for a few bites, not too big and not too small - just right for me. The price is very good for a great cookie, too! Need to bring cookies to an event just come here and spare yourself the headache and stress. read more

It was so good the first time I had to come back again and again! Plus I had to get my dog his treats as the first time I came they were sold out (they are popular). Tracy's cookies are so delicious, they have lots of flavor and are so moist. And when I say moist, I mean they are not hard the next day as they are still moist. I've tried many of Tracy's cookies from the Triple Chocolate Treat, Ginger Honey Snap, Chocolate Raspberry Splash, Classic Chocolate Chip (I tasted a hint of salt or maybe sea salt which gave it that extra yum factor), Peanut Butter, Thumb Print Jam, various Meringues (the espresso meringues was delicious!) and so many more. But I think absolute favorite, though I love them all, is the Tequila Lime Twist. This was so light and refreshing and the lime flavor just brought it all together. And the prices are just right. I've purchased the 14 for $10 and the 36 for $25 and considering my last trip was restaurant week, and purchased 36 cookies I got 3 extra as a restaurant week treat. And there are gluten free as well as vegan options. And one more thing that sets this place apart from others....they even make treats for your pooch. That's right, they make a pumpkin & parsley treat for your dog. It's a bag for $8 and I can tell you that my dog loves these treats! So there literally is something for everyone. You can even order tins of cookies online and have them delivered. They can have other services such as catering, special occasions and corporate gifts. They are taking all Covid precautions including only one customer or one party in at a time. Gloves and face masks are being worn by employees and customers are required to wear masks. This is my new go-to cookie store! read more

Oh, my gosh. Freshly baked cookies, delivered within an hour and still warm upon arrival? With cookies this good this fast and easily, who needs lunch? We ordered the Catering Box, and chose Lemon Moon, Cranberry Oatmeal Crunch, and Sonoma Trekker, a vegan, gluten-free almond-cardamon concoction. All three were very tasty, but those first two are more like traditional cookies. Next time you crave cookies, place your order, then brew some fresh coffee or tea. You should be eating, swooning, and thanking your lucky stars soon after your beverage of choice is ready. Enjoy! read more

If you have not found this little shop yet, you need to go hunt it down. The owner is super friendly and there was a huge variety of different cookies, even gluten free! I got a mix of all the different ones and we've only tried the Snickerdoodle and chocolate chip so far, but they are already a big hit with the family! Perfect mix of gooey and soft! read more

Check out this cookie shop for the first time today and was immediately knocked off my feet with the amazing smell of freshly baked cookies. They had a large variety and were bring out fresh ones right as I came in. I love that they constantly carry vegan and gluten free items and are changing up some of the flavors they carry. The place was super clean and service was great. I got the dog treats (my dog inhaled these when I got home) 2 each of chocolate chip, double chocolate, chocolate raspberry, lemon moon and snickerdoodle. I WAS MOT DISAPPOINTED! I love the glaze they put on some of the cookies, it's add a fresh tartness to it and they have the perfect sweetness balance. I'll definitely be back! read more

Yummy cookies. I placed an order online. The process was super easy. We picked up the cookies and thoroughly enjoyed the treat.

Yummyyyy - I picked these up for my husband on Friday afternoon and didn't give them to him until today, so now I can write an honest review. What tasty cookies! They taste like your grandma's homemade cookies, not stock piled mass produced ones. My current favorite is the lemon blueberry - so good! My husband is currently nibbling through all of them and enjoying each one Tip - order ahead of time! I went on a Friday during lunch and there was limited selection because they had so many orders to fill, but the cookies I did get did not disappoint! Excited to have a new cookie spot a few miles from my house! read more

This is a Goldilocks and the Three Bears kind of a business: Some cookie businesses make gigantic cookies that are so overly sweet they should come with a Type 2 Diabetes warning, some businesses make cookies that are on the dry side and lack flavor, and then there is Cookie... Take a Bite!, which offers perfectly sized cookies, moist on the inside and crisp on the outside, which are just sweet enough, without overwhelming your palate. I read all the great reviews, and I needed to bring a dessert item to an event last night, so I went in and bought two cookies, went outside to try them, and immediately went back in to order a tray of 36 cookies, 6 different flavors. I chose Snickerdoodle Sugar, Chocolate Chip, Lemon Moon, Chocolate Raspberry, Peanut Butter and Biscotti. The cookies were a hit at the meeting, and many people who tried them complimented me on my homemade cookies, until I told them about this great business. They really do taste like something your grandma just took out of the oven. The peanut butter cookie is the best I've ever had, not too crumbly, perfectly moist and chewy, and a rich, delicious flavor. The chocolate chip cookies and the lemon cookies were especially popular at the event, and the biscotti I brought to my mother was devoured with a cup of coffee and a declaration that it was the best biscotti she'd ever tasted. This is an exceptional business that clearly puts a lot of love and effort into their creations. Also, I was struck by the reasonable prices and the excellent packaging. It's nice to see a small business getting so deliciously right. read more

2/11/24 I was so fortunate that twice on Saturday I had their fabulous cookies = so delicious, creative and dependable fine quality:-) The first event was at The Schulz Museum's Valentine's Day party and the second event was at The 6th Street Playhouse!! A Huge Thank You to COOKIE... take a bite!:-) read more

I just got a cookie platter delivered via Door Dash and WOW! These cookies were still hot and tasted so fresh! My sister and I were craving some sweet treats and we are so pleased we found this little gem. We ordered the classic chocolate chip, snickerdoodle sugar, and peanut butter drop. All 3 are so delicious (my favorite being the peanut butter.) Not too sweet, not too crispy or too soft. Perfect! 36 cookies for $25.00 is not a bad deal at all. We will definitely be ordering again when that sweets craving arises. read more

Descent little cookie. I had a variety of flavors and i would have to agree that the Lemon cookie is the prime choice. All the others seemed more like a hint of flavor and very small portions. The apple cookie was a big let down, was more bread than anything. read more

One of my very favorite local businesses! Tracy Mattson is an incredibly talented pastry chef, and these cookies are unlike any you've experienced - super addictive!! I love buying family members cookie tins for holidays, and stopping by their storefront in Wikiup is always a sweet experience... the staff so friendly and welcoming, and always happy to help with choosing (and trust me it's hard not to choose ALL of them!) My far and away faves are the gluten-free peanut butter drops. Seriously unreal delicious! Navigating a small business through the pandemic is incredibly challenging - costs and supplies are soaring, special packaging and PPE requirements contantly changing - and I'm vowing to keep all my upcoming holiday gifting with small local businesses like CTAB. Thank you Tracy and team - appreciate you!! read more

Love to stop by and get fresh cookies. Simply the best!! My favorite has to be the lemon. But really, it's hard to choose because they are all so good. read more

They definitely need a Muppet security guard here because once Cookie Monster finds out about this place there's going to be trouble! There is no way he could resist a little B&E (Breaking and Eating). This is an amazing operation, from their impressive daily selection of unique and tasty treats to their cool open kitchen where you can watch the bakers hard at work turning out the 1-2 bite delights. The staff are super friendly and helpful with detailed descriptions of the currently available cookies, some of which are gluten free. I picked up a 14 cookie selection which was beautifully packed with tissue paper in a cute red box. I loved all the ones I tried but the traditional peanut butter cookies and the Aztec chocolate were my favorites. This is a great local business that makes interesting and high quality cookies that make great gifts or refreshments for parties (when we can have those again). read more

Cookie...Take A Bite! - 6 cookies in the cutest little box! - Desserts Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I love this place. I love supporting small local businesses, and this is one of my favorites. Anyone who is looking for cookies, I direct them here. The cookies are different every day, so you never know exactly what you're going to get. They are small, two or three bite cookies, so you can get a variety without feeling like you've gone overboard. They come in cute little boxes with a handle on top, and they are all so delicious. It's been a little while since I've been here, which means it's time to stop by, but I remember all the cookies being the perfect texture. The peanut butter and the ginger cookies are both chewy, exactly how they should be. The meringue was light and fluffy on top, chewy on the bottom. The lemon cookie is light and delicious. I sent a box of cookies to my mom for mother's day and she was thrilled. I even got my work to order a cookie tray, and they were gone within a couple of hours. I'm a customer for life. read more

We got delicious cookies for a family get together from this place recently. Every cookie was very good, including the pumpkin biscotti, which I just enjoyed with my morning coffee. My favorite cookie was the chocolate one that was smeared on one side with peppermint flavored icing. Yum! Our two dogs got complimentary home made bite-sized dog biscuits too. Honestly, the cookies were even better than a new business I tried recently--no names mentioned. At the other place you get ONE big cookie for $5 in a pink box. At Cookie...Take a Bite for $5 you get 6 smaller cookies that come in a cute red box. I prefer being able to choose six different flavors rather than just one. I like variety. When I bring the red box back to fill up (and I will!!) I'll get an additional complimentary cookie. Try this place out and skip those other pink boxes. These cookies are just like home made and you can try a variety. You can buy individual cookies if you want a small, tasty treat or you can fill up three different sized boxes. I think the boxes hold 6, 14, or 36 cookies. By the way, I'm including a picture of the empty box because the cookies didn't last long enough for a photo op! read more

Cookie . . .Take A Bite! donated a Platinum Variety Cookie Tin gift certificate to the Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County organization for their annual fund raising auction. Couldn't resist the pics of those luscious cookies and I was lucky enough to have the winning bid! I finally got around to cashing in my gift certificate and it was a very pleasant "no muss, no fuss" experience. Tracy was very friendly in answering all my questions and got my prize off in the mail on the date I requested. So - customer service was excellent! Now - for the cookies - like little bites of heaven. I've only had 3 kinds so far, and each was just as delicious as the one before it. I've had their Chocolate Chip (can't go wrong here), Lemon Moon and the Orange and Vanilla Swirl. LOVED all the flavors I've tried so far. These are certainly the best cookies I've eaten in some time and it's nice to know that they are made with only the finest ingredients. If you want a special treat for yourself, I encourage you to try these cookies. If you're in the neighborhood, you're lucky enough that you can just drop in. Fortunately, for those of us living a bit farther away, mail order is available. Don't wait for the holidays - treat yourself to something from Cookie . . . Take a Bite! ASAP P.S. They offer gift certificates, too, so if you're not sure exactly what your cookie loving friends would like, you can leave the choices up to them. read more

Tracy went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver cookies over a holiday weekend. Not only was the gift presentation beautiful but the goods themselves were freshly baked day of and so delicious! When searching for cookie gift orders online I was hit with a barrage of large corporate websites, but instead of clicking on those I opted to shop local, and it was the right move! The shop had a quick response, easy ordering, and high quality goods. And of course Tracy's baking talent is amazing! Looking forward to ordering more this holiday season. read more

The best experience! I found out about Cookie...Take a Bite at the Women in Conversation event last fall. Their sample cookies were so good. When my office needed a thank you gift for another team, I suggested Cookie...Take a Bite and the order and delivery were smooth and the recipients are still talking about the good flavors and freshness of the cookies. Today I visited the store to put together a tin of cookies to send to our friends and Tracy was super friendly and helpful. She even gave a delicious lemon cookie to me to try so I could decide on including it. Of course I did. She is even shipping our cookies to our friends. read more

Thanks so much for making all your customers happy! read more

This is a wonderful bakery tucked away in the Larkfield Shopping Center. The cookie selection is rotating/seasonal, and always has something to suit everyone in our family. This is no mean feat, since some family members have celiac, and another is allergic to dairy.

I've ordered gift tins for friends and staff, and have heard nothing but rave reviews.The owner, Tracy, is delightful, and I love supporting such a great local business! read more

Honestly I wanted to like the cookies but I don't... the snickerdoodle needs more sugar and cinnamon. Just takes like flour.

Friendly business people though. read more
