Fun Tasty Cookies & fun-loving interior! Food: Cookies 5/5 all round -Salted Carmel (warm and delicious) -Chocolate Chunk (tasty) -Mille Bottle: Milk & S'more combo (see picture) They warm up the cookies so they're nice and warm and tasty.

They have their own mascot and a lot of fun designs. Service: -The staff is very friendly and helpful if you need any suggestions -Line the line can get long due to the high demand but if you have the time it's worth checking out! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Man, I may be in the minority here, but I thought this spot was so overhyped. The decor of the store - or Cookie Bar I should say - caught our eyes our first day in Queenstown. It's got bright colors, cartoon-y Cookie mascot, and merch everywhere. Cookie Time is a NZ brand icon, which is awesome! I loooove that they have gluten free options, and we found those in gas stations and convenience stores throughout NZ. However, our actual visit to the Cookie Bar was lackluster at best. The line was crazy long, the wait for cookies was long, and there were a few things that broke the magic: like there being "milk taps" but they're just for show - the milk is prepackaged. And you can see the rough-looking cookie warmer behind the station of unenthusiastic workers. The cookies and milk were good, but didn't blow our minds - maybe that's because we're used to fresh warm cookies like Sweet Martha's in Minnesota. There's very little seating inside so you have to take it to go or jockey for a barstool while everyone waits inside for their order to be ready. The brand and packaged items are great, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this to a friend heading to Queenstown. read more

There's only 3 locations worldwide and the Queenstown one definitely has longer lines than Dunedin. Because it's more popular the lines are usually a little longer, but I would still recommend waiting. All their items are delicious. The icecream sandwiches or milkshakes, etc. it's really hard to go wrong. If you want a souvenir you can get an item with a glass milk bottle. The cookies themselves are tasty and the icecream is great. If you like desserts, I would say this is a must visit. There's a lot of unique decorations inside and packaged cookie items as well. The quality stays consistent when comparing Dunedin and Queenstown! read more

3.5 stars...Cookie time, cookies & milkshakes ... A bit overrated in my opinion but cute in a gimmicky way & very expensive. You decide if it's worth the hype. Hubby and I tried two different milkshakes, the vanilla and double chocolate cookies and cream milkshake and the double fudge cookies and cream milkshake. We also purchased four cookies for Takeaway. The fudge double chocolate, the caramel chew, the golden oat and the regular chocolate chunk, these were all hot and I must say very good. Nice crunchy edges & soft interior. The shakes were on the chunky thick side, garnished, and definitely rich. They actually are a full meal, and I recommend sharing one if you are going to try them as a couple but the problem will be deciding on which flavor you both can agree on! They have a s'mores, a coffee cookies, and milk, a salted caramel, ice cream sandwiches, and of course, cookies and milk. You can customize the combinations and you have many options for purchasing their famous cookies for take away as well. When in Q-town, it's worth a stop. read more

I won't lie - this cookie was a bit overhyped! There are typically long lines at this location in Queenstown because it has become a well known name. Of course there's something to be said that it is so popular however the cookies were certainly not the best I've ever had. You are better off trying something more unique to Queenstown like the sweets shop or the fergbakery or gelato! read more

Nice place, nice people and decent cookies etc. No reason not to really like this place. If you're nearby you should definitely stop in. Something for just about everyone. read more

Went there twice during my trip to Queenstown - and bought one chocolate milk drink (milk bottle one), and one cookie shake (one of each on the two days that I went). Also bought cookies. The cookies are so fresh and amazing, and both drinks came with a cookie, the milk bottle one came with a smore instead of a single cookie - you have the option to choose between a smore or a single cookie. (the milk chocolate one obviously came with a smaller one due to the size of the bottle it was served in). The cookie shake also had ice cream on top of the normal sized cookie. The staff were helpful and friendly. Well worth the money spent. When you come to Queenstown, you MUST stop here for a cookie and/or a drink. It is an amazing place, plus the fun and lively vibe. read more

Cookie Time is massive in New Zealand. You can't drive to a town in NZ without seeing a Cookie Time billboard or sign. The cookies from grocery stores are pretty good, so when I saw that they had a store I was pretty excited! It's a bit strange that they market it as a bar though. I could imagine kids ordering their cookies shakes and asking the cashier for a little something special inside, "Give me the hard stuff like my dad drinks on weekends".. "Ok sure... But you have to yell cookies 3 times loud" "COOKIES COOKIES COOKIES!!" This place isn't a bar.. more of a cafe I'd say. There's no alcohol here, sorry party animals. But they do have cookies, ice cream, and shakes! There was a line, of course.. Everything decent in Queenstown has a line. But, they hook you up with fresh mini cookies to eat while you wait in line! Loved that, and the cookies were dank! Inspired me to buy one of their buckets filled with those mini cookies. Was not disappointed. May or may not have ate too many on my road trip back to home. But that's what Cookie Time will do to a person. There are a lot worse things to be addicted too I suppose. I also got a salted caramel flake shake($9). It was good, but after I got halfway through it I started to feel a sick of it. And I LOVE sweets. So if I think it's too much, it's too much. It would be nice if they offered it in a smaller size. It is an expensive shop, cookies and shakes are pricey but it comes with the territory. Queenstown is an expensive city. Expect to pay high everywhere you go. 4 stars for the cookies and first few sips of my shake haha. The decor inside is cute too. The mascot looks like cookie monster's cracked out brother with a lil LGBTQ flair. If I ever go back to Queenstown I will come back! read more

I originally gave this cookie Spot 5 stars until I received The package ordered via The website. These were Not the same as I had in Queenstown. Unfortunate For my initial Euphoria. The cookies sent were Dry Thick and not made As if they cared. I have never seen a product Change so much. To me it's literally not the Same Cookie. Almost like A 'Bait and Switch' Scam. The only reason there is Still a 3 star rating is because Of my experience in Queenstown at the shop. I Guess that's just how 'The Cookie Crumbles' ( read more

We walked by this place and stopped in because it looked so cute. Their cookie icon looks like a friendlier version of Cookie Monster. The cookies were so delicious that we went back for more. The triple chocolate and white chocolate macadamia were both delicious but my favorite was the chocolate chunk. The cookies and cream shot was also delicious. read more

I got the vegan double chocolate cashew shake and it tasted like icy brown cashew milk. I tried my brothers cookies and cream shake (non vegan) and it was sweet, and good like how a shake should be. Mine was bland, icy, and not appetizing. After 2 sips I threw it out. Wasn't worth having even if it did cost $11. read more

This place is definitely overpriced as mentioned in the other reviews. The mini cone with cookie dough was so small! See picture below. They have many flavors of the no bake cookie dough if you're into that. The employee also didn't wear any gloves or use a napkin to pick up the cone. I was definitely disappointed by the cookies. A lot of people mentioned the salted caramel but it was not soft at all or warm. read more

I think these might be the best cookies I have ever had in my entire life. Warm, chocolatey, light, gooey, deliciousness. Very buttery--extremely buttery. I tried the regular chocolate chip and the milk chocolate, caramel, and fudge cookie and both times I had to close my eyes while eating. It was that good. They're a bit pricey, at $3 a piece, but worth it, and during happy hour from 6-7, it's 2 for $3, in which case it's definitely the best cookie in the world. I was a little skeptical when I first heard about it--I mean how good can a cookie really be? But that was my mistake. You win, Cookie Time, you win read more

Where do I start?! This place is a dessert heaven and very photo friendly! Opens early in the morning and stays open until late in the evening which is perfect for sweet cravings at anytime. Their edible cookie dough selection was my favorite part and sooo delicious! The shakes are also amazing! They had plenty of pre- packaged cookie options as well, making it painless for tourists to take these delicious treats home with them. The merchandise is also very cute. I'd highly recommend a smokes cookie and trying out the edible cookie dough. You won't regret it! read more

COOKIES!!! OMG every time I walked down Camp Street, they tempted me with the smell of sweet, sweet goodness that is CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. I resisted initially, then one day the chill in the air got the best of me and I stepped inside. "Hello there!" was the greeting as I stepped through the door. I don't think I've ever been so enthusiastically greeted in my life. I perused through the menu, as I mainly wanted a hot chocolate, but there was so much else to choose from! The lady that greeted me saw that I hadn't made up my mind so she handed me a paper cup of something. "Caramel coffee milkshake," she explained. I taste it and it was GOOD. Made me start considering the cold drinks, despite the temperature. Another lady behind the desk hands me another cup. "If you liked THAT one, you will LOVE this one," she said. I drank the second one, which I took to be Cookies n' Cream. She grinned and nodded. "Better, right?" To be honest, I told her I liked the first one better. Her face fell, disappointed that I didn't agree with her views. But she understood my reasoning (caramel coffee milkshake was smoother). I ended up ordering a Gingerbread Mocha (right? RIGHT!?) and agreed to all the crazy whipped cream and gingerbread toppings, as I didn't want to further disappoint her. Even if in the end, I had to scrape off the topping to even BEGIN to drink my mocha. Which was GOOD by the way. I also returned here the following day to get some cookies, as that is what they are known for. The smell had, once again, drawn me in, and I saw that they were removing freshly baked cookies from the oven. They had just finished resting on the cooling, so I immediately pointed out those cookies (which happened to be double chocolate). I also thought to get a white chocolate cranberry cookie, just for kicks. The double chocolate was EXACTLY what I was smelling every day, so it was satisfying to finally get that out of my system. The white chocolate cranberry was a bit of a letdown, but that was most likely due to my satisfaction with the double chocolate cookie. Good thing it was cheat day. :) read more

If you've had a Cookie Time cookie from a local NZ grocery store, the chances are that it was probably hard and a little stale. But, if you happen to be in Queenstown, you must stop by this Cookie Time shop for some hot, fresh cookies all day, everyday. These cookies are fresh, soft and delicious. They also offer edible cookie dough in a variety of flavors and ice cream as well. My son really enjoyed their organic whole milk which comes with a few fresh mini chocolate chip cookies. If you have a sweet tooth, definitely stop by when you're in the mood for dessert. You will not be disappointed. read more

Two words: SMORES COOKIE!! The s'mores cookie was amazing. I dont know what they do to they're marshmallows but wow they're good. I had the cookie taster shake (I think that's what it was called) and my hubby had the smores shake. If I were to go back, I wouldn't get a shake, I would stick to the cookies. This place is good and the atmosphere is cool. I love that they do karaoke! read more

Finger-licking, giggle-producing, stomach-growling deliciousness. We got one of the mega milkshakes and shared it in the sun by the lake. A sweet addition to a lovely day in Queenstown. Docked a star because we felt the price to be a little high for a milkshake and cookie read more

Was excited to try this place! Their store is very cute with a ton of decorations giving it a bright and fun vibe. I had the mini chocolate chunk cookie and chocolate milk, which comes in an adorable little glass milk jug. However, be warned it is pretty overpriced. I paid $8.50 NZD for a glass of chocolate milk and a mini cookie. Neither were anything special. I had higher hopes for cookie time. read more

Cute gimmick. The hot cookies are definitely tasty. Thin, moist and chewy. I'm not sure how the packaged cookies taste though, they do look a bit different. Prices are a little on the higher side. Did get souvenirs from here to bring back home. Cute packaging and decor around the store. Do a quick sign-in at one of the two kiosks in there and spin to win something. I've only seen people win a free hot cookie, definitely a good idea to get people to buy something in store. Didn't try their cookie ice cream sandwiches, but they did look good! read more

The cookies are a bit pricey, but delicious. I definitely recommend going during the happy hour when you can get buy one get one free.

Moist, tasty, soft, thin cookies. I can't quite get excited about the place tho. Maybe it's too cute or too expensive for me, or I'm used to Diddy Riese pricing back home? 3.5 stars. Good but not cheap. read more

Wow, cookielicious Tried the salted caramel flake shake and feel like I'm in a sugar induced high. The smores cookie was soft, warm and yummy. Bought a couple of big packs of mini cookies for the peeps at home. Great stop for the kiddies or if you need to indulge that sweet tooth read more

I love cookie time! This place was around the corner from our hostel and we went almost every afternoon or night to get cookies, milk, coffee, or fun toys. We also ended up spending almost $50-$60 on sending cookies to friends in other countries. $10 to send a cookie postcard was totally worth it. Had a fun time tasting cookies. Make sure to stop by between 8 and 9am for $1 coffee! Unfortunately one of my 5 cookie post cards did not make it to its destination :( read more

I came here twice during my visit to Queenstown and still have no idea why so many people queue up for the cookies here. So I tried four different kinds of cookies to see which ones I liked and well I have to say that none of them impressed me as I had hoped. The main appeal for this establishment has to be that cute red monster mascot just outside and also I have to admit that some of the ladies that work here are cute. Also the location of Cookie Time is a big draw it seems especially for tourists walking around. Overall the cookies were just average and at $3 per cookie it doesn't seem worth it for me. The only time I even bothered to come was for happy hour 6-7 PM where you can get two cookies for the same price. read more

I was disappointed by this place. I came here thinking I found the cookie paradise. We ordered four different kinds of cookies (banoffee, caramel, fudge, and cranberry) the flavors of each was really similar and we mainly tasted the dough. The cookie itself was just ok but didn't have a certain kick that makes you say ahhhhh. In my opinion subway cookies are better. read more

We went in by accident and each member of the team ended up having a cookie . The following days we tried chocolate, salted caramel, lemon and white chocolate, jaffa and hokey pokey, bannofi and blueberry with hazelnut crumble and just could not have enough. A MUST DO in QT read more

Good fresh cookies but I can't say that they're super special. I guess it's a local company (similar to Mrs. Fields back in the states). Good thing is just eating them fresh and warm - the center is still gooey and the outer edge is crunchy. The standard chocolate chunk isn't too sweet! read more

This place was the definition of sensory overload. The cookies were actually pretty good but not sure if the awkward mix of it being a "bar" but also marketed towards kids was executed well. But despite how ubiquitous the creepy Cookie Monster mascot was throughout NZ, my friends and I became endeared to the place and would excitedly yell "it's Cookie Time!" upon spotting one so I guess job well done? read more

Although the cookies here were really tasty and they also had some really yummy looking ice cream treats, I had to knock down a star for customer service. There were two girls working at the time and I went in just to buy some cookies. I stood in line waiting for what seemed like forever and only one girl happened to be working the register while I am not sure what the other girl was doing. read more

Delicious. We tried salted caramel, lemon and white chocolate, jaffa and hokey pokey, bannofi and blueberry with hazelnut crumble. They have a happy hour, which really all bakeries should have. They also have free wifi, for the win! The pre-packaged cookies aren't as good as the fresh ones, but I suppose that's to be expected. I love that you can ship a cookie anywhere in the world, too. read more

Although I love myself a good cookie, I usually try to eat them infrequently given the unfortunate confluence of aging and a slowing metabolism. Neither apply when on vacation, though, so when I saw a shop with a rather familiar red furry 'Cookie Muncher' on the storefront, I figured I would have to stop by at least once to give them a try. In the end, I ended up paying a couple of trips, and boy was I happy to! You can order cookies individually, or in prepackaged bags in various sizes, as well as a few other treats. On a standalone basis, I had the chocolate chunk and the chocolate fudge brownie cookies, and both were fantastic. I think it starts with the dough, where it isn't overly sweet, yet it has a distinctive hearty doughiness that is the perfect palette for baking a cookie. Both cookies are served warm and gooey, making every bite delicious, and the brownie cookie really does taste like a brownie while maintaining the texture of a chewy cookie instead! My wife also grabbed a mini ice cream sandwich, pairing a scoop of honey almond ice cream between half a chocolate chip cookie. The ice cream on a standalone basis is really good - the honey and almond complement each other perfectly - but it also matches up really nicely with the cookie, adding a bit of sweetness to it, along with a cooler temperature. The only minor gripe one could have is that the price is probably a tad high if you are not buying in bulk (single cookies go for NZD $3), but the taste is well worth it. The lady behind the counter was very pleasant and let us sample cookies as well, which is always a plus. It might come off as a bit kitschy, but Cookie Time is a great place to stop for a tasty, scrumptious snack. read more
