Love this place! We stopped in for some treats while in Toronto for the holiday markets. I love their concept where they give a percentage of revenues to a local charity! And this is the first cookie place I've been to offering daily deals, like a 7th free cookie if you buy a half dozen. Cookies here are large and just a little more 'unique' than standard 'flavors' - like instead of chocolate chip they have chocolate chunk; their triple chocolate is a chocolate cookie base with white and chocolate chunks; their snickerdoodle has spices...etc. On the day I visited there were maybe 9 flavors to choose from and 2 were 'signature flavors'. I didn't get a pic of the cookie display because the space was busy, so instead snapped the colorful interior. Then when it was my turn, I got 2 cookies which were the perfect amount of sweet, chewy, a little crunch, and a little salt. Cookies were $3.30 each Canadian, which I also think is a pretty good value considering how large they are; in the states cookies like this would be $5 or more each. read more

I had a peanut butter cookie and it was really good! Not super sweet, fresh and chewy. It was $3.40 plus tax for one cookie. There's no seating at this location but they have a small dog treat box. read more

Courage cookies has made it into my top 3 cookies spots in the GTA. Le Gourmand being #1 and Felix and Norton being #2. Ranked from most to least fave: Angel pillow 5/5 Skor 5/5 Oreo 3/5 Chocolate chunk 3/5 White chocolate candy cane 2/5 Brown butter Rice Krispies 2/5 Box of 6 = $20 Angel pillow is actually what my cookie dreams are made of. It's JUST DOUGH. Nothing else and it's amazing. The flavours, the texture, the chewiness. It's a perfectly plain cookie. (Fun story: My childhood bff would make the best chocolate chip cookies and she knew I would always eat the ones with the least chocolate chips, so she would try and make some for me that only had like 2-3 chips and mostly dough lol) I knew I should've gotten 2 skor cookies cuz these hit just right. The toffee bits blended in with the butter from the cookie dough is aaaamazing. Again with the texture, nice crispy outer layer and perfect chewy centre. I was surprised I liked the Oreo because I thought I wasn't going to. Big Oreo flavour without too much. You could still taste the cookie dough. I would have ranked chocolate chunk higher than Oreo if it wasn't for the sea salt. I'm not a fan of sea salt on cookies and often find the salt not distributed well. This makes for very salty bites, which I'm not about. Without the salt, it would have been a great chocolate chunk cookie. I liked the texture of the white chocolate candy cane but that's pretty much it. I blame it on me eating gum beforehand, so I couldn't really taste the cookies full potential. So this is probably more my fault. Seeing how the brown butter Rice Krispie is I think one of their most popular cookies, it was actually my least favourite. It could have been because I consumed it the day after I bought it but I just wasn't a fan. I didn't like the texture, as I found it a bit tough. The flavour was just whatever. I wasn't blown away. Besides all this, Courage Cookies has the perfect texture for a cookie. One I'm often looking for when purchasing cookies. A nice slightly crispy outer layer and a soft chewy centre. I'm so glad they had a pop up at Sherway, otherwise I might've never tried them, as I don't frequent the DT area. I hope to come back before their pop up is gone! read more

Soft and chewy cookies, traditional and interesting flavours. A bit on the pricier side but kudos to them for donating some of it to do good in the world. Service was friendly and efficient. Location is in the Stakd Market so there's other stuff to see and it's pretty accessible. Stop by if the cookie mo ster in you needs a treat! read more

I was exploring the area and saw the sandwich board menu that showed the $5 cookie & coffee special. When I took a second to look around, I noticed the cheerful yellow table + chairs outside, the cute design of the sign, and the colourful display near the window. I was like wow, whoever created the design/decor here needs a raise! LOL. I was so happy to look at it and felt naturally drawn to go inside to order something. The person at the counter was very friendly and answered my questions about the chocolate chip cookie. I opted to order 1 of the chocolate chip cookies and an iced americano for the $5 special. The cookie blew my mind. It had crunchy edges, a soft / chewy centre, smooth melty chocolate and salt sprinkled on top. I love salt on top of cookies because it balances the flavours so well. I decided to eat the cookie and enjoy my drink outside while sitting on the cheerful yellow table and chair. I was just visiting from Vancouver and felt like this experience was one of the highlights of my whole trip :) read more

Overall I had a good experience and I appreciate that they strive to give back to the community continuously. My favorite flavor was reconnect which I thought was the most adventurous flavor cuz I wasn't really sure what was in it however the cookie dough was tasty and there was a lot of different things nuts and chocolates inside and it paired really well together My least favorite cookie was the mini egg cookie the dough of that cookie had no flavor at all it was bland and if there was no mini eggs in it there would be no point of this cookie LOL. The oatmeal cookie was good it was chewy and sweet. The feeling inside the red velvet cookie was super delicious! These cookies are a bit on the half baked side so I did put them in the oven because I like my cookies to be a little bit burnt on the edges they're also thick which I love as well. read more

Their chocolate chip cookie is one of the best I've ever had - perfectly crisp on the edges, and gooey in the middle. They absolutely nailed the texture. They had just the right amount of chocolate which was nice and gooey, and the salt on top made for a perfect bite. Can't wait to try their other flavors, especially the whiskey pecan and the tahini. read more

These are good cookies! They remind me of the amazing ones at Night Baker-- thick, chewy, with fillings inside. I first discovered these cookies through Too Good to Go, and two Surprise Bags were enough to feed an entire party (and to even have some cookies leftover)! These cookies also last awhile in the fridge, and they taste great both cold or warmed up in the microwave. Such a cool company that's committed to reducing food waste. Also, they're "Courage Cookies" because they donate to charities like the Black Youth Helpline, the Black Legal Action Centre, and Baitulmaal Humanitarian Aid, which gives aid to Palestinians, Syrians, Rohingyas, and more. Now you can feel good about where your cookie charges are going! read more

I was a little skeptical as I couldn't tell the flavor profile at first glance, but biting into it, I realized it was a WHITE CHOCOLATE CANDY CANE COOKIE! So festive! Though white chocolate tends to be overwhelmingly sweet for me, this was not the case. Sweetness was actually perfect, balanced by a slight saltiness and subtle peppermint notes from the candy cane. I personally would have loved a chewier cookie base, but this was soft with a slightly crunchy edge. read more

Courage Cookies - White chocolate candy cane cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

They have been my go to cookie spot for half a year. Whenever I craze some gooey chewy soft sweet cookies, I will go there, no matter the weather of time of the day. My fav is anything chocolaty - triple chocolate, oreo, chocolate chip, red velvet. Super comforting and satisfying. I have not bought any grocery store cookies ever since I discovered them. Yes their price is higher but their quality is also very high compared to grocery store ones. Also they donate to good causes regularly, in case you need something to justify the extra sweets lol read more

The owners of Courage Cookies' are people I can stand behind. They both lost their jobs at the beginning of Covid, and started their business out of their home kitchen. Their business model revolves around donating a percentage of their revenue to charities across Toronto. It's incredible to me to see people who have suffered during the pandemic by losing their jobs, and yet still giving back so much to their community to help others. In a few short months, they've donated tens of thousands of dollars to organizations like Team I Will, Black Legal Action Centre and Rethink Breast Cancer. They even give back by running holiday meal food drives. Let's continue supporting this wonderful business. BRAVO to Courage Cookies! read more

Had an appointment near Stackt Market and walked by this cute store. It was later in the day so selection was limited (aka get here earlier!) but I bought their Skor and cinnamon roll cookie (looked at the website and it is the Cinner). They are soooo good! The cookies were nice and soft but packed full of flavour, and a pretty good size for the price. They also donate a certain percentage of their profit to different local charities, so not only do you get delicious cookies you are also supporting your local community (them included!) read more

Courage cookies made an appearance at the Culinary Market at the Festival of Trees. Their chocolate cookie was my favourite cookie from that entire event! This will be a weird analogy but it was like a perfectly rare steak. It had just the perfect amount of a crust to the cookie while the inside was chewy-soft. It had that lovely cookie dough taste and just the right amount of chocolate chips. It was the Goldilocks cookie! read more

This is a review for the Dundas St. location. The only person that displayed courage at this place was me, for paying 20 bucks for 6 chocolate chip cookies. With that being said, everything downtown now is ridiculously priced because douchebags are the only people left down there. Two different old ladies almost hit me with their cars as I crossed Dundas because I'm pretty sure they think squinting is safer than just using the visor, so be careful but the cookies are worth it. 4 stars because Le Gourmand makes the best cookies. read more

Courage Cookies opened up at Stackt at some time during the summer months. I have to say, they are absolutely incredible. Not only do they sell the most delicious cookies, but they also support local charitable causes through their sales. Since opening, they've donated over $28K to various causes including Conquer Covid-19, the Black Legal Action Centre, Black Youth Helpline, etc. The staff are super friendly and their cookies are amazing. The Mini Egg, Cockco Chunk and the Red Velvet are some of my go-tos. Their flavours are on rotation so it's always a surprise when you walk by. read more
