Yummy cookies here! Cute little shop in the area and staff were so friendly. We grabbed the chocolate chip, butter pecan, brownie swirl, and wunderbar cookies. Overall they were soft and tasty, not super moist on the inside but not a dry cookie at all. Nothing super spectacular but definitely worth getting if you're looking for something sweet. Only negative is one of the cookies had a small hair baked into it :( I could lift the cookie up by just the hair.
Dont get me wrong, its a GOOD cookie. But if you're looking for a special chocolate chip cookie or creative cookie this just may disappoint you. They just add different toppings to the same dough so it's not really much different regardless of the cookie you get. The nutella was good but again nutella added to anything makes it better. Overall may come back for a late treat but wouldn't go out of my way or crave it
Really good cookie spot! I was impressed by the variety of options here. I got the toffee cookie and it was delicious! This place was great for a spontaneous sweet treat because they are open late, whereas there are so many bakeries that close in the afternoon. Highly recommend!
Cute bake shop and staff was super friendly. Chocolate Chip was soft and tasty . The Oreo & Chocolate Chip was delicious!!!! That was my favorite! Def going back when in town.
Been here twice because of the hype around this brand. Overall, I am not a fan. They taste like any ordinary homemade cookie, but 3x the cost for the tiny size. I would say that these are about as small as people would make chocolate chip cookies. The consensus among my friends and I are that they are also a bit too sweet for our preferences. Also, it seems like they just add different toppings to the basic cookie dough rather than adding new flavours in the dough.
Chocolate chip cookie: 2.5/5. Buttery, greasy cookie. Was pretty dry, and an unremarkable cookie. S'more Cookie: 3.5/5. Cookie was filled with gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate. Too sweet for my liking. Overall would pass, Le Gourmand had a better cookie.
Shop just opened up across from mt work, so I decided to give their cookies a go. I was a bit surprised by the little variety that was offered, and more appalled by the charge of $7 for 2 measly cookies. At this price point, I was expecting to have a euphoric experience, that of the Cookie Monster. Unfortunately as I bit into the toffee cookie, all that could be tasted was a whole lot of salt. I am not sure if someone accidentally grabbed it instead of the sugar that day, but the result was in half of the cookie that could not be ingested by any means, being broken and fed to the pigeons of Parkdale. The same occurrence was with the Macadamia white chocolate cookie. I have never in my life came across a more absurd tasting baked good. It was saltier than my tears after a swim in a salt lake. Truly bizarre, and very disappointing after seeing so much attention Craig's Cookies have received. In conclusion, I paid $7.00 for 2 piles of salt disguised as scrumptious cookies.
These cookies definitely live up to the hype! Although they must be made with a ton of butter, Craig's cookies just do the chocolate chip cookie justice. I ordered the surprise mix dozen and they do not skimp on the chocolate!! They are soft, buttery, chewy and one of the best chocolate chip cookies you can get in the city! My favourite one so far has been the Skor, the little caramel bits just melt into chewy crunchy perfection.
Tried the pumpkin-pie cookie and the butter-tart cookie - all cookies consist of a chocolate-chip cookie with some other element placed in the center. The chocolate-chip base is amazingly soft and gooey, while the pumpkin pie made for an excellent combination. (By contrast, I found the butter tart a bit intense all around, although I suppose butter tarts generally are.) They have a *very* wide selection of cookies! As someone who looks for novelty more than familiarity in food, going back to try them all is a very appealing prospect!
Not a cookie bake good kind of guy, but had some friends past by to hang for a minute which ended up being a few hours. Friend suggested to grab some baked goods, it was a toss up between Krispy kreme and Craig's cookies. To be honest, I've never had these cookies before and took a gander at how the cookies would look and taste without even viewing any pictures. I trusted my friends with their strong opinions, so we order and had 2x half dozen delivered. Definitely wasn't on the budget cheap side, but for a first time delicate baked good it turned out really tasty. It came in an assorted half dozen a box. Great for parties, office luncheons, family gatherings or even simply just to snack on some goods. Will have to venture to the locations to pick out the flavours for next time instead of having randomly picked out and delivered.
I was first introduced to Craig's Cookies at a fundraiser back in the fall. There were many flavors, but I could only try two - Original Chocolate Chip & Mars Bar- because I was stuffed at the end of the night. This shop is quite far from where I live so I had to drop in when I was in the area. For Father's Day, I picked up half a dozen cookies - Original, Tim Tam, Bounty, Mars Bar, Ferrero Rocher, Wunderbar. Unique flavors, there's something for every palette. My father likes coconut so he enjoyed the Bounty cookie. The cookies here are large and filled generously. Thankfully I don't live close to this shop as I would probably end up here on a daily basis. Craig also has popup shops at Nordstrom. Again, thankfully they're sold out each time I'm in the department store. Good for: cookies
So very good! B found this spot on Yelp and I'm so glad we checked it out. Street parking is available. The cashier was friendly and helpful. It smells so good in here. Freshly baked cookies are the best. Craig's Cookies does an amazing job with their unique creations. They have a variety of chocolate chip cookies, all of which were delicious. They are warm, gooey in the middle, and incredibly flavorful. These puppies are dangerously good. Perfect for sharing. The cookie shop is super cute and cozy. This isn't a place where you can sit and enjoy your cookies, it's more of a to go spot. So get your goodies to go and enjoy these excellent cookies!
I tried a dozen cookies with the following flavours: Glosette peanut Twix Skor Reeses Rice crispy Classic The cookies are all great and the rice crispy was especially good!! They do run out of certain flavours, so you can only get what's available and you should also expect some lines. The cookies (especially when slightly warmed) live up to the hype and are delicious. They are definitely on the pricey side, but a worthwhile cost for the experience!

As a person who enjoys cookies, I am very pleased with Craig's Cookies. The most pleasing thing about these cookies is not the pillowy decadence with crisp edges, but the fact that there actually is a Craig behind Craig's Cookies. I was deeply disturbed to learn that Betty Crocker never actually existed and there is no doctor behind Dr. Pepper. Do not get me started on Aunt Jemima. The concept of an idealized brand personality is powerful in marketing, but Craig doesn't take advantage of that - he exists. Upon learning of his existence and also one time having him serve the cookies himself to me in the Parkdale location, my day had already been sweetened. People complain that they're too salty, but it's a delicate balance to me. The ratio is to the cookie as the salt is to the single tear of joy I cried the first time I bit into this cookie. The box in which the cookies come in is a soft pink that rivals the ooey gooey softness of the freshly-baked centres. These cookies are moist, chewy and the perfect recipe that feels like it's passed down by generations, but with a gay twist. It's the decadence you would imagine in a fucking candy bar, stuffed into a ball of cookie dough, and baked until it's perfect. I rate Craig's Cookies an 11/10 for cookies. The extra 1 accounts for inflation. read more
Stumbled upon this place around 8:30 pm while walking down the street. The smell of cookies brought us in and I'm so glad it did. They have many varieties/ flavours of cookies at display. They also were baking some fresh. Each cookie was just under $4 which is a steal in this day and age. I got a chocolate and truffle one, my friend got a peanut butter one. Both were absolutely delicious. The only recommendation is to keep all their cookies in the back so they stay warm and only have one or two cookies at display. That way customer gets a warm cookie. This is how other popular cookie brands like Levain does it. My cookie was a little hard from the cold, though still absolutely delicious. read more

Me had to stop here since me dad's name is Craig and he loves cookies who gave me my Cookie Monster obsession. Me got six to share with my me and our friend nearby at the AirBnB and frozen cookie dough to bring back to make me dad. Unfortunately the cookie dough was the only thing we left behind after staying in 7 rooms in 6 hotels in five cities in 19 nights. Oh well, me guess Cookie Monster ate the frozen cookie dough before he could cook it or even let it thaw. Me love that they are pride friendly and the staff is wonderful as are the cookies. It's a pick up joint but one of many cute shops in the wonderful Parkdale neighborhood. Me Cookie Monster strongly recommend but me didn't eat frozen cookie dough, me and me wife left it in freezer section of Embassy Suites fridge in Niagara Falls. read more

Finally got the chance to try this spot and it definitely lives up to its reputation. It's a small place with a variety of cookie flavours. And when I say a variety I mean A LOT. From toblerone, to rice krispies, Christmas themed, cinnamon roll... You name it, they probably done it before. If your a fan of stuffed cookies this with a try. read more

They got many cool flavours but I always find myself getting the classic chocolate chip, tried the brown, kitkat, and Nutella ones. Small place at their queen location, but they do pop up at Eatons Nordstrom! Overall love their cookies but sometimes I find that there is a little too much salt. read more

Have to give this place massive props for its Pride forward colour palette. Of course, throw in a sandwich board that says 'gayest cookies' - hard to beat. Oh, sure. Do you turn a bit fruiter after a couple cookies? Can't say I noticed but I did find myself having a fabulous experience eating them. It's 2 for $5. I tried the snickers and the classic (chocolate chip). Have to say it was incredible. Fresh, soft and tasted as if they just made them. One of, if not the best I can recall having in Toronto. Their flavours are intriguing. Names like butter tart or pop tart ? I mean, fascinating. I thought if they could get the basics down those must be good. Small space. It's definitely not a place to sit down and chill. I think if they ever think of a second location, keep it all the same and add cafe seating. It's got a great vibe read more

I cannot stop thinking about these cookies!! I was hosting a conference in Toronto and we decided to get a parting treat for our attendees. I decided to quickly ubereats a dessert. I called Craig's to make sure they had 12 dozen cookies available right away and they did! A lot of other shops didn't have such a large quantity readily available. I ordered the "surprise bag" thinking I'd get some choc chip, oatmeal raisin, white choc, etc,. BOY WAS I SURPRISED with the surprise bags!! There were choc chip, m&ms, cookies with an entire Oreo, Reese's pieces, cinnamon, orange chocolate sliced. Ferro rochers inside, mint patties, peanut butter cups, brownies, peppermints, and more! They tasted delicious too!!! I didn't even see their raving yelp reviews until after! Our conference attendees loved them. I may or may not have had 6 of the leftovers the last couple days.. The one drawback is that they don't have gluten free cookies. I would get these cookies for every occasion if I lived in Toronto and could! read more
Alright, just finished devouring a classic chocolate chip cookie. I'm ready to write my review. While they're no Le Gourmand (sorry!), they still do a damn good chocolate chip cookie! My gf lives down the street from them and I asked her to pick some cookies up for me. She gave them to me today. These cookies are now considered day-old but they are still fresh tasting and ooey gooey! I microwaved it for a quick 11 seconds. The center was so soft and the chocolate chips were defs melted. All criteria of a good cookie. They are pretty sweet, but it's a chocolate chip cookie, so what do you expect? I really wanted to try the baklava cookie but they were sold out by the time my friend went. Oh well, next time! Yes, there will be a next time. read more
A little pricey for the size you get but they do come in a multitude of awesome flavors. Service here is on point and I brought my own container one time and they were more than happy to oblige with my request of using it (to save). My siblings enjoy their cookies and I do try to make the trip there when we are all craving some salty cookies! read more

Very good stuffed cookies. Delicious flavours, soft and chewy. I bought a dozen for $30 (which is expensive for cookies) but for specialty ones? Why not! Many well known flavoured ones like cookies and cream, macadamia nut and classic. They also had very unique ones like pop tart, rice krispy and fuzzy peach! I think the fuzzy peach one isn't everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed it very much. It was chocolate chip with whole fuzzy peach candy pieces in it and definitely worth a try. My other favourite flavours were toblerone and butterscotch chips. They also mentioned to my friend that they have more than 50 flavours they rotate everyday.. that is crazy! If you are ever in the area, buy a box to try. Definitely will come back for more and try the other flavours they have! Great little shop and friendly staff. read more

A very busy spot! Tiny and colourful you won't miss it. Great addition to the Parkdale area. The cookie itself is delicious, I got the rainbow chocolate chip one. A bit on the sweeter side but oh so fresh. Check them out if your in the area, they are also on Church street as well! read more
Some of the best cookies I have had! They have a large variety of cookies, and thus will please anyone. I particularly liked the toblerone cookie. You could see physical pieces of toblerone and could also taste hints of salt on the top of the cookie which made it even more delicious. The cookies are a little small for what you pay for. However, they are pretty sweet and indulgent, that you probably wouldn't want to eat more than one-two. I'm glad there are multiple locations, because I will definitely be back to try some of the other flavours they have. read more

Pretty good cookies. They're a bit saltier and not as gooey as I'd like, but they're fine. The thing I really loved was their ice cream + cookie combo for just $6. They were super generous with their scoop (seemed like it was almost 2-3 scoops), and the sweetness of Greg's ice cream was a good counterbalance to the slight saltiness of Craig's cookies. I'd come back for that combo. read more

Got a box of the mini egg cookies and they were so good! They're soft, chewy and are STUFFED with mini eggs (they definitely don't skimp with their toppings). Just look at how thick the cookies are in the pic The perfect treat especially with Easter coming up! For more food pics/reviews check out @dinewithmangs on Instagram! read more
Not sure where I should begin this review. But how about the fact that I am actually terrified from what Craig from Craig's cookies will be be replying to this post. As he does not take criticism very well. First off, I would like to say that before reading some of his reply to the negative comments.. I was originally going to give it 2 star but he's responses are utterly off putting. Which shows much about his character. Had I read his replies to the negative comments I would've never supported this business! After having the cookies, I decided to see what some others felt about these cookies that I see all over instagram. Upon my search in both yelp and google I was shockingly surprised by the high rating. By no means are the cookies bad. But definitely not a 4.5+ star rating cookies. I would say for most, it would be an O-K 3 star cookie. Personally, I thought the cookie was overly salty for my taste, also like many has mentioned, although the cookies may seem amazing with all wide variety of flavours... after a few bites you'll soon realize the cookie dough are all made EXACTLY THE SAME, with the exception of the flavours in the middle. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH $3.50 each! They happened to be at the Nordstrom at Yorkdale last Saturday. So we decided to get 7 cookies because they had 7 different flavours displayed, which came to $21. For this price, I am expecting GOOD COOKIES!! No doubt did they look amazing and with all the different flavours, I was so excited to finally try them! They packed my cookies in a square cardboard box and bagged it. I though the packaging was simply and cute with the stamped on logo. The lady who helped me was friendly however she was wearing the E bar apron so I can't confirm if she's a employee of Nordstrom or Craig's cookies. But the apron leads me to believe she's not, as I also paid at the Nordstrom customer service counter. Regardless of Craig's behaviour in replying to customers comments, I would never repurchase these cookies. Nor will I recommend this business to anyone. P.S Hi Craig, would you like to report me to your yelp friend to remove my elite status as well? read more

We got a variety of cookies from Craig's and I'd say there're good but not fantastic (when compared to places like Le Gourmand). They are thick cookies with a mildly gooey center. I purchased a few different types e.g. kit kat, mars, cinnamon bun, classic, mini egg - all of the cookies are the same base with different toppings. Not much taste variation when you think about it - everything is just chocolate candy bars in a cookie base, so you don't have to worry about choosing between them as they'll most likely taste the same. There were only 2 classic chocolate chip cookies left when we got there and when we asked for more they said it would be a 30 minute wait. In my opinion, they should have back ups of popular flavours like classic! I'd visit again for sure, but not a 5 star. read more
My roommate and I had stumbled across a video for this place on Facebook prior to our visit to Toronto and made sure to put it on our list of places to visit. It was a hike to get out to this neighborhood seeing as we were staying in downtown Toronto, but it was a simple tram ride and well worth the travel time. Craig was actually there when we popped in, and was extremely friendly and welcoming to us American tourists. We chatted for a bit and he told us that the beautiful cookies we were about to ingest were made that afternoon, about 4 hours prior, so super fresh and moist. We took our cookies to the park across the bridge to enjoy and man oh man were we not disappointed. All of the fun additives in the cookies are INSIDE the cookie, not broken up and distributed in the batter, which I thought was genius. We should take a page from Craig's book of creativity, because I never in a million years would've though that a pop-tart encased in cookie dough would be on the list of things I would have to eat at my last meal if ever on death row. THAT. GOOD. Seriously this place is legit and worth the trip from downtown. Don't be a weirdo and just get one, be the fatty you know you are and get a whole dozen of mix and match cookies for your enjoyment. You won't regret it. read more

This place has been on my list to try for years. Some of my friends religiously eat these cookies. We ordered a 6 pack surprise box from Uber eats and microwaved them for 30 seconds to have that fresh cookie experience. 1) the reeeses pieces cookies was a 10/10 2) the nibs and chocolate chip cookie was strange to me because of the texture of the soft chop okay chips vs mins chewy candy 5/10 3) the coconut and chocolate chip one reminded me of an almond joy candy bar 8/10 4) there was one with a marshmallow centre and chocolate chip which was yummy as well 7/10 5) another one tasted like two bite brownies and chocolate chips 10/10 6) I also had one oozing with caramel 10/10 Overall, I loved the cookies and trying all of the unique flavours. If I were to have them again, I would gravitate towards more of a classic chocolate chip, or the Reese pieces one. Also, their packaging for delivery was very pretty 10/10. read more

My friends and I heard so much hype about Craig's cookies and were so excited to try these out. We got a variety of flavours in their adorable pink box. The cookies are chonky af and their texture is a mix of chewy and crunchy (I found them to be little more crunchy than I'd like. It gets a more chewy texture depending on the flavour of the mix-in. Like the Mars bar flavour had a good chew because of the caramel in the chocolate and the brownie bits cookie was also chewier because of the brownie. I actually also found that the cookies I bought were a little too salty for my taste . My friends didn't seem to mind or even notice this so I think it just depends on your taste. I'd say Craig's cookies are better than your average cookie, but I've eaten better cookies. read more

You have not lived until you've tried this extravagant and DECADENT cookie. I just kept wanting more! These cookies are moist, chewy and the PERFECT recipe for chocolate chip cookies.These THICC cookies are packed goodness from Oreos, Mars, Snickers, Ferrero Rocher, Kinder and many more. I'm definitely coming back to try the Mini Eggs Cookie. I recommend consuming it within 2 days because it loses the chewy texture. I was worried it would be too sweet, but it was the perfect balance between sweet and rich. read more
