Im a cookie person and tried their famous chocolate chip w/ walnuts and OMG it was wonderful!!

Massive cookies
Gillian A.

My cookie craving led me here. Upon arriving, my sight went straight to the massive cookies that were inside the display case; they're huge!! Lol. Was a little overwhelmed with all of the flavors at first, but ended up getting the white choco cranberry, Oreo choco chip, and peanut butter choco chip. 3 for $5; sweet deal considering how big these cookies are. For the white choco cranberry and Oreo choco chip cookies, they were very hard and were a bit messy to eat as each bite made a bunch of crumbs; they may have been in the oven for a tad too long?? The peanut butter choco chip was a real winner though; chewy at the center, crispy on the edge, peanut buttery and chocolatey goodness. Definitely get that one if you stop by here. Overall, the cookies were a hit/miss for me. The staff was friendly and the place is small and cozy though; I went on a Sunday afternoon and there were locals dining in for brunch (they serve other food items here too). Parking was easy for me as some of the stores who share the tiny parking lot were closed at the time; parking might be difficult during the weekday.

The hours posted on Yelp for Deb's Cookie Jar.  I took this photo just a few minutes ago...

We had lunch in IB today following a doctor appointment. I checked the website for Deb's Cookie Jar a few days ago and was pleased to see they would open at 1:00pm as that would be a perfect time to go after lunch. We arrived at Deb's a few minutes after 1:30 and even though the "open" sign wasn't on, I got out of the car and went to the door. Locked. As I was getting back into the car, the shop door opened and a man propped it open, yay! I went in and the man was handing something to a customer (apparently the cookie shop shares the space with a printing business). He glanced at me and I asked about cookies (the shelves were empty). He told me "she" would probably be there at 2:00. I get that some small businesses run them a bit more casually than others but it's just not cool to post hours on their door and online and then not adhere to them. This isn't the first time this has happened...one time I drove from Chula Vista specifically to go here. The others times, I was in IB for other reasons so it wasn't a big deal. If nothing else, why not show your hours as (eg) "1:00ish or 1:00or so." ? Anyway, I officially give up and the one star rating isn't for the cookies, which I've wanted to try for years, but instead is for the unprofessional way this business is run.

What's left of my giant breakfast bagel ...

I love this place. Deb always makes me feel welcome and takes the time to come out and greet me, no matter how busy she may be. This little family bakery makes the locals feel right at home, and the un-locals feel like they're locals! The cookies are HUGE. I usually get the regular chocolate chip, but today I went for the Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip, and the Blueberry White Chocolate Chip. Oh-My- Gah freakin good. Paired with the hot coffee & creamer, I'm in heaven. As usual, the cookies are fresh, and bursting with flavor- the butter... the blueberries, the dark chocolate, salted caramel ...with the slightly crisp outer cookie, then you bite into the soft middle. Just the right mixture of taste and textures to keep you coming back for more! Yes, I ate both kinds at the same time. I couldn't restrain myself. I originally came for a breakfast bagel this morning. I had the scrambled eggs, bacon, and pepper jack. Very good, and good size portions! Stop in here for your next sugar fix, or breakfast, you will not be disappointed.

Deb is quite possibly the nicest person I've met since moving here to California. I found her shop by accident while driving by one day on the way home. It's in an out of the way place. It's a small unassuming shop. The cookies are absolutely delicious and if you go in and you're wondering which one to try make sure that no matter what you try the one called the dark side. It's absolutely delicious and chocolatey without being too sweet. But even better than the cookies are her cupcakes. I haven't had cake this good in years. It doesn't have that heavy texture that a lot of homemade cakes have and her buttercream is light and I could literally just eat a bowl full of it. She's pretty much the best thing about Imperial Beach so far.

Butterscotch, black and white, and ... Who cares, they're all good!! (Plus I forgot because I ate them so fast)
Gary C.

Thank goodness for yelp! I came down to Imperial Beach to visit my parents in their new home and we were looking for food and the search results came up with this place and the high rating and the word "cookie" easily got me interested in checking it out. I was originally looking for a sushi or taco place but wanted to grab cookies before the place closed. After getting a glimpse and a whiff of the cookies and the rest of the menu I wound up staying. I saw the Deb's Massive Monte Cristo and thought "challenge accepted"! Ham, sausage, bacon, eggs, cream cheese, jelly, then more cheese inside two pieces of French toast :: drools :: amazing! I wound up splitting it to make room for the cookies which were also very fresh and delicious they sent well with the iced coffee. Service was fast and friendly and I could tell there were several people that were regulars there. I'll definitely be going back to try some other menu items and cookies!

Oreo cookie, almond chocolate chip with coconut, and chocolate chip
Anna Marie Y.

Such a cute store with a very friendly environment! MUST TRY the almond chocolate chip coconut cookie (which got featured in San Diego's magazine in November 2018) and the white chocolate cranberry!! I'm not a big fan of coconut and cranberry but the cookies was amazing! I also tried the white chocolate butterfinger cookie which is also interesting to try. They gave my friend and I free samples which was nice! We got a dozen and the good sir that helped us gave us two free cookies (: I really admire this business and excited to come back to try the different flavors of cookies.

Chocolate chip, PB m&m, Oreo, snickerdoodle

I have not been in a while , nor to the new location yet, Do they offer any Keto friendly baked goods?

I hope you come in soon to check out the new location. If you would like some Keto friendly goodies, you can pick a recipe for Deb to make or you can give her an idea of what you want. This is considered a special order so it isn't in the shop… Read more

Are they closed down?

Theyre reopening in september just across the street! You can still get cookies by the dozen! The info is on the window of the old store!

I tried going yesterday and it said closed on a paper sign. When will it open again?

It is closed Monday and Tuesday

This was the absolute best brunch I've ever had. We collectively got the gluten-free French toast,…read morea breakfast bowl, and their house-made gluten-free bagel, and it was divine. We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

Never…read morehad issues with employees until they hired this Mexican older woman. ** FOR UPPER MANAGEMENT/SUPERVISOR: I don't know her name (she never has a name tag) but here is the receipt information: T#02 0P06 TRN6719 12/25/2022 6:18PM - she's the old lady wearing a Christmas hat. This lady is very lazy, very unprofessional, rude and has zero customer service. The first time I had an issue with her, I asked her where an item was and she just told me if I can't find it in the front they don't have it. (She was on her phone, did not even acknowledged me, did not even make me feel welcome). I did not say anything, just left and carried on with my day. This second time is the reason why I'm posting my review. My father and I went to store to get some snacks and upon paying I noticed one of the chips bag was open, so I told the woman I was going to exchange it because the bag was open. But the woman yelled back in-front of all the customers that we had opened the bag of chips and ate some. My dad was pretty embarrassed telling the lady if she was serious. So I came back with the chips and my father and I decided to get a pizza so we asked the lady if we could get one pepperoni pizza and the lady started hesitating and told us in a low voice, that there was some customers that had paid some pizzas (4 pizzas were on top of the front pizza heater) but never came back, that if we wanted those for the price of one. I just told her to get me fresh one and make it extra crispy. The lady made a face followed with a "uuuysh" went back and grabbed my pizza from the placed it in the oven. Then she started telling us why couldn't we just buy those pizzas that were already there, that she knew the other customers weren't coming back. When the pizza came out we asked her if she could put in an extra 10 seconds and she said she could t because she does t know if the pizza will burn. (I have always done this at this location and other various locations where they make it extra crunchy/crispy). So we tried telling her other employees had done this in the past but she was just ignoring us and threw my pizza to me (box wasn't even closed properly. The lady started talking loud talking non sense to the point I just my dad we had to leave because it was very embarrassing having all these people around and having this lady talk to use some way. DONT HIRE PEOPLE THAT DONT WANT TO WORK, YOULL HAVE THE SAME OUTCOME HAVING AN EMPLOYEE LIKE THIS AND HAVING YOUR STORE CLOSED. This store has lost a long time customer (ever since day 1), it might not mean much to who ever is reading this but trust me my blood boiled when the Mexican old woman started disrespecting us in-front of people- I understand it's Christmas but if you dislike what you do, stay home and find yourself another job.

Absolutely phenomenal cake, perfectly sweet but not too sweet, incredible texture and incredibly moist but not too wet like some tres leche cakes can be.

My Dad loved it, thanks for the amazing cake and for being so helpful helping me pick which would be best. All around great experience and I can't wait to try other ones. They have tons of different flavors and if looking for something specific, i was told it's best to order ahead either online or over the phone.

They have a big variety of cakes all ready to go in their cake display. I chose the chocobombon since they didn't have any all vanilla cakes and this one had some vanilla in it and my husbands favorite is vanilla. I really liked that they had candles and cake decorations as well in the store and I bought a few Birthday embellishments which were all $1 each, great price! The staff was nice but not too friendly when I was trying to find out more about the cakes and flavors, I had to read the labels since she didn't provide me any details. The cake was just okay, it was very dense and a bit dry. The marshmallow frosting was a little thick and the overall flavors were definitely different but not sure I would get this flavor again. I would like to try a few more flavors and maybe a tres leches cake to see how those are. It is located in Chula Vista in a small shopping center, limited parking available.
