Small & cozy cookie/sweet treat shop that also includes a wide selection of flavored sodas (aka "dirty sodas"). Check back often for their seasonal cookies! THE FOOD. - Brookie. A warm brownie cookie with a caramel filling. The interior is SOFT and the whole thing just melts in your mouth. This is a very rich cookie, so share it or eat in moderation! THE PARKING. Parking is not easily available. If you're lucky, you can park on the street right next to the shop. If you can't find parking there, you'll have to look further out. THE VERDICT. A worthy stop for dessert cravings (if you don't mind looking for parking). read more

I came here on a weekday just after opening. The fellow working here was really nice and was helpful in explaining various offerings and giving recommendations. They have cookies with fillings! And also some shakes and "dirty drinks" (flavored sodas). They have classic cookie options on the menu all the time and several cookie types that rotate weekly. I purchased two cookies and a drink. They have a couple tables inside but I decided to take the cookies home and enjoy the drink on the road. The two cookies I chose were the chocolate chip and the cookies & cream plus the Coco-Loco as my drink. The Coco-Loco is best described as a coconut Coke. It was fantastic, way better than I expected. I appreciated the finely ground ice in the bottom portion of the cup. My pet peeve is when places fill the cup to the top with ice and your drink is gone in three sips but here they provide just enough to keep it cold and refreshing. The cookies are presented in their own box and are large. They are soft cookies but ever-so-slightly crisp on the outside with soft fillings. The chocolate chip cookie had a filling that was essentially chocolate chip cookie dough. It was incredibly delicious and I would definitely get this one again. The cookies & cream had what tasted like Oreo frosting inside and was very good. It was a bit messier as it has crumbles on top and also the weight of the filling caused the soft cookie to fall apart, which one must be conscious of when eating these cookies. It's actually easier to eat when it's in a few pieces. Being a cookie-lover, I find what they have here to be better than what you get at other well-known cookie stores. read more

Cute dessert spot within walking distance to Dana Points downtown area. I was at first confused by the menu because it was very slowly changing, but the worker was super friendly and explained which was a new item and which were permanent flavors. They had a fun and festive Mardi Gras cookie which was filled with frosting. It was pretty sweet but very fresh. I'm interested in trying one of their dirty sodas. They had plenty of drink and milkshake options as well. read more

Dirty Dough - Literally THE BEST coffee cake ! My family fought over It hahahaha ! Going back tomorrow. - Desserts Near Me - Dana Point, California

We were craving a sweet treat after having a delicious meal at Truly and saw this little spot. While it doesn't have too many reviews overall, but high rating, we decided to stop by. Unfortunately, we were met with many of their cookies sold out. The GF ended up getting the regular chocolate chip cookie and I opted for their Double Trouble shake as it sounded good. The chocolate chip cookie was nothing special. It was "doughy," hence the store name, but definitely not to our liking. I mean it wasn't bad, it was a chocolate chip cookie nonetheless, but not worth getting again. I'm not sure what the hype is about the cookie being doughy. It's literally just a semi baked cookie, which honestly isn't that pleasant. The Double Trouble was just not good at all and I don't think it was even made properly. It was straight up just a cookie, some ice, and milk blended. There was no ice cream at all. It was straight liquid drink. The place is cute, and quaint, but that's all it has going for it. Sorry, but I don't recommend this place at all. read more

A decent place for dessert or a sweet bite. Nothing spectacular, but it wasn't awful either. We tried ice creams for the kids and got the cookie and Oreo shakes. The cookie shake was probably the best thing there. For the price you pay probably would expect a little bit better so nothing to write home about, but the person working at the front was nice and friendly - it was just decent. read more

Cookies are ok. Nothing I can't try elsewhere. $21.47 for 4 is really steep. The best one was the strawberry shortcake cookie with jam inside but not worth the price. read more

Mixed reviews in my house on this place. I really liked the dirty sodas. We got the peachy-keen and the coco loco. I thought they were both good, but my wife didn't really like the coco loco. We also got the "reverse" cookie, chocolate inside of peanut butter, which I thought was ok, but my wife didn't really like. Overall I'm giving it a 4 because I thought it was ok. read more

Finally tried Dana Point's not so dirty little secret Dirty Dough, for the Peanut Butter Indulgence cookie, appropriately named, as it was indulgent, a plus for butter and chocolate lovers like me! I also finally succumbed to my curiosity about a "Dirty Soda" and tried the Coco Loco (which happens to be one of my daughter Chloe's nicknames ). I must admit the concept had me dubious and a bit reluctant, but it was good and not sickeningly sweet as expected, though I would still rather spend my calories trying a "Dirty Shake" next time! The storefront is really cute, very clean and the staff is very welcoming. read more

Someone's review said the cookie inside was too dough-y and raw, which enticed me to come here LOL. love a good dough/raw internal. when you order they pull the cookie out of the racks, then put the cream or any toppings on top, so you get the "freshest" cookie possible which I love!! I will say the inside w the extra sugar and then topped w the cream is good but IS super heavy- it's delicious but not something i'd repeatedly eat which I can do with ice cream or other less 150% sugar items. either way, was delicious! read more

Was excited to try this place the stuffed chocolate chip cookie was ok . Not too sweet and I liked the crispy edges. The all sweet no savory peanut butter cookie was also ok. Nothing special but I liked the peanut butter very creamy . I used some of the peanut butter on my chocolate chip cookie. I have experienced it and don't need to return. The worker was unsure of what was on the waffle bites we were interested in so that was disappointing. read more

Dirty Dough - The OC "Original Cookie" Shake - Desserts Near Me - Dana Point, California

I got to try a few of these at an event, and they were all very tasty. The only issue is they were 99% raw dough in the middle. I'm all for cookie dough, but only if I feel like eating raw cookie dough. Otherwise cookies are huge and the flavors are fun. I took the red velvet home and re-cooked it, and it was very tasty. Very sweet cookies. Idk if I'd come back because the quality and I don't want to reheat cookies, but maybe it was just an off experience due to the fact they had to make a bunch for the event. read more

If you've been watching the Mormon Wives on Hulu, you'll know what a dirty soda is. Dirty Dough is so far the only spot I know in south OC that makes dirty sodas, and I love it! It's such a creative idea that makes for a great treat once in a while. I got the Caribbean crush which is a pina colada-like soda, and it was soooo good! It was tart and sweet. I also got one of their chunky cookies, I wanna say it was one of their fruity cheesecake ones. It was actually so massive, and it felt like I was eating a cheesecake cookie. The shop itself is a a nice size. They have a large table on the side where you can eat your treats at, or some outdoor tables to hang at. You can find parking on the street or parking in the structure. The worker that helped us was super friendly, and we probably only waited like 5-10 minutes for our items. read more

These are amazing cookies. We got a four pack: chocolate chip (100/10) - not too sweet and the perfect combo of crispy on the outside and ooey gooey on the inside; the brookie (10/10) - chocolate and caramel decadence; rocky road 10/10) - if ice cream was a cookie, this is the one; and the inside out (10/10) - chocolate and so much peanut butter. You need to eat them hot and right out of the oven. These are perfect. They also have a selection of fun dirty sodas. No question - we will be back. read more

I only tried a dirty Dr. Pepper. It was good but it was 7.50 for a large drink with some syrup. I doubt if I would return at those prices

Decided to drive down after dinner tonight and give Dirty Dough a try. So glad we did! First off may I just say how impressed we were with the young staff members working tonight - we'd come back just for them!! So friendly and so helpful with placing our order. Cute little shop in the newly renovated center of Dana Point - great location, surrounded by lots of trendy restaurants and just a few minutes drive from the beach. I loved how bright and clean it was! The shake was a hit with my son who is training for an Ironman - after burning 4100 calories today, the shake helped top him off. My daughter loved the dirty bowl and I was glad to share a cookie with my husband. It was delicious but too calorie laden for me to want a whole cookie to myself. I think Dirty Dough is a great new addition to Dana Point - welcome to the neighborhood!! read more

The cookies are truly incredible. Each one is freshly baked, with a gooey texture that makes them melt beautifully in your mouth. You can taste the quality of the ingredients used. The service at the shop was outstanding; the staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience enjoyable. We ordered four boxes of cookies, which were reasonably priced at $17.50--an excellent value for such delicious treats. I have to say, these cookies are significantly better than those from Crumbl Cookies. Each bite is a delightful experience! read more

Went here on a Saturday around 6pm on 4/27/2025 and I couldn't figure out the cookies. First, the choc chip cookie had a nice crisp outer layer but had raw cookie dough in the middle for most of the cookie. I got a stomach ache from this and had gooey fingers. Quite messy and very sweet. Not my cup of tea. I would have preferred a thick, cooked cookie. We got the 4some pack and the others were similar. Good flavor just very hard to eat . The kids, wife and I didn't finish any of the cookies. You'll need a fork/spoon to eat this without dropping it all over yourself. I also suggest some type of cookie and ice cream combo which I would have ordered. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. Very good. I got two items: 1. Cookies and cream cookie. It was filled with a creamy gooey filling. It reminded me a little bit of a pazookie from BJs (without the ice cream of course). 2. My husband got the wedding cake cookie. It was a sugar cookie with a fruit jelly topping and same creamy gooey filling as my cookie. The cookie was very good but I think the cookies and cream was better! I don't live close to this place but would willing to drive back just to have these cookies again!! read more

Dirty Dough is a vibe. We walked in and were immediately welcomed by two very friendly guys. They were super helpful and knowledgeable when we asked about the menu. It was our first time, so we had a few questions. We tried two Dirty Sodas: the Caribbean Crush and the Butter Beer. Both were unique. The Caribbean Crush was light, refreshing, and a hit with the whole family. The Butter Beer wasn't quite Dad's usual flavor, but he still really enjoyed it. Great experience all around. We'll definitely be back. read more

Mmmmm. Yum. Very tasty, big thicc yummy warm cookies. Rolled in around 9:55 PM on a Friday night after dinner and good times in the Latern District. Didn't want desert at the restaurant and it wasn't ice cream weather. Being a cooler night the Fall breeze wafted the warm scent sent of fresh baked cookies. I was magically transported to a far away land with kind faces. Time seemed to slow like the dough of rising cookies. Hints of cinnamon, chocolate and carmel warmed my gooey center. 6 of us ordered cookies and 8 thought the were great. I'm no mathmagician but the numbers add up. I think a buy 4 cookies get one free is a great promotion to the owner reading this now..who is hopefully now stoked they have a 5 star review as good as this one. If this review isn't posted somewhere in the shop I will be shocked. I will say that even the next day as I write this with my cup of coffee the anticipation is real. Leftover AM reheat--try it. Yum. Also, if someone writes a bad review about this place then they should take a long look in the mirror and ask themselves... why I am writing a bad review about a place that bakes warm fresh gooey cookies? Is that where you want to be in life, bringing down someone that makes cookies? Your Grandma is shaking her head right now. So go ahead, order an extra for your elderly neighbor, stuff that tip jar and go shine your light. Your amazing--the cookies are delicious too! Your in Dana Point debating whether or not to get a cookie. It's a cookie. Do it. Your living the dream! read more

New spot in DP so wasn't sure what to expect! The staff is very friendly and the place is perfect for a sweet treat! The cookies are really big, so it's nice to split into 2. The cost is not too high either - a little over $5! I assume the name "dough" is why the cookie was really underbaked, which isn't my personal preference. So do with that what you may! read more

Tried the blueberry cobbler cinnamon roll and it was delicious. I thought the dirty sodas were just OK. Perhaps some cold foam or something could've made mine a little better? Parking is a little hard to find as it seemed to be street parking only. The service was good, the two young men working there were nice. I went later in the day so they were out of a lot of things, but I enjoyed the cinnamon roll. read more

Finally tried dirty dough and it was definitely dough-y! Service is friendly and the cookies are cheaper than Crumbl. The best flavors were butternut crunch and cookies n crème. My least favorite was fruity crisp, I would skip on it entirely and it wasn't sweet in a good way. Surprisingly the chocolate chip was just ok to me. The reverse is better than the buckeye I think. I don't think I would come back but you should try it at least once. read more
