    Chocolate Chip and Toffee Macchiato
    Shay R.

    God, I love this place! I'm into cookies that are crunchy on the outside and gooey/chewy on the inside, and Dirty Dough nails it every time. I'm so glad I found this spot because I'm not a fan of Crumbl. So far, I've tried the chocolate chip cookie, the toffee macchiato cookie, and the cornbread bar, and it took everything in me not to eat them all in one sitting. The staff are super friendly, and I love how easy it is to order through their app. If you're a cookie lover who likes that perfect balance of crisp and soft, this place is HEAVENN!!!

    This was the worst overpriced chocolate chip cookie I have ever had. If you like eating dough then you may enjoy it but I definitely didn't. I even brought it home and tried to air fry it! Other than the doughy taste it also lacks depth in flavor. I was expecting richness and was left disappointed by the lack of it.

    Mmmmm... stumbled upon this place on Yelp looking for something sweet and boy I am glad we did. My family and I got the Dirty four and picked our own cookies. We liked the cookies so much, we went back again within 2 weeks. It's an added bonus when the employees are warm and welcoming! Thanks for being great Dirty Dough, my family and I will see you soon!!

    Cookie rating for Dirty Dough: Mid. Very white sugar crunch finish taste. Very doughy soft. Not a fan of the name Dirty Dough, I don't get it even after reading the "why" behind it. Very small store front with minimal indoor seating and no outdoor seating. Cute overall. I appreciate the cookie competition against the other shops. Of the cookies I tried I liked the chocolate chip the best. The fillings chosen for the other ones made no sense together. I wish the cookie butter cookie was filled with cookie butter and not some extra sweet white frosting. Dirty Dough also sells ice cream shakes and sodas and coffee drinks so it's more than just cookie place but obviously that's the main part. The worst thing for me was only having one chick working. Felt unsafe. Made service slow.

    Yummy cookies and Brookies. Didn't try the waffles but would like to go back to try them. Stuffed cookies were something different. Super sweet and shareable. Service was good. The place was clean and nice displays of what they had available.

    If you're a sweets connoisseur like me, you'll love this place. Locations are limited (sadly) but your options are not. Each item I got was SO insanely good that I wish I got more! I went recently for my very first time, around 6:30pm on a Wednesday and the kindness of the female team member was beyond amazing. I had endless questions and my indecisiveness was probably a lot, but she treated me with compassion all throughout. I need to go back already!

    These ooey gooey cookies are SO GOOD! They have about 5 classic cookies which are always offered, and special weekly cookies which change every week. The stuffed cookie concept is real! The chocolate chip is a staple, so good - but warm it up and it gets even better!!! We also tried the strawberry shortcake, PB s'more and the reverse. We tasted more PB than we did in the s'more cookie, so it didn't entirely hit the spot, but the others did. The person who took my order answered all my questions and even explained the drink concept. It sounds like a really great way to treat yo self! Seating is limited to a couple perimeter benches and two of the cutest cookie stools. It'd be great to have outdoor seating, especially with summer coming up! Price. 1 cookie is $4.99 4 cookies = $17.99 6 cookies = $24.99 Dozen = $47.99 Location. They're in the Arroyo verde plaza where Westcoast Sourdough and the Habit are off Oceanside Blvd and Rancho Del Oro. Lots of other food establishments are opening up here and it's great to see Oceanside boom!

    Was in the same shopping center center having lunch and saw this place. I'm a sucker for getting something for dessert after lunch, so why not get a cookie! I couldn't decide, so I got two. I got the brookie and the chocolate chip, cuz well, I like chocolate. I like that they are soft and chewy! So, if you are in the are, try them!

    Dirty Dough is now opened in Oceanside and I feel they are a great addition to the dining scene. Dirty Dough is a cookie chain that is quite popular in SoCal. I originally visited their location in Poway and I was impressed; it gave me a good experience to compare to our location in Oceanside, off of Rancho Del Oro Dr. Dirty Dough - Oceanside is located in a new plaza that was built on the hill, just off the intersection with the traffic light of Oceanside Blvd & Rancho Del Oro Dr. This plaza is marked by the HABIT Burger that can be seen clearly by the road. Their establishment is small, with little-to-no seating and this is consistent with my experience in Poway. While there is a bench inside, they are geared more for order-to-go & not "dining-in". There is some seating outside and with umbrellas, can make for a nice experience. I like that they have an app and order online option, so you can order to-go and avoid lines. Unlike their direct competitor, CRUMBL cookies, Dirty Dough specializes in stuffed cookies. Which means, not only are their specialty flavors covered on the outside or on top of the cookie, but also within the cookie itself. This adds to the experience with every bite and also allows for that "gooey" texture, as the filling leaks out with every chew. I have had the experience of having cookies that weren't cooked all-the-way-through at Crumbl. While, Dirty Dough cookies are super-soft & moist, the ones I've tried were cooked thoroughly. I'd also like to add that, while the cookies ARE sweet, they are not OVERLY sweet that I NEEDED to have milk or some beverage to wash the flavor down. This is not to say that they aren't sweeter than your average bakery cookie (they are). But in comparison to Crumbl, these cookies I could enjoy without "sugar-shock". One thing to note is that they have weekly alternating cookie flavor specials. So, it's great to check with their app to see what's available beforehand. But they will also have a few staple flavors that remain consistent on the menu. Dirty Dough also has dirty drinks, dirty milkshakes, dirty coffee, and dirty icecream; with "dirty" in reference to the immersion of cookies within their recipes. Overall, I love what Dirty Dough - Oceanside is bringing to the dining scene and I deeply appreciate that they are locally-owned as well.

    Ordered delivery, and the cookies were soft and appropriately packaged. I anticipated the cookies to be sweet (like Crumbl), and they were sweet, but not as sweet as Crumbl cookies, which I appreciated. I personally like soft chewy cookies vs hard cookies, so these were perfect. I've tried all their flavors for the week, and they were all my good. The marshmallow one was the best though- not as sweet as one would expect too. I'd definitely choose them over Crumbl cookies!

    After a good meal, you gotta say yes to a sweet treat! That's what we did after dinner this past weekend. Service was speedy and we got some delicious warm cookies ( Chocolate Chip and Cookies and Crème). The cookies are thick and savory and glad I waited until I got home to partner it with a large glass of milk!! They carry other flavors which I'll try next time. Coffee and other beverages are also sold. Parking wasn't too bad for a Sunday.

    The inside was clean and the staff were very friendly. My daughter and I decided to try this place. The cookies just didn't taste good, they both tasted very undercooked and too sugary. We ended up throwing them away.

    Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Rhonda J.

    Cutest Spot + Best Cookies = OBSESSED! This is hands down the cutest little gem with the best cookies I've had in a long time! Not only are the treats incredible, but the service is just as sweet--A1 all the way! I tried the "Junk In The Trunk" and the Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip... CHEF'S KISS, MWAH! Seriously, both were soft, flavorful, and baked to absolute perfection. Their cookies bring big energy, and the whole vibe of the place matches it perfectly. I absolutely adore this spot and can't wait to come back for more cookie magic!

My fiancée & I had seen Parlor Doughnuts numerous times after the Oceanside Sunset Market. & every single 1 of those times, we were already too full from grazing at all the food stands by then to give it a try. So on a Saturday afternoon, when we just happened to be nearby, we popped in for some impulse buy doughnuts. With a staggering variety of delicious looking toppings/ flavors, the possibilities looked enticingly intriguing. Staff behind the counter was friendly attentive, & helpful. Although there are some savory options available, which seemed to me like pizza toppings on doughnuts, we stuck with sweet: maple bacon & bourbon caramel. Tried & true flavor combinations, both. But the dough, whoa. For starters, the 2 doughnuts we got didn't have holes. That actually makes a difference in how the doughnut cooks. Secondly, the dough ate more like bread dough than a doughnut. Doughnuts have a hole for a reason. You see, it's physics, son. When you consider how thermodynamics affects an oblate spheroid vs. a toroidal sphere, it becomes evident that a doughnut without a hole will not cook evenly throughout inside. In fact, this was specifically proven on MasterChef Canada Season 8, Episode 8 during a doughnut pressure test. In that episode, Andres forgot to put holes in his doughnuts & they were undercooked in the center. Hey, I did start this review with admitting I'm a nerd who watches too many cooking competition shows. Uniform doneness aside, there was also the breadiness. If I'd been told these doughnuts were some kind of new take on Pan Dulce, maybe I would've liked them more. But given the expectation of a doughnut, what I tried at Parlor Doughnuts just wasn't it. The staff was great, & the toppings were fine. But with the word "dough" literally in the name of the product, to come up short there leaves something to be desired.
