    Stopped by for something sweet after having lunch out and downtown cookies hit the mark. I got the Dan the man cookie which was amazing. Hard on the outside and soft isn't great middle a great combination of flavors: Carmel, chocolate, salt Can't wait to stop by again. Only complaint is the price for 1 cookie is over 3 dollars.

    I had the craziest sugar craving and decided to have a cheat day when I saw this place! The cookies were so big and had a cake texture but were soft and a little crunchy at the same time, literally perfect! I noticed that they also had a refrigerator with cookie dough that you could buy and bake in your oven at home! Im actually pretty happy that I live so far because if I did live closer I'd definitely gain a few pounds lol. Go satisfy that sweet tooth baby!

    I've been on the search for my favorite cookie in SJ. I personally love a warm, semi thin and gooey cookie. This was very thick and a little doughy but with lots of toppings which was nice. It's not my preferred cookie but I could see why it would be for someone else

    Stopped in for my Wife's birthday this morning and it did not disappoint. Greeted friendly right when we walked in the door. The store is clean and easy to navigate. As for the cookies, they were great. We got the Queen Lisa which was their staple chocolate chip cookie. It had a great crispy outside and warm soft center. We also tried the Blueberry Lemon cookie, this was a special for the month and was great too. It had more of a muffin consistency but they used local Jersey blueberries and you can definitely tell! Great spot!

    Ordered a tray of cookies for the weekend at the shore. Cookies are the best. Place was super clean and workers were friendly. You will not be disappointed it's a must

    Wow! A friend sent me a photo of their Eagles themed cookies today, so I rushed there!! They have a great variety and some of the best cookies I've ever had. I'll definitely be back!

    These are some of the BEST tasting cookies ever! My wife and I tried the peppermint chocolate, salted carmel, chocolate chip, sugar, and oatmeal raisin (my fave). These cookies are baked fresh and unite the perfect blend of crunchy and chewy in every bite. I can't wait to go back and try their other flavors and get more of their oatmeal raisin If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by Downtown Cookies and sample as many as you can!

    Stopped in for some tasty treats. Nice big cookies. Very nice selection and they taste as good as they look.

    Worth it! After stopping in for cookies and coffee I knew exactly where I was getting my next birthday cake. Everyone raved about how good the cookies and cream cake was. The staff is pleasant and the cake was ready on time.

    The custom "Bella Jane" cookie named after my newborn daughter as a gift to the nurses.

    I was worried coming here since I saw many reviews saying how they run out of pastries and that it…read morewas very small place. So my expectations were low. Just going to stop by since I was in the area. The bakery is in this shopping center and the parking lot was pretty full when I arrived Sunday afternoon. I agree with the reviewers that this place is small. I felt that I wanted to take my time looking at items but the space felt crowded while looking. Overall they had many options to choose some but there were some empty looking shelves in the far back. I managed to get a few items to try and a slice of cake. There are kiosks to also order drinks. The line was long but moved quickly. The items I tried: Cheesy hot dog: pretty good! very sweet bread with a tiny hot dog. White Chocolate strawberry: delicious strawberry filling. The bun was soft and not overly sweet. Berry bun: I got the very last one! DELISH! The bun of milky, soft and berry filled. My favorite probably. Taro bun: HUGE! Love the taro paste but the bread was alittle off since there was seeds in it. Not loving that texture Tiramisu cheesecake: very good fluffy cheesecake. Would have liked more tiramisu/coffee flavor. Chocolate bun: Another favorite. Very good chocolate fudge on the inside. Wish I bought 10 of theses. Egg tarts: I got the two pack. Wish I got the full box (maybe next time). Flaky buttery crust with sweet egg custard. Also a favorite. Overall everything I got was really good. I also loved that the prices were very affordable ($2-5). The only thing I would add is maybe to have more a description and allergens added to the cards so people with allergies could identify what they can and cannot eat. Cant wait to come back and maybe try one of the drinks :)

    The buns were decent but the milk tea was bad…read more I like how they have a constant flow of customers which meant the baked goods were fresh. It was packed, good thing they have a large parking lot. the milk tea on the other hand was using powdered and tasted artificial. the tapiocas were old and soggy. I would avoid at all cost.

    I've been enjoying McMillan's for well over 20 years, so this review is long overdue. Their…read moreclassic, chocolate frosted donut is an unrivaled masterpiece: it perfectly straddles the line between dense and fluffy, and the donut itself (not counting the delicious chocolate fudge frosting) isn't actually that sweet, unlike many modern competitors. Their Boston creme with chocolate frosting is also one of the best I've ever had of that variety. Apple cider and pumpkin are two of their absolute best seasonal flavors. McMillan's does NOT do weird gimmicky donuts with fruity pebbles or bacon or lord-knows-what-else on top. They just make damn good old-school donuts and pastries. There's a reason that Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook specifically called out McMillan's donuts as some of the best in the country. While donuts are the cornerstone of this family-run bakery, McMillan's offers so much more than that. One of their lesser-known gems is the tea biscuit with raisins - just crumbly, buttery perfection. Their cakes are never disappointing, and they do an excellent job with decorating them (if that's something you want - if so, just call ahead). They make pretty good seasonal pies, as well. The fruit-filled danishes are great, and they do a nice job with their muffins and sticky buns. We've also gotten dinner rolls before, and they were solid (although with Del Buono's and Deluxe nearby, the roll competition is stiff!). I LOVE bakeries and I visit them wherever I travel. When it comes to donuts, very few (perhaps none) have stood up to McMillan's in terms of overall quality and value. I will be utterly devastated if this place ever closes.

    They are closing for good on Sunday May 18, 2025. I came here to place an order for next week and…read morethe lady said we are closing on Sunday they just told us. ...I thought she meant for the week but she said no for good :( I love this place the best bakery ever!!!!!!!!!! I'm truly sadden !
