One of the best cookies I have ever had. The store was full of fun sweet treats for Super Bowl and Valentine's Day. Small and intimate space. Service was friendly and welcoming. Will return when in the area. read more

Locally owned and baked, with a great mix of cookies, bars, brownies, and cupcakes. There's a dedicated gluten free section, and they serve warm cookies as well. The employees are great and offer great suggestions! We were recommended to try the peanut butter and jelly cookie. I don't even eat PB&J but these cookies are a delectable, crumbly peanut butter cookie with a light sugar crust, finished with extra peanut butter and a spoonful of jelly in the center. If they're in stock, they're a must try! The Twix cookie is also great- it's a shortbread base, caramel, and chocolate, and the lemon bars and pop tart bars are also worth grabbing. The gluten free chocolate chip cookie is impressive. Small, welcoming space that is well worth the stop. read more

Would come here weekly if I lived nearby! Loved their warm brown butter chocolate-chip cookie pies. Such a smooth, gooey, creamy brown butter inside with just the right amount of salt and sweetness. Served warm and heavenly to break apart. Also cookie pies are a genius idea! Can't wait to come back and try the cowboy and all their oatmeal varieties. 5 stars!!!! read more

I love having a cookie here as a treat when I'm in half moon bay. They have the best selection of warm cookies with amazing flavors like s'mores, Nutella and dark chocolate sea salt. The cookies are not gooey and soft like crumble cookies. They're a bit crunchier but tasty nonetheless. This local shop is right in the downtown and they sell cookie bags to go and other knick knacks. read more

I stumbled in here because it looked like a cute gift shop. My timing also was great because the cookies were just put out and lucky me! The owner started her love for baking as a hobby and made it into a business to share her love for baking (you can tell by each bite). One of the features are they offer warm cookies. I tried the Nutella cookie and it was amazing! I even had it the day after and it was still good. I regret not getting a second cookie, but that's a reason to visit Half Moon Bay! As I mentioned, there were some cute gifts and picked up something for a friend but pick up a cookie or brownie for yourself. read more

I just went in here randomly and these sounded good. Got home. Tried them. so good! I ate them so slowly... made them last a few days. Got them to share with the kids but did not. I saved them for after their bedtime so I could enjoy their goodness in peace. I've been thinking of them every day... mainly because I saved this empty bag and I keep seeing it on my counter. I wish this place wasn't so far away. Service was meh... the lone person there didn't really acknowledge my existence but I don't care. I'm rating solely on the cookies. I'll make the 45 min drive again some day... just tried to look and see if it was possible a chain... but no such luck. I'm having second thoughts about posting this because what if next time it's sold out due to my rave review... make sure you leave one bag behind in case I show up! read more

A cute little bakery to get delicious baked goods! I learned it was called Fish Wife Sweets because the owner is the wife of a fisher who had always wanted to open a bakery store and her dreams came true with this bakery! Everything is made from scratch and I loved that you order get warm cookies. I got the dark chocolate and pistachio cookie and it was perfection on a colder cloudy day. Just enough gooey-ness from the chocolate and texture from pistachio was the perfect combination in every bite. It was also not too sweet which my preference. I would definitely order this cookie again or try another flavor when I come back, possibly in the fall for the pumpkin festival at HMB! read more

What started out as a cottage kitchen operation in 2015 has turned into a full-fledged brick-and-mortar in 2022. Fish Wife Sweets specializes in all the guilty pleasures of the sweet kind, including cakes, brownies, cookies, and cinnamon rolls, just to name a few. The Good: The cookies were why we decided to pay them a visit. They had some really intriguing flavors, but the sea salt brown butter chocolate chip cookies were calling my name. Carissa opted for the more exotic PB&J. Both were delicious, but the PB&J cookie was really outstanding, and I loved the unique concept. The Meh: *Parking in this "Downtown" section of HMB can be difficult, but as long as you're willing to walk a bit, you can usually score a spot. *Only open Thu - Sun The Ugly: *Pricing at $12/4 cookies was a bit rich, but since they were good, I'll (kinda) allow it. Conclusion: Great cookies and can't wait to come back and try some more goodies. read more

Great little sweet shop. We ran across this shop while spending a few days in HMB. We actually went back the next day and made another purchase. Needless to say, my family liked their sweets. lol They have a cookie warmer as well, with hot cookies available. I had to indulge and try one on our second trip. We ended up buying a bag. My kids really enjoyed their treats. I truly enjoyed the peach pie bar. I could only ate half as I was so full! Lol I brought the remainder home. I really could have bought even more things on day 3, but we already over indulged. Ha ha read more

Fell in love with the "Cowboy Cookie " a few years ago. But the bars are tasty too. Have bought cookies for Christmas Stockings and everyone loved them so much, each year Mrs. Claus has been asked if they are getting one. But this year, I have to say her exceptional service almost out weighs the baked goods (not really). There was a second page on my order that wasn't caught. When we went to pick up the order a couple things were missing. So asked about them. Luckily they had an extra pie, but the dozen of Cowboy cookies she would have to bake. We said no problem, we will come for them. Instead she delivered to our house 1/2 hour away. That is what we call, up and beyond great service. So Fish Wife, KEEP ON BAKING!!! read more

We LOVE coming here. We've never had a cookie, bar/brownie, or cupcake we didn't love (our favorites are the s'mores cookies - especially from the warmer, birthday cake cookies, caramel apple oatmeal cookies, lemon crumble bars, chocolate cupcakes, cookies & cream cupcakes, lemon cupcakes). You really can't go wrong with any of the warm cookies - they are SO good. We have ordered custom cakes for birthdays, and recently ordered a variety of mini cupcakes for our baby shower. Ordering is easy and fast, and everything has always been ready as expected. Moriah is the best, and we are customers for life! read more

Omg now I am going to have to make the drive on a regular, for the lemon bars and Carmel snickerdoodle cookies. They were so moist and perfect. This place will get me in trouble. Woman there was very helpful it was super busy and they still made sure they were available to answer questions and fast check out. Small shop but big flavors let me not forget about the pumpkin butterscotch blondie! Man oh man read more

Fish Wife Sweets recently did all the desserts for my daughter's bat mitzvah party at Long Branch Farms. She was a dream to work with! We had a western theme and we brainstormed flavors for a pie and cobbler bar for the event. It was a highlight of the evening! We had individual cherry, olallieberry and peach pies, and lemon, brownie and caramel apple cobbler bars. Everything was SO good! She also made a smash cake for my 4 year old niece whose birthday was that day. It was great to be able to brainstorm and customize everything to get just what we wanted. We also appreciated that jumped right in when we needed a little extra help with set-up - a true team player! Would highly recommend, and will definitely be using again! read more

Super cute and loved the S'mores cookie! They are so thoughtful to have a certain number warmed up, so you can enjoy it immediately in all of its gooey, marshamllow-y chocolatey glory. You can also take home sealed ones for friends/family. They also have bags of cookies for 12 dollars for 6 I believe. Love the wealth of flavors to try. I was particularly curious about the strawberry dipped in chocolate, so will have to try that + the Peppermint brownie next time! Along the main street in Half Moon Bay, great to walk this tiny strip because there's a lot of wonderful shops, restaurants here. read more

They were able to accommodate my very late order for a custom color wedding cake to fit the theme of our wedding. Mariah saved my day! She was very flexible about incorporating my ideas and sharing hers as well. I couldn't have been happier. Their cookies and pastries are also super yummy! Thank you! read more

We've been following this place on IG for years and are so excited to see their storefront! Tried a Cowboy Cookie at Breakwater BBQ when the owner was baking out of her home kitchen, the stumbled across a breakfast cookie at Dawn Patrol. This place is a must-try! Their S'mores and birthday cookies are absolutely delish and the customer service is super welcoming. Great location - old Garden Apothecary building on Main, next to the feed store. Love that they're also LGBTQ friendly! read more

Fun options. Loved the Ginger Molasses White Chocolate cookies. Cute shop. Friendly staff.

I love, love, love Fishwife Sweets! Moriah is a true gem and sweetheart to this community. I started following and ordering from her during the pandemic. Her treats are made with so much love and sweetness she definitely earns her name. I was even more excited when she opened her brick and mortar here on Main Street. Now I could have access to her treats whenever my heart desires it. First let's get into what got me following her in the first place. The very first cookie I ever had was her s'mores one. She sells them at Spangler's Market in El Granada. It's a beautiful idea. What kid or adult doesn't like s'mores!!! This brought memories of making them over my mom's stovetop. Lol. It's delicious! Another time, I was given a sweet treat from Breakwater BBQ while I was waiting on an order. This one was her Cowboy cookie and let me tell you, it's one if my favorites. She also makes biscuits, brownies and cinnamon buns. You can always find a themed cookie, cupcake or pie during the holidays. She has an incredible way of making treats more fun to eat. Her treats are super creative. The shop is filled with her treats but she also shares her heart with this community. You can find unique gifts from other local vendors for your pets, family or friends. Everything is locally made and one of a kind. If you're ever in town, stop by. It's the building that's the color of the ocean. read more

Cookies are delicious! Wish they sold more individual ones separately but the packs are great too! Staff is friendly and parking is pretty easy although it is in cute busy downtown Half Moon Bay. read more

HANDS DOWN THE BEST SWEETS IVE EVER HAD. My husband and I are from Charlotte, NC. We came out to California for vacation in May 2023 and were driving down Hwy 1. We stopped in the town to see the shops and stretch our legs. Needless to say we stumbled upon fish wife sweets and HOLY MOLY. I wanted to buy one of everything. We settled on the smores cookie and the churro bars. I remember them to this day and dream about eating them again. Planning the next time when I can fly out to get more haha. read more

THE. BEST. brownies and chocolate chip cookies. They have many cookie flavors, cupcakes and other sweets as well. Everything I've had was delicious. The lemon blueberry cookie was less lemony than I expected/hoped but still very good. First tried them at 2nd Saturdays on Harvard and have visited the store several times since. It is a small and fun little store with cute little knick knacks and trinkets. Everyone is nice and helpful. Once, I went to choose an assortment of cookies for an ice cream sandwich bar and they gave great suggestions for cookies that wouldn't just squish the ice cream out. read more

Great treats, great workers, lots of cool trinkets to buy on the side!! Love the vibes here

I have sweet tooth and stepped into this little shop ... there's a variety but I just ended up w a box of " Choc Chunk Brownies " . So delicious and they even get better the next day as the top gets a little crispy keeping the middle moist. The best secret is to cut in quarters as you eat ! Yummy yum read more

Best banana cupcake ever. Friendly fast service. My husband went back in for a second cupcake

I really wanted to like this place since I love giving my business to local businesses. I just didn't like it. The s'mores tasted very salty and weird. I don't know if it was just an off day or what. I also got a cupcake which was extremely dry and not tasty. This was the day of the pumpkin festival, so maybe they were just overwhelmed. I don't know. But it was not a pleasant experience, and was a waste of money. read more

Been eating these amazing sweets for sometime now. Let me tell you her cookies are absolutely delicious. Now she has a brick n mortar location to serve the community on Main Street.

Love. Love. Love Fishwife Sweets! A couple years ago, I was eating at a local bbq spot, and they were selling a Cowboy Cookie by Fishwife Sweets. One of the best cookies I had eaten. I had also tried their Breakfast Cookie at a local coffee shop. Again, excellent! When I found out the owner was opening a shop on Main Street, I couldn't wait. We were finally able to make it into her shop, and the amount of fresh, delicious, and yummy looking goodies was staring us in the face when we walked in. I was in heaven! We bought a birthday cupcake, mixed berry bars, birthday cookies, s'mores cookie, and stuffed sea salt chocolate Nutella cookie. OMG! Every item we purchased was delicious. I am not a fan of overly sweet foods, and these goodies had the perfect balance of sweetness. My new favorite bakery spot in HMB! The service was friendly, and the establishment was welcoming to all, and very clean. If you don't stop by Fishwife Sweets, you will miss out on a slice of heaven in HMB. read more

I ordered a birthday cake for my child's birthday recently. Loved that I could order a cake on relatively short notice and the communication was real time, quick and great! However, the cake we got for the party turned out to be just terrible. It was dry, dense and just very basic. While I was told in advance that the cake would have no designs on it (they dont do fondant work), all my party guests unanimously agreed that that cake was terrible in taste. I was very embarrassed and disappointed. Also hated tossing such a huge cake since we just could not see eating it post party. It literally was the bottom tier of a wedding. Just the whole thing was weird for a child's birthday party. read more
