Came in on 12/16/25 with my beautiful wife and adorable little daughter, Gold Rush Cookie Company is relatively quiet cafe with housemade drinks, cookies, and scones. We got the Ginger Molasses and The Late Night cookies. Ginger Molasses had a strong spicy taste for those who love crystallized ginger inside the cookie and I loved it.l! The Late Night is a double chocolate cookie made with bittersweet chocolate that tasted like midnight indulgence no one should know. Very good and we will be returning again read more

Hubby, our tot and I stopped by for an afternoon treat! We ordered 2 cookies, the Spicy Ginger(molasses) and The Late Night(double chocolate.) My hubby LOVED the ginger one, ginger helped his headache too!! I thought the double chocolate had a nice melty center and decent flavor. This kosher exclusive bakery and espresso shop is run by a husband and wife team! The small business had some festive Hanukah decorations up and staff were sweet and helpful! SYOY! :D *Song Credit: Joyful Christmas Musician: SergePavkinMusic Site: https://pixabay.com/music/-joyful-christmas-116574/ read more

How have I missed this deliciousness until now?! Grass Valley can boast a lot of excellent baked goods and these are some of the finest I've tasted so far. I sampled the Cinnamon Honey Scone, a pastry with the texture of a scone and the flavor of a Snickerdoodle (but not overly sweet); also the peanut butter cup cookie, moist peanut butter cookie with chocolate and peanut butter; most impressive, the gluten free oatmeal cookie, deliciously moist and flavorful. The space is spartan but clean, the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a detour inside as your strolling Main Street or preparing a picnic. read more

Perfect place for a soft baked cookie! They have enough flavors to please everyone and great service as well. I suggest getting their Toffee Chip cookie, which was phenomenal. The lemon and snickerdoodle cookies were also very tasty. I also liked my cinnamon maple latte, and their drink menu seemed fairly large for a cookie shop. This is a cute stop in this tourist town. read more

Gold Rush Cookie Company is a simply decorated store. A few tables inside to sit at. No public restroom. Food: Lemon Sunshine - Citrus-y flavor with the firm outside, yet soft and flavorful on the inside. Spicy Ginger - Strong ginger flavor with hints of Molasses. My favorite of the two. Blueberry Scone - Moist and flavorful. Support your local business. Congrats on being at this location for over a year and overall in business for over 6 years. Best of luck to you! read more

Great new cookie and coffee place in the heart of downtown Grass Valley! See todays receipt ( August 6). They are located on East Main Street with plenty of parking across the street. When you walk inside it smells sooo good..fresh baked cookies! They have an assortment of coffees as well. They have more than just cookies ( see my photos). I got a chocolate cookie and a 12 ounce coffee to go. I will have to fight over the cookie with my boyfriend! They have inside and outside areas to enjoy your sweets. Don't forget to try their babkas! The owners are friendly and the whole building inside has been completely redone and it looks and feels like a brand new place! Right now they are doing a soft opening, so check the hours I took a picture of. Gigantic cookies and definitely worth the price! Good job! read more

Best cookies I've ever bought (and I buy a cookie from every cafe that sells them). All the ones I tried were absolutely delicious! 100% worth the price. read more

Absolutely the best cookies Ive ever had. Their recipe for chocolate chip is PERFECTION! Not really sure what that guy is talking about who wrote a 2 star review. Cakey? Not at all! Also, comparing girl scout cookies to this cookie master is absurd. Laughable even. This place is fabulous. read more

We love their chocolate chip cookies! But the real surprise was their blueberry scone-the best scone I've ever eaten! Love this place

I tried this place so you don't have to. The cookies are, well how do I say this nicely... bad. Ratings - Peanut Butter - D (Being generous. Felt bad giving an F) The peanut butter cookie with no peanut butter???? Maybe I got one where they forgot to put it in? It tasted like nothing. Snickerdoodle - C Tasted like a snickerdoodle! Not good, not bad. Not much more to report. Toffee Chip - D Again, where's the flavor? The toffee was a big glob in the middle of the cookie. Tried another cookie but I don't remember the flavor. They all tasted the same and my party didn't finish any of them. :( Service - C Owner wasn't welcoming. Girl working was friendly. read more

DELISH!! A Must Stop!! My husband and I were heading out of town and decided to grab a cup of coffee, so glad we stopped at Gold Rush Cookie. What a delightful find, The coffee was absolutely delicious, and the cookies Wow! We tried a few different varieties, and every single one was a winner. If you're in the area, this place is a must stop for a sweet treat and a great cup of coffee read more

Hands-down, the best snickerdoodles I've ever had in my life! Everything I have bought here has been phenomenal... Thank God I'm not on a diet or I'd be in trouble because I can rarely get out of there without purchasing at least a half a dozen because I do have to share with my husband after all, lol read more

Oh so delicious! These homemade cookies are so wonderful! They are made fresh daily with only the finest ingredients. Every cookie tastes fresh from the oven with just the right amount of crispiness on the outside and slight chewiness on the inside. My personal favorite is the ginger cookie. If you like ginger you must try it! It is prepared with little pieces of crystallized ginger candy. So so good! We are so lucky to have Gold Rush Cookies in Grass Valley! read more

We visited the bakery yesterday for the first time yesterday and we purchased some cinnamon rolls. I had to come on yelp and give a review because those cinnamon rolls were the best cinnamon rolls we have ever had no joke. read more

Amazing, delectable cookie, served right out of the oven! 5-stars! Wish I was able to try the cinnamon roll, but they were already sold out. Hopefully will get there earlier in the day the next time I visit GV. read more

These cookies are delicious and so soft. We got the pumpkin, peanut butter, chocolate, peanut butter cup, ginger and oatmeal and all tasted fresh and homemade. Each cookie had a distinctive taste that matched each flavor without being too over sugary .We also got the pumpkin cold brew and it was yummy!!! The service was warm and personable. The location in downtown grass valley is also very quaint.. We will definitely be back! read more

Great service and delicious cookies. The lady at the store was super nice and friendly! Will be back!

I've been buying these cookies and chocolate babka almost weekly over the last couple years, from the Nevada City farmers market. (Shout out to the snickerdoodles and chocolate chip!) When I heard they had a new spot with breakfast and coffee options, I had to check it out. The breakfast sandwiches are made on freshly-baked biscuits which are AMAZING, with perfectly-seasoned eggs and melted cheese. They're so big that I saved half of mine; my willpower paid off later when I got to enjoy it for an afternoon snack. Can't wait to go back for more. Regarding pricing, everything is totally reasonable for the flavor and quality. These breakfast sandwiches would cost double at a sit-down restaurant. And the babka and cookies have made great gifts. Beyond the yummy food, Karen and Mark are super warm and friendly. Great customer service! If you're heading to Scott's Flat to be on the water or stage for mountain biking, this would be a perfect spot to fuel up. Only a few minutes drive from Grass Valley - and it's a beautiful one! Easy to spot this place off the highway. read more

This place is such a wonderful addition to the town. Their farmers markets stands just weren't enough, as their cookies really are THAT good. The owners are so sweet and kind and the shop is clean and open. Overall great place to grab a yummy cookie or coffee. read more

Unbelievably amazing cookies Spicy Ginger cookie and the homemade toffee cookie is unreal

If you have the great fortune to be in the area when they're open, definitely stop!! I consider myself to be a great baker and their cookies are truly something special. The biscuit on the breakfast sandwich is easily the BEST biscuit I've ever eaten. The crispy edges and flakey, buttery layers will keep me coming back. I want to buy these biscuits by the dozen. The service was also very friendly. read more

Won't let your young child use the restroom. Not even if you buy something. I've worked at small businesses before where we don't have restrooms for the public either but we still allow for children or pregnant women to use the employee restroom if needed. I've never wrote a 1 star review before but I was so appalled by their lack of compassion that this business and its people had that I felt it was necessary to post about our experience. Very unfriendly and not understanding. read more

The best chocolate babka I've ever had! Cookies are all delicious and have a great texture - my favorite is probably the chocolate chip cookie just because I love the classics, but you can't go wrong with any of their cookies! You can tell how much love they put into their products. Even though I don't live in Grass Valley, I will definitely be ordering online. read more

I always want to support a local business, but this one is very lacking. I ordered a variety of cookies, the cookie aroma was wonderful. The people were very friendly and answered questions.They were a fair size cookie. The biggest issue was they were all undercooked. They were cakey. Srike 1. The cinnamon was lacking on the snickerdoodle. Needed more toffee chips in the toffee cookie.(homemade toffee chips!) Strike 2. The peanut butter one was okay. The ginger cookie had the best flavor. For $2.50 a cookie, they should be outstanding and they should be right. I went back the next day and got cinnamon rolls, giving them another chance. The roll was cakey!!! Needed more cinnamon and they went lite on the icing. Strike 3!!!! You are out! Thank goodness I have some girl scout cookies left. read more

Best cookies in Northern California, definitely worth the trip! They taste just like Mom used to make!

Quite possibly the most delicious baked goods I've ever had! Their chocolate babka was mouthwatering and the perfect item to share, though it's so good you won't want to! read more

Best cookies around! My favorite is the Spicy Ginger, but all are fantastic! Looking forward to trying the Babka.

The Gold Rush Cookie Company crafts the very best cookies, hands down! I have tried most flavors and my favorite is the Snickerdoodle. You can't afford to miss out on their Chocolate Babka either. The owners are wonderful, generous individuals, and they bake with love, integrity, and passion for their products. I just ordered online as a gift for a friend, and got rave reviews. Kudos to Gold Rush Cookie Company and the Yummiest. Cookies. Ever. read more

The best cookies in the county! The ultimate home made cookie textures and flavors... just like grandma used to make. I love supporting our local small businesses and have had nothing but positive interactions. read more
