Chocolate Chip cookie
Erika H.

Came to Grandma's cookies as I was in the area. It a cute small cottage located on Main Street. There is street parking. Upon entering, the smell of fresh baked cookies fills the air. There is a small gift shop that has apparel, gift bags, cookie tins and more. It is a small place, and can be crowded during busy hours. Once I made it to the cookies, i was greeted by a gentleman who was related to the infamous Grandma. He was very pleasant and gave me a little history on Grandma. Grandma was a foster parent to at least 24 foster kids, and she took in a sibling group of 10. I ordered chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and snickerdoodle cookies. They were Absolutely delicious and my family enjoyed them. They are huge and can definitely be split in half to share. I also purchased 3 dog treat cookies for my fur baby.

This is a 10 star! Grandma's Cookies in St. Charles is serving up straight bombs of goodness disguised as cookies and they are divine. Let's be clear, this chocolate chip cookie is not here to win a beauty contest. It's a dense, misshapen blob of joy that will ruin all other cookies for you. It's chewy, gooey, warm, and tastes like childhood and poor but needed diet decisions. The staff is sweet and will happily guide you through your sugar spiral. And the shop is adorable. Quaint enough to pretend this is a wholesome outing, even though your blood sugar says otherwise. Great for gifts, party favors, or just hoarding in your car like a raccoon. Grandma didn't raise a quitter so get two.

Holiday combo! A cookie and a drink for $2.99 plus tax

It was so great! Smelled amazing. I feel as though this is one of the Main Street experiences you need to have, going to Grandma's Cookies. It was packed the holiday season so I went during the week and the line was shorter! The chocolate chip cookies are amazing, no wonder people were coming in and order dozens on dozens of cookies lol I feel like the line moved fairly quickly and there were a lot of things to look at before ordering. Definitely a great holiday destination.

10/10! The strawberry cookie for June was delicious. Can't wait to try the lemon cookie for July.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie

Finally an updated review, this wonderful shop hasn't changed and that's what makes it so great. The smell is so mouthwatering and comforting you are so glad you stopped in. They have 6-7 flavors they offer every day plus a monthly special and they even have 2 gluten free cookie options.

There's a reason there's lines out the door sometime! Each cookie is delicious and the staff members are friendly for how busy it is. This time I opted for a regular chocolate chip, the scoop in the middle is what dreams are made of - baked enough to be cooked but still delightfully soft. I got a hot apple cider as well. They have a combo right now - a cookie and small hot coco or cider for 2.99, a great deal for a yummy snack! Their Christmas decor is especially cute.

I went here with some friends on a Friday night at around 6:00 PM. There was no line and we were able to take our time making our cookie selection! The employees were very friendly, patient, and efficient. The cookies are a great price! I ended up ordering one sugar cookie and two chocolate chip. The texture of the cookies are a bit different than my usual preference. I typically like a soft, gooey texture, but both types I tried here were a bit more on the crumbly, grittier side. I wonder if I would like them better warm! Nevertheless, I was not disappointed in the flavors and my overall experience. I have heard amazing things about their lemon cream cheese cookies and their apple crumble cookies, so I can definitely see myself coming back to give them a try! I also heard they offer a nice deal for their day old cookies, so I would love to check that out next time, too.

Quite simply the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever tasted. I love cookie dough and these cookies bring you the cookie dough experience but in a deliciously baked cookie. I realize they aren't everyone's favorite, but if you haven't tried them before, hurry out to St. Charles and pick up a dozen or so. You owe to yourself and your family to give these cookies a try. We don't celebrate Christmas without them.

What are the odds of: 1) picking some random lunch spot, 2) while sitting at said lunch spot, impulsively deciding to see if there were any cookie shops nearby, and 3) finding out the recently rated #1 cookie shop in America (USA Today) is just 900 feet away from you? After reading the reviews that mentioned 30-minute waits, I decided I'd HAVE to put up with that wait for the best cookie in America! Much to my surprise there was NO LINE! I assume being the day AFTER Christmas instead of the day BEFORE had something to do with that as I was told the line was down the block just a couple days earlier. Ambiance was perfectly fine. Ordered one dozen (variety) without even checking the price. I was totally expecting to hear $30+ but when I was told $12.94 (after tax) I was shocked! Good to see the owner didn't let the award go to their head and inflate their great prices! Speaking of owner, I assume that's who was behind the counter. A very personable and friendly guy. Always good seeing good people succeed! Good thing I live no where near St. Charles as I'd be here way too often! I'm sure my three local friends who had never been or even knew of the ranking will be cursing me everytime they go back for another dozen! They absolutely LOVED the cookies!

This place was very busy during Christmas time. This place certainly has a Christmas feel to it during Christmas. The cookies were great. The cookies were decent size and filling. The sweet level was just right. I can see why this place is so busy especially during the holiday season. The long line of people waiting to get cookies speaks for the cookies themselves.

Sugar Sprinkles Cookies
Oscar R.

If you love Cookies this is the place to go. Located in the Historic Downtown of St. Charles. We came all the way from Chicago just to see what all the hype was about. Plenty of parking but does get very busy during peak time. Great service and plenty of variety to choose from. The store is very small but very organized and the line moves pretty fast. The cookie prices are very affordable. My favorite was the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip. We will definitely stop back for another few dozen when we're passing thru again.

But in the midst of getting lost, I found some really cool unique things inside of the building that this bakery is located in so it was a win overall. Anyway, I was really excited to try it and I looked it up before I came. I heard they had some very unique things and I was not surprised that unique was exactly what it was. They had so many different flavors of chips so many different sauces, homemade maple, pretty much anything you can think of that can be homemade in a flavor they had it and I loved it. I love how they had an area to sit down if you wanted to enjoy the bakery items or you could take them to go, which is what we opted for since we were having to get back on the road. Got some of the chips to try and they were not bad at all and grabbed some focaccia and a cinnamon roll and I must say everything was immaculate. It was so soft that bread and the cinnamon roll and I cannot wait to go back again. It was also very welcoming everyone was friendly and they moved very quickly in there.

The space is nostalgic, reminding me of ice cream parlors and candy stores from my childhood. There are display cases with their beautiful confections. They have just about anything you could want. The standout for me were these gorgeous oversized candy apples! Multiple different toppings and flavor combinations. They honestly look too pretty to eat. The store has a small kitchen area up front. I'm not sure if they use this space for making candy, but it appears fully functional. There is a small seating area towards the back of the store. They also have exceptionally clean bathrooms! Our visit that day was specifically for ice cream. They have a fantastic selection with multiple flavors to choose from. There was a small line, but the team was able to take care of our orders promptly. I went with a scoop of peaches and cream on a sugar cone. This was perfection! Rich and creamy with a nice balance of vanilla and generous chunks of juicy peach. My only complaint, is that I should have ordered a double scoop! There were four people in our group and we all tried a different flavor. Everyone gave their flavor five stars. If you're walking down Main Street, I highly recommend you stopping to enjoy a treat, and grab a few things to take home!

The inside of the café, it was super cute. Lots of tables and open space for working or catching up with friends. They had a lot of yummy looking baked goods to choose from. I got the Matcha X Matcha from the 2026 winter menu. It was the perfect amount of sweet but still being able to taste the Matcha, which I really appreciate. I also got a cherry danish that was soo good. And if you tried love to try a flavored Matcha or some of their coffee. After I ordered the drink and pastry came out super quick, which was really exciting. Sometimes small cafés take a while to make drinks, especially Matcha. I will say the barista was nice, but not super friendly or talkative. I might've asked some more questions about the Matcha options, but it didn't seem like she wanted to have a conversation. I get not everybody is super chatty and she was a good barista, but I think being a little bit more outgoing makes a barista great. Overall 10/10 will be coming back if I'm in the area.

I opted to try the macarons. They are my favorite thing. Their macarons are lovely. Just the right amount of crisp and give, the texture has a great chew, and fillings were delicious. Hands down going to become a place I go for macarons. The German Apple Cheesecake was also stellar, just enough tart and sweet to provide balance. I will return to try other things and if you're in the area, check them out!
