Lily's Cookies is such a fun stop when you're craving something sweet. I popped in for a few treats and ended up leaving with the cutest San Antonio Spurs-themed cookies--they almost looked too good to eat. Almost. Their Mexican wedding cookies are hands down the best in town--but the real surprise for me was trying their Mexican Coke chocolate cake for the first time. Absolutely superb. Rich, moist, and full of flavor. This place nails both presentation and taste. Definitely a go-to when I need something sweet. read more

Heavy sigh. I love cookies. I love cookie reviews. I love Taylor Swift almost as much, so imagine my excitement to get a TS themed cookie, thank you TikTok, and an opportunity to review said cookie?! But. I also love service. I doubly love good, enthusiastic service. I was served alright, but not by someone who seemed to be excited to welcome me into this cute little cookie shop. I left w wanting more, especially if I'm dropping almost $40 on semi-ok decorated TS cookies. (These are gifts, so I have no rating to provide on taste). read more

First - look at this picture! These cookies look amazing. Taste great too. My daughter had them delivered to me because tonight is game 1 of the NBA finals, and the delivery went great. I cannot say anything about the ambiance because I did not go in. But look at these cookies! Go Spurs Go. read more

Lily's Cookies - Spurs themed cookies that look and taste great! - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Lily's is a well known cookie shop, dare I say, the most well know cookie shop in San Antonio. Best known for their custom crafted cookies, they always make sure to have cookies that reflect the season's events and themes! So right now they have Valentine's Day themed treats and over the weekend I saw some Super Bowl goodies. They also do custom orders! The team at Lily's cookies is so creative and pays attention to detail. Each decorated cookie is handcrafted. They also sell more traditional style cookies, which are so flavorful! I'm not really a cookie person but I have to eat Lily's Cookies if I'm near any! Located in the Olmos Park/Tobin Hill area, Lily's Cookies is open every day except Sunday! read more

I've been going to Lily's for years and they make really good cookies (I highly recommend the Ranger, Ice Lemon and Texas Honey) and decent lemon bars (a little dry IMO) and cupcakes. That being said, the price is ridiculous for the size of the cookies and they've seemingly gotten smaller over the years. Last time I came here it was about $22 for a dozen cookies, some cupcakes and a lemon bar. Out of that cost, the cookies were $10/dozen, lemon bar $3.75/ea and cupcakes were $4/ea. Also "promotions" don't seem to be universally known. On this specific visit, they gave me a 13th cookie free (baker's dozen) but other times this is not the case. Compare that to the other bakery I venture to downtown - they don't do cookies or lemon bars but their cupcakes are $3.25/ea or $1.50/ea for day old. They're also larger in size. read more

Great cookies and service. Loved by Children and Adults. It is hard to drive by the store when I have an itch for a snack. read more

In San Antonio, I can't think of a cookie bakery more revered and celebrated than Lily's. Having been around the last several decades, they've sustained a loyal fan following and they deserve alt the kudos for keeping the cookie game on high standards. in the morning, there is an aroma permeating the room from all the fresh cookies and pastries being baked. The smell is intoxicating (#1) and it actually makes me want to purchase more cookies as a result. There is no seating, apart from a tiny table outside. Takeout is the name of the game here. Peruse the display case for the fresh selection and pay special attention to the seasonal items as it changes often. I've seen the latter for Halloween + Fall themed cookies and they were outstanding. I haven't walked out with a cookie that didn't impress me just yet. They also serve brownies, chess squares, and even doggy treats. The oatmeal cream pies are straight up sinful with how good they are. There are also cupcakes and custom designs for special occasions. Any one of their assorted selection boxes / bags make for stellar gifts. Lastly, the service has always been kind and patience with me. The young ladies that work behind the counter are always transparent with their recommendations and are amiable. There is dedicated parking available in the lot next door. If I still lived in San Antonio, I guarantee this would be a regular haunt. ____________ (#1) I wish my laundry smelled like this. read more

Pretty cookies that taste good. On the way to a Christmas party, I needed to pick up some items for the cookie exchange. Service was quick and helpful. I asked them to put a variety pack together and they picked an assortment of delicious cookies and bars. The thing about Lily's cookies is that each cookie is hand crafted...almost too pretty to eat and certainly tasty. The service was quick and easy and I was in and out. You can see the "factory" making cookies for the day. It was nice to see behind the curtain. Every holiday has a different theme, it's always interesting to see what they have. read more

I absolutely love this bakery! The cookies are incredible -- my favorites are the ginger molasses and iced lemon, but honestly every flavor is delicious. Their hand-decorated cookies are not just beautiful, they actually taste amazing too! The pecan pie bars taste like the holidays all year round. The service is always wonderful -- I'm greeted with a warm welcome every time I visit, and everyone there truly goes above and beyond. The owner is the sweetest lady and you can tell she genuinely cares about every order that comes through. Shout out to the front girls who I know work hard through the holidays we appreciate yall! read more

I arrived to Lily's cookies around 3:30PM on a Tuesday and was surprised to see how crowded it was - a good sign for my first time visiting! I was luckily able to secure a spot in the parking lot as there was only one left at the time. There were a few families in front of me in the line (and some behind me in the line as well), but it the women behind the counter worked quickly and it didn't take much time until I was helped! I really appreciated how friendly the staff was and how much they hustled to get everyone helped. One thing I loved about this cute shop is that you can see the staff decorating the cookies right behind the counter - so fun! All of the cookies and bars inside the display case looked incredible and I loved that they even had cookies/biscuits for pups! I tried the following items: COOKIES: - Chocolate Chip Cookie: Tasty but could've been a bit heavier on the chocolate. I would heat this cookie up before eating next time - Cowboy Cookie: One of my favorites! A fun take on your regular oatmeal cookie. - Orange Sugar Cookie: Incredibly soft and crumbles when you pick it up. Eat it in one bite! - Poppyseed Thumbprint Cookie: Although this one wasn't my favorite.. I oved that this had as much jelly as it did! - Chocolate Mexican Wedding Cookie: Not my favorite but would absolutely try the regular Mexican wedding cookie next time - Double Chocolate Pecan Cookie: Didn't actually taste any pecans in this but still enjoyed how soft and fresh this was. - Tulip Sugar Cookie: GET THIS ONE!!! DELICIOUS! BARS: - Lemon Bar: The top looked like the top of a creme brule and was very flavorful! Not your average lemon bar. - Pecan Pie: Sticky goodness! - Brownie: Tasted more like fudge... I was in heaven! - Hello Dolly: Yummy bar with a coconut undertone! - Snickers Brownie: Tasted just like you'd think it would! I expected to like the bars the best, but am shocked to say the sugar cookie was by far the best thing I tried! Don't leave Lily's without one! read more

After trying samples of Lily's cookies, I knew I'd found the perfect place for a custom order to celebrate my aunt's 65th birthday. I ordered 2 dozen, 1 dozen were margaritas with happy birthday written on them and sombreros with a 65. Cookies were a big hit at the party! Not only were the cookies beautiful to look at but also very delicious. Not overtly sweet, but definitely delicious! Very happy with how they turned out. Only caveat is that they are pricey and custom orders require a 2 dozen minimum. The front counter girl who took my order wasn't too well versed with pricing and details so she kept having to go back and forth to ask someone else my questions. Perhaps a more knowledgeable person tending to customers would make a smoother ordering process. Overall, very happy with the service and items received. read more

Lily's Cookies - Custom order - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Stopped by Lily's Cookies and sampled many different cookies and bars! I've tried the chocolate chip cookies, a raspberry crumble bar, a lavender shortbread cookie, a deliciously moist chocolate cookie, a yummy brownie with nuts, a sugar cookie with yellow sugar as well as a beautifully decorated sugar cookie in the shape of a flower. The chocolate chip cookie is to die for!! Soft but not in a bad way with so much flavor and melty chocolate chips. So good!! My favorite has been the crumble bar. It's sweet and delicious! The employees are helpful and kind. This woman-owned business was kicking butt when we stopped by! Lots of awesome women working hard to provide amazing treats for us! Great prices! Individual cookies in the jars were 95 cents or 12 for $10. They also do custom orders, which is awesome! We'll definitely be back for a special treat and for the next event we host! read more

Lily's Cookies - On the patio outside Lily's Cookies. These treats are amazing!! - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I have been meaning to try this place out since November (I wanted to get my husband a birthday surprise, but ended up having a change of plans) This cute little spot has a variety of goodies with some vegan and/or gluten free. Although there was a line and they were closing in 30mins, I was immediately greeted and treated as though I had all the time in the world. I was able to hear about what they do, the events/ordering ahead logistics of it all... it was great I will definitely be back! read more

This bakery shop has all the transparency it can be. Once you enter the store it will welcome you with cookie maker/designer. You can see how they do all the ones they are selling and it's pretty cool, never seen one like this. The service was really awesome and fast. The menu was there and making sure you can see everything what they offer. We had an additional order of raspberry brownie and cream pie. It was so good - cream pie used a carrot cake, it was soft, chewy and crisp, the way how they played with texture was really an added factor. (Not a baker but really trying to figure out how I can explain the goodness ). While the raspberry brownie was a nostalgia for me, I had something similar when I was in Highschool and I can't see any of it here, like a chewy oatmeal bar with caramel and chocolates the raspberry brownie was the closest and I enjoyed every bite of it. My partner and I will start to taste all the samplers. The place was really cute. The only they don't do dine ins (no chairs) so only take out. While they have spacious parking. Overall we will go back once craving hits again. read more

Cute little neighborhood shop that has yummy cookies, bars, cupcakes that are both regular some that are gluten-free/vegan. The display cases show massive bars and cookies as well as regular sized cookies. The decorative cookies are festive looking and everything looks yummy! There's a refrigerated case for soft drinks, milk that I think is for the coffee bar in the next counter and there's a coffee dispenser and coffee beans for sale. There's even dog treats in a separate container. You could see the cookie decorators/bakers decorating and preparing cookies on tables behind the counter. I saw about 3 women working. It's nice, cheerful and an open space for them to work their magic! The ceiling has these white decorative doilies like decorations hanging down which I saw when I entered. There are spots for 15-minute parking for patrons in the lot. It seemed like business picked up after I picked up my batch of sample cookies/bars. One woman had 2 pink cellophane-wrapped boxes, perhaps for a party. There are a couple of metal tables & chairs if you'd like to sit outside but it's a pretty busy street. About the sample bars/cookies: I tried the Red Velvet dome-shaped dessert that tasted a little like shortbread but with some chocolate and kinda airy too? I also had a cookie that tasted like it had nuts, coconut, brown-butter. It looked like it was a pecan bar on top, so maybe it was another flavor? The other chocolate covered bar tasted like a homemade Snicker bar!! Very delicious! There is a definite homemade flavor to the desserts which is rare to find. I like how the shop takes much care and pride in their desserts vs. mass-produced flavors. Support local!! read more

I was part of a Yelp Elite event and went by Lily's Cookies today to try some treats. I live really close but never knew about this place till now. Cute little shop, walked in and was greeted immediately. They checked me in an got me a goody box, I saw they had Mexican Wedding cookies, which I live so I might have bought a few lol. And they had dog biscuits!! So of course I had to buy some for my baby. The girl in the shop told me what was in my goody box, but I don't remember, I'll match them up with the website. I devored my wedding cookies, no pic to show and they were delicious. I tried a couple more treats from my box, and everything is so fresh and tasty. Oh and what a generous goody box! Two layers of treats. Thank you so much Lily's! I'll definitely be back, especially for Mexican Wedding cookies!! Also thank you to Yelp for inviting me! read more

I called Lilly's cookies on a Friday afternoon about an event for the following Thursday. I ordered dozens of cookies plus 2 party platters plus 4 dozen custom-made cookies with my company logo. (Picture attached). The staff I spoke with were friendly and helpful at every level. They delivered all the cookies to my office on time. Each one was perfect and delicious. I was tired of the huge, half-baked cookies other popular places make which are too big to eat a whole one. These were the perfect size and just like mom used to make, only prettier. They did make one tiny mistake in that I requested red sugar around the rim of the custom logo cookies, but they used white sugar instead. If they ran out of red sugar, I wish they had called and told me, but I would have said that's fine. They were still beautiful and no one knew the difference except me. I will definitely call on them again in the future. read more

I was fortunate enough to go to a few Yelp events and some local Yelpers mentioned a perk they had from Lily's Cookies and how good they were. Based on their word I decided to try Lily's on my way out. I pulled into the lot before they opened but they let me in a couple minutes early. They have a huge variety-different shapes, sizes and types. I took advantage of the extra time to just look around and take pictures. It felt like being in someone's home well, if someone had a bunch of cookies in their home. I went with a dozen of their homestyle cookies, they rotate flavors but the Ranger, Texas Honey, Iced Lemon and the Chocolate Mexican Wedding Cookies and Rosemary Shortbread were good enough to get repeats of. Each time, the staff was helpful with decisions but gave me space to come to my own conclusions. I have to try their other styles of cookies but their homestyles keep calling me. read more

How cute is this bakery! Oh my gosh I've never been more in love! The smells! The amazing baked goodies they have on display! The staff is super patient too because I definitely did not come in prepared to order. They packaged up my goodies in a cute pink box with a sticker so my husband will know if I snack without him. Now I can wait to get home and enjoy these little bites! I also picked up some dog biscuits that I know my spoiled furbies are going to LOVE. Especially knowing that they're fresh biscuits, I couldn't be a happier dog mom. read more

Lily's cookies by far has some of the most beautiful, and delicious cookies in the city. I've had Lily's cookies before and party's and events, but of course I didn't want to look like the greedy glutton in the room and stuff them in my purse and sit in a corner eating them all. (As tempting as it was.) But here I stand about 4 years later getting my own box of assorted cookies to binge one. Sugar Cookie: They are always so beautiful! They have a light crisp on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside, not crumbly, won't fall apart. They are not too sweet, not event the frosting, just right with an ever so slight hint of lemon flavor? I love eating mine with orange juice over milk. I can't explain it, you just have to trust me and try it. Mexican Wedding Cookie: This was the best wedding cookie I've ever had. Usually you take one bite and they explode into powder and choke you. These did not. Great texture and flavor. I would've loved to dunk it in some cafecito. Poppyseed thumbprints: I tried these in both flavors, apricot and raspberry. They meet the standard of what a thumbprint should be. I've tried these from various bakeries and as long as you follow the recipe, they will be fine. Good balance of sweetness, that's huge to me, too much sweet kills the ability to single out the other flavors. Nice and chewy. Texas Honey: Okay, this cookie was ridiculous! I brought one home for 4 people to share and that was not a good idea. The Texas Honey is flipping amazing. I'll be heading back to grab some for Thanksgiving (or not . . . That means we'd have to share. I could probably eat a dozen all by myself.) Almond Toffee Crunch: This one was okay, not bad, not great, just a good cookie. It had crunch but I didn't get enough toffee flavor, but it was good. Raspberry Bar: Now, if you care about image and esthetic, this bar won't grab your attention. But that flavor was spot on perfect! They are not stingy with the raspberry at all! This bar is hearty, earthy and sweet, again not over-the-top sweet but just right. Moist, this bar just made me happy. It was excellent. The density of it would be great to pair with black coffee, and maybe eat half now, half later. This one will definitely be a repeat for me. Special Bar: The special bar was a pumpkin cream cheese bar, and again . . . Lily's has got baking down to a science. My family and I destroyed this bar! It was so good! Things like this are dangerous, I could probably eat one a week and see nothing wrong with it. Overall service: Lily's is in a very cute corner of town. Cute little lobby with lots of energy. Great customer service from the minute you walk in, simple set up to see everything available and they are happy to answer your questions and make recommendations. You even get to see everyone decorating the cookies! Reasonably priced, I've heard people complain about their prices but in my opinion, you get what you pay for and these are worth every dime! The quality of ingredients and craft show up with each bite. I'm a fan! read more

You will certainly find something that you've been craving here. This place has a plethora of different types of cookies to sample. I ordered a dozen cookies for 7$ which I thought was pretty fair and I got 12 different unique cookies to sample. Flavors included: Texas Honey, Iced Lemon, Poppy Seed, Mexican Wedding cookie, Peanut Butter, Cowboy, and Ranger cookies. You are bound to find a couple of new favorite cookies if you decide to try all of the flavors. I also ordered a Lemon Bar which had flaky crumbly crust and sticky lemon curd on top. A solid choice.

Lily's Cookies has long been a favorite for not only beautifully-decorated cookies but also tasty. I've always admired how gorgeous and pleasing to the eye the cookies look and wish I could decorate that well. Yesterday, when I saw their Fiesta-themed cookies posted on their Facebook page, I knew I had to stop by to get some for my neighbor who has a Cinco de Mayo birthday. I was excited to give her a pre-birthday treat. I will say I had asked for the cowboy boot cookie and was a little disappointed not getting it for my neighbor. read more

I cannot believe I have never seen this before. I first came here with a Yelp event and had to come back! This place is so cute to go to on the way to the zoo or even on the way home! As soon as you walk in, you get hit by the smell of sugar. And then get hit by the glistening of the icing of the sweet sweet treats. It's a small local shop but I am sure glad they exist! You can tell they work hard day in and day out because they have people working and making fresh baked goods throughout the day right behind the counters. After ordering your treats, from what I recall, you can have a seat outside where you can eat your treats with your family or even a fun first date! read more
