Every time I pass this shop in the tunnels, there seems to be a line, so I gave un to curiosity to see what the fuss was all about. I was a little taken aback, seeing that the cookies were stacked in several piles on the pans, behind the glass partition. The young lady behind the counter explained they were closing soon. At any rate, I ordered the $5.50 two pack of the Chocolate Chunk cookies and continued back to my desk. With my new favorite cookie place breaking the mold on chocolate chip cookies (I won't crumbl under pressure to mention them), I knew that any other place would have a hard time competing. These cookies may be a good after lunch mini-snack, but they are not $2.25 per cookie good...to me. read more

The gluten free chocolate chip cookie is just like a pepperidge farm cookie. It tastes a little like macadamia nut and very soft.

Great cookies. Try the Tiramisu one it's the bomb! Hidden gem for dessert in the Htown underground.

Great home made style cookies . Never been disappointed by a flavor yet, both locations are really good cookies, the bakery seems the freshest tho read more

OMG! Their oatmeal cookie was the BEST cookie I ever did have! Workers were so friendly and they had such a great selection!

Love supporting this local Houston cookie shop! This is a favorite to get for treats at work as it's right under my building. Quick service, delicious cookies, and a great happy hour! They do 2 cookies for $3 from 2-3 pm. My favorite is the m&m - it really gives nostalgic energy! read more

The 2 young ladies working there are so sweet and funny. They were so helpful with cookie recommendations and did not disappoint, I came back in 5 mins. And again the next day for the double chocolate mmm mm! All of the flavors were very tasty, but that one is definitely my favorite. It's a small shop but there is plenty of seating right outside. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be back! read more

Michael's cookie jar has solid standard cookies that taste like they came from your kitchen. They're no frills and don't have all the fancy wild flavors that some shops have, but they're a great option when you're looking for the classics. They have all the classic flavors you'd expect - chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia, peanut butter, m&m, oatmeal raisin, etc. The cookies have the chewy soft texture that I'm a fan of. read more

Stopped here while on my Houston Tunnel Tour (see my review of Urban Adventures for more details) and the lady working was so friendly. I got a toffee cookie and it was still warm! So delicious. Love this place. If you're underneath Houston, take your C.H.U.D. friends here and buy them some cookies! read more

Just passing thru and highly enjoyed my cookies from this place. I'd highly recommend trying it out

I think Michael's cookie jar is really nice place for treat. I had a chance to take a Houston downtown underground tunnel tour. Our tour guide took us here an had a chance to have a big chunk of chocolate chip cookies. It was so yummy and enjoyed so much. They have a big variety of selection of cookies. The staff was super kind and I cannot wait to visit there second time. Who has a sweet tooth, I highly recommended this bake shop for sweet treat. read more

Michael's Cookie Jar - Lost here - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered some St. Patrick's Day Cookies for a celebration. My husband isn't a big cookie man, but he loved it. They are like homemade, and really delicious . I think the best in town. and they we're wrapped individually Most ate then instead of taking home. Yummy Thank you Michael for such a need. Can't live without cookies. read more

This is a very dangerous place - especially on Monday's or after 2pm when it is Happy Hour. Their chocolate chip cookies are probably the best I've had. They have daily specials such as their red velvet sandwich cookies or their butterfinger cookies which are delicious. This is down in the tunnel and takes a bit of a walk for me to get there, which is a good thing since I can walk off a bit of the calories. I do wish they had some of the cookies from their other locations here, but what they do have makes up for it. read more

The best cookies and prices..no offense, I am so turned off of multiple nose piercings..They aren't clean people..

I am not a sweets person and I rarely eat cookies... I stopped here with a co worker getting lunch so I decided to try the lemon and oatmeal raisin.. The Lemon was DELICIOUS... It wasn't too sweet and the lemon wasn't too powerful.. It was perfect... It was almost 2pm so it was happy hour and everything usually closes at this time in the tunnels, so I wasn't expecting the cookies to be as soft and moist. But I was wrong! See you guys tomorrow lol :-) read more

Ventured in the tunnels today and symboled upon Michael's Cookie Jar. The lemon cookie is delicious. Will have to return again soon!

Delicious fresh baked cookies! Lots to choose from. Love the decorated sugar cookies that are available during the holidays.

We visited Michael's Cookie Jar during Happy Hour (2-3 PM). I was excited to try this place and wanted so badly to love it. I love surprising my daughter with fresh baked treats. The entire store is indulgent and the cookies are a nice size. However, my white chocolate macadamia nut cookie tasted like tangerines/lemons. I was extremely disappointed. The only perk was that my daughter loved her sprinkle cookie. The person at the cash register was extremely rude when we asked about the rewards cards. There were no other patrons in the store, except myself and my coworkers. I haven't decided if I will be back. read more

Love me some cookies from Michael's Cookie Jar. It's extremely hard for me to pass up when I'm at Pennzoil. The cookies are so fresh and delicious. The employees are super nice even when it's crazy busy. They also have cookie happy hour. read more

I am not a huge dessert fan, but I finally tried a few cookies from here and WOW! THe cookies are dense and packed with extra oomph! For example, the M&M cookie has m&ms and chocolate chunks! What?!?!?! Another goodie is the peanut butter cookie that is dipped in chocolate (half the cookie is dipped). One thing I noticed is the beautifully decorated sugar cookies. They even had Texans sugar cookies! I liked my first visit so much I came back the next day. And the day after that I brought a few coworkers. Please visit this cookie place if you work in downtown. Cookie Happy Hour is 2-3pm where you can get 2 big cookies for $3. :) read more

Their cookies are delicious! My new addiction...this has become my new spot to get my sweets! I purchased some for my sister's birthday and she loved them as well. Recommend them 100%!! read more

Pretty good cookies. My favorite was the ginger--a perfect combination of sweetness and spiciness. It would have been nice if the chocolate chip cookie had more chocolate, but the cookie was fine. And "happy hour" 2-3 p.m. = $3 for two cookies (it saves you about $1). read more

Michael's Cookie Jar is the best place for a sweet treat downtown during the work day. I always look forward to my quick breaks to go get a cookie from Michael's during the week. The workers are so friendly and always have a smile on their face. The M&M chocolate chips cookies are to die for!! Soft, goey, and warm every time. I haven't had a treat I have not liked from here! I always accidentally miss happy hour, but I will have to go back during that time. An added bonus is their rewards card! read more

Fresh baked cookies at high prices sums up this joint. I've been wanting to try this since I started my new job. However, today I finally bit the bullet and got a couple of cookies. Man oh man, was that a mistake, they were so good I almost wanted to buy a whole box. Overall, I'm glad I tried this place even though I don't ever plan on coming back for obvious health reasons. It's not bad for a nice treat or pick me up every once in a while. read more

I didn't notice this cookie shop until my colleague drag me in and bought me a Palmier. At the first I was a little bit concern about the boring calorie so I thought I would just take one bite of it, and what a fool I was. The Palmier was crispy, buttery, and not too sweet. It was also very addicting, I say it takes superman's willpower to not finish this delicious treat. I went back to the shop second day with my friends. One of my friends insisted that he doesn't like sweets at all, and then he ravished an entire Macadamia nut cookies. I bought chocolate chunk cookie, peanut butter cookie, and oatmeal raisins cookie. They were all freshly baked and the flavor was very well balanced with the texture. Of course I finished all of them in a day and I accepted the fact I won't be superman anytime soon. The shop provides the punch card where you can get a free cookie after 4th visit in 10 days or less from your first visit. I've also heard that you get a free cookie if you bring a new customer to the shop, but do confirm with the cashier if the promotion is still valid. Oh and did I mention their cashier was very sweet and informational? The shop is small and neat, service was fast and delightful. There are lots of shops in downtown tunnel that selling cookies, but why buy massive factory produced one when you can get the warm fresh baked cookies from Micheal's Cookie Jar? I will try my best to not indulge that much when I go back to the shop. read more

Delish cookies. Friendly staff. Happy hour from 2-3...$3 gets you 2 large cookies or 1 cookie and a drink (milk, coffee, tea). They have all the normal cookies + very cute iced cookies and they all taste as good as they look. Ask for the frequent card...you'll be coming back :) read more

This spot is neatly tucked away in the corner of the tunnel system below the Pennzoil building. Their cookies are baked fresh every day and are delicious. They have just the right amount of butter and cooked so that they are firm but still delightfully chewy. I got the toffee with pecans and peanut butter varieties and both were excellent. Highly recommended. read more

My first time here and I will definitely be back. The staff was so sweet and very helpful. Liz at the front is very kind. Delicious cookies! 5 stars! read more

The BEST cookies downtown & super friendly people. My favorites are the choco-dipped peanut butter and their choco-chunck with Reese Pieces. Michael's cookie jar is perfect for when you need a little something special, a treat to say "thank you", or just a "today is a cookie sort of day" day. read more

A good friend of mine's mom told me about this place a few months ago and I've been several times since. The cookies here are amazing and always taste fresh! Right before the holidays I went with a few co-workers to their Happy Hour (such a fun idea - cookie happy hour!). The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because so far each time I've gone (at least 4) they have always been sold out of milk - cookies just are't the same without cold milk. read more

Their moon cakes r so yummy n fluffy! Get the mocha one if you like coffee omgggg!!!
