We had a good experience at RMC. The lady who helped us was very friendly and patient as we decided what to order. The cookies are good but there are better in town. They are also pricey, but comparable to the cost at similar places nearby. There u is street parking, but during tourist seasons (May-Sept) or peak hours parking can be challenging in this area. Just park further and walk if necessary--there are lots of other shops near by to enjoy as well. On our visit they had low volume customers and the store was very quiet. We were there in the off-season (Oct-Nov). Worth giving these guys a try and see if u like any of their cookie "flavors." read more

I have stopped here a couple of times when I am in Cambria, it is near one of my favorite antique shops. They usually have some samples for you to try. The first time I came here (no pics) I grabbed a ton to try. Most were good but some weren't This time I decided to only grab the Lemon and Orange ones. They were moist and flavorful. Even though they are pricey, I would definitely come here again and try some other flavors, too. read more

What a great find. Sunday morning, little drizzle, looking for a sweet treat for the ride home. This place is on Main Street, don't miss it. The owner was working, super nice gentlemen, explained about his cookies, locally baked, flavors etc... told me there were free samples, to help myself. There were so many different flavors of cookies and a few brownies. I sampled a few, but pretty much got a double pack of each, chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, and several others. The cookies were definitely homemade and fantastic! read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Red Moose Cookie during my stay in Cambria. My friend and I were craving something sweet after having some lunch, so we thought a cookie sounded great. We were greeted by the sweetest man, who was likely the owner, and he gave us a great overview of his shop. There were samples of absolutely every cookie and brownie he had along the wall, and we were told to help ourselves to as many samples as we wanted. He explained how the white tongs had no nuts in case of allergies, which I thought was such a nice, small detail for guests. I left with three different bags of treats: the Nutless Wonder (described as a Cambria favorite), Oh Joy, and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie. All were delicious and very fairly priced. My favorite was indeed the Cambria favorite. They had an amazing texture and were full of flavor. Upon check out, I was introduced to the best helper, Charlotte (aka Charlie), the sweetest Corgi. She showed me her dinosaur toy, and she highly recommends the dog treats at checkout. My pups really enjoyed their treat once I made it home. If you have a chance to stop by this cute cookie shop, please do so. It was the most charming spot I visited during my stay in Cambria. read more

Before they moved to their Main St. location in Cambria, I had the pleasure of stopping into the Red Moose Cookie shop before they sold out of cookies for the day. Back then, they were located in a different isolated part of Cambria. A Hidden GEM!! Happy to see, though, that they have moved into their current location. The owners changed in late 2021, but it looks like the shop is in fine hands with the new owners. The following were my favorite cookie flavors: Peanut Butter Dream Chocolate Chip Cookie Snickerdoodlicious All were absolutely delicious!!! Don't know if they still make those flavors, but I look forward to finding out in the near future. My absolute favorite item that I've tried at Red Moose Cookie is not even a cookie. It's a brownie, and the flavor is the Caramel Walnut Fudge Brownie! OMG!!! To this day, that brownie is still the BEST brownie that I have ever had the honor to eat!! I really need to return to Cambria and stop by Red Moose Cookie!! Cannot wait!!!! Also hoping that they bake more cookies and brownies nowadays so we can get there before they are sold out for the day. read more

What a treat! Cambria is such a charming coastal town and I was warmly welcomed with the smell of freshly baked cookies & friendly greetings from the owner at Red Moose Cookie. I went for the orange vanilla bean cookie which was so delicious! The owner shared that cookies are baked fresh daily. Highly recommend stopping by this spot when in town! read more

This place is dangerous!! Especially with the samples: you think you're just going to get a couple cookies and walk out with almost everything they have in stock. The brownies, something I wasn't planning on purchasing, but did, are the best milk chocolate brownies with huge chocolate chips in them. Get some ice cream when you get home and serve them together. Now, let's talk cookies... your life will never be the same again after these perfectly made soft centered cookies. One type I have to note: the Root Beer Float cookies. I should have bought more because they disappeared way too quickly. My daughter got the m&m cookies. Although we really wish they had chocolate chip cookies without nuts. We are going to make a trip back up to Cambria just to go here and reload on cookies!! read more

Red Moose Cookie - Incredible!! These cookies are huge and come in 2 packs - Desserts Near Me - Cambria, California

We stopped by during our last trip to Cambria. I'll admit, I'm a regular at Brown Butter Cookie Company--I even dream about their cookies! My husband and son, however, aren't fans, so I usually just buy them for myself. This time, my family was eager to compare these cookies to Brown Butter's, and they unanimously agreed these were far better. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors. The customer service was outstanding, and you can sample all the daily flavors. Plus, they offer coffee to customers with a purchase. 8/9/24 read more

Amazing customer service! We walked in and were offered delicious brownie samples. We ended up buying several types of cookies. Our favorites are the m&m ones and the lemon cookies. The gentleman working there (I presume he is the owner) was very nice and friendly! Definitely recommend. These cookies would make a great gift. read more

We stop at this cookie shop every time we visit Cambria. We love it. The cookies are large, 2 per pack ( usually) and I believe each pack is $7.50 ( as of July 2025)They have samples out for Most of the items. None of them have frosting and many of their items contain nuts. They had brownies this last time I went in and some dog cookie treats. This location is clean, the service is great, very kind and friendly and the cookies taste very good. read more

Super cute place to stop at for a sweet treat. They offer a pack of cookies (each comes with two) and the cookies are pretty large which were delicious. The staff was friendly and shared with us the options they had for that day. We tried the snickerdoodle cookies and were delicious enough to shared amongst four of us but they are really good..so we should have bought more to avoid the sharing we didn't take pics because that's how quickly the cookies were devoured read more

I have been going to Red Moose cookie since they opened down in tin city. I love their cookies and now so do my kids. I lived in Cambria for years and now live in SLO, so we aren't tourists, I'm a local. My grandma lived in Cambria since the 40s. We paid a visit on Mother's Day and the guy behind the counter was a MAJOR grump!! Never smiled, never engaged in conversation, even when we tried, and was short, curt and just an all around bad attitude. I think maybe the original owners sold it? But whomever this is, he needs a lesson in customer service. I'm a life long fan, but after dealing with Mr Grump I don't know if we will be back anytime soon. The lady who was in there in the office was super nice, but he really needs to go!! read more

I'm not a local to Cambria but I would drive in from the Valley pretty often. I moved to TN in 2019 and came back to CA in 2023. I was so excited to take my partner here, but now it's on Main St and the vibes were 100% different. The guy in the front wasn't friendly (wasn't there another guy?) and the cookies didn't have the same taste... idk everything felt different. read more

Husband & I were walking around town and stopped in (the giant cookie hanging in the front caught my eyes). Husband & I sampled a few cookies and we picked the Chocolate Chip & Peanut Butter. They also have a nut free options (separate from the nut cookies). The cookies cost 2/$7.50, and definitely worth the splurge. The chocolate chip has oatmeal which makes the taste of the cookie so rich and delicious! The peanut butter cookies were moist and absolutely delicious! This cookie will be our must stop on our coastal vacation trips! Thank you! read more

Stopped into here to see what they were all about and they are so delightful. All the cookies are baked fresh daily. Most of what I saw were 2 per back at $7.50 and worth every penny. My husband and I bought snickerdoodle and peanut butter. The cookies are so thick and flavorful. The 2 ladies at the counter were very cheerful and a joy to talk to. read more

I've been coming here since they were at their old location in an old storage warehouse in an obscure part of town. I swear to gawd, they make the best cookies! The Cinnful cookies are to die for and simply amazing. I always grab about 10-15 packs of cookies for the trip to Monterrey and Big Sur. I try to make them last, but they always mysteriously disappear into my stomach! read more

The caramel fudge walnut brownies are absolutely mind blowing! I don't say that often about food or desserts, but if you're making something better than I can make it myself we have ourselves a very clear winner. We dined at Madeline's the evening prior to our visit and spotted the hanging chocolate chip cookie outside. We came back the next afternoon and wow! My bff doesn't like walnuts, and I don't mind them so I treated myself to the brownies (after reading about how scrumptious they are, I had to try them!) and I got him the nutless cookies 3 for $9. I had one of his cookies and they are so damn good too! I do wish they made a regular chocolate chip cookie without walnuts, and I'm kicking myself for not getting the chocolate chip cookie that's made with them since I like walnuts but I surely don't need all these treats. When we opened our cookies and started eating them I immediately mentioned this cookie place in a nearby city along the coast that swears up and down to have the best cookies (and they were in fact, the worse cookies we had ever had in life.) Red Moose blows them out of the water! I typically think of Cambria and Ollalieberry pie and jam at Lynns. What I'll say now, is there will be no way I can ever think of Cambria and not think of Red Moose. Ollalieberry pie and jam are of course a MUST but Red Moose is a serious M U S T. I'm not quite certain I've had a better cookie. I may.... have, and it was different but for a bake shop to not only nail cookies, but to nail brownies is noteworthy. I can't say I've ever had a better brownie, and I use to think I made pretty damn good brownies. Red Moose puts my sad little brownies to shame, they are otherworldly. If you love brownies, you HAVE to get a bag from Red Moose $9 for 3 and they are great size. I devoured my entire bag in one day. Can't wait to visit again, next time I'll know I need to buy several of everything for sweet treat gifts for a bunch of people. Whomever is baking this stuff REALLY REALLY knows their stuff, and I do NOT say this often. I actually really don't love going out to eat much because I can pretty much make everything better myself. I cannot currently make a brownie better than these. Not to be missed, unless you're allergic to chocolate or something... in which case I'd say I'd even dare risk just for a taste of their brownies. Outstanding. read more

Red Moose Cookie - Came back the next day when they were open, mind blown! A MUST visit. - Desserts Near Me - Cambria, California

Ohhhhhhhh yeah!!! Red Moose is now right in the heart of Cambria, on Main Street! So much easier to get to and what a cute little place they've made for themselves here! Automatically greeted by Chloe the Corgi, which is a win in my book. Not only is she friendly but the new owners and operators of this sweet sweet establishment are awesome as well! Same great cookies!! And now the Naughty Rods are right there in plain sight. Buy one for now and one (or many) to freeze for later... or gifts! They are unique sweet and salty decadences that everyone loves! My favorite cookies are still the Lemon Moose, however I have found a new, chewy, ooey, gooey favorite as well... the Nutty Buddy! Ok, you guys, I am not a nuts-in-my-cookies lover, but these are soooooo yummy!!! The caramel is so thick it strings as you come away with your bite. OMG, heaven! As I mentioned in my previous review, my mom likes to purchase the root beer float cookies and then take them home and sandwich them around vanilla ice cream making her own ice cream sammies. They freeze well, and are really unique treats! I bet any of them would be good as ice cream sandwiches, but the root beer float ones are sure fun and a great conversation starter, Red Moose encourages this behavior by the way. It seems as though there are more cookies in stock in the new location, but they still sell out so make sure you stop in early and get some! RIP to the Peppermint Patty Fudge Brownies, good God they were amazing. Bring them back soon, please! Samples are provided for many of the options. Browse around too, so many cute products to purchase, some fun canine gifts, shirts and mugs. The decor in here is really sweet (pun intended) and obviously a lot of care and love went in to making the storefront something special. Thank you for bringing the goodness into town! We love Red Moose!!! read more

$3.75 per cookie is a definite no for me. Very tasty but nothing that you couldn't make at home. Cambria local.

A must stop when visiting Cambria! This is a family run business, where they use high-quality ingredients in their products. They have the best root beer float cookies that actually taste like root beer. In the store, they offer samples of each of their products. We typically purchase a large amount, and then freeze them, so that we have them throughout the year. read more

Pains me to give three stars i've been a red moose die hard since the original owner was doing it out of a storage unit, the new owners are doing pretty ok , the original recipes still taste great. The real issue is two cookies per bag?? It used to be 5. Two cookies??? cmon cmonnnnn read more

I didn't know that cookies could be this wonderful. No regrets coming here; the wallet might disagree, however. Small cookies shop that opens at 10am and closes whenever they sell out. I knew I had to go at 10am on one of the days I'm down in Cambria. Just as I had suspected-- this would be what I'm bringing back home as gifts to my family. Upon entering the shop, we were greeted by a young lady at the counter. She had told us we were welcome to try the samples on the shelves in front of the cookies and brownies. The samples were in a container with a lid and small metal tong. We tried each different flavor without delay. At the end, I decided my favorite was the Old Fashioned Chocolate Cookie and the walnut brownie- so fudgy and creamy. The cookies are packaged in twos $7. And the brownies were packaged in threes $12. We got a couple of them to go. You really can't go wrong with any of their cookies or flavors there. I'm glad I went early and was able to try them all. read more

First off they have moved from that hard to find location in the industrial center to Main Street. They bake fresh daily since come early for best selection or order the day before if you have a large order. They do ship and in our case we order and freeze the cookie for year round enjoyment. Cookies average 3 per cookie and are sold in sets of 3. The cookies are unique and great flavor The new owner has kept to the original recipe If your in town make sure to stop by read more

The cookies are only one reason to stop in to Red Moose. So many delicious options made with all sorts of delicious ingredients. First timers will realize they didn't buy enough before the first cookie is even gone. I stopped in randomly over ten years ago and will be a lifelong customer. The wonderful people behind this business are second to none. Making the world a better place one cookie at a time. Thank you dearly Red Moose. read more

First greeted by a wonderful lady. Very minimal and clean store. Their selection is small, but all gourmet: cookies, brownies, brittle, etc. We bought the Pumpkin Moose Pie. It was the best pumpkin thing I've had, outside of my Mother's homemade Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Bread. Pumpkin, moist, sweet, yet savory, cookie/bread on the outside of a beautifully creamy sweet cream cheese frosting filling (maybe a hint of maple). Just wonderful. read more

Been enjoying these cookies for decades! Unfortunately, this time we returned home without stocking up for family and co-workers. Sadly, their 4 pack for $6 is now a 2 pack for $7.50. It's too bad it is getting so expensive to make these delicious cookies. read more

Really delicious cookies! I planned to get here 5-10 minutes before opening but we totally got lost. GPS kept telling us we arrived but it wasn't the correct aisle/building. After driving around in circles and almost giving up because it was already 10:10am we finally found it! And luckily there were still plenty of cookies in stock. I would've stood there longer to look through all of the options but as soon as I got there about 5 more people came in behind me. I ended up getting the snickerdoodle (one of my favorite types of cookies) and the root beer float. The snickerdoodle cookies were very soft and crumbly. The root beer float cookie was surprisingly really good. The flavor was spot on and I wish I bought more. I told my husband I could almost taste the fizz in the cookie. The owner was so nice as well. If you're in the area, I would recommend stopping by. Come at opening time otherwise they may sell out! read more

I just became victim to the mysterious Yelp review remover. This is actually my SECOND review that I've written because my first review was completely wiped out, eradicated, and gone forever without ever letting it be seen by the masses.... for reasons I'll never know, but I can assure you I'm furious that it was done.... all that for writing a glowing, 5-star review. Explain THAT to me. But I digress... Everything you've read about Red Moose is true.... starting with and ESPECIALLY regarding getting to this obscure store in the middle of an industrial park no later than 10:00 a.m. when it opens because he bakes in small batches, so those cookies will get bought and cleaned out in 15 minutes. No joke. I watched it happen in front of me, and I was even part of the mad dash to grab what I could. In fact, I grabbed the last bag available on 2 of the 8-10 cookie flavors, and we got there 5 minutes early. The thing is, 6 people came in 2-3 minutes later, and these were veterans... people who knew the "grab and go" drill. At this place, the early bird definitely catches the worm (or cookies). We bought the following: Cinnful Oh Joy! Nutless Wonder? Molasses Snickerdoodles Pumpkin Moose Pie Roger, the owner and baker, he knows his stuff !!! He can bake... and bake WELL. REALLY well. The cookies were soft, chewy, fresh, very tasty, and loaded with the best ingredients. My favorite was the Nutless Wonder (a chocolate chip cookie without nuts), followed by Cinnful (oatmeal, cinnamon chips, toffee pieces and walnuts), and the Snickerdoodles. I wasn't as much a fan of the molasses or pumpkin moose pie cookies, only because those were heavy on cloves, but that's just my preference for less cloves. It's a pretty strong spice to begin with. It's worth the challenge of getting there early (I'm not a morning person) because these are great cookies. There were a few items that I wanted to try that Roger hadn't baked on that particular day, so it will just be a reason to return in the future. Try these... you'll love 'em !! read more

Two cookies per package now?! Used to be four for the same price and they were larger before you moved. Been coming here for YEARS, no longer! Will no longer recommend either. read more

So many flavors...it's like Baskin Robbin's but better (I mean...I can eat cookies even when it's cold and raining but don't love ice cream then). Do note, your favorites can sell out but I consider this just a sign of FRESH and delicious! Plus, if you call ahead, they can tell you what's there and set them aside for you. You can even call and let them know what you would like the next day and get them fresh and sure to be in stock. I'll definitely be making a stop (maybe more than once) whenever I'm in town. read more

Great store! Love that they have samples-a bit pricey but worth it! Will go back again soon!

OMG so good. I got these cookies as a surprise treat. What a treat. The package was delivered to my door. My friend gifted me chocolate chip, cinnful and caramel walnut fudge brownie. They were all delicious. I haven't had a chance to go to Cambria yet and was planning to this Christmas for the lighting and market. I love how they packaged the cookies and brownie very carefully. My friend said their store smells like heaven. Can't wait to visit. read more

THIS PLACE. WOW. Okay finding Red Moose Cookie is a journey in itself. You have to go seeking out this place to find it through the backside of Cambria, but it is definitely worth the hunt. These cookies are legendary. Unlike anything I have tasted before! They are that mix of chewy and crunchy that will have you accidentally eating them all in one sitting. I also ordered the peppermint brownies and I am not a big chocolate girl myself, but hot dang! These brownies were so gooey in the middle like they were fresh out of the oven! Do not overlook these brownies!! Definitely worth it! I will warn you to arrive early at Red Moose Cookie. When they run out, they are done for the day. You do not want to miss out on some of the crowd favorites so make sure it is your first trip of the day in Cambria. read more

We had quite an adventure finding this adorable and fun little business. We started our trek from Robin's restaurant, our gps indicating it was steps away (we had seen their sign on the main drag). So, up the hill, along the "path", under a tree, past the ponies, and around a bend, we finally made it! . (We're Seniors, so consider our journey in that light.) So glad we did! Who wouldn't journey for cookies?? Oh my gosh. So worth it. Fun owner, Monica, gave us the brief history, stories behind some flavors, like Root Beer Cookies? And some sampling's too. We left with Cinnfull - yes! And returned the next day for 3 more bags for sweet little gifts (already getting rave reviews btw). Drive to find it - signs are like bread crumbs to the Gingerbread House. Masks required, small store, felt safe. Not to be missed! PS I bought one of their cute shirts too! read more
