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

Red Moose Cookie - Desserts Near Me - Cambria, California

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

Family owned business. We usually get cookies down in Cayucos but I wanted to give them a try. Super friendly and you can try a lot of the cookies before making a decision on your purchases. And while we enjoyed them and really want to support the small business; we will probably spend our money elsewhere. read more

Absolutely one of our favorites. Lemon, snickerdoodles and molasses can't go wrong. Do yourself a favor, stop in grab a sweet snack you won't be disappointed unless you hate cookies read more

RedMoose cookie company in Cambria California has a wonderful and unique bakery. I've never tried anything I did not like. But I can guarantee you that the naughty rod is the best. The owners are wonderful, and our great asset to our community. read more

Still serving up some delicious sweet treats! I make it a point to stop by every time I can. This time I got the cinnful cookies (oatmeal cinnamon and toffe chunk) freaking amazing. My new favorite flavor. They also had peppermint brownies but I am not a fan of peppermint. My wife loved them though! You don't just get cookies, you get an experience. The owner is an incredibly nice gentlemen who has stories that go along with the cookies. Super sad to see him go but the new owners are going to be leaving everything the exact same! Can't wait to try his new restaurant. read more

Red Moose Cookie - Desserts Near Me - Cambria, California

Cute shop but the cookies were oily. We're so disappointed. Not sure the central coast has the same quality of cookies we have in the Bay or further north. read more

These cookies are the real deal. Instantly greeted upon entering and told there were samples of every cookie they had on the shelf and to have as many samples as I would like. Sweeeeet. As someone who doesn't particularly care for nuts in their sweet treats, I was pleasantly surprised that there were a few options that were nut-free. They were delicious as well! My most favorite cookie was the Orange Vanilla!!! OH MY GOODNESS. Dare I say best cookie I've ever had? Perfectly soft, chewy and a slight crisp to its edges. Prices equate to $3/cookie, but these are large, and shareable if you want. I didn't want to share- too good! Definitely stop by, get a sweet treat for now and later. read more

Omg these cookies are so decadent! We stopped by 10 minutes after opening and were fortunate to see there was still a nice selection of cookies left! We tried: Oh Joy! - almond, coconut, and chocolate. This was my husband's favorite cookie and I like that it's not as sweet. Cinnful - my favorite cookie! Oatmeal, toffee, walnuts, cinnamon. What more could you ask for?! Caramel walnut fudge brownie - moist, melt-in-your mouth goodness of fudge and walnuts with caramel pieces! Would be perfect served hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! $6 for 4 cookies and $6 for 3 brownies. Currently cash/check only since card machine was down. We polished 2 bags in one sitting and plan to return tomorrow for more! read more

The adventure of finding this hidden gem in the early morning (we arrived 20 minutes before opening) and meeting the wonderful owner, Roger, was pure delight. This bakery is definitely a labor of love (and butter). We really lucked out because it was one of those rare mornings where there wasn't a line of people outside. That meant having a nice talk story session with Roger. I'd come back just to support this awesome person. Real talk: everything here is reasonably priced ($6 for 4 large cookies; $6 for 3 brownies) Plus, depending on when you get there, you can smell brownies wafting in the air. The caramel walnut fudge brownie is richly delightful. Super moist and accented with rolos! I'd get this again. I am not a peanut butter person, but I do love their peanut butter cookie. Deliciously crumbly, this is a peanut butter lover's fantasy:) Note: this cookie is packed with peanut butter cups Seriously, everything we bought was delicious. If you're willing to get up early and take your chances with a line out the door, you might luck out like we did and get first dibs on the good stuff. read more

Such a friendly owner, samples galore, and amazing cookies and treats! Highly recommend stopping by and stocking up on some goodies here!

I drove about an hour and a half to try these cookies and brownies. The cookies are good but the brownies are delicious. read more

Red Moose Cookie - Cambria - Desserts Near Me - Cambria, California

Your cookies and the moose stick were always loved by my family & I. When we visited your store yesterday, it was sad to see that your new prices are 2 cookies for $9, 3 small brownies for $12, and the pretzel stick is now $15. The stock level was very low and no customers. The one thing that was nice was the cashier, she was sweet. read more

If you want amazing cookies that taste so home made and make you feel like you ate them in your grandmother's kitchen, COME HERE. Warning: this place is so popular that I came the day before at 3pm and they were closed because they sold out. So the closing hours are not as late as you think. Came 10 min before they opened and there were already 3 people in line before me. They were raving about how they have been coming here for decades and that this place is the absolute best. Due to COVID only a max of 4 people were allowed in at a time. And the owner even had a rope attached to the door so he would pull it open for you so there is no touching knobs or anything! (thought that was super innovative and smart) Once inside we were lined up in front of the shelf that had different baskets of every different type of cookie, each had a name and description of what's inside. I ended up getting way more than I anticipated but it's still not enough. All cookies came in packs of 4 and brownie in a pack of 3 and were all $6 each. I got Cinnful, Nutless Wonder, Peanut Butter Dream, Orange Vanilla, and Caramel Walnut Fudge Brownie. They're all amazing!! Absolute loved the cookies, they're not oily and they're thin and large. Great texture and taste to all! read more

Red Moose Cookie - Cinnful, 51/49, nutless wonder, peanut butter dream, brownie - Desserts Near Me - Cambria, California

Never open and almost never anything in stock. I wonder how they stay in business. They make barely any cookies now and expect them to last the week. They used to be in Tin City behind the Hardware store and always had tons of cookies. Now they barely have anything and are always empty. Nobody ever in there so I don't think they are selling out they just don't seem to be able to get the job done. Anyways sad because they used to be really good. Now it's not worth the time going over there they'll probably be either closed or have nothing on the shelves. read more

Location is odd, but the cookies are great. For whatever reason there are a lot of cookie places in the general area (Brown Butter Cookie Company and Just Baked to name a few) but I think Red Moose really stands out with their great flavors. To buy their cookies you'll need to start early in your day because when they're sold out they are done for the day. Finding the place is also an interesting challenge as it's located in a hidden industrial park in Cambria. - Their cookies are wrapped to go and make great gifts. - My Favorites are the Cinnful and the lemon cookie. - Root beer float anyone? - No working website, facebook, or phone number. read more

Red Moose Cookie - Desserts Near Me - Cambria, California

What in the world is a "Naught Rod"?! Only the best of two of my favorite worlds . . . sweet & salty! It's a pretzel rod, rolled in a sheet of the most wonderful caramel that's not crazy sweet, then rolled in nuts, topped with milk chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate. I eat it by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. If my husband had his way, he'd eat it straight from the bag, no cutting. The actual reason for this review is the customer service! I live in Hawaii and we stumbled upon this place on a recent trip to Cali. When I got home, after having a taste of this delicious concoction, I decided to order a bunch and have them ship it to me. Normally, when I ask for things to be shipped to Hawaii, and it's not from a national chain, I get charged an outrageous price for shipping, unless flat-rate boxes are used, which smaller companies NEVER do. I received a call from Red Moose, I think it was George, forgive me if that's incorrect. He gave me my total and I was shocked! The shipping was $44.90 for 2 boxes. Excuse me, did I hear that correctly? 2 boxes to Hawaii for $44.90? The price of shipping is usually more than the price of the merchandise. Well, Red Moose Cookie Company used flat-rate boxes to ship to Hawaii and I can't thank you enough. Besides the rods themselves, this was the best Christmas surprise! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Oh, and my husband said to mention the peanut butter cookies. He loved them!!! Red Moose Cookie Company, we'll be ordering more items soon. Oh yeah, the "Naught Rods" are a year round item. Yay!!! Happy New Year's everyone!!! read more

Red Moose Cookie - Cinnful is my fave!! - Desserts Near Me - Cambria, California

Nice variety! The cookies are amazing! If you go to Cambria stop in the people are friendly.

The cookies are absolutely delicious and the staff are welcoming and kind! You may have to arrive early to get some cookies before they sell out, because they're baked fresh, but that just shows how much people love them. read more

We've been coming to Red Moose for a long time. We went there for years when they were at the industrial park location. Still loyal customers, but my only piece of feedback to the new ownership is that you've slowly lowered the number of cookies per pack (down to two). I think for the ultra-premium cookies, that makes sense, but for the regular ones, I think three seems like a good value for what you're charging. Still planning on supporting - but would be great if you could provide better value to your customers. read more

The original chef/co-owner passed, but the new owners stayed true to the recipes mostly. The brownies and cookies are excellent. We have bought items there over about a 20 year period and have enjoyed them much every time. The new owners are friendly and the store is better organized. read more

This place is OFF the beaten path and worth the journey. We got the molasses cookies and the Nutless Wonder - 5 stars for each! Cookies come prepackaged, four cookies to a bag. They're big and it's a $6.00 commitment, but go for it! I also like that they have ingredients you can pronounce. Bonus points! Don't miss this spot. read more

The hunt to find them is part of the experience - if you are directionally challenged like me - the first few times it can be a bit frustrating- but the cookies are so worth it! There are many fun signs helping guide the way - drive slow and keep alert. I suggest calling ahead because they can sell out (although i have yet to experience that heartbreak) My favorites are the Lemon Moose and 51/49 cookies... but seriously - their brownies are also absolutely incredible. Highly recommend- theyre worth the drive and the hunt! I went today for the first time in months and they are under new ownership - but the goods are still just as tasty! read more

I got the chocolate Walnut brownie and the Cinnful oatmeal cookie. Both of them might be the best brownie and cookie I have ever had in my life. Absolutely amazing fresh soft dessert. If you're ever in Cambria and you like desserts you have to go to this place. Don't go to all the touristy places that are trying to sell you a piece of garbage for $10 when you can get two of these big cookies for $750 and three of the brownies for $12.50. you'll thank me later! read more

We followed the signs from in town and found the most delicious cookies and brownies. We have been to Cambria before but this was the first time we made it to Red Moose. The cookies are delicious, soft and full of chocolate. The brownies were as delicious, soft and full of flavor. They were so tasty we came back the next day to take some for our family. They also loved the their cookies and brownies. I recommend you follow the signs and stock up on both the cookies and brownies! We will be back. read more

These are the best cookies you will ever taste . The brownies are even better than you could imagine. Highly recommended

My one regret is not buying more cookies. The cinnful cookies were sooooo delicious! Based on other Yelp reviews, I was worried that there wouldn't be any cookies left at noon, the earliest I could get there. However, I called ahead and the owner very nicely informed me that they had lots of cookies- and they were still making more. Phew, so if you can't make it at opening, it's fine. Hope to be back again soon. read more

The store was great. To the point and easy to find those flavors/food restrictions that impact you. The staff was amazing. Besides knowing everything about all their products she was super friendly and fun to talk to. They had samples of their cookies, which was important for the Root Beer cookie because it sounds interesting but you needed to taste it to realize that it is Awesome. All the cookies were great but if I had to pick it would be the Nutless Wonder. In the non-cookie realm the brownies were great. Stop here if you are going through Cambria!! read more

Cookies that sometimes sell out in just minutes! They open at 10am. There was a line each day we came before 10am and they sold out each day in less than 20 mins!!! Do these cookies come with orgasms? Are they laced with heroin? What's happening here and why are so many folks in line before the store even opens? What makes this place just a tad more interesting is that it's also located in a storage unit so don't be surprised when you pull up and assume you're in the wrong place. Everything here is made from scratch. Per them, the reason these cookies are so good is because they're made with love and butter. We tried most of them, the caramel walnut fudge brownies, peppermint pattie fudge brownies, lemon sugar cookie, old fashioned chocolate chip, root beer float cookie (yep! that's what I said), peanut butter dream, and of course the famous naughty rod which is an 8 inch (but who's counting???) pretzel rod dipped in creamy caramel, rolled in roasted, salted nuts, and finished with an amaretto chocolate and white chocolate drizzle! Why does this description turn me on?!?!?!? These treats are amazing. They are made fresh everyday so you're really getting something extra special and it's all handmade. Worth getting in line early for? Typically I would say that nothing is worth getting in line early for but I'll make an exception for these treats. Yep! I said it! read more

We absolutely LOVE Red Moose! The treats are absolutely scrumptious--taste homemade--and the story behind the shop makes it a must-stop every time we are in the Cambria area. read more

These cookies are amazing. If you enjoy big, soft cookies this is where you need to go. On my last visit I got the Peanut Butter Dream, the Orange flavored ones, and the Lemon flavored ones. All delicious! Just a little bummed they were out/didn't have any chocolate chip cookies without nuts. But hey, I certainly didn't need to buy even more cookies. read more

Absolute gem of a business. If you are in the area you MUST stop by and support this small business that makes a fantastic product. Upon entering the owner was extremely friendly, greeting me and giving a run down of the products. Awesome to see someone that really takes pride in what they do. After receiving the owners advice I picked my cookies and went to pay. Unfortunately at the time I visited they were only accepting cash. Reminder to millennials always carry some cash on you just in case. I only had $5.50 on me so I left to find an ATM but realized it wasn't feasible on a time crunch so I went back and asked if there was anything I could buy for $5.50. The owner graciously agreed to just sell the cookies for what I had on me and unexpectedly the gentleman behind me went ahead and tipped the amount that was short. I was very thankful for that and it gave me a positive lasting impression not only of the owner but the customers that frequent the business. They also had a cool discussion about punk rock music that I wish I had more time to partake in. Thanks again for the delicious cookies! I grabbed one pack of the orange vanilla beans and promptly devoured them. Definitely excited to try the other varieties in the future. Next time I'll be sure to have my cash ready and on hand. read more

Excellent cookies ! must have if you are visiting Cambria California . Heard about them from a friend and cookies did not disappoint!

A delicious and FUN cookie-buying experience! From the "automatic door" to the witty banter from the owner, we had a delightful time in Red Moose. Then we tasted the cookies...WOW. Moist and flavorful, and this was still the case a few days later (hey, we bought quite a few cookies). As others have said, show up early and with cash, though they do have an ATM, as well. Most importantly, show up early! We were there about 10 minutes after opening and manned the last package of chocolate chip cookies and this was a weekday. You've been warned. read more

It's hard for me to give five stars on anything because there's always room for improvement. But... I have to say that these cookies are amazing! After spending some time up in Cambria with my sister, relaxing and enjoying our time, we walk to town and went into the Red Moose Cookie store. I taste tested everyone that they had out on the shelves and ended up buying almost one bag of everything. There's snickerdoodle, orange and vanilla, (very heavenly) and their oatmeal and raisin is what I purchased. I did try their chocolate chip and their peanut butter, but I had already ate a peanut butter cookie from another establishment. These cookies are so good I would definitely weigh 300 pounds if I lived close by cause I would be there every day eating cookies. It's a definite place I will visit every time I'm in Cambria and if I can have them shipped to my home I will. read more

Excellent place to shop for cookies...lots of varieties...with and without nuts, vegan...we like the brownies--plain and peppermint (not a strong taste or afterbite). Mine is Nutty Buddy.. read more

The cinna-fil were the best out of all the cookies we had. I would drive all the way back to cambria for them. Next fave was the Lemon cookie. I wish they had a peanut butter chocolate chip one. read more

OMG. Another great small local family business. They make a variety of cookies and sell out every day. Get there early and if they have them, get a Naughty Rod ( pretzel stick wrapped in thick caramel and nits with chocolate on top). read more
