We ordered custom cookies from Mariko for our wedding, and they turned out absolutely perfect! From the very beginning, Mariko was so easy to work with. She was responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. We had a few specific ideas and color details in mind, and she executed our vision perfectly. The cookies themselves were not only beautifully decorated (truly little works of art!) but also delicious. Guests loved the taste of the buttery homemade cookies that were almost too pretty to eat. If you're looking for someone who can create cookies that are both picture-perfect and genuinely enjoyable to eat, I can't recommend Short Street Sweets enough. She made such a special touch for our big day and we're so grateful! read more

Mariko Nobori was a pleasure to work with, and she created some incredible cookies for a bachelorette party. She was so helpful as we discussed the designs based off of the theme of the party.

SHE PROPOSEDDDDDD!!! (see @mary m.'s review cuz she totally predicted that my review was coming..lol!) One of my besties proposed to her bridesmaids/bridal party using sugar cookies in her bridesmaid proposal box! Let's be completely honest, there is no better way to get proposed to then on something scrumptious. Especially when all your favorite people love sweets! When we were handed our ribbon tied boxes, we peeked inside and the first thing my eyes went to were the cookies! There were three total in the shape of a wedding dress, proposal plaque, and the future bride + groom's monogram!! They were so beautifully made and each cookie was so smooth...not to mention, the handwriting on these cookies are seriously impressive. I can't even write on paper this well, let alone IN ICING. Anyway, you eat with your eyes first..and they were almost too pretty to eat. But then, you know...I ate them. Super good, buttery, and not too sweet. I liked that they were fresh and def recommend not waiting to eat them cuz no one likes a tough cookie. lol! Amazing cookie, amazing proposal gift! Definitely recommended for a yummy gift that's sure to dazzle!! read more

From end to end, Mariko made a special request so seamless. Very quick response when inquiring about a special custom cookies for my sister in law's baby shower. Responded quick to any questions and direct with timeline, not to mention executing per timeline. When picking up the cookies, she went far beyond my expectations. Each cookie was made with so much love and attention. The cookies was such a great hit at the baby shower where there was none left over. Not only was the decoration impeccable but also the taste. Perfectly sweet, not too much or too little. I highly recommend Short Street Sweets if you want to plan something special. Thank you @Mariko!! read more

This review was long overdue.. I had it on my drafts and never finished it! Anyways, here it goes... If I can give Mariko 100 stars, I would. She was just wonderful, crazy talented, and very professional! I saw her AAAAMMMMAZING work while searching for some custom cookies for my godson's birthday but her schedule was booked! I was so glad I had the chance to put an order in for my sister's 21st birthday. I was very pleased with her work. I gave her a couple photos for inspiration but I allowed her creativity to run free and she delivered some beautiful cookies. Stellar customer service as well! She will communicate with you throughout the whole process. She doesn't say no if there's something you want and she cannot do.. She will give you a better alternative. No one wanted to eat or even touch the cookies because they were too pretty! P.S. Yes, the cookies tasted as good as it looks! I highly recommend her and cannot wait to order more! read more

Mariko is incredible at what she does, her cookies are true works of art. I was looking to make custom cookies for an Indian bachelorette party. While she's never made anything like that in the past, she was willing and enthusiastic to try and has truly outdone herself. I shared a few images of what I was looking for and a color scheme but the result was so much better than the examples. There is so much intricacy and care in every design, it's quite incredible. And the cookies taste great too, though if I could frame them I would. And on top of that Mariko is responsive and truly a pleasure to work with. Next time I'll try to order a cake :) THANK YOU!! read more

Short Street Sweets is first class! I hired Mariko to make cookies for my son and daughter-in-law's baby shower. I sent her some design ideas, including a picture of their fur baby.

My daughter-in-law was so impressed, she wants me to order a few dozen for her co-workers before she goes on maternity leave!! I would highly recommended Short Street Sweets!! read more

I'm so glad I found Short Street Sweets on Yelp! Mariko was super helpful and responsive when I contacted her about cookies for my bridesmaids proposal boxes. She sent me a couple of photos of wedding cookies she's done in the past, but none were to my liking. I sent Mariko sample photos of the style, colors and writing I wanted for the cookies and she was confident she could make it happen. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical since the colors and style of writing were a bit different from her previous works, but I took the chance because our email exchange was very pleasant. The day I picked up my order, I was blown away. The cookies looked exactly how I pictured! Mariko was kind enough to include extra cookies in a super cute tulle bag tied with a ribbon for me to try. They were so yummy! My fiancé who isn't too big on sweets enjoyed them as well. These cookies were worth it, for sure! I forgot to to take a photo of the cookies, but I promise they were beautiful! Maybe I'll ask one of my bridesmaids to review haha Sure, I could've ordered sugar cookies from Etsy, but it's so much easier to support a woman-owned, local business! read more

I worked with Mariko to create custom cookies for my bridesmaid boxes and she brought my vision to life! I sent over some pictures of what I was looking for and she was so patient with me as we worked through my ideas and offered great advice on what would really make the cookies pop.

I cannot say enough nice things about working with Mariko, if you're considering getting cookies made for a special occasion- DO IT! Mariko can bring whatever you're thinking of to life! read more

Loved the entire process from start to delicious finish! Mariko is super warm and responsive; she had great ideas when we discussed design options over email, and overall had great communication. She was also so nice to accommodate a fairly small order during the busy holidays, and I really appreciated that! We picked up the cookies and not only were the cookies a feast for the eyes, they smelled deliciously rich too. As in, family members smelled the box opening from several feet away and asked what was in there that smelled so good. Everyone was super impressed with the attention to detail, and of course the taste. You can tell how high quality the ingredients are-- the cookies are so buttery and tender. And I love to be able to support a local, woman-owned business. Thank you Mariko for making such a stunning addition to our party! I'll definitely be back. read more
