Absolutely beautiful cookies and they taste as good as they look. I had a last minute cookie order and they were done to perfection. I ordered 10 'paint your cookie' for my son's classmates for holidays. I can't express how impressive my cookies and the entire purchase experience was. Highly recommend this store! This is going to be my go to cookie place going forward.

Zenaida was so helpful and took on a very last minute custom cookie order for me for my friends 30th birthday party! She was very prompt and responded to my emails and texts very quickly, from my initial inquiry until pickup. I had started to reach out to other people who do custom cookies locally 3-4 weeks in advance (as most of their websites say that is the minimum requirement) and either didn't get a response or they were booked months in advance, which was partially my fault because I forgot about Christmas cookie orders. I made one last ditch effort a week and a half before the party to try to find someone and The Chocolate Dozen was the only one to get back to me! For a reasonable rush fee I was able to get the cookies ordered by the next day and Zenaida was able to finish 18 custom cookies within a week. She sent me a photo of them once completed and it was exactly what I wanted and very close to my inspo photo! They were a highlight and hit at the party too, everyone loved them and it really made the night more special and tied in with the theme perfectly! Those that ate them at the party (instead of taking them home) said they tasted great as well. Extremely happy with how they turned out and would absolutely order from Zenaida and The Chocolate Dozen again!

Utterly amazing cookies and great service. I had ordered one week off but they were able to get this in last minute on mother's day weekend nonetheless. Can't wait to treat ourselves to some more.

I got a cute decorate your own cookie kit from here and although it was cute the cookies were pretty average tasting. Standard Cookie with unflavored Frosting that did look good, just didn't leave much of an impression otherwise. They do also offer a number of other items that are aesthetically pleasing based off of their social media pictures so I'll make point of trying something a little more adventurous in the future. read more

The custom cookies we ordered were the highlight and best part of my son's first birthday! Couldn't be happier or more grateful for The Chocolate Dozen. They did NOT disappoint! I wanted to make sure we found a vendor that could make our cookies aesthetically pleasing and as close to my vision as possible, while also tasting good and the previous reviews on taste were spot on. I hate the stress that comes with party planning but I also can't wait to find another reason to order more amazing and beautiful cookies from here! read more

Thank you to Zenaida and The Chocolate Dozen for another amazing delivery of cookies (almost) too cute to eat. The Elf cookies were a hit at our party, bringing smiles to everyone who saw them...before they disappeared! Kids really enjoyed decorating their own sugar cookies, which was a great activity for them. It was a great experience from ordering to delivery to eating the delicious, beautiful cookies.

The Chocolate Dozen. If you don't know... once you bite into any of their sweet treats, YOU WILL! Trust me, there are so many delicious varieties to choose from you will not want to just try one or two kinds of treats. Take for example... the salted caramel fig & chocolate chip cookie!!! Yes!!! Finally, an ultimate powerhouse of a cookie!!! The flavor combination is quite exquisite in that the salted caramel compliments and elevates the fantastic flavors of the fig and of course chocolate chips. But the real stars in the this cookie? ...the figs! Like I said earlier, trust me... you go in "intending" to order just a dozen of what the Chocolate Dozen has to offer, but come out having placed and order for more than that. read more

I can not describe how talented Zenaida is. Her designs and level of creativity are just astounding. Each item I have received from The Chocolate Dozen has been so meticulously decorated it makes me hesitate whether or not I want to actually ruin it by talking a bite. Ohhh but please do take a bite because if you think the design is amazing... wait until you taste these delicious treats... just incredible. On top of these amazing designs and flavorful goodies, The Chocolate Dozen is backed by amazing customer service that is prompt, reliable and they truly care about the quality of their product. I would recommend this company for any type of baked good item you are looking for. If you want a baked good that has impeccable presentation but doesn't compromise flavor, you cannot go wrong with The Chocolate Dozen. read more

Hands down the best cookies in the tri valley area!! We ordered these for our upcoming wedding as the favors. Prior to finding The Chocolate Dozen we sampled cookies from various vendors around the area and were underwhelmed. I knew we found the ones when I tasted The Chocolate Dozen's shortbread and chocolate cookies. They are moist, flavorful and so so yummy. I will definitely be buying cookies again. read more

By far my favorite desserts are the chocolate raspberry ganache and pumpkin chocolate chip toffee cookies! You can not stop at just eating one! The detail placed on each cookie or dessert tells you there is so much love and care. Every time I see a box with the sticker "The Chocolate Dozen", I know I'm in for something delicious. Zenaida ( owner and baker) is so creative and tries to create a new dessert. I love how she has a dessert for each holiday. Try them all! read more

I have been a customer of The Chocolate Dozen since January 2020 and they continue to please my palate! Whether you have a chocolate craving with the perfect chewy / crunchy texture (hello Toffee Bars!) or craving a mouth watering, sweet /tart, buttery goodness treat, the shortbread cookies with calamansi cream is perfect. I love that they don't use any preservatives. Every bite is bursting with home made flavor. I have gifted the design your own cookie sets and they have been especially popular with kids - you can't go wrong. I highly recommend The Chocolate Dozen for that special occasion or "just because YOU deserve it" read more

The cooks in the kitchen are truly talented. Veggies were crisp tender. Sauces had some heat but not so much they burn out your tastebuds. Front of the house was just as awesome. The server was attentive and friendly but not obsequious. He anticipated every need and checked in multiple times throughout the meal. If forced to nitpick, a few minor suggestions. The chips, were fresh but not greasy but a little over salted. Also, the atmosphere, while festive, was a little dark. Change the walls from a dark burnt red to a more sunny orange. And maybe down the road replace the totally opaque outdoor patio blinds to slightly more sheer blinds. Oh, and bring back the sweet plantains. But these are minor. Tasty food is the driving factor. Am now obsessed. Will definitely return sooner rather than later to check out the rest of the revamped menu.

Un Taco Mas is on one end of a large plaza near the freeway, super convenient for a quick meal. I…read moredidn't know what to expect from their tacos, but the tortilla was lightly fried! Really liked the crispy crunch with their generous meat portion. I got the carnitas ($4) and just one was pretty filling! Loved the variety of sauces they offered as well. Plenty of parking available, seating options inside and outside, not super crowded. An employee was manning the register alone but was super nice and accommodating. I will be back to try their fish taco!

Although a workplace cafe, this is also open to non-working customers. Drinks were great - we ordered a Madeline latte and a coconut matcha with strawberry drizzle. Both drinks are a little bit on the sweet side (which we like), so be sure to request less sweet if you don't like your coffee too sweet. Sandwiches were ordered were also delicious and we're looking forward to trying other food next time. There are plenty of tables and seating with plugs which is a plus.

I went on a Monday around 10:45a and had plenty of parking, lots of seating and quick service. I ordered the Banana Bread Latte, which was something I never had before. It was on their seasonal menu. A little heavy on the cinnamon, but honestly very good. Had real bits of banana in it too. I would definitely get it again, if available. My daughter got a berry matcha, also on the seasonal menu. She said it was fine, a little too light in color. Reminded her of the Starbucks berry matcha. I'm not a matcha guy, so I'm going off what she says. But she did enjoy it. The baristas were nice and they were very efficient. Only 2 on staff when we went, but it wasn't super busy at the time. Lots of indoor seating, high counter tables with power ports if you need to work. Plush chairs to work or relax in. But the real draw is outside. Once you look out the large windowed back wall, you see a lovely view of a lake. There are lots of chairs and tables, along with a dock with more chairs and tables. The views are great and it's crazy to think it's nestled inside a business park. There is a waiver to sign if you want to take the boat ride, there are also some rowboats out there. The ride last about 12min and was very pleasant and fun. My daughters enjoyed themselves and we just relaxed and took in the sights. If you want to sit out and relax, there is the dock with great seating. Also various spots around the lake have lounge chairs or other seating. There is a market with 3 different eateries inside. So you can grab a meal after having your coffee, boat ride and walking the grounds.

I had a terrible experience with this place. I tried to place an order with them and the lady was so rude first of all she would not give me the quote when i Just asked her for a quote for 2 different types of cookies she stated she is is not going to give me a quote for everything out there - don't you think you should be giving someone a quote if they ask for one for at least two items before placing an order. I don't think this is good customer service. read more

Just horrible taste I was expecting these to be really good - it just seems like they are overpriced and don't taste as well as they should. I have tried other cookies in the area and those were way better. This one was just terrible it cookies tasted like they were stale. Not going to you again1! read more

She's made beautifully detailed themed royal icing cookies for me on several occasions, and they always come out absolutely perfect -- not just visually, but they taste great too.

On top of that, she created a custom birthday cake for me based on inspiration photos I sent, and once again, she nailed it. Everything I've ever ordered has turned out exactly as I envisioned (if not better). Katelyn is incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She's gone above and beyond to accommodate requests, including helping me out with last-minute orders, and she's even delivered to me, which I truly appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. If you're looking for someone who is talented, reliable, creative, and a joy to work with, I highly recommend Katelyn.

It did take some effort (several emails and voice mails). A couple of weeks before the wedding, I wanted to know where/when the flowers from the florist should get delivered so that she can put them on the cake. When I didn't hear back from Negar, I contacted my florist and she responded immediately that I don't need to worry. Negar delivers the cake to the venue, and the flowers are added there. Phew! So my only negative comment is that communications is not great, but persevere because the cake will be worth it! On the day of the wedding, seeing that beautiful cake on the table, it was just what we had imagined. We got great advice from Negar that we should order only enough cake for about 75% of your guests, and sure enough, that was plenty. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it tasted just as good. It was so moist, and you can really tastes the strawberry flavor in the filling. It was just as we remembered from the tasting. We had so many compliments on the cake. So don't give up if you can't reach Negar. She does everything herself, and is a totally sweet person to work with. The cake will be worth it.
