    New flavor for fall ( skip)
    Chez T.

    I definitely like this location better then the original downstairs location. Everything is nicely organized and the workers are nice. This month's special is Butterscotch pecan and it's honestly the first cookie from cookie corner that' I didn't like. I would say skip it and stick to the originals. Located across from Starbucks next to the Macys food court, this location is a definite improvement.

    Ummm.  . No chocolate.  Felt cheated.  But still yummy so I am less mad than chagrined.

    Tucked away in a strange part of Ala Moana...near the big food court but not really...kinda under the escalators. But it's also easy to find because the smell of cookies baking is undeniable. The front side has a number of fresh baked cookies in a case. You can buy them all individually. Along the other side is boxed cookies. It's those boxed cookies that bring me back. Awesome shortbreads...but the best of all are the fruit bars (lime, lemon, and lilikoi ). This last visit we got a box of the fruit bars and what was supposed to be chocolate dipped shortbreads. Got home to discover no chocolate on the shortbreads. Kind of a bummer.

    Locally Made, Locally Owned! Keep your eye out for their coupon specials. Here is my story: Yelper Elite Jackie K sends me a coupon which discounts the cookies and the loose cookies for a week's period. During my last visit, I see a bag of cornflake cookies ($8.95 for about 8 cookies) and I wanted to learn if this cookie was any good as my favorite cornflake cookie is made by a competitor and competitor's price is much less, ( My vote? Cookie Corner ran a close 1st) This Ala Moana location is an open counter, and busy so be prepared to wait. Suggestion: the bag with 9 fruit bars make great gifts for your friends and family on the continent or abroad

    Chocolate dipped peanut butter seems to be a customer fave. It is for mah hubz!

    @fortunefoodfinds: "You BAKE me happy! A chocolate chip, pb, chocolate dipped pb, n' their limited edition Supa' Bambucha Cookies (Mauna Loa mac nuts, toasted coconut, chocolate chips, n' topped with a Mauna Loa mac nut candy) from THE COOKIE CORNER. Whichever flavor you choose, you've got nothing to lose!" Staff: fully staffed Interior: stand including side area with packaged goodies available for purchase Exterior: on 1st floor outside of the Makai Market Food Court Wait time: 5 mins Parking: garage Overall comments: you can smell them literally a corner away. I L.O.V.E. coming here for their chocolate chip cookies! Slight crunch on the exterior, soft in the middle, tasty chocolate chips, n' simply yuMmmy. My keikis go for the pb while da hubz has to have his chocolate dipped pb. Something for whole Ohana! On this particular visit I had an unusual encounter, the person who helped us seemed like they didn't want me to watch them bag my order n' I felt like they were staring me down. Also, it didn't help that a fly got into the window case. Bc of these reasons it made me even more want to make sure my cookies were properly bagged. Hoping this doesn't happen on my next visit!

    The sweet smell of cookies... Is found right here in Ala Moana Center Street level right beside the Centerstage and all you need to do is follow the scent of freshly baked cookies. The Cookie Corner has been at this location as far as I can remember keeping it as is while nothing much has changed other than the love that has grown for its cookies Nadine had made a stop which I can understand why as we were wondering if they had some Almond Cookies to celebrate the current Lunar New Year and they did! I spotted a bag on the top of their display case and oo I knew it was perfect to share though as I paid noticed that they did have it in their famous larger sized in their display case which is the perfect snack to graze as you browse around the mall. These fun treats does make it special without a total commitment and the the staff there are just amazing making sure to greet us all as there's always a crowd yet are take care of is amazing. I was thrilled as it was so difficult to find Chinese Almond Cookies during these time of the event and that it was a limited item special which took care of my craving that I never knew was there lol! Thank you!

    Dessert in Honolulu, Hawaii... Walking on the ground level of Ala Moana Center, near Center Stage, a wonderful fragrance captured my attention... it was The Cookie Corner I wanted to see if they still had the Limited Edition of the Chinese Almond Cookie - because Lunar New Year was yesterday (1.29.25). They did!!! Irene noticed that there were bags of Chinese Almond cookies on the top of the display case, as well as single, larger cookies in the display case. She reasoned that by buying just one cookie, it satisfies cravings and it's less of a "commitment" from a bag of cookies! She's so logical! Sold! There were two gals at the cash registers to take care of all of the customers! Wow... this open-air, takeout shop is busy! I enjoyed my Chinese Almond Cookie, but - of course, it's not as good as mom's Almond Cookies - because mom's is oily and crispy from the shortening. Well, my curiosity is cured! Thanks, Irene, for being so common sense! Notes: there are many other cookie options, as well as The Cookie of the Day special at $1.99 plus tax. - The prepackaged containers and boxes are great gifts! - The cookie bites (small cookies) are crunchy!

    Whenever in the main mall area I smell the baked treats before even seeing them. I automatically walk in the direction of the cookies to check out the offerings even though I already know what's in the case. My favorites are the s'mores and basic chocolate chip. I always end up buying both because it's double the treat. Staff are friendly and line moved quickly. The staff are nice and attentive which moves the line quickly. Definitely an any occasion type of treat and something to enjoy often.

    I love the Cookie Corner. Their different locations are all good at keeping to the recipe. I really appreciate the consistency. Some cookies are by weight while others are by cookie. My husband likes the SMOREs one, but I really enjoy their chocolate chip varieties or snickerdoodle ones. I feel that the cookies that are prepackaged are really bad compared to their freshly baked ones. The workers are usually very quick to serve but not overly friendly. This is fine since all I want is a cookie. Sometimes a fly gets into the case, which is gross, but most of the time it is okay.

    Chocolate chip walnut. I see no chocolate?!

    The chocolate chip walnut was wack. The chocolate brownie meh. Cookies could use some improvement. Didn't taste walnut either.

    I loooooove these cookies! Located by the center stage area of Ala Moana Center. My husband and I kept coming back to get more cookies from here because they were so good! I'm a very basic chocolate chip cookie (sometimes with nuts) kind of person, so I started with Oatmeal Chocolate Chip w/ Walnuts and omg I was in heaven, especially eating them while they were still warm! My husband loved the S'mores one and he ordered it multiple times as well. The service was good and the employees knew how to keep the line moving smoothly. Lots of gift sets on the left side too. I loved the cookies so much, I bought some to eat on the plane ride back home too!

Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

I think the meat changes but it's usually some slice of meat rather than a sausage or bacon and there's also cooked greens on there that are a little different. The croissant items I've had have all been really good. Today I tried the quiche and it was very good and had a really tasty croissant crust. The egg and ricotta in there was really creamy and custard like. Mushrooms were good but I wonder if this would be even better with Hamakua mushrooms? It would mesh well with their use of local ingredients. The one negative is that the $3.75 coffee was TINY. Granted if you eat there I think you can refill it but kind of a rip off if you're getting things to go. The meat is all pretty pricy but it's local stuff so that's cool. There's also some unique things that you probably can't find elsewhere. I was excited to see venison pastrami and venison liver mousse. Hoping to try some of that stuff soon!

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there.
