    Arrived midweek just after 1pm and they still had a few day old boxes left - got one w/ choc chip, snickerdoodles and dark cherry. Such a deal. Solid flavors with soft buttery-like insides. Also ordered a fresh half dozen of 2 different choc oatmeal, an M&M, a white choc cranberry,and 2 chocolate chip - heaven in 2 boxes for the next day. No regrets!

    7/26/26 Cookie of the Month: Strawberry Shortcake

    My preferred cookie spot in the area. What I love most is the texture: they manage to get them perfectly thin while keeping the middle soft, with just that slight crispy crunch around the edges. Plus, they aren't overly sweet at all, and you don't get that dense, raw flour or heavy baking powder taste that so many other bakeries have. The shop itself is always spotless, and the staff is genuinely friendly every single time I walk in. I also love that they serve ice cream, which makes for an awesome treat. We always go late so it's never busy to get an ambiance. Their seasonal "Cookies of the Month" are so much fun to try. July's cookie of the month...the Strawberry Shortcake! It had bits of real strawberry baked inside, smooth strawberry crème on top, and diced fresh strawberries to finish it off. Absolutely delish. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Yorba Linda!

    I was looking to order custom decorated cookies within a week's time and The Cookie Element was able to pull through on short notice! Their service and response time was timely, friendly and I really appreciated their prompt follow up in regards to my order. I ordered a dozen cookies in two designs and each design had a minimum order of 6 cookies. You provide the photo of what you would like your cookies to look like, and The Cookie Element tries their best to make your order as close as possible to the supplied image. While the process of ordering the cookies was friendly and straightforward, I was slightly disappointed with the overall look of the cookies. I had ordered Minnie Mouse cookies as well as a numerical 6 cookie and both didn't quite meet my expectations of what I was looking for. The cookie design still looked very nice and was beautiful overall, but the face of the Minnie Mouse cookie felt very flat and one tone as they used a single peach color for the face, and then used an edible black marker to draw the details of the face. In the photo I provided, Minnie's eyes were white and her mouth was a light pink color, but the same peach-ish color was used for both the eyes and mouth so the cookies didn't have as much depth as I had hoped for. As for the number "6" cookie, they did not cut a hole in the middle of the number, and instead used white icing, which in my opinion, gave the cookies an unfinished look as I initially thought they put white parchment paper on the cookie when I first picked up my order. Nonetheless, the design of the cookies was still spot on to the "inspo" photo I had provided, and I was very pleased with how they were able to replicate the design of what I was looking for (besides the coloring being off). If you're looking to order custom cookies, I would recommend to discuss and specify any details you may be looking for in advance to see if they can accommodate, instead of just providing an inspo pic and hoping it will meet your expectations. I only ordered the custom sugar cookies so I didn't get a chance to try any of the cookies on display in their store front, but everything looked delicious and I thought the periodic table cookie theme was a cute touch!

    Amazing service and very nice staff. I was able to get custom sugar cookies and they were able to follow my reference picture perfectly. They also tasted amazing and loved it. The establishment was very clean and nice. FYI this was for my friend who graduated and vecame an EMT

    The Cookie Element:  Decorating classes!!!

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! My friend asked if I wanted to go to a Halloween cookie decorating class with her. HECK YES!! Anything to be festive, I say. I'd never been (or even heard of) The Cookie Element, but I sure do know about them now and LOVE them! We pulled up and saw all the cookies in the store part of the place, so many to choose from and so unique and tempting. I purchased 2 Vanilla Bean Sugar and 2 Brown ButterToffee. They were so very fresh and perfect! They literally put Crumbl to shame. I'd choose The Cookie Element over Crumbl any day. The flavors!!! Whoa! They have seasonal flavors, S'mores, Blueberry White Chocolate, Hawaiian, Ice Cream Sandwiches (different flavors of ice cream), Dark Chocolate Cherry, Whopper Malt Ball Chocolate Chip, and those meringue cookies, oh my goooodness! There are standard flavors of cookies as well; Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter, etc. Seems some of the unique flavors change out every so often. They even make custom cookies! There are also bags of "day old" cookies by the cash register, they do not taste day old AT ALL, they are still so fresh and delicious... and heavily discounted. Ok, so I got distracted by the cookies. I'm here to really tell you about the cookie decorating class. It was everything I'd hoped it would be. We learned how to make those fancily decorated cookies to impress all our friends. The instructor was very in-depth and patient. They offer Parent and Me classes, and seasonal too. Check out their website for dates, many to choose from. I will definitely be back for one of those again, no doubt. The class was kinda pricey at $60/person, but you get all the knowledge and necessities to make beautiful cookies! Plus you get to take them home in a bakery box. Look at me all fancy with my cookies. So exciting. The class took about 2 hours and we had everything we needed plus a light meal and beverages, plus a Cookie Element dessert bar! I'm a huge fan!! Excited for another class and, as always, excited to keep going back for more yummy cookies. Check them out! Order! Stop in! Whatever you need to do, you MUST try them and try them often... they need to be in business forever.

    I ordered custom cookies here a couple years ago & was disappointed as I didn't get the amount I was expecting & the person I spoke with was very rude & told me "too bad that's what I asked for." I should have asked for a detailed invoice versus a phone conversation order. Despite that happening, I decided to give another try & came back a few weeks ago & was very happy. I ordered custom 1st Birthday cookies & they turned out just how I envisioned. This time I asked for a very specific detail & explanation on my order which was great. It was much better this time because I believe the owner was involved compared to last time. Thy always have varying themes for holidays which is fun. I would definitely return.

    Love Love LOVE! I ordered custom cookies for my daughter's baby shower with a Silly Goose theme. I sent an inspo pic and wow did they run with it. We spoke to confirm colors and they did an amazing job. Couldn't have been happier. Everyone I spoke to was helpful and pleasant and the turnaround was quick! Beautiful work.

    Cookies came out so great!
    Sarah D.

    We were so happy how our adoption day cookies came out! Their website was easy to navigate to order our cookies. I received a follow-up call to go over the details after they received my order. I provided examples of what I wanted the cookies to look like and they came out exactly how I had hoped for. The cookies added so much to our special day as we shared them with our friends and family. When I arrived to pick the cookies up, they were ready to go and beautifully packaged. Everyone that I interacted with was so kind. I will definitely come back for their services again!

    Best cookies in town! They are perfectly cooked and are so good. There's a chocalote chip in each bite which makes it perfect.

    Hello, We don’t have any animal… 

    Anyone know if these cookies are made with real butter?

    For the recipes that require butter, we use real butter.

    Can I walk in and buy an iced cookie or must I place a special order such as 3 dozen baby shower themed cookies? I just want to walk in and buy like 3.

    Do they have any vegan cookies available :)?

    Hello and thank you for your inquiry. We do not offer vegan cookies at this time.

    Is there airy free ice cream as an option?

    Last time I visited here they did still offer half price cookies that were a day old.

Everywhere I looked was so pretty, I couldn't decide where to sit at our reserved table for a party of 5. We dressed up for the occasion. My daughter ordered beautiful hats for us ladies. My grandson wore a fedora and his sister had a pink bow band in her hair which matched the lovely mauve pink velvet on the chairs. The service? Wow! Friendly, elegant, helpful at suggestions. A 10 out of 5. Layla and Billy were our star butlers for the afternoon. Layla suggested a peppermint tea for the children, for example. (Ages 10 and 11) And now about the tea. Each chose their special drink from about 50 types of tea, including herbal and chai. Served in antique looking ceramic tea pots, each a different one! My choice was Strawberry Shortcake tea, a gentile berry taste. There were pink heart shape sugar cubes in tiny bowls with tiny gold ones to serve one lump or too. Honey and sweetener are available too. Everyone had their table set with individual china cups and matching saucer, plus treats plate. Gold serviceware wrapped in pink napkins. Flowers on the wall and at the tables. This is the best party I've ever had! Now about the food. Excellent. Elegantly presented on three-tiered china plate serving trays. Delicious tea sandwiches - cut in dainty triangles - and my favorite - cucumber sandwich! Don't forget about the delectable traditional tea sweets, pretty and perfectly prepared. Miniature cookies, scones, plus bites of cheesecake, blueberry crumble, brownie, and more. There is pink cream cheese , preserves, and "clotted' cream too. Party all inclusive packages are about $45 per person - BUT- there are individual items too, reasonably priced for an afternoon with a friend. I've been to other tea houses but this takes the birthday cake! A dream come true. Thank you!

Even though each store has a strengths, I feel like overall Bristol Farms is the better of the two. This is speaking as millennial and maybe Bristol Farms serves a more immature crowd. Hopefully it stays that way. They have everyday products and they have very niche products. Literally something for everyone their bakery is delicious and of course they have their classic big cookies that are served warm. I haven't had anything from the juice/coffee bar yet, but I will next, however the poke bar and the hot bar, never disappoints and that is why I'm writing this review finally. Today I had a flounder piccata mashed potatoes, perfectly roasted vegetables, and pasta Bolognese with huge chunks of beef. Everything was delicious. The flounder even remained crunchy two hours after leaving the store they don't have the variety in the hot bar that Whole Foods has, however, the quality is far superior, and the flavor is in the upper echelon compared to Whole Foods. These are consistent findings within the self-service food area even within the deli carving station. Sometimes they have turkey briskets. I believe I've even purchased prime rib there and the quality and flavor is always on point consistently the presentation of all of their items never fails either also, every time I go to Bristol Farms you're always greeted with a smile. The staff is really nice and in general they look like they're happy to be there which makes the shopping experience that much better.
