What a fun little dive cookie spot! Firstly, so cute! Second, the price point and selection is on point. I'd totally return! Service was fine, not much service to give at a tiny adorable cookie spot but the lady behind the counter was kind. The kids loved the cookies and the texture. We'd definitely return! Give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

I can't walk by without wanting a cookie. I was really into the walnut chocolate chip, and a pastry chef was like "Have you tried the banana one??!". Now that I have tried it, I am team banana cookie. It has chocolate chips, walnuts, and the softness of the partially cooked banana is just perfect. read more

I wasn't even remotely in the market for dessert but then I walked by and the Cookie Odyssey sign basically said, "Hey you. Yeah, you." I told myself I'd just browse... and then they offered me a sample. Game over! These cookies strike that elite balance of chewy on the inside with just a little crust on the outside. I was instantly sold. Huge fan, zero regrets, and I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone in the UES looking to indulge in some solid cookies. Banana Chocolate Chunk Cookie (5/5) - Apparently their bestseller, and I totally see why. Imagine moist banana bread that decided to glow up and become a chocolate chunk cookie. Unreal. Do yourself a favor and try this one! Peanut Butter Cup / Reese's Pieces Cookie (5/5) - A no-brainer win for chocolate and peanut butter lovers. Overall, this place hits! read more

I walk by all the time and finally gave into my chocolate chip craving and stopped by for some cookies. It's super tiny inside - one table. The counter with the cookies is small too. I got 3 mini cookies for $5.99: - triple chocolate: not as chocolatey as other ones surprisingly - banana chocolate: the banana just added a different texture to the cookie - I didn't mind it! - original chocolate chip: just what I was craving - it hit the spot read more

I stopped in wanting to try a couple different cookies. I went mid morning with the idea that there would be ample supplies. Unfortunately, the best sellers were not available. Probably best for my body lol. I got The Ithica which had chocolate chips and walnuts. It was amazing. It was nice and soft and almost cookie dough which I love. Lots of chocolate chips and walnuts made it quite enjoyable. A bit messy so be careful and not the largest cookie, but an S tier cookie nonetheless. Wish I could have tried more, but glad I got the one. read more

The establishment is small but there is a small area to eat. The display of cookies looked amazing. There was a sampler dish to try some of the cookies. We opted for the Oreo which was just cooked (around 9p) surprised to find out they were still baking stuff so late at night. The cookie is massive, generous on the toppings, not too sweet. It is more on the soft side rather than crunchy. It is thick. read more

Friend brought us here after dinner and wow the cookies are good. Order the original and your taste buds will thank you, one of the best cookies I've ever had. The balance of sweet, chocolate, butter, and all good things in a cookie just wow. We also tried the banana and chocolate. Those were good but paled in comparison to the original. Employee was super nice and seemed genuinely excited that we were there for cookies (as were we). read more

This cookie store just opened in the area. There is no seating really to enjoy your cookies or coffee. There is a small bench by the window. It is super cute and very clean. The person working when I went was very nice and explained to me all the different cookies they had today. I unfortunately, can't eat any due to my allergies. I did see on social media the vanilla Iced fredo cappuccino that looked really good. So, I figured I would get one and try it for myself. YUM! It's delicious and refreshing. They ask if you want cinnamon on top too. Will definitely be back to try more of their coffee drinks. read more

Checked out The Cookie Odyssey at their new UES location! The Odyssey was probably my favorite out of the three and the Chocolate Coconut my second. I appreciated how their cookies were crunchy on the outside with a chewy interior overall. The ratio of cookie to topping was also nicely done. I did find them a little too sweet for my taste and the cookie part was more "cakey" when I prefer my cookies to have more of a chew. The store itself doesn't have a lot of space but I do find the bench top space very cute, especially under the neon lights. Staff were polite and were offering free samples. Curious to try other flavors and to compare how the smaller ones taste to the regular sized cookies! read more

So good! The banana cookie and dark/white chocolate chip cookies were so good!!! The banana was very light in flavor, but the other was very rich and chocolately! Perfectly soft middle. read more

The Cookie Odyssey is a welcome addition to the UES. You may be thinking we have enough places selling cookies, but I feel this one is better than many of the others. We tried a few varieties and regrettably there wasn't time to take pictures because the cookies were devoured that fast! The cyclops- this was a banana chocolate chunk cookie with slices of banana baked in on top. If you like banana and chocolate you'll love this! The ithaca- this was a good rendition of a walnut chunk cookie. I still prefer Levain's more (note: they are very different!) but I would happily eat this cookie again. The calypso- this was a true favorite. I love pecan pie so infuse the flavors into a cookie and I'm sold. I'd recommend trying this. The cookie lineup at The Cookie Odyssey is varied enough to please a crowd. I look forward to going back soon. read more

Delicious cookie experience. A warm inviting smell and a small store (apparently their first location was in FiDi). Allegedly the oldest cookie shop in NYC. Best part is that there a mini versions of each cookie so if you're not in the mood for a sweet overload and want to try a few flavors, you can do it all by yourself in one go! I love that there is a banana flavor with real banana slices and fresh samples to try. There is coffee and milk on the menu (including skim) so I could have a proper cookies and milk experience. This is a great spot when you want something more substantial than the Subway's cookies next to the counter and not as intense as Levain or Chip City and you don't have to trek downtown and find a signature one at a specialty coffee shop or bakery. Will come back! Really appreciated how helpful and kind the staff was as well. read more

The Cookie Odyssey has been around since the 'late 70s, and they are now in UES! Try their 'cookie and milk' combo, which includes a bottle of Battenkill Valley Creamery's milk - super cold, creamy, and tasty! We really liked the Banana Cyclopes and the Chocolate Walnut - warm, decadent, and very generous with the fillings. The space was cute and clean, and the staff were friendly. I'd love to check out the rest of their flavors on the next visit. Easily accessible. +warm cookies +Battenkill Valley Creamery milk +friendly staff & service read more

I am so glad they came to the upper east side! They have both mini and larger cookies available. I tried the chocolate chip banana cookie and was super impressed by both the size and texture. There were different types of chocolate in the cookie which really made for a very delicious bite. Would definitely go again to try different flavors read more

Ordered mini cookies from this shop for an office celebration. An account I follow on Instagram tagged them which is how I found out about them - their website is pretty bare bones and there is no way to order directly from their website - let alone even see the menu. I corresponded with the shop via email and was able to place my order directly through them as opposed to a third party. The mini cookies were buy 8 get 2 free, so i decided to order 6 orders of 8, ending up in 60 cookies. They have 6 core flavors and a seasonal vegan pumpkin pie cookie at the moment. I decided to try all of them! The order arrived early and was packaged very nicely. They have cute long boxes that fit 10 mini cookies perfectly. The cyclops with the banana was by far everyone's favorite. I really enjoyed the triple chocolate chunk. The pecan pie shortbread was really tasty too. The pumpkin pie one felt more cakey than a cookie and was pretty big for a 'mini.' All of the cookies were enjoyed, except the Circe - the chocolate ginger snap. That cookie was inedible. Straight up ginger just all over the cookie. I feel like they could take that cookie off the menu and replace it was something else much better! I'd definitely order from this place again though. read more

The employees are incredibly kind, helpful, and such good energy. We came in near closing and they accommodated us. Portions are huge and the yogurt is super yummy. Thanks so much for the cookies & for making our night! read more

The cookies are okay. I expected a little more flavor though. The texture was soft but kinda grainy. I tried The chocolate chip with white chocolate chunks and the triple chocolate. The cashier was very nice though. read more

Meh...chocolate chip was a good cookie with good flavor. Butter pecan has a dry crust. The pecan interior was okay. Everything else looks too suspect for me to try. read more

Stop by this little place after lunch and it's such a cute place with such a unique variety of cookies that they have definitely grabbed my attention. I got to sample one of the cookies and it was delicious. I ended up getting a pecan pie cookie and the lovely woman behind the counter gave me a small chocolate chip banana cookie to take home. I will definitely be coming back here again. read more

The Cookie Odyssey really deserves more stars than what I see here for what they have to offer. Their take on a traditional chocolate chip cookie (which is what all cookie places should be based off of in my opinion) combines semi sweet chocolate with hints of white chocolate and almond paste which is unique and the tastes compliment each other very well. The texture was satisfyingly crispy on the outer ridges with an all around chewy and gooeyness as you work your way towards the center. Every bite was addicting and leaving me wanting more. The service was also great. The girl working there was sweet, explained each flavor variety they had available and answered questions we had. The store itself is decorated with a very cute aesthetic and they have coffee which is another plus. There is limited seating (just a window bench and single chair) but this rating is for the cookie itself not the seating. read more

Best cookies in town!! My husband and I are new to the area and have been to all the big cookie places in town searching for the best one and The Cookie Odyssey is it! Soft, fresh, perfectly baked and you can taste that they're made with the best clean ingredients. The staff was super friendly and offered us free samples soon as we walked in. We split 4 of the mini cookies to try, walked out and immediately had to turn around to get two more big ones to take home hehe. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors soon! read more

Small place that only makes cookies. I ordered a box of 20 assorted minis. They were goid but nothing extraordinary. The service was excellent and place was clean. That raised the rating from. 3 to 4. Not much better then a supermarkets bakery cookies but more expensive. I probably would not go back. read more

Staff are terrific. Helpful and spirited. Nice setting. Attractive looking goods. Unfortunately the cookie I bought was not very good, actually just a bunch of sweetness with no flavor. Had a few bites and threw out a $5 cookie. read more
