A great place for cookie lovers. They got a lot of tasty options to choose from. Cookies have a nice crunchy exterior and chewy core.
The cookies here are softy, chewy, and delicious! They have a variety of flavours (with fun names) that changes seasonally, including Asian inspired flavours like ube and black sesame, and some cookies have fillings. I've tried 8 different flavours so far and loved most of them, with the black sesame being my favourite. The pistachio one was good, but a little too sweet for me. There was one time when some of the cookies I purchased were a little undercooked, and didn't taste too great. However, after I put them in the air fryer, or oven for about 3 minutes they were perfect, and I got to eat them warm. The staff here are friendly, patient, and had no issues with me taking my time to time to decide on which flavours to purchase. The place itself has a very basic set up, but smells great from the fresh baked cookies.
This place is "da bomb". Very creative flavors, moist, large and delicious! The more cookies you buy the cheaper too. I highly recommend the matcha mochi, and all other flavors. Get a box of six cookies. You will be very happy.
Omg yum! Yes these cookies are so soft and come in I think 10 flavours at a time with soft center of filling! I tired a few different ones with friends, and we all enjoyed it. I like the outside of my cookies to be crunchy, but that's just me so that's why they got a 4 star, but the staff are friendly and the store in clean. It's quick to pick up your box of goodies and honestly all of the cookies I've tried were tasty!
Dropped by my favourite cookie shop and got: Ooh Bae: 5/5 Continues to be my #1 favourite cookie ever. I love the ube jam filling, I could probably eat it alone. The cheesecake flavour isn't that strong but all the elements of this cookie beautifully blend together. Blueberry cheesecake: 4.5/5 The lemon cheesecake filling compliments the blueberry cookie dough incredibly well. I love how the lemon flavour adds another element of flavour. Cinnamon bun: 5/5 True to its name, the cinnamon swirl cookie and its vanilla cream cheese filling is delicious and not too sweet like your normal cinnamon buns. Moon cookie: 3/5 This cookie's dough is black sesame and it has a salted yolk custard filling. The black sesame was actually quite hard to taste. The salted yolk custard filling is an interesting creation and I enjoyed trying this cookie combination out. Thai Milk Tea: 4/5 This Thai milk tea was filled with thai tea chocolate ganache. The Thai milk tea flavour was muted a bit by the chocolate. Service was quick and sweet. I did come right at 1200 and their cookies were not yet at room temperature so when I got home, they were smushed together (which is ok!). I also love how they have a rewards system and their prices are fair for the quality and size of their cookies. I will return for more ube cookies!
Ended up getting a box of cookies from the mothers day pop up at square one. I was super excited because of the unique flavours available, and I heard very good things about Night Baker. I got two of the Ube, one Pandan coconut, two Oreo Milk Cookie, and one CC3. They were good, but comparable to other cookies I've had before. I agree that it is not too sweet and therefore suitable for my taste buds. I actually think the cookies taste better cold after leaving in the fridge, but that is a personal preference. Top 2 is definitely the coconut pandan and the ube. They were both rich in flavour.
This place has been one of the places that I've always wanted to go because it has gooey cookies! I really wanted to try their ube cookie (purple yam)! As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the warm smell of cookies baking! I didn't know what to order, so I got a 12-pack cookies to go. The friendly cashier put some of my order (ube cookies) in another box as they just came out fresh from the oven and were hot. I appreciated that she took the extra step to make sure that all my cookies stay in great shape as I head back home. I was told to heat the cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before eating. I am used to eating crunchy, hard cookies bought from stores, so heating them sounded a bit strange. However, after taking the first bite, I realized why they had to be heated- each cookie was warm and soft, the flavour exploding in my mouth! Wowza! Highly recommended! Each cookie is big, so get one or two to eat for yourself and get a 6 or 12 pack and share them with your friends! :D
Seriously the best cookies EVER. I've tried a lot in Toronto and my mom is trained in pastry making from culinary school. Highly recommend and need to share these with friends! Flavourful, Not greasy, not too sweet, perfect texture
If this is how the cookie crumbles... then give me a dozen! LOL I'm not much of a sweets guy but when I find something I like, I really really really like it! So... running around College Street and eventually found a place to have dinner. It was sidewalk dining in around 13 degree weather (to my US peeps, that's Celsius). Though not the best temp, it was still pretty comfortable and doable. After opting out of dessert, what to do as I needed a finish to the night off right. Noticed that I was pretty close to Ossington and there was a lot of things said about The Night Baker. Well it was night, and I wanted something baked! LOL! Let's put the hype to the test! As I walked in, I was actually overcome by the sudden hit of sweetness and cinnamon in the air. I had to step outside to clear my throat - seriously! Wow! That is a lot of flavour and that's just in the air! I wonder how much is packed into a "disk of delight". :) They has some really amazing creations and many were sold out. The Milk&Oreos + S'mores really got my attention. As well as, the Ube. Did I like it? Let me put it this way... I'm quite happy that there are many miles away from me! If they were next door, I'd be broke and my blood sugar levels would set new worlds records! So yeah... really good! I was happy to do what I can to support local businesses - not just tonight, but every time I need to go out. If we don't support them today, they will not be here tomorrow. That would be a terrible shame! Especially, since I like fresh fun creations - I don't want to have a stale package crap cookie from a clown! Yeah... that would be tragic!!! :( I got a half dozen of these beauties. As cookies go, they are pretty expensive. Some may say totally worth it, I'd say for me, it's a treat and not a daily one. Make a run out and do something cool to help out your fav place today! CHEERS!
Best gourmet cookies all around! Not too sweet and full of flavour. My biggest issue is always when the cookies are too sweet but it is not an issue here. My favourite is the ube I can eat 10 of them. It literally melts in your mouth. I really enjoy all the rotating flavours and the different twists to them ube, matcha etc and you can't go wrong with the classics as well. Will def be back!
I like my cookies a little burnt that's the only thing I would change. But it's an easy fix. I put my cookie in the toaster before I eat it and it gets a thin slight burnt to it Mistachio -he matcha flavor is present it's not overpowering but you can definitely taste it so delicious Choco oat- even though this is an oat cookie it is still very gooey and chewy it's not strong in oat I felt that the chocolate was stronger than the oat still very good the chocolate is rich and tasty the classic - is your most basic cookie that they have it's a chocolate chip cookie where they add some walnuts and sea salt and it has their signature chewy gooey texture Gingerella - yes it was so good it's a ginger cookie however it's soft whereas most ginger cookies are hard and it's filled with a Nutella filling I loved every minute of it it was a little bit messy because of the Nutella inside and it is extra soft and broke in the box Ohh Bae - I didn't know what to expect. It was very goey but didn't have a strong distinct taste. It tasted like plain sweet cookie dough with a goey centre
Pandan coconut 5/5 Ooh bae 4.5/5 - so much ube flavour it's insane Appledoodle 3/5 Mistachio 3/5 Sans Rival 5/5 - super tasty almond cookie with a creamy sweet cashew nut filling Food for the gods 3.5 - DELECTABLE but one of their sweeter cookies bc of the dates, door toffee bits & walnuts I prefer their filled cookies over their regular (but extravagant) cookies. Not bad price for the unique asian-inspired flavours and they are ALWAYS ON POINT with their cookie softness and gooeyness without being overtly sweet. I enjoy their cookies by microwaving for 8 seconds and with my unsweetened almond milk hehe LIFE HACK: For those that live downtown core & can't venture out to their West end location, the restaurant Tala (on Dundas st W in front of the AGO) carries NightBakerTO cookies regularly!
I stopped in at The Night Baker last Friday and bought a couple Classic cookies for Gord and I. The cookies were so delicious! Soft and bursting with salty chocolate flavour!
We'd just finished a night of bar hopping and were in the mood for a sweet treat. A quick search for cookies on my maps app pointed us directly to The Night Baker. We were feeling pretty indecisive, so we wound up getting six cookies. (These cookies aren't cheap, by the way. That half dozen wound up costing almost $30!) Anyway, the cookies were all delicious. I was especially drawn to the Maple Bacon ("maple bacon cookie, maple cream filling"). Often when bacon is included in a cookie or dessert, it stands out like a sore thumbs. But it was incorporated shockingly well here, and that prominent maple flavor complemented the bacon perfectly. For a late night treat, The Night Baker certainly hit the spot. I'm sure we'll be retuning on our next drunken night out. read more

This place does soft cookies with many unusual flavours. The cookies here are moister than at other places, especially Ube & Cashew (which had moist paste in the centre). Ube (purple yam) had a nice flavour, though the ube wasn't as strong as in standalone ube products. Milk N Oreos & Cashew were excellent, with flavour combinations that worked very well. Coco Pandan was good with white coconut cream inside. Keso Royale was slightly salty with moist cheese inside. It was a bit too salty for a cookie for me, though the crumb was still pleasant. Mango was like a normal cookie with bits of mango inside. The mango & cookie didn't complement each other, though the combination wasn't jarring. All the same, this was not one of the better flavours. They also sell 4 gelato flavours from Death in Venice (from down the street, at the same price) & there's a discount if you get both gelato & cookies. I got coconut pandan. It was rich & tasted good but its texture was a bit gummy (vegetarian ice cream...) read more
Their cookies are excellent with different innovative flavours changing over time. The price is cheaper the more you buy; e.g.. One for $2.85, 2 for $5.50. They also sell coffee ($2.50) and milk ($2.00). These speciality cookies are meant to be heated up again to get that soft gooey texture and some have a flowing interior when you break them apart. There is a warning that cookies contain nuts, wheat and eggs. This place is a takeout restaurant. The daily cookies are on display. You can see into their open kitchen and preparation area. You can sometimes get the smell of freshly made cookies. I been here a few times. Today, 2020-07-03, I got: 1. Sans Rival: almond cashew cookie with a cashew cream filling. 2. ooh Bae: ube (purple yam), cheesecake cookies with ube jam filling. There is a reward membership system ("Night Baker Rewards"). You get points for each purchase. They sometimes give you specials. When you buy 12 cookies, you get one free as a member. One perk you can rely on is a free cookie at your birthday plus/minus a week. They even send you a reminder email close to your birthday. The staff are extremely courteous. There are no customer washrooms. During pandemic times, only 4 customers are allowed inside at a time and you must maintain physical distancing. Credit or debit is preferred over cash. read more

There's been a lot of hype around these cookies on Instagram. I was in the area after brunch and decided to order some. Placed an order in advance and it was ready within 15 min for pick up - nice and easy. I was underwhelmed by the cookies here. I found the texture a bit off-putting. Too soft and bland. No depth of flavour. I like a crispy edge and soft gooey interior and this was more cakey. I also didn't find much variation between the cookie flavours. I followed their instructions to warm it up and it didn't really help much. I much prefer other spots in the city. read more

I was previously gifted a box of Night Baker cookies and feel in love with their flavourful and high quality cookies! Recently got to visit their shop in person, and got to try a couple more flavours: The CLASSIC and the NUTTY PUMPKIN. Both were perfect. The latter was even better than expected and just perfectly suited for the fall season. It's like a pumpkins pie in cookie form! You must try it before they end it's limited run. read more

I hate to say it, but these definitely look better than they taste. I was really excited to try The Night Baker, but what really gets me about their cookies is the whole wheat flour (which might just be my preference) and that the inside is slightly less baked than I would prefer. I just find that the whole wheat flour just gives it an undesirable grainy texture and wheaty flavour. I'm all for cookies that are soft and chewy inside, but these were a touch raw, and I actually found them to be a lot better when I took them home and baked them for 10-15 minutes. All of that being said, they do have some really nice flavours and the staff is really nice! Might give them another try as they roll out other flavours. read more

Hi Tiffany, Mitchell here from The Night Baker. Thanks for trying our…
Fat and gooey, doughy yet chewy, Night Baker makes cookies just the way I like them. I don't know how they make these soft blobs taste like slightly-underbaked cookie dough and whatever-flavour-you-choose at the exact same bite, but I'm all in for it! My wife and I got a box of 6 ($15 no tax), and chose: - Ooh Bae: Ube cookie with ube jam filling. I loved that the ube taste was strong (and not just a powder dusting), and the jam filling was oh so gooey. This was both our favourites, so it was good we got 2. - Campfire Smores: I like my smores to be more heavily chocolate than marshmallow, and this was it. - Mistachio: I didnt really like it, but my wife's a big fan of matcha and pistachio (both flavours that were strong here), and she loved this cookie. - Milk and Oreos: More milky than chocolatey. Pretty good though tasted more like a traditional cookie. - Beggos: Nutella cookie with nutella filling and waffle crisps. Again, the flavour was strong and the filling was gooey. We had some on-the-spot (heavenly, since they were still warm), and a day after (a bit less chewy but still very good), and loved the cookies both times. I hope they continue baking well into the night because we are definitely coming back for more! read more
Ok I may just have found THE cookie place! This place beats Craig's cookies and has a very unique texture and approach to baking their cookies. They almost taste like macaroons. We tried the chocolate, the pink lady, the mistachio and they were all amazing. I recently returned and tried the Ooh Bae and it is the perfect cookie. Its soft, gooey in the middle, crispy on the outside shell. Pro tip: if they run our, ask when the next batch is coming and stick around and try one that just came out! read more

I give this place three stars for their cool flavors but the truth is the flavour and texture is not all that. It's a little bit more on the bready side, and as another reviewer said, sometimes under-baked and don't always taste like what they say they are. The ube flavour didn't really taste like anything. I personally won't be returning. If you are to go, probably just pick your top number one flavor that you're interested in trying. You might be disappointed if you order too much. Secret tip, there is some Easy Financial customer parking right behind the building if you just want to run in real quick read more

Great and fast service! Very friendly and accommodating. Big cookies and reasonable pricing! Ordered from The Night Baker from Markham and delivery was only $5, which is a really great price. I asked if they can help me write a little note as well and they made a tag out of it on the box. My guests really enjoyed their cookies. All were really chewy and soft, big cookies where you want more but they were so big you had to save room for later. Overall would go back and definitely try their new and innovative flavours! Our favorite was the strawberry cheesecake when they had it, but the mocha and smores ones were also delicious! read more
I know this place is some people's fav cookie shop in Toronto but I didn't find it that impressive. It's a very average cookie at best. I tried the cookies & cream and the ube and they both tasted very homemade, like something I would make myself or like cookies I would get from friends. It's not that it's bad, it's definitely not bad, but just not something I would go out of my way to get. I recently tried Daango's cookies and those cookies blew me away...(& I usually find Daango's cakes quite average...in fact they look better than they taste & I find it's more aesthetically pleasing than really made with taste in mind, BUT THEIR COOKIES omg that you need to try). read more
I was so hyped when I finally tried this cookie place that has been sitting in my list We got a half dozen of these big, fat, chewy cookies Flavors: Ooh Bae, Milk-n-Oreo, Classic, and Mistachio. Each of it had the perfect ratio of toppings Our absolute favorite is the "Ooh Bae" - ube cheesecake cookie with ube halaya (jam) filling is so soft & chewy. For those ube lovers, YOU WILL COME BACK FOR THIS And I'm definitely coming to get a dozen of those ooh bae on my next visit! read more

Really creative and unique cookie flavours! In order or preference, we got: moon cookie (black sesame with salted yolk filling), mistachio (matcha and pistachio), ube, cinnamon bun, milk and Oreos, and Coco pandan. The cookies are very puffy and soft, with a texture similar to a brownie. I would recommend the filled cookies as they're a bit more special. I was weary about a salted egg yolk filling, as it doesn't sound too appetising, but it went really well with the black sesame cookie (sweet/salty combo) and is like a deluxe peanut butter cookie :) overall, would recommend. read more
