Classic Cookie Co

Muffins in the morning are soooo good. And cookies in the afternoon as big as your head?! Yes, please. And every Friday starting at 3:00 all cookies and brownies are $ 1. Can’t beat it! And the friendly guy behind the counter is just icing on the cookie.

There’s no better place than this shop to get incredible morning muffins that are warm out of the oven and your after lunch cookie or bar. Been coming here for close to 20 years as I work just a few buildings away and can zip through the skyway to get there. Muffins and cookies are $ 1.50 each and well worth it. A few of their other goodies are a bit more, but still a far better choice than something in packaging from any of the skyway convenience stores or a vending machine. The Wuollet’s bakery located in US Bank Plaza charges quite a bit more for their items and they aren’t nearly as good as the items from here. Same can be said for Café Donuts located in the Canadian Pacific Plaza building. Most of their items go for $.99 and you can tell simply by taking one bite and tasting how processed and bland their donuts are.
Kenny & Ethan keep everything moving smoothly and quickly with customers and are always in a great and cheerful mood. On Friday afternoons, after 3:00, everything remaining is half price.
It’s cash only, no debit or credit cards.

$ 1.50 buys you happiness and about 800 calories. Wana pay more at some other bakery, go ahead, but this is my place for getting fat.
In the morning they have muffins. Lots of muffins. My favorite is chocolate chip. They have a ton of other ones, and sometimes there is a line in the morning. Nothing will brighten up your morning at work like a freshly baked yummy raspberry oatmeal muffin. More of a blueberry guy, they got those too. I do have to say something they put way too much sugar on top, but it still works. I feel that these muffins are not only awesome, they are made with love. I cant really explain it, its just a feeling that I get.
In the afternoon they have cookies. Delicious, round, chocolate chip, oatmeal, sugar, whatever– your –heart –will –desire cookies. Its a cash only joint and they close at 3 pm so if you are working a long day and need some sugar, stop by.
The people that work there are great. Once you become a regular they know your order and everything. Love it!

Yay! We went to the cookie place in the skyway! The guy behind the cash register is soooooo happy and smily, it’s nice to be served by such a friendly person. And the cookies are amazing! I had a pecan pie bar today and it was scrumptious!

Pretty good cookies from what looks like an independent shop. I kinda want to go back and try them again…

When I first started working over this way I was stopping in almost daily. The goal was to try every cookie. I gave up on that when my waist began to expand but I have tried quite a few of them and nearly all of them were incredible. That’s not to say they’re not all good, one of them that I’m not very fond of is a favorite of my coworker’s. The ginger is my personal fave. A little crisp around the edges with the most delightfully chewy middle. One of the guys at the counter there is quite a riot, always laughing and chatting with everyone who stops in. Even if I’m not stopping he’ll always wave and ask how I am. That’s my kind of cookie place!

Don’t wanna pay $ 3 for a cookie at Wuollet’s?
Well I can’t say that I don’t blame ya, I’m all about finding a really good deal too!
When I walked by here, I’ll be completely honest… I almost didn’t even give it a second glance. But that’s when my nose took over and decided to give it another smell!
The cookies here are perfectly large, perfectly priced, and they are the soft kind that melts in your mouth without giving you that doughy feeling of being undercooked! Someone put a lot of thought into this place, as well as the recipes!
I must say, I will have to give this place another shot for a pastry!

Love this place! I’ve gone to this place for over 10 yrs. I don’t work downtown anymore so, I rarley get to go! But, anytime I am in downtown Minneapolis during the day… I’m there. Sourcream muffins or milk chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are a must!!!

I love cookies, but they have to be done right: soft, chewy, but not raw in the middle, lightly golden brown, lots of chocolate chips (or M&Ms). Most places don’t do them right. The Classic Cookie Company does. $ 1.50 for my chocolate chip cookie fix, and it’s so conveniently located in the Minneapolis Skyway system on 2^nd Avenue between 4^th and 4^rd Streets on a corridor loaded with food options. I’m a happy cookie camper today.
Further testament to their cookie greatness: I was the only one buying a single cookie — everyone else in line was buying them by the dozen.
