Baking Betty’s

WOW! This place is amazing! Positively the most delicious and creative home made cookies imaginable. The Buckeye is to die for. Emily (Owner) is so sweet and friendly and incredibly hard working. I can’t wait to go back even before I leave. I’m going to try the Nutella and Sea Salt next time I’m in the area. Thanks for an amazing experience.

Delicious cookies! Also, was so excited to see authentic packzi’s (POONCH-​keys) not in a grocery store in CA. Walked by it in the food court with no intention of stopping, but couldn’t help it — the display was so nicely done. Very friendly service, and they were definitely interested to know how the packzi’s compared to traditional ones from predominantly Polish city where I’m from. They were very tasty and had a lighter (read: healthier) taste to them than traditional. Will definitely be back!

Such a better quality of cookie and they personalize! Great for gifts and worth the cost! Friendly and easy to get to in food court-​lower level!

This lovely scratch bakery features heirloom recipes from Emily’s Midwest heritage. Super creative and fresh.
The service is always lovely and knowledgeable, they bake too. Do not miss the delicious treasure in the food court in Fashion Island.

You would think there would be very little to say about a cookie place but you’re wrong !
These cookies are unique & delicious. I have not had a cookie from here that I did not like!
My favorites & highest recommended are:
Circus animal cookie
STUFFED SMORE COOKIE… Yes– STUFFED! It is a classic chocolate chip cookie with a graham cracker, Hershey’s chocolate chunk, & marshmallows baked into it! It is heaven!
& lastly my recent favorite is the Crème brûlée cookie! She torches the topping & it gives it the caramelized taste & look. This is a creamy cookie!
I 100% recommend these 3 cookies to be warmed up! That is a must. (Especially the stuffed s’more, it turns into this gooey mess but a good kind of gooey mess)

Stumbled across this little sweet tooth gem after getting lunch with friends at True Food for Newport Beach Restaurant Week. After coming across their ad around the mall claiming that «we’ll be back for s’mores,» we made it a point to visit this place.
Their setup is pretty cute and the layout of all the various cookies they have and sizes would make any fat kid or diabetic sugar lover get diabetes just by staring at them. After some debate, the girlfriend and I decided to get a half-​dozen of the mini cookies and an ice cream sandwich. With all that sweetness compacted into a container and ice cream sandwich and coming out to be only a little over $ 10, I was very content with their products!
Ice Cream Sandwich: We got a Crème Brulee and MIlky Way Sea Salt Caramel cookie mix with a generous scoop of peppermint ice cream to hold them together. Though the size was a fraction of that you would get at other shops such as say CREAM, each bite packs a major kick of sweet heaven! They definitely do a great job with their cookies and making them taste exactly what they advertise on the corresponding label.

Honestly it’s just ok to me. They have great variety that’s different than normal cookies which I like. I decided to get minis that way I can try more flavors. $ 6 for 6 minis, not bad.
Toffee: Pretty good. I bet that bigger cookies have more crunch because mine was mainly chocolate.
Nutella Sea Salt: Ok to me. It wasn’t that special.
M&M: For something that everyone has, I’m not sure why this is very good to me.
Crème Brulee: It’s good but it’s very very messy.
Iced Oatmeal: Extra nutmeg which makes it smell really homemade.
S’mores: Nothing special.
Meh. Maybe I’ll try different flavors next time. At least they have a lot of variety.

These cookies are absolutely amazing! If anyone like peanut butter as much as I do you have to try the buckeye, monster, and peanut butter cookies! I also tried a cookie with marshmallow and it was outstanding!

I wanted to do another review and say I’ve been back several times since my first one and this place is 5 stars in friendliness and most importantly COOKIES!!! Very friendly and tasty.

Um, wow. Just wow. This place… was fantastic. The cookies, oh my, the cookies. I wanted to try them ALL. They looked so perfect sitting there just waiting for me to pick them. They all were screaming my name!!! But we finally decided on 3. The reese cup, the stuffed s’more (warmed!!) and the buckeye. I am a fan of soft cookies no matter what. These were a home run big time. So soft in the most perfect way. The buckeye was my favorite but I loved them all.
I wish oh do I wish that this place was near me. I want to try each type.
Please go and get these cookies now. You will not be disappointed.

This has become our go to place to satisfy a sweet tooth.
We first discovered this jewel about a year ago, shortly after moving to OC. At first we were a little hesitant because it seemed a bit pricey for a mall food court cookie, but their excellent customer service and free sample quickly lured us into our first of many amazing experienced.
I am a huge cookie fan, and I am not exaggerating when I say that these cookies have ruined me for all others. They are literally the best cookies on the planet. Every other cookie I have tried in the past year is simply subpar. My wife’s favorite is the pug chow — a peanut butter cookie wrapped in chocolate Chex mix goodness and topped with sprinkled sugar. My favorite is the monster with peanut butter, chocolate, and rice crispies on top. The cooked itself has oatmeal chocolate chips and m&m’s and then is topped with a smooth, crispy utopia.
To top it all off, the customer service is great. Friendly staff is always waiting to help and answer any questions. And if you stop by too much, they might even learn your name. ;)

I was visiting the Newport Beach area for work and had some free time which I spent at Fashion Island and as I walked through the food court, I noticed Baking Betty’s and thought that I get a little something sweet to take with me. I got the Betty bite which was a smaller version of the larger cookies and with a Unilocal check –in, I also got one for free. I opted for the white chocolate pistachio, which was actually pretty good. the Betty bite was a perfect serving and it was just $ 1.25.

I stopped here with a friend the other night. It was close to 8pm (they close at 9) and their selection was limited, but we both found cookies we adored. We both loved the stuffed Smore’s cookie and were glad the employee warmed them for us. I was less impressed with my strawberry cheesecake cookie and toffee cookie. The toffee had no crunch to it, just a subtle toffee flavor and it would have been nice to have that warmed too. I was happy the cheesecake cookie had a fresh strawberry piece on top and not canned, but it was a little plain, dry and would have been better if the cookie had been heated before the fruit put on top. The woman who helped us had a great attitude and I would definitely like to come here again when they have even more of a selection available.

While strolling through the food court at Fashion Island, I noticed Baking Betty’s out of the corner of my eye.
The dessert junkie in me HAD to go over there to take a look at all of my dessert options!
Baking Betty’s has a cute little set up, basically a cookie bar with various cookies on display. They have a bunch of different unique flavors — so don’t expect your typical cookie!
The one that caught my attention the most was the Pistachio White Chocolate cooking, which I sampled and ended up getting! And it was delicious!
The perfect amount of sweet and salty with the perfect amount of chewy, and it’s a pretty big cookie!
The only reason why I knocked off a star was because of the price.
I’m actually not entirely sure how much I paid for the cookie, but I believe it was around $ 3-​$ 4.
Love the cookie, but don’t think my wallet will appreciate it if I’m there too often, ha.

First time here, although I think it’s a little pricey, I get it. It’s located inside Fashion Island, I’m sure the Real Estate cost a fortune. Therefore, I think the price makes sense, with that in mind, I gave them a 5 stars in pricing. I am sure rent can’t be cheap. They have a lot of unique flavors and customer service is exceptional, to me, I would pay for that any day.
Price: ⁵⁄₅
Taste: ⁵⁄₅
Customer Experience: ⁵⁄₅
Atmosphere: ⁵⁄₅
Overall experience: 5 Stars! I wish the owner the best, I imagine it’s not easy running a biz here.

$ 3-​$ 4 for an average sized cookie, $ 1.25 for bite sized. Very expensive but it is located in Fashion Island (food court).
I ordered the Smores and chose the frosted Oreo cookie as the «graham cracker.» The person working put in three marshmallows and some Hershey’s and baked it in the oven. It was $ 5.95, so $ 2 extra just for some grocery store ingredients. It was kind for a mess and just an overload of sweetness.
Also used the Unilocal check in to try the strawberry cheesecake which really wasn’t anything amazing, although it did taste like the flavor. Overall the cookies are on the thick and soft side and there is a plethora of traditional cookies as well as some unique options. They’re just ok and I won’t be coming back.

Baking Betty’s is located in the food court of Fashion Island on the lower level. The employees there are very nice and helpful. Most importantly, their cookies are FANTASTIC! I ordered a CUP OF 6 BETTY BITES, which are smaller versions of their originals. I figured I could try more flavors that way, since I had just finished dinner.
The cookies are fresh, moist, and tasty! The Oatmeal Raisin, Snickerdoodle, Signature S’mores, and Toffee were all yummy. I particularly liked the STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE, which was topped with pieces of fresh strawberry. My absolute favorite was CREME BRÛLÉE. It had a think layer of sweet crème topped with crunchy caramelized sugar.
After I paid, I checked into Unilocal,which gave me a free cookie with any purchase. One of the girls heard me say I should have checked in first and she immediately asked what I would like. I ordered another Strawberry Cheesecake. She asked if it was okay that it was a full size cookie. Of course I was okay with that! I definitely want to come back for my favorites and to try some more!

Baking Betty’s is a great spot for a sweet treat while at Fashion Island. Located on the bottom level of the Atrium food court, the eatery features a variety of cookies and ice cream treats so there’s a little something for everyone regardless of their mood.
Out of all the ones we tried, the frosted cookie with crumbled Oreos had to be my favorite. I really liked it, but am glad I shared since it was not only big, but super sweet. I could probably have finished one off on my own, but then wouldn’t have had room for anything else.
Jaime ordered a Pug Chow that was a big peanut butter treat dipped in chocolate. Again, it was big and if you’re a peanut butter fan you won’t want to miss it.
All cookies can be made into an ice cream sandwich depending on your mood. They aren’t too expensive either. Make sure to check in on the Unilocal app for a free cookie if you buy another one. I did it after the fact, so I missed out… So don’t forget about your freebie!

I have to be honest, I wasn’t expecting much in terms of quality and flavor especially from a mall cookie store, but I was very pleasantly surprised. When my daughter came out for a visit from NYC, we kind of went into a sugar overload, eating all kinds of sweets, so by the time we hit up this food court store, we were pretty much finished. That being said, we each chose one cookie, so we could try 4 flavors. I can assure you that if it were any earlier in her visit, there would have probably been 4 flavors per person, but that’s just where we were with eating sweets.
In any event, it was difficult to choose because they actually had so many unusual flavors (well, at least to me), and they all sounded so good. We ended up with a Crème Brulee, S’mores, Caramel Apple, and a Nutella stuffed with sea salt. I’m here to tell you, they were all really good and truly representative of their titles. I love when I can tell what I’m eating and not have to wonder why they called it whatever they did. I absolutely knew with these. Impressive for mall cookies.
I would love to go back, but honestly, we don’t live around the corner, and even more honestly, my waistline cannot afford the damage I’d do if I ate them all the time… but IF I’m in the area, I will probably make my way back there. Really quite good.

Baking Betty’s was an unexpected find in the food court of Fashion Island.
They offer some unique cookie flavors like crème brulee and s’mores as well as a Betty of the Month (aka Flavor of the Month). Yes, the prices are a little high, but keep in mind, they are located in the Fashion Island mall, so they probably assume people will shell out more money for cookies.
As a first timer, I would recommend the Betty Bites, which are smaller cookies. This helps you decide what you like and then you can go back and buy the larger version. I bought one dozen of the Betty Bites ($ 12). My favorite was the crème brulee and the lemon raspberry (Betty of the Month).
It’s worth checking out if you’re shopping in the area.
