Hot Box Cookies

I came here on a late night back in May. The fact that it stays open as late as it does is a big plus. Even at the latest of hours the cookies were nice, and warm, and gooey, and fresh and all the other positive adjectives that describe good cookies. Lol. Go here. Drunk. Sober. Hungover. It doesn’t matter. You will not be dissatisfied.

I think I might love this place even more than Tiff’s treats! Delicious, warm, fresh cookies with just the right amount of gooeyness in the middle. The ice cream cookie sandwiches were especially good. I love that it’s open until 2 AM so you can fulfill those late night cookie cravings. I just wish they had more locations!

LOVE this cookie joint!
Made to order!
Fresh!
Hot cookies!
Cold bottled beverages!
Awesome service!
Delivery!
Super convenient Central West End location across from Einstein Bagel and next door to Massage Luxe.
Wait time 13 minutes for fresh dough hot off the press. Day old dough discounted for your morning after pleasure. That’s all I have to say about that…

+ Service
Cookies here are still amazing, I love how warm and gooey they are.
Update: I was told you can call ahead to check if your favorite flavors are in, if the ones you want aren’t available they can pop them in for you. Yay for attention to customer service!

I stopped into Hot Box one evening while waiting at Barnes and decided to grab a cookie or two, now this was my first visit to Hot Box and I have to say that I just wasn’t overly impressed with the concept enough to make me want to return. It wasn’t that the service or cookies were bad, in fact service was friendly and the cookies were just chewy enough to be almost perfect. The cookies are baked fresh on a regular basis and there is a variety of options available, for my visit I went with the Red Velvet and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies. I have to admit that the Red Velvet was bland and almost tasteless, the one good thing was the white chocolate chips. Whereas the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie was an improvement in terms of taste, it was delicious because the peanut butter cookie was filled with Reese’s Pieces! I mean any cookie with tiny pieces of chocolate covered peanut butter can’t be bad, lol! However for a place that calls itself Hot Box, I can say that my cookies were far from that, so I cannot say if I received a fresh batch or something that had been sitting out for several hours.
One plus is the hours, Hot Box is open late allowing anyone to get their cookie fix at late night hours, pricing is fair with each cookie costing about $ 2/​each. However I just wasn’t overly impressed enough to return, however if you are in the area and craving a cookie I am sure that it will fulfill your cravings!

I’m not a big cookie person, but I love Hot Box cookies. The chocolate chip and the chocolate with the white chocolate are my favorites. Always warm. I have not had a cookie I didn’t like. Employees are very friendly.

A cookie place that’s open til 2am?! Say what?! This place is great! I came at 9 pm last night, and my chocolate chip and cookies and cream cookies were fresh and delicious! There’s also board games to enjoy with your cookies which is nice. I wish that they had had more varieties available when i arrived but i can’t be mad about that considering that i came there late. Please note that there is a $ 4 minimum required for credit cards.

Perfect service and delicious cookies. In my opinion, better than insomnia down the road. Very very clean interior and professional staff. Loved the (not sure exactly of the name) but the chocolate cookie with white chocolate. Yum.

Delicious fresh baked cookies. I tried the red velvet and white chocolate chip cookies. The red velvet was the perfect amount of sweetness and fluffiness. The white chocolate was yummy too but sweetness was a little overwhelming. Four stars and not five because they’re generic cookies.
$ 1.35 per specialty cookie
$ 1.25 per regular cookie
The bad side: no parking

OMG! These cookies are DEEEEELICIOUS! We drive over 20 miles just for them! This is the only place that I have found that sells a real MONSTER COOKIE… and oatmeal-​chocolate chip… and peanut butter-​chocolate chip!
The only negative I have is that there isn’t a plain sugar cookie!

Super warm, super moist!
Went around 7:30p on a Monday, I was nervous that the cookies would be old, but they weren’t!
I ordered chocolate chip, chocolate white chocolate chip, snicker doodle, and peanut butter. They all were good, but the chocolate white chocolate chip was my favorite.

Warm, soft, moist, tasty and melts in your mouth. Great addition to the CWE. Better than the other cookie place near N. Euclid and Maryland Plaza.

First time trying this cookie place on a whim yesterday and I would totally go back! I’m visiting St. Louis and never been in the Central West End so I asked a friend if we could just try this place since I had a sweet tooth and we both loved it! I got an ice cream sandwich cookie despite it being 20 degrees out and it was still great! Chocolate ice cream in between two peanut butter cookies was delicious! Next time I come back I will go here!

Omg. The cookies here are amazing! They are all perfectly soft and chewy, and you can’t stop at one! My favorites are the chocolate chip, red velvet, and snickerdoodle! Oh ya, and the chocolate chocolate chip! If you follow them on Facebook, they are always doing giveaways, so watch for those. I had a friend win a box. Just writing this review is making me hungry for their cookies! You have to have their cookies! They are life changing!

The most perfect ice cream cookie sandwich bliss…
Great place to hang out.

Better than insomnia? I mean they don’t have my fav. White chocolate macadamia like insomnia but the cookie is not as greasy. Overall for the basics cookie — come here, always go to insomnia to make your own ice cream cookie sandwiches!
And correction– I was just informed they have ice cream cookie sandwiches. This is a game changer!

My girlfriend picked up some of these cookies yesterday, and I’m already craving more! I feel like that should be a good enough review, but I image that Unilocal would probably like a bit more.
The cookies we tried were snickerdoodle (sugar and cinnamon perfection), peanut butter and chocolate chip, and chocolate chip. Wow, at a dollar a pop, they are tasty. My next endeavor is to try the premium $ 1.25 cookies. I love these price points.
They are mouth-​watering tasty too. I guess taste in cookies are like anything else, personal, but these satisfied my sweet tooth (and the all other 31). The flavors come through. I mean it just pains me when something has chocolate in the title and you don’t get any actual chocolate flavor. But, not here. The chocolate chip cookies are bursting with ooey, gooey chocolatey goodness. Perfection for me.
Perhaps, one could complain that some of the cookies are maybe served a little under cooked, especially in the middle. But, as I was eating one fresh out of the oven, this didn’t bother me one bit. I can’t ever actually tell when a cookie is under, but these are definitely soft in the middle with a nice texture. I maybe (definitely) have eaten raw cookie dough, contrary to all the warnings plastered on the grocery store brands now. So, maybe, I like my cookies a little under. Oh, and you can buy the dough frozen, if you’re a total crispy fan.
Tasty, tasty cookies. Man, sometimes, it is good to be in a college town!
Parking around the store is tight. We had to look for a spot. Granted we’re not parallel parking experts, but we were able to find a meter a few blocks away. Given the location, I guess it’s reasonable to assume the place wouldn’t have any dedicated parking. Just a heads up, if I had read other reviews prior to going, I would have known this.
As for the store, it has a cool, modern feel and plenty of seating. The location is a cute, casual date spot, a spot for a quick family outing, or just a guy, like me, looking for cookies. What I’m trying to say is the place is comfortable and has a cool vibe. Service was friendly, even with a very young staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful enough to already have me wanting to go back a second time.
Delivery is offered, and they also have online ordering. So, you’re telling me I can sit at home, catch a game, and stuff my face with these?! Yes. Yes, a 1000 times, yes. I think, I in fact, have my next Sunday night planned.
I pretty sure you already knew this, but I recommend this place for all cookie fans.

So this is my first time trying hot box cookies in STL. I have had it many of nights in Columbia MO and was hoping for the same experience and I actually think it was better! I usually order boxes of cookies for delivery; yes they deliver cookies Tonight the whole group went with the cookie ice cream sandwiches. It was the perfect combination of warm, gooey, homemade cookies with local STL creamy ice cream! My favorite part is you can order a different cookie for each side of the sandwich, so we had combos like chocolate chip and snickerdoodle; chocolate chip and peanut butter; the Reese’s pieces cookie with chocolate chip and then chocolate chip with red velvet! Can’t wait to go back and the prices are fantastic too, we even asked how they make a good profit selling 1 buck cookies! Let’s just say, they are doing something right!

Things said by the adults:
«Holy sweet mother of God.»
«Cookiegasm…»
Even stranger things said by the kids:
«I love you, Dad»
«You’re the best!»
This place makes a mean chocolate chip cookie, dare I say it will take the top spot from Winslows home? The prices are very reasonable, and the cookies are again, to die for. Paid around $ 13 for a dozen cookies with tax. Just go here. I have chocolate all over my face so can’t write much more, need to take a shower.

Got the oven going up, on a Wednesday —
Got cookies baking fresh and I’m choosy.
Happy, Happy — Joy, Joy! I became familiar with Hot Box Cookie while at law school in Columbia, MO and I must say I am thrilled they are now in the area. The Lou has never seen fresh cookie like this.
Cookie Types: Oatmeal and Raisin, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip & Oatmeal combo, Peanut Butter, Monster, M&M’s, Red Velvet and many more.
Peep the scenario:
All of the above noted cookie dough’s are available to you. You get to choose one, two, hell pick oodles of them. Then your cookies are baked fresh!!! Not made fresh that day but in your face! Nothing says lovin like a warm fresh cookie. Then, if you thought it couldn’t get better, wait, wait, wait, hold — IT … it does!!! They deliver (but this review doesn’t speak to that), have icing sandwiches (2 cookie w/​icing in the middle), ice cream sandwiches and huge cookie cakes. They also have cookies on display that are made fresh daily for fast service. Are you in a sugar coma yet? For milk options they have skim, 2 percent and chocolate (no soy, almond or rice milk yet) and I think Pepsi products are coming.
When I went, my wait was only five minutes for fresh cookies so it wasn’t bad at all. The cookies aren’t huge but are a very generous size. I went with: 2 snicker doodle cookies, 2 classic chocolate chip, 2 peanut butter chocolate chip and 2 oatmeal chocolate. So fresh and so good. The box was actually hot and the cookies were packaged with care and foil inside to retain the heat.
Another standout for this business is that they are open late — waaaay late (most evenings until midnight and on the weekend until 2am). So on those nights when you’re out kicking it late and your sweet tooth is on ten (that means on high) this place is ready. That will really work in this area being so urban (in midtown), close to University, medical centers and the Cortex Innovation Community (a.k.a The District — techies like sweets too).
If you live in the area (or have lived in any trendy metro area) — you know how cool it is to walk to a bar after dinning at a cool place; you’ve just had good eats and a nice buzz from whatever you just drank then add in a cool breeze and cookies. It’s those nights you don’t forget — those nights that feel like you’re in a cool music video or a sassy Sex N the City episode (for guys, let’s say How to Make it in America or Entourage). Have one of those nights or just an awesome day/​afternoon and stop by Hot Box Cookies — you’ll leave with a big olé smile — I did.
