Pacific Cookie Company

We try to get here every time we visit Santa Cruz as the cookies are a perfect blend of crispy edges and chewy middles! Have also shipped orders to friends and family, both by the dozen and individually wrapped. Shipments always arrived in perfect condition and cookies fresh! Support these local guys!!!

I went to the Cookie Company today and got 2 cookies and a milk. I took my food and drink home with me, and ate 1 cookie and then opened my milk to drink it. After having taken a giant gulp and it tasting strange, I dumped it out. As I dumped it out it was incredibly chunky and very spoiled. I checked the expiration date and it was not supposed to expire until tomorrow. This means the company is improperly handling the milk and allowing it to get warm and then re-​refrigerating it. I called and spoke with someone working and they informed me that this happens semi regularly, something I have also heard from past workers. The worker I informed said that they would not even remove the milk until they officially expired, per their policy. Disappointing service from what was once a great local business.
Lets just hope this doesn’t result in food poisoning.

Can’t walk by this place and ignore that fresh cookie smell! Bought one of their macaroons and a chocolate chip cookie. Best macaroon I’ve ever had. Came back the next day and bought 3 of each, total was $ 6.50. Cookie monster created… can’t wait to come back to cookie out!

Loved the mint chocolate chip cookie! Definitely can’t wait to come back for some more.

Every time we find ourselves in (or passing through) Santa Cruz we always plan a stop at Pacific Cookie Company to pick up some cookies to take home. We’ve sampled many of the varieties which are all delicious but our personal favorite is the ginger spice. I think this is the best ginger cookie we’ve ever had.
We buy a baker’s dozen and freeze them when we get home to enjoy in the days to follow.
They also sell Marianne’s ice cream as well. A sugar cone of their 10 – 20 is a must, especially if you are a caramel fan.
The people behind the counter are always friendly and helpful.
Leave a tip in the fishbowl. They deserve it.

It was hard to choose just one flavor walkig in. So many wam delicious looking cookies, the lemon drop is definitely one of my new favioret desserts and despite the crowd the service was fast and friendly!

Smooth brewed coffee with free choice of gourmet cookie. Very well priced and ice cream is delicious too

I do not understand why they do not have a Pacific Cookie Company in Hawaii when it is in the middle of the Pacific. Someone tell the owner of this company to open a store in Hawaii to legitimize its name and also so I can stop crying at night.
One could easily underestimate this place because honestly, Pacific Cookie Company is not the most appealing name for a cookie store. I could say the name 10 times and forget it the next day. Also the interior design did not draw me in any way. Instead, I was captured by the classic heavenly aroma of freshly baked cookies. At the time I was in Santa Cruz, it was raining and freezing cold. The thought of biting into a warm chewy cookie immediately replaced my complaints of the dismal weather.
The first cookie I tried was the «mint condition.» I ordered it not only for its creative name, but because it was such a good looking cookie. You cannot miss it. It basically looks like Subway’s double chocolate chip cookies with adorable mint green chips in it. It is as good as it looks my friends. The second cookie I tried was the Snickerdoodle, which I typically hate. In fact, I have never tried a good Snickerdoodle… until I came here. I believe its texture won me over. It reminded me of these butter cookies I devoured when I was a child, and thus, I would not be surprised if there was a ton of shortening in the batter. It was the perfect complement to my coffee. Lastly, (I came here twice before leaving Santa Cruz) I had the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookie. I clearly do not have to explain why this cookie is amazing because peanut butter can do no wrong… unless you’re allergic to nuts… then it can do a lot of wrong.
Bottom line: Be a smart cookie and try this place… you will not regret it! Also Unilocal offers a free cookie with any purchase for your first check-​in. Dealzzzzz.

A Santa Cruz Legend. The Pacific Cookie Company makes incredible cookies. Ordered a dozen for my nephews and brought them home tonight. Looking forward to a couple Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip bunches of goodness. Awesome cookie place, reasonable prices, and friendly helpful staff. Thank you Pacific Cookie Company :)

I tasted heaven when I first tried their warm snickerdoodles. Thank you. I can die peacefully now.
Also, they freeze exceptionally well and can be easily reheated in the oven.

I wanted to give out a Santa Cruz treat as our wedding favors, and thought cookies from Pacific Cookie Company would be perfect. I got a quick response from Ashley in their main office, who helped me select the flavors and make sure my cookies were ready on time. They even offered to put on stickers with our names on it if I mailed to them, which turned out great.
The cookies were delicious, and we got a lot of compliments on the packaging. Thank you, Ashley, and Pacific Cookie Co. for making our day even better!

Why Your Inner Cookie Monster Will Like PCC:
1) You’ll be supporting a local, family business.
2) The Ginger Spice Cookie is full of ginger flavor and not overly sweet.
3) The Mint Condition Cookie tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream.
4) You’ll have plenty of other cookie flavors to try. (The Oatmeal Raisin, Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Chip dipped cookies were too sweet for me though.)

I’m a self proclaimed cookie monster and I was thrilled when my sister brought us to this place! They’ve got a good selection of cookies and they are reasonably priced a just over $ 1 per cookie (not to mention they are good sized!). Since I was with the family, I got to try a number of different flavors– chocolate chip, lemon, peanut butter chocolate chip, etc. All the cookies were pretty solid– I couldn’t say these were the best cookies I’ve ever had but they certainly were good and a good value as well! A nice place to stop by for a sweet treat that won’t break the bank!

No human should be able to pass by a cookie store and simply ignore it. No one! Even if we just pigged out on lunch, we had to stop by.
The layout is simple. Choose from one of the freshly made cookies (ask for the freshest batch when you go in), choose a Marianne’s Ice cream supplement, and be off with a delicious dessert.
We had the chocolate-​dipped cookie as well as the Almond Joe, both of which were chewy and delicious. Not the best cookie I’ve ever had, but it can hold its own.
Best of all, they have great gift sets with fancy packaging. We snagged one as a gift for our Airbnb host – it was both thoughtful and affordable.

Distinguishing factor: The cookie and ice cream smell alone will attract anyone, adult or child, like bees to honey.

Delicious cookies at reasonable prices.
The cookies weren’t amazing but still pretty darn good. I assume they make a large batch of dough and bake them throughout the week. I was surprised by their selection. They had at least 10 – 13 different types. My favorite was the chocolate chip (real original) followed by the lemon drop. Mint chocolate was weak sauce.
Best part was they were only $ 1.10 a piece. They are on the smaller end which is nice since you can try a couple different types.

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I came in to the place to get a late night treat. We love their huge selection of cookies! My favorite cookie they make is a chocolate cookie with mint chips, yummy! The cookies are made fresh daily. Day old cookies are discounted. Prices are reasonable at about $ 1 per cookie. There are also cookie ice cream sandwiches — where you can pick your favorite cookie and ice cream for a delicious treat. I am yet to try one of them but I hope eventually to. There are also cookie ice cream sundaes.
Pros:
–large selection of cookies made fresh daily
–reasonable prices
–great group of staff
–open till late
Cons:
–Nothing!

The cookies here were alright. I mean, the flavor was good the the texture was off in my opinion. theywe justa little too hard for me, but hey, to each his own! If you like a crunchy cookie, hit it up! They taste great!

When traveling through Downtown Santa Cruz, my husband and I decided to stop in for a snack. We could smell the fresh baked cookie smell wafting from the open doors. When we got inside, we were immediately impressed by the massive amount of cookie options and that most of their cookies also are offered as dipped in chocolate. How can we resist more chocolate?! We selected the dipped peanut butter with chocolate chips and dipped white chocolate chip macadamia nuts. We were not disappointed. The cookie was baked fresh, crunchy on the outside with remaining warm and gooey on the inside. When I realized they offered a free cookie with check in on Unilocal,I bought some water to wash it down and the extra cookie to go was a great bonus. I would definitely stop in to check out this place. Next time I was to try the cookie ice cream sandwich!

Wow! For $ 1.10 a cookie, it’s pretty near impossible to leave here anything less than happy and satisfied. The aroma of the butter, chocolate and dough is just breathtaking — not to mention the 1 free cookie with any purchase with a Unilocal check-​in — total #WIN-​WIN!
All the cookies are delicious, buttery soft chewy centers, with a subtle crunch on the edge. Perfect and flawless, truly!
My favorites: Almond Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip, Ginger Snap, Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip w/​Walnuts. But for $ 1.10 each, you should just buy them all and throw a happy cookie tasting party!
Service is speedy and friendly. Easily one of the BEST cookie experiences ever!

Aw damn. My 300^th review goes towards cookies!
Pacific Cookie Company is located in downtown Santa Cruz. It’s along a street with a lot of other different shops and restaurants and parking is located all on the streets. Worst part? It’s metered every single day. What. I’ve never heard of that before. And there’s a lot of homeless people around which surprised me a bit.
Once you step inside Pacific Cookie Company, you’ll automatically be hit with a strong smell of sweetness. Like, one sniff and you can just feel your teeth tingle from all the sugar. The inside is a pretty decent size. Most of the space is for them to work than for people to sit down, but there’s still a few tables to sit at if you want to.
Their cookie selection is amazing. Usually bakeries only keep a few selection on hand, but in their case… It’s pretty packed. They’ve got flavors ranging from mint to white chocolate macadamia but to lemon so there’s a little something for everyone. And if cookies aren’t your thing then they got ice cream, too.
Service is alright. The workers will gladly warm up your cookies if you would like. One of the workers did that for me, but I didn’t feel like my cookie was warm enough. Oh well. I find that the cookie taste better when it’s cold actually, lol.
Overall, good cookies, but a bit too sweet for me. I took 2 bites and had to drink some water to wash it all down. Still a good place for cookies. Just drink water!
