    Pink Lady + Pumpkin
    Wendy G.

    Stopped by here during a post-dinner walk. I'm a cookie fiend, but have been let down at other SD cookie spots more than once due to their focus on style over taste and non-homemade, uniform consistency. Batch & Box stands out above the other cookie chains. The flavor combinations are interesting, you can taste fresh fruit and creative textural elements, and the cookies appear handmade. The cookie texture itself is somewhat odd - - thick, a bit dry in some spots and moist in others but at least it doesn't taste mass produced. The Pink Lady, featuring strawberry chunks and white chocolate swirls, was my favorite followed closely by the zany, marshmallow topped pumpkin chocolate chip cookie.

    Out front of the store, in the plaza, so it's a good identifier if you are new to the area on where the store is located

    During a girls trip to San Diego, for a concert, we stopped to eat an early dinner before arriving at the venue. After leaving dinner, the group agreed we needed "just a little something sweet". Several in the group wanted ice cream, but I am a sucker for a warm gooey cookie and happened to see Batch & Box. I can pass up ice cream any time but not a good cookie. While I waited for my friends to order their ice cream, I watched a steady stream of customers go in and out of this cookie store. Although I had never heard of this place before, I could tell they are a big hit in this area. So I jumped in line and was so happy I did! It is hard to tell by looking at their cookies that they are soft and gooey inside because they are a thick and tall mound of a cookie. No thin, flat cookies here. But trust me, if you like a soft cookie with melting chocolate bits/chips/morsels this is a must get when in the area. I am a big fan of an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and their Oaty Chip is in my top 3 of all time. Despite its heaping mound of dough, this cookie is NOT raw inside. The rolled oats, dark chocolate morsels (not semi-sweet) and sea salt is decadent. Two of us shared this cookie and the sounds of delight coming from our mouths was almost inappropriate! We had melted dark chocolate all over our fingers and the cookie was so soft that I couldn't safely get my phone out to take a picture. I was not going to drop any cookie bits. Although the cookie experience did not last as long as my friend's ice cream, it was by far, the best sweet treat ever! My only complaint is there is not a Batch & Box in my area.

    The Classic x2, The Doodle, The Oaty Chip, The Pink Lady, and The Sugar
    Elisa L.

    We got half a dozen for $25 and tried The Classic x2, The Doodle, The Oaty Chip, The Pink Lady, and The Sugar. All were tasty, thick, and chunky. Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside and they don't skimp on ingredients! My favs were the Pink Lady, as you can really taste the strawberries and it was a good amount of sweetness, and the Doodle, a classic snickerdoodle that wasn't overly sweet. We came on a weekday evening and were in and out quickly. Cookies were still fresh and moist the day after.

    Cute and cozy cookie spot! Came on a weekday evening and it wasn't too busy but I can imagine how packed they can get during peak hours! We got a half dozen for around $25, and chose the Classic x2, The Doodle, The Oaty Chip, Pink Lady, and The Sugar. Of them all, my favorites were definitely the classic and pink lady. All the cookies are THICK and chunky, and have a crispy exterior with a soft, chewy interior! Some were a bit softer and sweeter than I prefer. They still tasted fresh the day after

    Old review: taken nov 2020 The doodle: Omg. This was amazing!!! I love the bits of cinnamon sugar morsels inside. Reminded me of apple pie without apples. The lady: I love the raspberry bits in this. Tastes like a raspberry cheesecake. Would taste better w dark chocolate imo. I'm biased though. The Julian: Amazing! Apple pie in a cookie!! Cinnamony and delicious. Pumpkin spice: Pretty good. The white choco chips are a little overpowering though The sugar cookie: The frosting tastes like cream cheese and overpowers the cookie. The cookie is nice and soft though. The wonder: It's good but I think I would like classic better. Cocoa PB: This was good but the peanut butter flavor is strong.

    Small, cute, and very clean cookie shop. The employee was super friendly and offered us samples. I ordered The Pink Lady cookie and it was delicious. It was perfectly sweet with strawberries and white chocolate chips throughout. The cookies are a great size and definitely indulgent. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more flavors!

    such a cute cookie store. I came here a while ago actually before the rage of crumbl came out and this did not disappoint. it is insanely sweet so have a glass of milk or something. service was quick and friendly but there are so many decisions so try to make your mind before you get to the counter!

    Dubai chocolate cookie! A few dollars more expensive than the regular cookies. Looking forward to trying it!
    Alyssa S.

    Tried their new Dubai chocolate cookie. $2 more than a regular cookie. Rich, dense, lots of pistachio flavor. It was tasty and fun to try - but ultimately I think their regular chocolate chip cookie is more satisfying. Glad they had something new and I got to taste it; just doing the same old stuff all the time is boring. But the Classic is classic for a reason!

    Gluten free chocolate chip cookie
    Nicole Erin B.

    The cookies at Batch & Box delicious and gourmet. The gluten free chocolate chip cookie is soft, buttery, and stuffed to the max with chocolate chips. I appreciate that the gluten free cookies are wrapped separately to prevent cross contamination. The shop is small mostly used for pickup but is modern and clean. I do wish sometimes there would be a different flavor for the allergen friendly option because I'm jealous of all the other amazing flavors my husband gets to try!

    Pumpkin s'mores cookie
    Perla R.

    Batch & Box cookies are amazing! I was excited to try the seasonal pumpkin s'mores cookie they came out with this month and it did not disappoint, it was delicious! The regular s'mores cookie they have in the summertime I think may be one of my favorites ever but overall every other flavor I've had have also been yummy this is definitely a cookie spot to try!

    Celeste C.

    I was looking for a gluten free desert for my friend. Unfortunately she's also allergic to nuts so she wasn't able to get anything since it was made with almond flour. I still got a few items. The cashier girl was nice and give me options but personally I wasn't wowed. The Dubai chocolate brownie was so small literally just a bite. The strawberry and cream cheese cookie I felt wasn't cooked well enjoy because it kept breaking down into pieces. I give it 3 starts because it is really cleaned and people we were really nice.

    Stephanie O.

    I've never been to Batch & Box before and now I definitely will want to try their other flavors! While I'm skeptical of a pricy cookie, these are better than their other cookie competitors. I can see why it was busy on a Sunday night! We picked up the chocolate and peanut butter chip cookie and oat and chocolate chip cookie. Both were perfectly baked inside and out and a thiccc cookie! I hope I'll be back in the area for another cookie soon or will need to find a location closer to my place'

    This is an elevated cookie shop located at the corner of Del Mar highlands near Jimbo market. It's right next to Handel's Ice Cream. It's perfect, cookies and ice cream! The decor is modern minimalistic. The place is clean . There's a large window to see inside their kitchen. Person who helped me was very patient. She went over the entire list of cookies they have. Only certain cookies are warmed up. Otherwise, they come out cold and hard. I got the seasonal Tiramisu cookie. While it was 2 cookies with a filling, it was hard. Perhaps I could've waited for it to be at room temp since it had just come out of the fridge. For the price I paid, I thought it was just OK. My son got the doodle warmed up and it was pretty good! I will say that they put the cookies in a nice box. Presentation was on point!

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

    It's an about time I post my true feelings about Hinar... and it's nothing but AWE. I consider…read moremyself a true matcha connoisseur, and can be pretty picky - I consider this one of if not the best matchas I've ever had. Considering all matchas in this area are so pricy, if you're spending money you want it to be worth it- and trust me this one is. I encourage you to try the earl grey with earl grey cold foam - the only downside is it is seriously addicting. I will say the ham and cheese croissant is pretty good, but a tad overpriced, but as is most things in SD. Service is always great and fast, and this is also a great comfortable study spot. As for desert, I think the photo speaks for itself. Amazing. Truly cant recommend enough :)

The crowd will come and go, so there's some moments of reprieve if you're considering this spot for reading/working. My "low" rating is because I feel quite mixed about the quality of the consumables. I really enjoyed my orange blossom latte. They accommodated a decaf shot for me, given how late it was in the day. I got a sesame raspberry cake to go, planning for it to be a nice dessert treat for dinner. The mini cake tastes like sesame, and the thin spread of raspberry was nice to break th creaminess. So while it tastes really nice, I was let down by the uneven raspberry taste and since it wasn't enough, the cake turned out to be too sweet when I got to the second half. Maybe this is a quality control issue, but I'm not sure I'll get another $12 mini cake from them any time soon.
