Me: I'm not falling for the Dubai chocolate! I pride myself on never having Dubai chocolate!…read moreAlso me: this Dubai pistachio knafeh cookie is very good. I've walked by Cookie Chachi on the way to and from tennis a few times. It's located across the street from Portsmouth Square and though it offers no seating, looks very cute and there's plenty of outdoor seating options nearby. (Also it's so good to take to-go.) I picked up two cookies--1 Dubai pistachio knafeh and 1 toffee chocolate. Both were delicious--they were unique, with different spices and complex flavor. They were chewy and fresh, even though I didn't eat them/share them for a few hours. They didn't feel overpowering or overwhelming despite their large size. It's minority woman-owned and service was helpful and warm (just like the cookies!) It's a pricey cookie, but it's delicious and unique. It's not something I can make at home!

It's a super small location, and they clearly make the cookies elsewhere and package it in super premium packaging to sell for a premium price too. 4.5/5 Dubai Pistachio Knafeh was really nice and you could really tell all the flavors: pistachio, spin pasty dough, and the chocolate chip cookie flavor. It was on the doughy side, but pop it into a toaster oven for 1-2 min and it was as if you got it fresh from the kitchen! I'm very intrigued to the try their other flavors now that I had the one that was their best selling currently. It was a whooping $7, so definitely a premium place for just being a storefront where they sell packaged cookies, but it's clear that it's high quality!

The bakers and Christine herself provide great service. The ambiance is cute and simple I do like that they also sell some additional goodies like pottery, cloths, incense and matcha. I have tried other things like the Oreo cookie which honestly wasn't my fave I thought there would be more cream throughout the cookie to balance the dough. Their short bread cookies are a little thick for my taste but still yummy. We also get the dog treats and our dog loves them. Overall, definitely worth a try and they really have perfected the chocolate chip cookie. All of the sweets aren't too sweet, but sometimes I do wish they were a tad bit sweeter like the Oreo cookie or the sesame snail but the technique is there the texture is there. I feel like you can tell they are very thoughtful and care about what baked goods they put out on the table. I would highly recommend.

She recommended the Lemon Curd as she mentioned she loves lemon. I love lemon too so I had to purchase that. I was able to maintain some self-control and got a couple other cookies: Dubai and Banana Biscoff. Both the Banana Biscoff and Lemon Curd had a soft filling, while the Dubai had a crunchy filling. All cookies were delicious. They were such a big hit at home with my family. Cookies were not overly sweet and had wonderful texture: crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with bold flavors. What a neighborhood gem! I'll definitely be returning.

I saw no Yelp reviews had been posted for over a year, so wasn't 100% sure if it was operational, but their online order platform was active. Today, curiosity got the best of me, so I came over to give it a try! I ordered curbside pick-up of one cookie - the S'mores cookie. After about 10 minutes, one of the staff came out, called my name, & handed me my cookie. He was really warm & friendly which left me with a good impression. I got home & tried the cookie right away, and I can truly say this is a hidden GEM. For many sweet treat establishments, it's often convenient to label something as S'mores just because it has marshmallows & chocolate. But this bakery goes the EXTRA mile to get the Graham cracker layer on the bottom, and it SLAPPED! With the way the cookie was built, it legitimately tasted like I was eating a s'more!! This was 100% worth the indulgence. Love the whimsical cloud shape of the cookie, too. (Note: I warmed up in microwave for 10 seconds, then 6 more seconds, but the extra 6 was a bit much. I'd maybe just do no more than 11-12 seconds next time.) Also: there's not just marshmallow on top - it's also within from what I could tell! Can't wait to come back here to try more of the flavors.

The menu was as full of other really tasty sounding items though so I'll be back to try more. They were quick to get my order ready. You order outside and there isn't any seating so plan to stuff to go. The pretzel croissant was delicious. Very unique hybrid and I'd recommend it to anyone. The ham and cheese works well flavor wise but don't expect it to be as substantial as if you made a sandwich at home. I might buy some cold cuts and cheese, buy the regular pretzel croissant, and make a thicker sandwich at home. The Berliner was a fluffy, airy, sweet treat. In my opinion it was very balanced between pastry and jam. The price is very reasonable for the quantity and quality I received. Would go again.

Happy Holidays, everyone!…read more In coming to the Tuesday Ferry farmer's market in mid-December, I was happily surprised to see this stand (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=na1eiQiFSH58ZS-KlVuTQg). I immediately shared this with my friend who is a fan of this. There are various ways of enjoying this from the ones imported from Italy found in the numerous North Beach delis or fresh made locally made ones like this. During the holiday season, the bakery inside the Ferry Building makes a solid version with varying sizes. After finishing my shopping that morning, I got a text that my friend wanted to try this but their sign only offered a whole panettone (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=POsRMTAjtFMCuf5i03gMyg), the festive Christmas holiday pastry. In glancing at the display, I noticed that there were slices (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=md_NEV0e-D-NVlIKhvTfOA) available for $8.00. I bought one for my friend and one for myself. Wanting to eat this while fresh, I started picking bits of it in my car as I drove to my next destination. It was yummy, the soft and tender insides of the cake while the outside crust was garnished with a glaze with bits and pieces of almond slices. One slice was perfect for me in munching for two sittings. My friend was only so-so with it. If you are a panettone fan, you may want to give this a try. They will be here at the pre-Christmas Tuesday too. *** BTW, they were here today too.

I didn't quite feel like shelling out $60 for a whole one, so got a slice for $8. Panettone: I can definitely tell the difference with fresh. The inside dough was much lighter and fluffier. Almost a little eggy too. Really enjoyed the fresh flavor and texture. The top seemed crispier than imported, with the crystalized sugar creating a light shell on top. The only downside is that they seemed a bit skimpy on preserved fruit compared to the imported versions. But the candied peels and raisins I did encounter were yummy.
