The Brown Butter Cookie store is a cute storefront with a pistachio green and brown awning in Downtown Paso Robles. They have a prime corner location that practically begs you to visit simply for the nostalgia of it. Immediately upon entry, I was greeted by an employee who walked up to me offering free samples. The cookies are good! They are rich, dense, and everything you want in a shortbread cookie but you can tell the butter is not your typical butter. If you're not familiar with brown butter, it's something you have to try. It's rich, bold, and nutty. Which made the cookies rich and full transparency, it helped me to eat less cookies. I can easily down a dozen cookies on my own, but in this case, I savored them because they were on the dense side. The original Brown Butter Sea Salt cookies are the original flavor and most popular, but they also have lemon zest, which was a nice summer flavor. Not too heavy on the lemon and it had the base of the brown butter sea salt. I also had Chocolate Chip Brown Butter cookies. The chocolate is Ghirardelli chocolate. Other flavors that I didn't get the chance to try are Snickerdoodle, and Toffee Chocolate. They sell the cookies individually, in bags of 2, 6, a dozen, and gift boxes are also available. Prices are a bit steep at a little over a dollar per cookie, but totally worth it if you don't have the chance to eat them often. They have a website and you can shop online. Overall, this is a great cookie shop to stop in and treat yourself to non-ordinary cookies. The customer service was good and I'd stop in the next time I'm in Paso Robles.

Delicious and unique cookies in the heart of downtown Paso! I don't think Brown Butter Cookie could possibly have a better location, right across from the park and at a crosswalk, it's almost impossible to miss them. I first came in back in 2019 and really enjoyed sampling all the different flavor cookies they had. They had quite the variety and each one was tasty. Since Covid hit they stopped doing samples for a while, but on my most recent visit they were doing them once again! This time it was only one of their flavors instead of a bunch, but it was still good to be reminded on how good these cookies are! It seems like they don't have as many flavors as they used to, but they have some new ones that I don't remember seeing in the past, including a partnership with Ghirardelli to use their chocolate chips in some. I noticed they also have some more traditional classic cookies in addition to their specialty brown butter cookies.

Always have to pick up some cookies before heading back home. Always fresh and ready. Just your classic favorite and few others. Pop into for a little sample which always the best of whatever that maybe. The chocolate chip cookies are to die for. A favorites always.

A central coast go to. Setup in the very underrated downtown Paso Robles is Brown Buttee Cookie. If you've been to Cayucos then you are well aware of how good their cookies are. The original short bread is always top notch. The service at this location is great. The employees are always friendly. Stop by for something sweet.

While visiting Paso Robles this summer my sis and I walked around the quaint town and came across this store. Anything "cookie" oriented always catches my attention. Owner Traci introduced herself and told us all about the cookies. They make them on site and are available for delivery and/or shipping. The cookies melt in your mouth! I bought a stack for $20. It included 1 big chocolate chip cookie, 1 oatmeal, 1 lemon, 1 snicker doodle, 2 small round brown butter cookies and 1 small round chocolate butter cookie. Phoenix checked me out at the register and was super friendly. The inside of the store is very clean, organized with an open concept. A hot spot for tourists and a "must"' try if visiting the area. *Plenty of free parking in the area

I had never visited this location before, as we usually find Cayucos more convenient. However, this place is far more inviting. It's spacious and pleasant to walk through. The customer service was excellent. If you haven't tried their cookies, you're missing out--they are heavenly. I always bring a tower of cookies back for the family. My personal favorite is the salted brown butter shortbread. If you can't visit the store, they offer shipping to your home, so be sure to check out their website. The cookies are absolutely delicious. 6/24/24

These cookies are fresh literally as you're walking in. They are baking them, packaging them up and getting them back onto the shelves... This was our last stop before heading home .. we had several requests and we wanted to give them out as gifts. They are packaged so beautifully for the holidays each with its own bag with tissue. These cookies are no joke so be prepared to be addicted. They are so buttery and so yummy. They come in original chocolate and I believe maple. We bought the original and the chocolate and they are outstanding. They are located on the Square and Paso right on the corner. You cannot miss them. The staff are incredibly helpful and giving out samples to everyone ... These brown butter bakers were working overtime

Almond & original

This place popped up when I googled places to go in Paso Robles. Seemed like a good cookie place. I, myself sure love cookies so I was excited to try. While my mom and my friend went to get a massage, I came here lol I m not sure why these cookies were $1.50 a piece (bite size cookies). It was made with just sugar, salt and butter. The texture was somewhat dry. Also, too sweet and somewhat too salty. I felt like I was biting into a block of sugar. The almond flavor did make it better compared to the original. Still, I don't think I will get it again. It was a mistake purchasing 2 bags.. I need to control myself lol

Friendly staff and got a free sample. Bought a three pack of cookies (the cocoa ones). It was a bit pricey for how small the cookies are.

Black Sheep Sourdough Micro-Bakery is a small-batch shop in Paso Robles from Paula Kopper, a woman…read morewho only began baking two years prior to opening when her spouse developed gluten sensitivity requiring a change in diet. Previously operating her own daycare, test batches of Bread developed after an internet search often finding their way home with pupils and their parents, July 2025 finally saw Kopper open up shop at 1306 Pine Street where her goods now frequently sell-out daily. Working exclusively with a Sourdough starter named Dough-Rita, even Black Sheep's Cookies subject to traditional fermentation, guests now will find both sweet and savory treats alongside full loaves with clever names like "The Basic B" and "Mob Boss." Originally sold at the Paso Robles Farmers Market, opening of a storefront delayed as she relied on friends and family for everything from paint to plumbing, May 2026 now sees Paula regularly trying new things ranging from hefty Cinnamon Rolls to an absolutely stellar Sourdough Blondie that starts sweet and sticky before dissipating with an almost boozy sort of linger. Leaning into the "Black Sheep" name with some clever signage, a Sourdough "Cinny Roll" weighty beneath tangy Icing, those looking for something breakfast-y will note Scones and "Breaky Bombs," or their sweet brethren called "Lachee" filled with Fruit and Cream Cheese riffing on Czech Kolaches.

This place was absolutely worth the trip!…read more We were staying at the Marriott in Paso Robles, and although this bakery was a little farther than some of the other breakfast options, it was definitely worth the quick drive. The food was outstanding, the prices were very reasonable, and the service couldn't have been friendlier. We ordered three breakfast burritos--one with each type of meat--and every single one was delicious. It's hard to pick a favorite because they were all packed with flavor. The salsa was fresh, spicy, and had just the right amount of kick. We also picked up a Mexican pastry, which was the perfect way to finish breakfast. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly...even if they were Dodgers fans! As a loyal San Diego Padres fan, I had to give them a little grief, but they took it in stride and made us feel right at home. It's refreshing to find a place that serves high-quality food without charging outrageous prices. If you're in Paso Robles and looking for a great breakfast, this bakery should absolutely be on your list. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in town.

I'm on the hunt to find the best burrito around, which brought me to the north end of town early in…read morethe morning to check out Paso Robles Bakery. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito with added potatoes. To put it simply: it was amazing. Every single ingredient in this burrito works in absolute harmony. The melted cheese and refried beans hug the chorizo and potato. It is so hearty that after finishing just the first half, I felt ready to take on the day. Pairs super well with their home made salsa. The cashier was super friendly and the food came out incredibly fast. The best burrito spots always tend to be the most lowkey, and this place is no exception. The exterior is so unassuming that you would easily drive right past it without noticing, but it is well worth the visit when you're in town!

Funny thing is I found this shop by accident and I'm so glad I did. I was staying in Atascadero…read morelooking for a local coffee shop there and instead of hitting the one I thought was going to in my GPS, I accidentally hit Amstrdm instead. Even though it was a 15 minute drive up the freeway from where I was, it was worth every minute. The downtown area this shop is in was really cool, plenty of parking, and the moment you walked into this coffee shop you could tell it was going to be good. Lots of space, people sitting and having conversations, and a greeting from the Barista the second I walked through the door. I went with my standard iced oat milk latte with honey and a triple shot and it was perfect. I wish I could have drank it there because the inside of the shop seemed like a place you could hang out for a while. Unfortunately, I had to take it on the road, but that is a shop (if I lived in that area) I would drive out of my way to get to. Well done guys!

We ordered a latte, a breakfast sandwich, and the chicken pesto sandwich. The latte was enjoyable,…read morethough it tasted more milk-forward than coffee-forward. To be fair, we did order a latte, so that is partly expected. The breakfast sandwich was good but a little underseasoned and could have used a bit more flavor overall. The chicken pesto sandwich was the standout. The pesto was well balanced and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients, which made the sandwich really pleasant to eat. Overall, everything was solid, though slightly pricey for the portion sizes. The food was good, but nothing especially memorable. Still, it is a nice stop if you are in the area.
