Amazing cookies! This bakery is a family favorite, and we are sort of dessert snobs. They bake about 3 dozen varieties daily and they are all delicious. The most popular is probably their florentine, but I'm obsessed with the butter walnut cookies and mocha cream sandwiches. My recommendation: Pick up a dozen. They are all good, and only $1.50 each. read more

I was orginally on a cupcake mission, but this place had amazing cookies. I tried three different types and ALL of them were delicious! I feel like not enough bakeries have actual good cookies. This place rocks! The cookie monster would have a heart attack! yumm read more

This bakery smells like heaven and they have such an amazing range of cookies from which to choose. Seriously, treat yourself to anything that tickles your fancy because I'm sure it'll be good. The sandwich ones are especially our favorites because they melt in your mouth so nicely. We went through a box of these in a day and have no regrets. read more

Initially I went in looking for an oatmeal raisin cookie, but that's not an every day item. But the staff was great with helping me pick out alternatives. I went wanting one cookie, came out with four different types. read more

Cookies are wonderful! The brownies have been cut in half and cookies are little pricey.

was walking by when my nose was attacked by this wonderful smell. it was coming from Lakota. I didn't know I wanted a cookie. I made it about 20 feet from the shop and wouldn't you know I now needed a cookie. the girl at the counter was friendly and patient as I paced back and forth making my choice even more difficult. end up with a great peanut butter cookie with what I think had a bag of pb chips on top of it and a kind of almond butter cookie that had a huge dollop of real choc on top. ran across the street to the store and grabbed a milk and continued on to the bus stop. and then I think I blacked out because it was one of the best times ive ever had waiting for a bus in 30 something degree weather. great place and certainly a great place to pop in and grab something if ur gonna be a guest some place and don't want to show up empty handed. read more

Delicious cookies, but pricey. Some of the staff are very nice and some leave a little to be desired. A fun place to bring a guest from out of town. read more

OMG, these are the BEST COOKIES in the WORLD! I mean BEST!!! What the heck do they put in there???? So yummy!!! I can't even pick out a favorite, b/c all of their cookies are so good. I can't compare these cookies to any other cookies out there!!! Bit on the pricey side though. $1.50 per small cookie, but it's soooooooo WORTH IT!! You won't be disappointed!!! Only downside, they take Cash and checks only. Also, parking in the area is just AWFUL! read more

I could smell the real butter walking into this bakery. No credit cards taken. No better cookies in the world! Try the Big Macs.

I love, love, love this place. I've been eating their cookies for years. The atmosphere is so laid back you'd never know you're getting gourmet cookies!! read more

Lakota Bakery in Arlington deserves accolades for its Lemon Cream Sandwich (so beautifully delicate it get separate wrapping), Chocolate Cream Sandwich, Pecan Shortbread. Others, however, are either good (Mocha Cream Sandwich). acceptable (Chocolate Tuxedo, Walnut Crescent) or achingly sweet (Chocolate Vanilla Sandwich). We haven't tried the popular Florentines. read more

I'm an avid baker and I consider myself to be pretty good at it. When I'm being lazy I buy my cookies here and they are fantastic! I stay away from the biscuit looking ones but they are just not my cup of tea no matter who makes them. Order ANYTHING here and you will never be let down! read more

I love to bake and cookies are one of my favorite things to make. BUT Lakota Bakery's are so delicious that this is one of the few places I will buy cookies. Great variety, so something for everyone but we always end up fighting over the Linzer cookies, either strawberry or raspberry. The florentines are amazing too. Who am I kidding, they are all good! We have also tried their cake too, bought one for a birthday celebration and it was excellent, moist and delicious. As others have noted, bring cash. I'm glad I don't live too close to this bakery or I'd be in trouble. read more

Love this place and am lucky enough to live nearby so am frequently there. My son gives me a gift certificate from there every Christmas and I love being able to stop in to buy a couple at a time. They don't mind if you are just buying two cookies to eat on the run or a whole box to take to a pot luck or for a house warming gift. They are very patient as you stand there, overwhelmed by all the amazing choices, trying to make a decision. All the cookies are delicious, but I like the chocolate covered macaroons best. read more

World class! I always bring desert. And it always comes from Lakota. read more

The Best Cookies East of the Mississippi ! However, I've never been west of the Mississippi so they may even be the best cookies from here to Cali ! So many varieties, so delicious and perfectly located about a quarter mile from Gold's Gym whihc is where you'll need to go after downing a dozen. Some folks do jello shots at parties......we do Lakota Cookie Shots ! read more

Best cookies EVER! The staff is great - very helpful, polite and fun, even when it is hectic. Love, love, love Lakota! read more

Lakota's has an outrageous selection of cookies, I could easily eat a dozen. They are expensive for cookies, but the quality and the selection make it well worth the trip from Sudbury. Disappointing that they don't take credit cards. read more

This place have the best cookies in mass. I discovered it when I went to buy my vacuum next door the sales man offered me a cookie after a bite I noticed this is great, The vacuum sales man said go get some cookies , now have a great vacuum to pick up the crumbs so I got a great vacuum and best cookies in one shot , left with a big smile read more

Suffering from miminal kitchen skills, but a notorious sweet tooth, I cannot walk by Lakota without my eyes glazing over. Right next door to the bakery you can usually see an employee stirring a vat of cookie dough. I am on a first name basis with one of the co-workers and always purchase their butterscotch, almond shortbread, and lemon creme cookies. The butterscotch cookies have a sweet glaze with a slightly cripsy edge. And, while I normally do not eat anything lemon, the lemon creme cookies are fantastic. The only downfall is the price. But, they are definitely a tasty treat! read more

You will have died and gone to heaven when you eat a sweet treat from this bakery. Although expensive per cookie price the variety of cookies is UNBELIEVABLE! The sandwich cookies are so decadent. What makes these cookies so scrumptious is that they bake them the old fashioned way-NOT from prepackaged mix but straight out of your grandmother's cookbook. Real eggs, chocolate, and butter contribute to their heavenly goodness mouth is watering right now read more

Lakota Bakery is like that BAD BOY you love to hate. You know you will be thrilled, chilled, excited, overwhelmed and with you, too little is not enough and too much is painfully pleasurable! I LOVE YOU LAKOTA BAKERY!!! You are best damn bakery in Boston!! Great customer service that is professional at all times. Unlike that wretched Petsi Pies (BLECH, VOMIT VOMIT), you don't try to do too many things which keeps quality up, up and up!!! Every cookie is a masterpiece. I have never gotten anything bad, stale or not up to your impeccable standards. This is the only place to go for GREAT COOKIES!!! read more

I was VERY disappointed with the service when I went into the bakery. I've been here 3 times and each return trip I hoped for better / friendlier service. It never happened, I like to give shops and people 3 tries before I write them off and Lakota has had it chances. I found the girls ( one brunette, one blond ) to be rude and not very helpful. I felt like I was bothering them when I came in to by 2 dozen cookies and the price isn't cheap. I will NEVER return to this bakery and have told anyone who will listen to not even think of giving this establishment any business. It's sad because they do have a decent product BUT the attitude of the folks that work there left a bitter taste in my mouth. read more

Success!!! I was searching for a something to celebrate spring and Easter for an hospitalized friend. What a joy to collect cookies from Lakota for a special basket! Friend was overjoyed and on a serious sugar high!!! read more

The cookies at Lakota's are amazing! The macaroons are my favorites, both the chocolate and lemon varieties. If you go on a Saturday before a big holiday, be prepared for a waiting line. read more

These are the best cookies to be found, period. On the planet. I love to bake and I rarely eat bakery cookies because they generally aren't very good. But these are amazing. I love the mint chocolate and raspberry chocolate sandwich cookies; the macaroons are the best I've ever had; and the florentines are not to be missed. read more

Some of the best cookies I have tasted so far! You have to taste it once to believe it. My favourites are the chocolate macaroons (covered with thick dark chocolate) and the rum balls, but everything at offer is very good. read more

These cookies are gorgeous and so very delicious! We trek out for every birthday treat opportunity we have!

I was once a fan of this bakery but I have to say that it has really fallen off lately. I was there recently and the service was incredibley rude. I had just come from a politcal event so I was wearing a pin and it was absurd the way I was treated. I don't know if they are too good to serve republicans but they certainly went out of there way to make it uncomfortable for me. Politics should have no bearing on service!!! read more

Best cookies in the Boston area. They don't look different than other cookies at first, but the flavors and textures are great.

I am utterly perplexed by these 1 star reviews! These are truly the best cookies I have ever had. And I've had a lot of cookies. I bring them to my co-workers every December, and they mention them all throughout the year. I also have friends who have been bringing them to parties and family functions for years, and they consistently get rave reviews. I am confused on who would say the cookies had a fake sugar flavor. I knew someone who worked there for awhile and she said all of their ingredients are just simple real stuff. Just butter, sugar, and chocolate. That's how I like it! There is nothing about these cookies that tastes fake!!My favorites are the peanut butter sandwich cookies, and the chocolate macaroons. So, so good. There are often lines out the doors around the holidays, especially on weekends, so try to go on a weeknight. read more

Best. Cookies. Ever. Try the lemon sandwich cookies and florentines. You will be in heaven! Also incredible mocha cupcakes. Anyone who knows me will agree that I do everything in my power to refrain from using the word "moist", but in honor of their cupcakes, I will tell you that they are the "moistest" that I've had in a long time. Ugh, that was hard... read more

The best cookies in the world! Try the lemon macaroons, they are delicious.

Very good selection of unusual & tasty cookies. Staff could be nicer, but all in all it's a great little bakery.

The chocolate chip cookies are SO good.

I love this bakery. They clearly put a lot of effort and care into what they do. The cookies are all delicious, the pricing is simple, and the staff is always so friendly and polite. Not to mention it always smells delicious when you walk by. The only particular thing to note ahead of time is that they are cash only, but there's an ATM right across the street so it's never been a problem. read more

Delicious! I don't get here as frequently as I'd like (but that's probably best for my waistline!) but Lakota's cookies are fabulous. These are wonderful to enjoy with family, but I typically buy more when entertaining - and there's never a cookie left! read more

Lakota Bakery has some of the best desserts! Their cookies look great and taste even better. Everything is fresh and the staff is friendly!

The cookies do not make up for the poor service. It's a couple of cookie monsters behind the counter. Bakery version of the seinfeld episode with the soup guy... NEXT read more

I decided to stop in and try this place a couple weeks ago after reading all the great reviews it had from yelp. I loved how before I even set foot into the door, i could smell the cookies being baked and it really opened up my appetite. I tried an assortment of cookies which I would say were just OK. The one I really loved was one coffee flavored cookie which was creamy and amazing! I give it 4 stars because I only really like 1 cookie out of the 12 I tried but they do have a lot more and I might change me score once I try more of their flavors. read more
