Favorite cookies on the peninsula. They're always crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Favorites: Dark Choc & Smores. I crave these. There are usually teens working here. And they do a damn good job. One time, an older woman was lowkey yelling at them because she was unhappy about her order. Hey lady, you took the last of my fave cookies. I'm also unhappy! But they're kids... doing their best. My husband had to speak out and call her out for her poor behavior. Good job for keeping your cool, girlies. We saw you trying your best. read more

You think i would ever give this place a chance again? Our party was walking by just to window shop to see what the menu looked like through the window. The owner Sara looks at us with this nasty entitled look and shrugs. Ok you just lost sales from four curious customers who were trying to get dessert and cookies after our dinner. I dont even yelp but this incident was so off putting... After looking at all the reviews its clear to see it isnt the other employees fault its the owner Saras' fault for her empty store and failing business with her nasty entitled customer service for over 5+ years she still hasnt changed.. GET A CLUE LADY, customer service is just as important as the product. Do u think people want to feel uncomfortable going into a business wondering if the service is gonna be good or crappy today. Thats probably why she, the owner, is so crabby all the time shes run her business into the ground with her attitude and most of foster city knows of her bitter demeanor by now! As someone who lives in FC in this small city ive never heard a good word about this place and we all tend to talk about food establishments, the good ones, and which ones to try in our small city. Amazing this place is even still in business now that i see all the negative reviews, her edited responses and damage control from the owner. Too late damage been done apparently.. Didnt even make it through the door and this is my impression like all the others who actually did enter that domain lol.. avoid read more

I had been wanting to try these cookies and realized I would be passing by on my way home so I decided to stop. When I arrived the workers were nice and friendly so no problems there! They had the music blasting (I didn't mind since I liked the music) and the doors open so the atmosphere was nice. The cookies were a little on the pricer side but I was willing to pay, I thought they had a half dozen deal but they didn't have that anymore I was told, although it shows online still, so each speciality cookie was around $5.50. Total was $26. When I got my 5 cookies I was expecting more of a thicker cookie from the photos online but they were fairly thin and smaller than I thought. I think the pricing is typically $1/ oz and these were definitely not even 5 ounces. My husband and I tried them when I got and we liked the cookies and cream one the best! I also enjoyed the white chocolate macadamia but cookie. The Biscoff white chocolate, circus animal and chocolate chip didn't taste like much though! read more

I've had a few of their cookiez, my favorite being the white chocolate macadamia. I love their cookies, I always make it a point to visit every time I'm in the area. I love that the cookies are always warm and fresh. The staff are always pleasant too. read more

There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The place is small but has some seating. The workers can be alot more friendlier and welcoming instead of just staring at us when we walked in. The cookies were on the more expensive side. I appreciated how they warmed the cookies beforehand but surprisingly I would have liked it if it was more warm especially when I ate them right when I got them. The cookies were still enjoyable. My favorite ones were the Dubai triple chocolate and cookies & cream. read more

I went to Cookiez by Sara in the afternoon since I was craving a sweet treat. This place is located in a plaza. Plenty of parking in the area. When we walked in, the interior was very cute with the pink walls. There's a kiosk where we can order. I wish there were more ice cream flavors. There were just vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and the seasonal flavor which was like toffee and espresso. The seasonal flavor was really good and creamy, and it made me feel a bit more awake during my afternoon slump. I got the white macadamia nut cookie which came out warm, soft, and chewy. We didn't really interact with the worker, but the sweet treat was amazing. I would definitely come back during the work week for another cookie and ice cream sweet treat! read more

I've been here time and time again usually anytime I come across the San Mateo bridge! The cookies are a good size, decent amount of options to choose from. Small shop but inside is sooo pink and cute! I follow on Instagram to keep updated on any new flavors! Only thing that sucks is driving across the bridge. I believe they offer delivery or a delivery service but not 100%. read more

My friends wanted a quick sweet treat to wrap up the end of the week so we came here. The cookie was warm and delicious! I gave it 4 stars because it is a bit sweeter than I would've liked, but I do tend to like less sugary sweets in general. The texture of the cookie was delightful! I like the crispness but chewiness in a cookie. I really enjoyed the cookie. I'm going to come back to try the smores one next time! Service was quick and easy. You just order from a kiosk and in seconds you'll have your cookie! There is seating inside and outside the store. It's also near the lagoons so you can get a nice view too! read more

Yeah, there's Crumbl or Insomnia. And I still remember when Mrs. Field's reigned supreme. There was also Famous Amos - those were alright. And don't get me wrong there's a couple local cookie places (that deserve their own review if I haven't already written one) that are good but these cookies by Sara . . . without a doubt, are a real game changer. First of all, love the service. As I'm placing my order at the kiosk, someone from the back tells me, we only have one cookies and cream left. So I had to order it, right? I normally wouldn't (cookies and cream isn't usually my first choice) but I'm sure glad I did. The ambiance is a no-nonsense, order your food, and get going kinda spot - totally works for me. But these cookiez are it. Crispy. Buttery. Chewy. Flavors are superb. Quality ingredients. Not absurdly large but not too small either. Just the right amount of cookie where you savoring and simultaneously regretting that it's the last bite. Worth driving out to the middle of Foster City. Get at least 6. 12 if you trust yours truly. read more

Delicious cookies! I had the biscotti white chocolate (9/10), chocolate chip (8/10), and the peanut butter (8/10). I ordered through door dash and the cookies were still warm. Little expensive but worth the price. read more

Came in for a sweet tooth fix, and specifically the s'mores cookies. They were delicious!!!! They happen to just come out too, so they were still warm and the chocolate was melty but not overly melted which was perfect!! I also got a cookies & cream and a circus cookie one. The cookies & cream was good, but my favorite was definitely the s'mores one. I really like the slab of graham cracker cookie on the bottom, wish there was a bigger dollop of marshmallow but still a great treat. There's a rewards program, so that's good. Always nice when a business offers something for being a frequently paying / visiting customer. It's a little place but a couple indoor seats. Tucked in the corner or the plaza where luckys & Chevy's use to be. They have a couple ice cream flavors and beverages as well. I will definitely be going back soon for a sweets fix. read more

Just ate their TCHO dark chocolate cookie and it is excellent! Good blend of sweet and salty. Just happened to walk by this place and gave it a try. One of the better cookies I've eaten. Slow day here due to the weather. Service is good and friendly. Prices are a bit high but it seems normal nowadays for cookies. I'll be back! read more

Cookiez By Sara is always a nice treat! It's one of our top go-tos when we buy treats for our small office. I would take these pink boxes over any big chain cookie pink boxes any day!

Cookies by Sara is in the shopping center across from Osaka marketplace. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center. Service is friendly as they greet you from the kitchen area when you walk in. You order at the kiosk. There is a visual of cookies in the case by the kiosk. There is also a menu of various beverages and ice cream that you can order with your cookie(s). The cookies we ordered came out warm and boxed. We ordered the chocolate varieties. All were still quite sweet but really good paired with a nut milk, especially since the cookies were warm. It's a cute cookie cafe when you want a snack or dessert. read more

I've been here maybe 1 or 2 times before and I do like crispy cookies but this last visit was specifically for the dubai chocolate cookie and this was perfection! Shop was busy on a Sunday afternoon with the post lunch rush coming in. I was able to order my cookie and have it in had within a few minutes. Granted this is an expensive cookie but I can justify it as a treat once in a while. I hope Sara makes this permanent or keeps it until the end of the year because I want everyone to try this. I'm doing a series on dubai chocolate foods and this has been my favorite so far! read more

I'm not usually a big fan of cookies, but I suddenly had a sweet tooth and decided to treat myself. I happened to be near Cookiez by Sara and figured I'd give it a try. I ordered the white chocolate macadamia, cookies & cream, animal cracker, and oatmeal raisin. My absolute favorite was the cookies & cream!! It wasn't too sweet, had the perfect crust all around and a soft chewy center. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area!! read more

I kept driving by this spot and wanted to try it. The stars aligned the day I was getting my nails done. I asked my nail tech what kind of cookie she wanted--she chose the Dubai cookie (side note: the most I've ever paid for a cookie--$10!). She loved it. I got the s'mores, which was divine. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by. It's located inside a shopping center, tucked away in a small corner. They also sell Mitchell's Ice Cream! read more

I'm not a cookie eater, but this cookie place is local to me, so here I am. Their cookies are generally warmed and chewy, and you have the option of ordering with a person or on a tablet inside. They also offer delivery. They are pretty tasty cookies, though some flavors are overly sweet (usually the seasonal ones; red velvet was too sweet with a mushier texture so I couldn't eat it). The ingredients taste pretty premium, so I think these cookies are above average. I'm pleasantly surprised by the s'mores flavor, as the chocolate and marshmallow are melted with the cookie! They typically have several standard flavors in addition to a couple rotating seasonal. Sara also offers ice cream, coffee, and tea. For some reason I've always been served by a couple mean ladies who seem short and rather reluctant to answer questions. Whenever their male employee is at the counter, he's been very friendly and helpful. I recently had the pleasure of trying Sara's Dubai chocolate chip cookie, and I really liked it! It was the most beautiful cookie I'd ever seen. It was a mountain of a cookie with milk chocolate and pistachio drizzles, a ton of crushed pistachio pieces, edible gold glitter, and it was stuffed with delicious buttery kataifi and pistachio creme. It's a recent addition here for a limited time, and their quantity is also limited per day. I would typically expect this to be too sweet, but it's definitely well balanced in that aspect, with the semi-sweet chocolate chips and an expert calculation of ingredients. I'm giving them an extra star simply for their rendition of this trend. The Dubai chocolate chip was worth it, though the other flavors are a bit more expensive than what a cookie should be. read more

UPDATE: DAMAGE CONTROL?! 1. Did you not read my review? Nothing but constructive criticism based on the experience I HAD at your establishment of SARA's bad attitude and creating a very unwelcoming environment which in turn reviewing MY non-positive experience that goes against YOUR Brand Ethos on creating a positive experience. That there's opportunity on your end to RE-TRAIN staff on Customer Service. 2. PATTERN OF BAD ATTITUDE/BEHAVIOR is constructive feedback. Just from reading many other reviews from paying patrons, it is clear that there's a pattern of bad attitude on your ends it's not a one off. 3. No assumptions here just stating FACTS. Editing out YOUR nasty, unprofessional, immature rebuttals to customers' complaints here doesn't change the fact that you've made them. RECEIPTS (attached here) of each of your vial comments to paying customers. There's a RESPECTFUL WAY TO TREAT YOUR PATRONS. And, to add insult upon injury how to respond to dissatisfied customers. This ain't it. read more

BEST cookies on the Peninsula -- honestly, maybe the whole Bay Area! I've been here a handful of times, and every visit makes me fall in love more. Today felt extra adorable because I saw two teenage boys working -- whether they're relatives of the owner or not, I love seeing young adults being part of our working community! My go-to is the s'mores cookie, but just a heads up: if you come later in the day it's usually sold out (it's that good!). It's not overly sweet -- just the perfect balance. Tonight I tried the circus Animal Cookie (so cute) and the Dubai Chocolate cookie. Call me crazy, but I actually prefer their cookies cold -- the chocolate firms up a little and the texture gets even chewier. Heaven. What I love most is the flavor profiles: rich, balanced, and never overpowering like some cough "Crumbl/Insomnia" shops. They also offer a nice range of drinks -- milk, juices, water, even caffeine options. They serve ice cream too, which is a fun touch, but if you're already full from eating nearby, maybe stick to just a cookie so you don't end up like me... overdoing it with ice cream after dinner (It was delicious though -- just heavy after a meal!) I'll always come back here. I leave as a happy camper every time! Yes, the cookies are on the pricey side, but you can taste the quality and appreciate the craftsmanship. I'm not mad at it at all. read more

I am absolutely outraged by what I witnessed at Sarah's Cookies in Foster City. While I was there as a customer, I heard the owner call one of his employees a "retard." I was shocked and disgusted that anyone--especially a business owner--would speak to an employee in such a degrading and disrespectful way. There is no excuse for treating another human being like that. Watching it happen made me incredibly angry, and it completely changed my opinion of this business. I will never support Sarah's Cookies again after what I witnessed. If a business owner is willing to speak to employees that way in front of customers, I can't in good conscience recommend supporting that business. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and based on what I personally experienced, I chose to take my business elsewhere. read more

I wanted something sweet after our meal and this place was the closest. You can order at the kiosk or with the friendliest cashier. They have several different flavors and they all look amazing! The toppings on each cookie is so inviting. We opted in for 6: cookies and cream, smores, white macadamia, and chocolate chip. They also offer decaf coffee and ask how sweet I wanted it! The cookies were soft and buttery! So yummy even the next couple of days. The wife/husband duo have positive energy and are super friendly. I love that they offer catering and even mini cookies, if needed. Flavors were distinct in each cookie. Definitely would come back and/or order their cookies for an event! read more

I work at an A+ Japanese Auto Repair and a customer blessed us with a delivery of these delicious cookies!!!!! Usually I'm a boring chocolate chip kind of gal but the Oreo cookie KILLS! I was told that the smores is twice as good but was gone by the time I got word. Don't get me wrong the chocolate chip is to die for as well. Once I walked into the shop and announced cookiez by Sara were here I was almost trampled by technicians whom have already tried these delicious pieces of heaven. I called to compliment the employees over at Cookiez by Sara and I spoke with the nicest guy named Mike! He was so informative and professional. Don't sleep on these cookies, you'll always be skinny in your dreams. read more

What a mega disappointment. Every time I'm in the Bay I try to plan a trip out to Foster City specifically for these cookies. Before driving over, I called to confirm they had chocolate chip cookies in stock. The person on the phone said they did, so I headed over right away. When I arrived, they were completely sold out. I called the number back to make sure I had contacted the right location and mentioned that I had come from pretty far based on the information I was given. Instead of any sort of apology or understanding, the person I spoke with was incredibly rude and dismissive in her tone. Mistakes happen and things sell out -- that's understandable. But the way this was handled and the attitude I received were really disappointing. I used to go out of my way to stop here whenever I was in the Bay, but after this experience I definitely won't be making the trip again. No need to support a business that treats customers like UPDATING my review after seeing the business manager's response which unfortunately confirmed the level of professionalism here. Its like a child runs this business. Calling ahead to confirm inventory before driving over is "stuck in the 90s"? Interesting take. Most businesses would call that... customer service. Calling a business to confirm availability before driving over is a completely normal thing customers do especially for people visiting from out of town who may not even know that advance online ordering is an option. That's exactly why I called before making the trip. When a customer goes out of their way to visit/support your business and is met with that kind of attitude instead of basic courtesy, it leaves a pretty poor impression. read more

This is review is strictly for the Dubai chocolate cookie. Very excited to try the cookie however it was hard & crispy and the center wasn't gooey and soft like I had anticipated it. When I think of a cookie, I imagine a soft, chewy thick cookie & this wasn't it. For a $10 cookie I'd say try it if you'd like however, I was extremely disappointed in it. It was more of a thin crispy cookie with a middle pistachio kataifu filling that was dry. B+ for effort but not worth $10 sorry! read more

The cookies were good, but not particularly memorable (I'd rate them around 3.5/5). What really brings my overall experience down to 2/5 was my interaction with the owner (I think). I found her demeanor unnecessarily rude and dismissive. I'm not expecting exceptional service or special treatment, just a respectful interaction. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience, and it left a negative impression that overshadowed the cookies themselves. read more

Nothing better than fresh baked cookies. I was lucky that a batch was just coming out of the oven and as tempted as I was, I did let them rest another minute (and it was worth it). Only got the chocolate chip this time, to get a baseline, but will be back to try the others. read more

After seeing Grub with Mike post this place on his IG a couple times I decided to come try this spot along with his favorite flavor... the s'mores cookie. I also got oatmeal, Oreo, snickerdoodle and chocolate chip. It's a cute small shop with a nice outdoor view off to the side. (You'll see sitting outdoor tables with a view of the water). The cookies were hot and all smelled soooo good. I love love love that the cookies are not overly sweet. They have the perfect amount of toppings and sweetness.

These are absolutely thee best cookies !!!! You can't go wrong with any flavor. The quality is amazing. Just the right amount of crispy & soft goodness in every bite. Consistency and texture make the difference. The service by EVELYN is outstanding. I had a gift card /debt card that can be tricky to redeem. It took a few times to get it right but EVELYN was committed to figure it out. I came back another time and she was working. Had to teach DAVID how these darn things work. Great team effort and customer satisfaction. I wanted the other Sara to know she's hired great people. Please acknowledge their hard work ethic while you're away.
