Im a cookie person and tried their famous chocolate chip w/ walnuts and OMG it was wonderful!!

Gillian A.

My cookie craving led me here. Upon arriving, my sight went straight to the massive cookies that were inside the display case; they're huge!! Lol. Was a little overwhelmed with all of the flavors at first, but ended up getting the white choco cranberry, Oreo choco chip, and peanut butter choco chip. 3 for $5; sweet deal considering how big these cookies are. For the white choco cranberry and Oreo choco chip cookies, they were very hard and were a bit messy to eat as each bite made a bunch of crumbs; they may have been in the oven for a tad too long?? The peanut butter choco chip was a real winner though; chewy at the center, crispy on the edge, peanut buttery and chocolatey goodness. Definitely get that one if you stop by here. Overall, the cookies were a hit/miss for me. The staff was friendly and the place is small and cozy though; I went on a Sunday afternoon and there were locals dining in for brunch (they serve other food items here too). Parking was easy for me as some of the stores who share the tiny parking lot were closed at the time; parking might be difficult during the weekday.

We had lunch in IB today following a doctor appointment. I checked the website for Deb's Cookie Jar a few days ago and was pleased to see they would open at 1:00pm as that would be a perfect time to go after lunch. We arrived at Deb's a few minutes after 1:30 and even though the "open" sign wasn't on, I got out of the car and went to the door. Locked. As I was getting back into the car, the shop door opened and a man propped it open, yay! I went in and the man was handing something to a customer (apparently the cookie shop shares the space with a printing business). He glanced at me and I asked about cookies (the shelves were empty). He told me "she" would probably be there at 2:00. I get that some small businesses run them a bit more casually than others but it's just not cool to post hours on their door and online and then not adhere to them. This isn't the first time this has happened...one time I drove from Chula Vista specifically to go here. The others times, I was in IB for other reasons so it wasn't a big deal. If nothing else, why not show your hours as (eg) "1:00ish or 1:00or so." ? Anyway, I officially give up and the one star rating isn't for the cookies, which I've wanted to try for years, but instead is for the unprofessional way this business is run.

What's left of my giant breakfast bagel ...

I love this place. Deb always makes me feel welcome and takes the time to come out and greet me, no matter how busy she may be. This little family bakery makes the locals feel right at home, and the un-locals feel like they're locals! The cookies are HUGE. I usually get the regular chocolate chip, but today I went for the Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip, and the Blueberry White Chocolate Chip. Oh-My- Gah freakin good. Paired with the hot coffee & creamer, I'm in heaven. As usual, the cookies are fresh, and bursting with flavor- the butter... the blueberries, the dark chocolate, salted caramel ...with the slightly crisp outer cookie, then you bite into the soft middle. Just the right mixture of taste and textures to keep you coming back for more! Yes, I ate both kinds at the same time. I couldn't restrain myself. I originally came for a breakfast bagel this morning. I had the scrambled eggs, bacon, and pepper jack. Very good, and good size portions! Stop in here for your next sugar fix, or breakfast, you will not be disappointed.

Deb is quite possibly the nicest person I've met since moving here to California. I found her shop by accident while driving by one day on the way home. It's in an out of the way place. It's a small unassuming shop. The cookies are absolutely delicious and if you go in and you're wondering which one to try make sure that no matter what you try the one called the dark side. It's absolutely delicious and chocolatey without being too sweet. But even better than the cookies are her cupcakes. I haven't had cake this good in years. It doesn't have that heavy texture that a lot of homemade cakes have and her buttercream is light and I could literally just eat a bowl full of it. She's pretty much the best thing about Imperial Beach so far.

Butterscotch, black and white, and ... Who cares, they're all good!! (Plus I forgot because I ate them so fast)

Gary C.

Thank goodness for yelp! I came down to Imperial Beach to visit my parents in their new home and we were looking for food and the search results came up with this place and the high rating and the word "cookie" easily got me interested in checking it out. I was originally looking for a sushi or taco place but wanted to grab cookies before the place closed. After getting a glimpse and a whiff of the cookies and the rest of the menu I wound up staying. I saw the Deb's Massive Monte Cristo and thought "challenge accepted"! Ham, sausage, bacon, eggs, cream cheese, jelly, then more cheese inside two pieces of French toast :: drools :: amazing! I wound up splitting it to make room for the cookies which were also very fresh and delicious they sent well with the iced coffee. Service was fast and friendly and I could tell there were several people that were regulars there. I'll definitely be going back to try some other menu items and cookies!

Oreo cookie, almond chocolate chip with coconut, and chocolate chip

Anna Marie Y.

Such a cute store with a very friendly environment! MUST TRY the almond chocolate chip coconut cookie (which got featured in San Diego's magazine in November 2018) and the white chocolate cranberry!! I'm not a big fan of coconut and cranberry but the cookies was amazing! I also tried the white chocolate butterfinger cookie which is also interesting to try. They gave my friend and I free samples which was nice! We got a dozen and the good sir that helped us gave us two free cookies (: I really admire this business and excited to come back to try the different flavors of cookies.

Chocolate chip, PB m&m, Oreo, snickerdoodle

My Fiancee & I Simply Love This Place! Not only The Most Bomb Diggity Cookayz & Food, But The BEST PEOPLE WORK HERE! Example: When I moved here to Imperial Beach after getting engaged, I really was looking for a place in Imperial Beach that made you feel like Family. From the first time I visited to the last time I've left Happier than when I had arrived. Deb is So Honestly Polite & Melanie is a Breath Of Fresh Air! Anyways, Once again the Cookies or as we call them "Cookayz" are Bomb Diggity! The French Toast is Simply Scrumptious! My Fiancee loves a Croissant Sandwich with tuna salad! (IF SUPER HUNGY THEN TRY THE MONTE CRISTO! OMG!!) So if both you & your Family want to support a local Imperial Beach Bakery/Restaurant then Go Here! You won't regret it! Plus, you'll have The Best Darn Cookayz This Side Of My Momma's! THAT'S NO KIDDING!!! read more

Not only do they have yummy giant cookies, but a classic American breakfast menu. I never would have thought they'd have food options other than cookies! They have both breakfast and lunch sandwich items. I simply ordered bacon, hashbrowns, and eggs for breakfast. I also ordered their mixed coffee option, they mix their coffee with carnation milk, cocoa powder, and chocolate syrup. Coffee was yummy and the sweetness was surprisingly not overpowering at all. Deb's cookie jar has been open for about 2 years now, I would also see her family selling her cookies at the IB farmer's market and their actual shop is a great spot. Many locals grab breakfast here and are super friendly to everyone who comes to Deb's. Their seating inside is pretty small so I ordered my breakfast to go. I'll definitely be back for their lunch sandwiches. read more

I was across the street to grab burgers from swagyu and they just so happened to run out of brownies. I walked over to Debs to see if I could grab a dessert for dinner while waiting for my order to be made. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with this wonderful and enthusiastic lady. Turns out it was Deb! She was insightful and helped me pick out which treats to get! She had ran out of the brownies as it was late in the day & she didn't have to but she threw in a free cookie! Supporting a local business, and the wonderful costumer service would have been enough to bring me back in to Debs cookie jar BUT the cookies I got tasted great! Now I have three great reasons to come back and get cookies from Debs! read more

Swung by here the other day. Looking for something sweet cuz I had a sweet tooth. I walked in and it's kinda tiny inside the store. Some elderly gentleman greeted me and the baker lady in the back waved and said hi. I was looking at the menu 1 Cookie was $2 and if you get 3 it's $5. Mind you these cookies are huge. So I got three: snicker doodle, oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip. He ask if I had a cookie club card? I said no what is that? He said if you buy 9 single cookies you get the 10th one free. If you buy 9 dozen you get the 10th dozen free. Nice little cookie store beats going to nestle troll house cookies. Lol this is just as good and it's local. With that being said am gonna end this here. Thanks and take care! read more

Been coming to Debs since her last location on palm. My weekly routine was ice coffee from Debs before work every day during the week and on Friday I'd treat myself to a cookie or two. Love at first bite! The cookies are exactly what you'd want in a cookie. Big, chewy, never dry, and just plain delicious. When you make a cookie that good no theres no going back to any other. And thats just the sugar cookie. The chocolate chips are next level! Besides all the amazing cookies (and desserts!) Deb and family are just wonderful people. Always a smile always a "How ya doing" and even remembering names of customers to make them feel welcome. Debs is an Imperial Beach staple and you don't have to be local to get wonderful service! Give them a call and get some cookies. We all know we definitely need some right now. And since you're there why not pick up a couple authentic I.B logo t-shirts too. read more

So we have tried this Place out 3 times and felt it was time to Yelp. Pro's: - Friendly owners - $1 cookie of the day -Quick and attentive -Cookie size is now bigger -Now offering ice cream sandwiches (Thrifty Ice Cream. Vanilla, Chocolate, Green Tea) Cons: -Very few selections of cookies offered but you can wait 1 hour for a selected cookie flavor or pre-order. -Breakfast not always available. -Cookies are just mediocre. Sadly, Deb's cookies are not better than store bought cookie dough that you can plop in the oven. The cookie consistency is crispy, crunchy and airy. I prefer a decadent cookie to have some substance about it. Crunchy on the outside and a bit More dense on the inside. Most businesses that specialize in a product leave you wanting more...I can't say that about Deb's Cookie Jar unfortunately. I hope they are able to survive and Produce a cookie that will have me wanting To return. So I will give them a try in 3 Months to see if they've made yet another improvement in the quality of their cookie. I'm all about supporting a local business. read more

When we arrived in the strip mall, there was no one at the counter but I guess they have cameras or there is a sensor when someone comes in because eventually someone came out to take our order. There is only one thing to get here (at least that they are famous for) and it is their Senorita bread. I love taking that first bite when given to us because they are warm, sweet and fresh. Maybe not the healthiest thing to eat, but it is quite the treat! My daughter proclaimed it was the "best bread ever"! We loved it so much, we came back the following day when we checked out of our hotel so that we could enjoy it on the way home and share it with friends. Apparently there are quite a few locations in Southern California (typically with a higher population of Filipinos) but I had no idea! Parking is easy and plentiful.

Bakery Corner

I've driven past this Bakery Corner for years. It's right across from my gym…read more One day, I'm at home scrolling on instatok. Lo and behold, someone reviewed the place. The donuts looked amazing! I decided today was the day that I tried them, too. Please do not let the dated exterior (I spotted an actual public phone! Not sure if it's operational, though) or dated interior detract you, nor the hand written cash only signs. If you must, you can pay by zelle or venmo I believe. They have a small shared parking lot with Church's Chicken. It was easy to park in front of the business at 9am today. The gentleman behold the counter greeted me right away, and was very patient while I made my selections for a dozen donuts. I also decided to try their HUGE Jalapeno ham and cheese croissants. These donuts were fresh, fluffy, doughy and delicious. I tried the sugar, glazed, boston creme, maple bar, raspberry and strawberry filled donuts. Yes! They are all amazing. The croissant was also fabulous. Light, airy, flaky, buttery layers hid the jalapeno ham cheese filling in the middle. I didn't get too much jalapeno, but idc I loved the croissant anyway. I paid $29 for a dozen donuts and the two gigantic croissants. This place is old school- There were paper i. o.u's taped up beside the cash register...some had written the dates that they paid up for some items, so obviously this establishment has a loyal and trustworthy customer base and community relationship that is hard to find nowadays. I will definitely come back and perhaps pay it forward for some of those i.o.u's!

I do recommend that they cove the fronts of the shelves with plastic sheets to discourage flies. They also offer warm bolillos rellenos with a variety of savory eats, not to mention drip coffee as well. The baker is small inside, so it can get a little challenging on busy mornings.

Friendly staff. Affordable prices. Cons: the parking lot is a little sketchy so be careful where you park.

The last time I visited this business, it was still called Los Pollos Rotisserie and Cuban Bakery…read more That shows you how long it has been because House of Cuban Flavor has been the name for more than a few years now under the same ownership. It's located in one of the middle suites between an auto parts store and a supermarket in an Otay strip mall of Chula Vista. Parking was plentiful as there were way more spaces in the lot than customers even at peak hours. There were a few tables placed on the sidewalk in front of the suite, but no seating was available inside. The coffee making station was to the right when you walked in. To the left of the service counter were glass displays containing the baked goods and desserts. Four small menu boards hung behind the counter. From left to right, the category on each board was Sandwiches, Cuban Specialties, Plates & Combos, and Bowls. Several trays in the display case were empty during my afternoon visit. The cashier ensured me that nothing was sold out. Items that were not displayed still could be ordered and made fresh by the kitchen. The Cuban Specialties were broken down further into Stuffed Potato Balls, Empanadas, and Pastries. Each offering cost $2.45 regardless of its composition. That was disappointing because I have encountered similar bakeries in which there were similar choices for less than $2 apiece. My order started with one of each of the potato balls (meat, spicy chicken, jalapeno & cheese) including a variety that wasn't listed (spicy pork). These were fried and then placed inside a cardboard takeout container. Each of the four had a slightly different color and/or texture to distinguish them from each other. The size was slightly smaller than a tennis ball. The meat filling was my favorite because it had the least heat as the other three contained noticeable spiciness. I also bought a meat empanada, a guava pastry, and a mango & cheese pastry. The pastry dough was light and flaky. The portion size was less impressive for $2.45. I recall when some of these were sold for one dollar less so the value has decreased over time. The fruit flavor of the guava and mango respectively was sweet but not over the top. For this recent experience at House of Cuban Flavor, I gave a 3.5 star rating.

The Flan was heart-shaped and made with the utmost love, care and precision. This dessert topped a rich, smooth chocolate cake, with a coating of miniature heart-shaped flan cut-outs, generously-sized strawberries and raspberries each dipped decadently in chocolate and placed upon the cake with the deft skill of an artist's eye. ...And, to top it all off, this gorgeous Flan was dusted with flakes of edible gold!! It was truly a rare work of beauty, a diamond of the first water, with the most decadent and rich flavor to match!! I had never tasted a flan set over chocolate cake before. The raspberry filling really brought together moist cake and creamy Flambe for a whole new level of sweeeeet. I savored every bite, really a superior Flan!!

He was the only one I knew of in San Diego doing maple bars as eclairs -I'm so sad that I haven't been able to find that anywhere else. Some honorable mentions were the donuts holes, the old fashions, and the crullers. The service was always polite, warm, and familial -this guy knew and remembered his customers, even if not by name. The reason I found out he sold it and retired was because he saw and recognized me walking the pier in IB :D He and his wife were always welcoming, like you were a family member visiting for a snack and a good chat. The place has generous seating available, always clean and never dirty or messy, and is in a prime business lot at the intersection of IB Blvd/Coronado Ave and 13th Street. I've only been back once since the place was sold and I wasn't really into the flavors offered at that time, plus they were no longer offering the maple eclairs.
