Stopped in after having the best pizza of my life (Una pizza napoletana) and didn't expect to follow it up immediately with the best cookie I've ever had, but here we are. The chocolate chunk was a great first bite - the molten chewy inside was absolutely incredible and I didn't think it could be topped. Then I had the bueno bueno. The Nutella and cookie dough center was unreal. Probably the most delicious dessert I've ever had. I will say the dark chocolate caramel smore wasn't quite as lava-like, but wow these cookies were amazing! read more

Pricing is pretty high in 2025 for a cookie. Below is the pricing over the years. $5 - 2020-2022 $6 - 2023 $7 - 2024 $8 - 2025 It is nice and thick but a bit too decadent for 1 person. I also dont think it worth it for $8. Thats like the price for a meal!! It is bit too sweet for me. read more

Gooey On The Inside 163 Chrystie St. New York, NY 10002 Nutella Cookie The contents of the nutella cookie was too sugary and overbearing in taste. The cookie was undercooked, which resulted in its gooey texture. My preference is to have cookies in their original form. read more

Three stars. Period. While I commemorate the owner for gaining traction amidst the blooming NYC cookie scene , I can't say Gooey on The Inside stands out from the lot. That noted, I give them credit for presentation and creativity. From croissant-cookie-ice cream sandwiches, molten cookie mason jars, to the four-ounce, thick cookies, you're definitely being enticed to splurge...perhaps that's where the allure here ends... These cookies do not feel like a sugary splurge; if anything, my palette felt underwhelmed. What is suppose to be a "gooey on the inside" experience is really just an undercooked cookie that, somehow, is simultaneously grainy. Additionally, no ingredient particularly stands out from the chocolate chips to the cookie dough. Some other draw backs. No coffee. I am one of those people who swears by coffee and dessert, and a good cup of Joe might have actually improved my tasting experience here (ironically, there are coffee mugs for sale on the counter). Also, the pricing is a bit steep; I get that they're competing with the NYC staple Levain and Funny Face Bakery a few blocks down, but come on...$8 for a cookie is a bit exaggerated, especially for one that doesn't really deliver a bang for the buck. The service is a hit-or-miss. No one counter person is particularly welcoming but they're not rude, either. A lukewarm experience through and through. read more

A colleague mentioned this place when describing that it's located in a basement. It's a takeaway place--probably could fit three people max. I knew I wanted to try the chocolate chip because...well...it's a place that sells cookies. I had to try the chocolate chip cookies. I asked the employee what other cookies did he suggest. He mentioned a few and I decided to try the birthday cake cookie. They were $8 each so it was kind of a splurge but they were very good. The employee said that I could put it in the oven at 350 degrees for less than 10 minutes. I popped them in the air fryer for 2 minutes. I would go back and try some other flavors. read more

Came for the cookie happy hour, even $5 is still a lot for a cookie but seems to be the norm now. Got there a little before opening at 4pm as was in the area, they didn't open exactly at 4pm, took them a couple minutes. We said we were only going to get a cookie each but ended up with 4, should have just got a cookie each. I can't even remember what we ordered, s'mores was one of them. They give you your cookies in a to-go container, not a proper bakery box - the cookies are soo undercooked and gooey, the container became a mess, the cookies balancing on other cookies, hitting the roof of the box. The box ripped, no bag - was walking around the city like an idiot with this box. Tbh didn't even enjoy the cookies, as said they are soo undercooked they can't even hold themselves up. Total mess eating them and they were dry, the actual cooked part of the cookies were dry - had you grabbing for water. Won't be coming back. read more

Always love this spot. Just hits. Cookies always better medium rare. Hope they keep expanding.

The smell alone of Gooey on the Inside is worth the visit. You walk in and even if you didn't want a cookie the aroma will entice you into buying one. And you will not regret it- the cookie with Nutella (can't remember the name) was worth every calorie. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered the Dubai chocolate cookie and the chai snickerdoodle. They were both warm when they arrived by the delivery driver and packaged nicely. These are two flavors my family loves but none of us actually finished our cookies. The cookies were just okay in my opinion. I don't have any known allergies but while eating the chai snickerdoodle my skin became very itchy on my face and arms. It was strange. I stopped eating it less than half way through because I didn't want to make things worse. I would be okay with trying other flavors in the future but I wasn't a huge fan of the two flavors I ordered. read more

I had the pleasure of trying Gooey on the inside recently and honestly the cookies have been on my mind ever since . Not only are the cookies absolutely delicious it's so cute and cozy inside . The owner and employees are super friendly and helpful giving full instructions on how to reheat the cookies properly and recommendations if you're feeling confused . That matcha white raspberry cookie will live rent free in my taste bud memories forever !! read more

I unfortunately cannot rate this establishment higher than 2 stars because of the unrest this caused my stomach. Almost immediately after consuming, a feeling of queasy uneasiness descended upon my body that didn't dissipate until the morning after. I wished for the best and, unfortunately, did not experience anything close to my expectations. The Chocolate S'more cookie also lacked flavor in certain bites, possibly because others contained a sugar overload. read more

Stopped into gooey on the inside for a late night treat. Got myself a chocolate caramel smores cookie. I walked down the small stairwell and entered a small store with nothing more than a counter to serve customers up some cookies. The front is small because there is loads of cookie baking craziness going on in the back. Ovens, racks, doughs all sprawled out. It is wonderful. There was only 1 worker present and they were definitely stressed. Running around in maximum overdrive. I can always appreciate an employee that is overwhelmed, but still prioritizing the customer. Now, for the cookie. They serve their cookies warm because the center is supposed to be underbaked. So, they do not recommend eating them cold. These things are dense. Thick, gooey, and chewy. The cookie had a melted marshmallow atop with a gooey, caramel center. Some really solid ingredients, but the cookie did not knock my socks off. It was good, but certainly not the best I had while in NY. All in all, a decent cookie. But, I would probably roll with a regular chocolate chip next time! read more

$7 for a cookie seems pricey, even for NYC. But if you stop in between 2-6 on Tuesday-Friday during 'Happy Hour,' you can enjoy Gooey on the Inside's cookies for only $5 each (the four-for-three deal still applies). I love that this place has a variety of cookies but that the menu stays consistent from week to week. The only change is that Gooey offers a Cookie of the Month that changes. The Bueno Bueno was my favorite -- a rich combination of cookie and Nutella. read more

Walked by and saw a sign pointing down some shady staircase for cookies (I know how it sounds...) After heading down we arrived at a small tight storefront greeted by absolutely no one. Eventually a staff member came out and we asked what the flavor of the month was. He mumbled "there's none." He wouldn't clarify if it was sold out or what it was. We ended up getting a bueno bueno cookie and a red velvet cookie. A whopping $8.71 per cookie and it was nothing special. The staff member was also more interested in chatting with his colleague about a new hat they had bought than finishing up our order. I should've followed my instincts and avoid shady staircases for desserts in the future. Edit What a salty reply from the owner, no wonder this place is trash lol. Why don't you focus on improving your store hospitality or your product instead of trying to make witty replies to reviews. Don't waste your time with this store, especially when there's tons of better, and cheaper cookie spots. Go to Levain, chip city, insomnia cookie, or literally anywhere else. read more

I had 2 cookies and was completely blown away. Small shop, great customer service! Some of the best cookies in NYC.

Hear me out, THIS IS BETTER THAN LEVIAN and Y'all can fight me. I don't care!! I had this place bookmarked for my NYC trip but it wasn't on my itinerary but we stumble on this place as we were heading to Washington Square park. Now we didn't even see the Happy Hour sign until we got in and let me tell you...WORTH IT!! $4.00 each and limit is two, so you bet your sweet tooth I got two and my friend got the other two. It's a cramp place downstairs but we got here before the rush because after we paid and was about to head back upstairs, there was already a line out of the door. Came at the right time and he even warmed up the whole box of cookies. It was gloomy out, and that cookie really made my day as we were headed to the park. Packing was really good, the other box is wrapped up and still good after a couple days (I place mine in the fridge when I got home, and when it was time to head back to CA, I just added into my luggage.) Still good and gooey. Thank you for the worker who took our order, and went above and beyond to packed our cookies. It means alot to me cause you know how TSA can get. p.s. Levain is overrated, yall should go here. This is the SIGN. The sign you're asking right now. GO here. read more

It is a small set of stairs down from ground level and hot inside. There are some cookies inside the display on the far side from the entryway. The kitchen can be seen from the front of the shop. There were a few people before me and one man working. He'd take an order then go to the back to pack it up before bringing it to the front and ringing the customer up. Line went pretty quickly. I happened to be there during their cookie HH so they were all $4 for such big and gooey cookies. Limit 2 per person. He wrapped each cookie with wax paper and placed them into a thin cardboard box which was then covered in saram wrap. The cookies themselves were indeed crunchy on the outside and ooey on the inside. The texture is more like a cookie dough, i did wonder if it was fully cooked but i think thats how the cookie was intended to be. 2/5 Smores - so much cinnamon that i was not expecting. The marshmallow topping was very tacky after it cooled, made it slightly messier to eat. I didn't like this one that much personally. It was more reminiscent of a snickerdoodle cookie but with chocolate. I didn't get a smores profile from this 5/5 Bueno - delicious. The chocolate, hazelnut, and cookie were so good together. Moist but still crunchy and had the creaminess from the hazelnut center. Would get this again. I think about this place whenever I'm in the area. Heard they're open late, might be nice to grab a cookie after a night out if I'm nearby. read more

This place was so close to our hotel and I was in the kiddo for something sweet! It's easy to kiss this little business, as it's in a lower basement and has an entrance that's sort of hidden. Look for the sign! I got a few cookies and the party cookie one was my favorite. It had sprinkles, which I can't say no to! The inside was super soft and I really enjoyed it. The s'mores cookie wasn't the best. The marshmallow stick to the wrapper and it didn't taste like s'mores to me. It tastes pretty much like a chocolate cookie, which is not what I wanted. My partner really enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie! Try this place is you want a yummy giant cookie! The prices are too expensive though. read more

On a trip to NYC and staying in the Lower East Side, and my family was craving some cookies tonight. Found Gooey on the Inside on Yelp and it was the perfect spot! It's a tiny little takeout place in the basement, and they had about 10 different flavors to pick from. We got two to split among the 4 of us and it was the perfect amount. The Bueno Bueno was our favorite! read more

So this was actually the worst cookie I've ever had. I've definitely had store bought and box mix cookies that have had more flavor than these. And honestly after my first bite I wish I had gone to insomnia or crumble instead. It tasted like a warmed heap of flour, and as a baker myself it lacked everything a cookie needs like: vanilla, salt, the sugar aspect, and decent chocolate. Never in my life have I ate a cookie that actually made me crave sugar or something with flavor. Overall this cookie, if you can even call it that, lacked the depth to be worth almost $10. Save yourself a trip and find somewhere else to get a fix for your sweet tooth. read more

If disappointment had a flavor, it would be whatever this cookie shop is serving. Imagine paying premium prices for cookies that taste like they were baked by someone who lost a bet. I bit into one and had to double-check that I wasn't on a hidden camera show. Seriously, if you're a tourist and tempted--don't fall for the trap. Just go to Levain and experience what a cookie should taste like. These guys are charging for cookies like they discovered chocolate chips themselves, but honestly, I'd rather eat the packaging. read more

stumbled upon this place on the way from dinner. it's located on the baement which is easy to walk pass without noticing. There are a lot of options of cookies and other cookie jars. I had the Bueno Bueno which has hazelnut filling. it's a bit too sweet to my taste but it's really good if you love sweets. they heat the cookie up so you can enjoy it warm, but i wish they asked because i was going to take it home to eat next day. but it was heated and the cream got on all over the bag. I'm not sure if it's my favorite cookie spot because it's a bit too sweet for me. but they are definitely great cookies. read more

Ok, ok, finally gave into the hype, saw this on Social Media...and after lunch nearby decided to stop in. The options all looked great and I almost wish we would have had them warm up the cookies...however we weren't going to eat them right away. The gentleman working there gave a card with instructions on them to warm at home and they were delicious! One cookie can definitely feed 2 maybe 3 people depending on which one you got as some were more decadent than others. I'd go back to try some of the seasonal cookies. Cute basement location that had one person working that we saw and plenty of choices. read more

My sister, husband, and I went on our own small NYC Cookie Tour. We stopped at a bunch of places that we've been wanting to try. Gooey on the Inside was the 11th stop on our cookie tour ( but more like 14th because Michaeli and La Mercerie were out of cookies and Best Damn Cookies was closed). The cookies here were EXPENSIVE. The cookie was indeed gooey on the inside, super thick, and tasted like cookie dough. It was just too... underbaked seeming. Maybe I'm not as big of a fan of gooey cookies as I thought I was. It was good, don't get me wrong, just not my favorite for $7. This was our list of places we tried: L'ami Pierre Culture Espresso Daily Provisions JM Bakery Seven Grams Butterdose Librae Funny face Levain Maman Gooey on the inside We also stopped at these places, but they were out of cookies by the time we got there.

Made it for happy hour! It's a no frills cookie joint. Essentially a large kitchen space with a small counter when you walk in. There were already a few people on line when I got there around 5 on a Friday. You are limited to two cookies at the happy hour price of $4 then the cookies are $7. I tried the chocolate chip, the matcha with white chocolate and black sesame seeds, and the double chocolate caramel s'mores. All were good! The s'mores didn't really seem to have much caramel though. Definitely worth going back at happy hour to try more flavors and pay $4. Paying $7 seems a bit steep. read more

Such a cute spot and the cookies are so tasty! The title is very accurate, the cookies melt in your mouth. It's expensive for a single cookie but it's so large and heavy you can easily split between 2 people. I can see this not traveling well because the appeal is the "gooey" cookie. Place is super small, no seating but service was quick read more

I saw on social media that they had happy hr on Cookies. After a long day, a cookie would be a great treat. For happy hr you could purchase 2 cookies. I purchased the cookie of the month Red Velvet & the Chocolate Chip Chunk. I liked that the directions on how to heat & store the cookies are on display. They take care in wrapping your cookies. These cookies are the best cookies I've ever eaten! I liked the red velvet cookie better. I froze the chocolate chip cookie. When I reheated it, It needed 7.30 minutes in the oven. I will definitely visit again. read more

Gooey on the Inside is definitely a place to indulge your sweet tooth. You step down into this place and your olfactory senses immediately pick up on the sweet indulgences awaiting you. Your challenge is to figure out what you want among all the offerings divided among cookies, gowee cookie bites and jars, the latter a rather complicated molten cookie in a jar at double the price. Having just come from Wah Fung No 1 offering a complete meal for six, these cookies at seven bucks and jars at fourteen and change unfortunately suffer by comparison. Nevertheless, these are some indulgences and my only caution was I did not want something too sweet. I chose the cookie of the month, strawberry shortcake, oatmeal apple pie, and sweet potato custard blackberry. None of these proved to be too sweet. By the way, the flavors seem to be offered across the entire range; whether cookie, gowee or jar. They will pack them in a cardboard box and wrap the whole thing in Saran wrap to lock in the moisture as they are served up very warm. You will want to eat them immediately or warm them at home to get the desirable impact. The strawberry shortcake was a bit underwhelming. The candied sprinkles would have been better replaced with strawberry jam or preserves. The oatmeal apple pie was a little better and definitely benefits from being served warm and gooey. The star of the show was the sweet potato custard blackberry. The custard really stood out and it was not too sweet. The custard also offered a juxtaposed texture that really set it off, definitely my favorite, and a demonstration of culinary refinement. Service is very warm and personable. Three and a half stars. read more

This was by far the best cookie spot I have had in manhattan so far. Levain is extremely overrated so I would definitely recommend choosing this place over that. The cookies are a bit pricey at $7 a cookie but totally worth it in my opinion. There is also a happy hour from 4-6 where cookies are half off. I got the bueno bueno cookie and it was fantastic. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with bueno chocolate and Nutella. The shear amount of options and quality of the cookie make this the best I've tried so far. 100% recommend checking this place out. read more

Randomly, some time ago, I was walking and passed this lovely "down the stairs hole in the wall" and I recall it smelling delicious and yet the sign said not open or order online only or something equally upsetting. ( it may have been post covid times). so time passes. Let's say a year or more. I finally make my way down these stairs. The choices are delectable. The selection seems scrumptious. I settle on the ever popular birthday cake (usually a fan fave right ?) I found it so so. Very sweet nothing special. My additional choice was rice pudding and I loved it ! My friend got oatmeal apple something and he loved that. I def recommend giving this place a try especially during their cookie happy hour which I believe is 4-6 pm. read more

Got some of these delivered on a lazy Friday night and they certainly did not disappoint. I tried the chocolate chip chunk, dark chocolate caramel s'more and banana cream pudding cookie. Chocolate chip was my favorite but dark chocolate caramel came in at a close second. Red velvet (which I've had in the past) is also very satisfying. The cookies are as advertised- deliciously gooey on the inside. Was surprised that they arrived warm and in great condition to indulge on with a tall glass of milk. Just a single cookie is quite filling so make sure you build an appetite (or just overindulge like me). As far as oversized cookie spots in the city, this is definitely one of the better ones. Planning to go back and try the all things jars and more cookie flavors! read more

i was craving a chocolate chip cookie after dinner at essex market and came here after reading the reviews even though they have a ton of bakeries in the market. first the bad: the chocolate chip was kinda hard and not very gooey?! it was served warm but i literally couldn't take more than a couple bites because it reminded me of chips ahoy. i was so mad at myself for paying $7 for it. the good: the birthday cake was PHENOMENAL. it could feed 2 but i saved half for breakfast. and even though the chocolate chip sucked, i'd go back to try other flavors based on how delicious this one was. service was also quick and friendly. note this place is in a basement and very small. takeout only, no seating! read more
