Delicious baked goods. You can't go wrong with anything you get at Hilary's. Their scones are great and have good flavor-the blueberry lemon are our favorite. Their cookies are also good. read more

these cookies are seriously tasty! Super fresh and bursting with flavor! I grabbed three or four cookies and a couple of scones at the farmers market in Jefferson Park I will definitely be back and next time I will stock up! You guys too it's seriously great job thank you! read more

Amazing cookies - they are vegan but are beloved by vegans and non- vegans alike. Grab a scone at the next farmers market you won't regret it - I couldn't believe how good it was. read more

Vegan cookies seem to have a stigma in that it doesn't taste as great as regular cookies. This place proves that wrong! There wasn't much room when I arrived because they were preparing for a massive shipment, so I had to maneuver through cookies. The door was locked, but they let me in to purchase. I recommend calling them to make sure that they're open before you arrive. They also sell products at Whole Foods. I went for the special and bought three cookies for $6: snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, and chocolate coffee (which definitely has a coffee flavor). My favorite was the chocolate chip cookie. All the cookies were incredibly delicious and chewy, and you can't tell that it's vegan. Writing this review makes me want to get another cookie. Brb! read more

What's not to like? Delicious, flavorful, gorgeous cookies. Get over there! read more

Hilary's Cookies - a horse cookie in front of a christmas tree - Bakeries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I really cannot rate this company's cookies, since when we arrived today, there was a sign saying they were CLOSED to the public - so we wasted our trip. Their Facebook page should have a pinned message indicating this, but nope. They don't even have a website I can find! The company also does not seem to care that their business hours listed here on Yelp are obviously inaccurate. They have an Instagram account that has made 9 posts. How the heck do they even stay in business? read more

Love Hilary's cookies! I first tried them at my local Whole Foods in Ann Arbor, MI where they're sold and I keep buying them because they're delicious. When I looked up where they were located, I couldn't believe it! The bakery is down the street from where my sister live in Chicago in Lincoln Square. It's like fate! The cookies are soft and not overly sweet and the perfect texture. I've also purchased cookies and other baked goods from the main flagship store in Chicago. I always look forward to seeing them in my Whole Foods though! When we see them, we buy a few just in case they run out ;) read more

Amazing cookies. Amazing service. Everything is fresh, pure, delicious. Expensive, but - you get what you pay for. And Hilary herself is at the counter ready to serve up a delicious treat. Tip - try the french press coffee - she makes each cup to order, and it perfectly compliments the butter cookies. read more

Ever since a random trip to Fort Bragg, California in the fall of 2011 where I found this bakery that made these divine chocolate chip cookies with everything in them, I've been on the search for other bakeries with a suitable replacement. Which began a cookie trek still in the making. So, recently I had a hunger for chocolate chip cookies so I was on Yelp thumbing through reviews. I found this place and quickly scanned their website to see what flavors were offered. I wish the "New stuff" area on their main page was highlighted or in a larger font because I completely bypassed that paragraph and missed what would have told me that their cookies are all completely Vegan. Nothing wrong with Vegan cookies but it just wasn't something I was looking for at the moment. Traditional is what I was jonesing for. Their vegan cookies are composed of no dairy, no eggs, ingredients like organic unbleached flour, organic sugar, unsulfured dried fruits, organic etc. Note that for cookies created this way to get a consistency that is close to the traditional cookie, other ingredients are used. Not chemicals or complex sugars but natural ingredients found in any fruit or vegetable market. I wonder if they supply ingredient lists to customers that need to know. They are catering not only to the vegan crowd but understandably those that are living with dietary restrictions. Nowadays there are a lot more of children and some adults that cannot have dairy or eggs. I walked in expecting to spend less than five dollars and walk out with a few cookies. Nothing is ever as expected. Many of the flavors of cookies on deck were as they say "unique" flavors. Luckily I found a chocolate chip cookie and a chocolate coffee, which I purchased. Also got a couple chocolate chip minis and a 10 or 12 oz cup of fresh, chilled, organic lemonade sweetened with organic cane sugar. Total was just above $12 dollars! Big cookies are $2.50 each, lemonade $4. Pricey. The chocolate chip has an interesting flavor, I tasted hints of coconut in it and its texture was like that of a soft baked cookie. I would return for another in the future. The mini's were like pecan sandies or biscotti in it's texture, I wasn't thrilled but the lemonade was perfect. It was a sultry 95 degrees that day and the lemonade was equally tart and tasty. Needless to say I would order another the next time it's humid. It's shared knowledge that they sell cookies at Whole Foods as well. I commented to the store keeper that I travel through the area often and have never seen this shop. It'd be awesome if they sent cookie pushers onto Lincoln ave, hopping the stretch of so many bars out there. Which are a few mere blocks away. Some of which have beer gardens or open exteriors in the warm months. If I saw a cookie pusher with a great price and a smile, I'd buy a cookie. read more

Every summer my husband daughter and I look forward to the Horner Park farmer's market because of Hillary's Cookies stand. The scones are among the best I've ever had aside from a friend's Irish granny. We absolutely love them. The man who works the stand is such a joy and makes our Saturday so much better! We love seeing him- he's like a legend in our family because we get so excited to talk to him, haha! He gave me the most amazing tip for the scones which is cut them in half and stick them in the oven at 350 for like seven minutes.. serve with butter and your in heaven. Wish I could really convey what joy this baking company brings to my family but I'm truly not even doing it justice! read more

Hilary's Cookies - two muffins on a plate - Bakeries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Pro: The cookies are definitely amazing. I threw a party this summer - 3 vegans in attendance, and 20+ nonvegans. Hilary's Cookies were the first to go! I had several nonvegan desserts leftover, but no cookies! Con: Hilary is very difficult to get a hold of. After my June party, I tried to contact her via phone and email to set up another order in July. I never heard back from her. I tried to call her store again a few days ago; no answer. read more

Chocolate coffee cookies. Chocolate coffee vegan cookies. Now, those that know me well know that when I hear the word "vegan" that my eyes usually glaze over. I have not had good experiences with vegan foods beyond salads. This time, however, I found something delicious! I was not as enamored of the smaller cookies, but those big soft deeeeeelicious chocolate coffee cookies are wonderful! They are a bit pricey, but so good. read more

Softest and tastiest cookies I have had. It is hard to believe these cookies are actually vegan but, lo and behold, they are! I tried them a couple weeks ago when my mom wanted an oatmeal cookie (she is not vegan but likes vegan deserts). Anyway, we went to Whole Foods and while my dad and I grabbed vegan cupcakes, she wanted to try Hilary's Oatmeal cookie. After we all tried each others' desserts, her cookie was hands down the BEST dessert. The flavor of this cookie was mind-blowing. There is fresh oatmeal and a hint of butterscotch. I ended up grabbing this cookie again last night. My fiancé tried it for the first time and was hooked as well. We are looking forward to trying more of her cookies at Whole Foods and hitting up her wonderful shop in Lincoln Park soon! read more

Absolutely delicious cookies! I tried them where I use to work, I was in real trouble when I found out they were located just 15 min away my home. I tried the chocolate chip and was instantly hooked. However, once I tried pumpkin pie, chocolate chip was old news. Highly recommend their cookies plus they have great service! read more

I have said it once and I will say it again, I am a HARD CORE CARNIVORE. So while I was waiting on my facial appointment with Magdalena, I stopped by the little market upstairs from Magdalena's and bought a sandwich, which was the bomb.com and a vegan chocolate cookie, at first I was hesitant because the damn cookie was $3.50 + tax, for a cookie??? Glad I am not cheap when it comes to food, because that was the best damn, soft baked chocolate cookie rolled in white sugar that I have ever had in my life. I am a little upset I didn't get two. You would never know it was vegan. I thought it had some kind of dairy because it was so soft and moist. Thanks Hillary, I will definitely have to come to your shop and taste all your other delicious vegan treats. read more

Also sold at Whole Foods, BTW! Amazing cookies. Coincidentally, vegan. None of my family is vegan. They are the biggest carnivores you might know. It doesn't change their loooooove of Hilary's cookies. Every flavor is just mouth wateringly good. Is that even a word? Find them at whole foods or meet Hilary yourself and head to this fine establishment. read more

Pros: Cookies were warm, soft, and delicious. Made me forget about all my problems for a few seconds as I gobbled them down. Cons: My hopes were raised when I looked at the menu and started to order but were then dashed quite expertly as the server said that it was outdated. read more

Hilary's Cookies - Bakeries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The brownie alone is worth 5 stars! They sell some of their products at BeLeaf Salad on Wacker Drive and I was sold the first day! It's the perfect combination of brownie and cake textures. It's a "YAY!" from me. Outstanding experience. read more

Hilary's Cookies - Gluten-Free Brownie goodness! - Bakeries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Walk by Hilary's so often, we finally bought some cookies today. OMG, they are DELISH! Can't believe they're vegan. We tried the Snickerdoodles and can't wait to sample more of their flavors. read more

Hilary's cookies are great and use the best ingredients ( no artificial stuff--they are the real deal) with reasonable prices. They even offer delivery service. I was very impressed with their personable manner--they treat you like family. I will definitely reorder. read more

HILARY'S COOKIES ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! When I went to Hilary's for the first time, I realized finally what a REAL COOKIE tastes like. So soft and full of amazing cookie goodness, definitely not some hard and nasty cookies you buy from the store. If you can stop by, make sure to grab an Oatmeal Scotchie (butterscotch) or a Chocolate Chip, those are my favorites. Actually, all of her cookies taste great, all kinds of different flavors. AND THE BEST PART!!! THEY'RE VEGAN!!! So none of that garbage you find in other cookies, everything is fresh. If your not able to stop at her store in Lincoln Square, no worries, you can pick up her cookies at Whole Foods too. I go to the Whole Foods by Cicero and Peterson all the time to pick up some of her cookies. Make sure to check out Hilary's Cookies TODAY!!! read more

Yum! Two words: Chocolate Coffee The chocolate coffee cookie is NOT a cookie--it's a dessert. I could see this cookie being served on a beautiful plate in a boutique restaurant--perhaps with some fancy syrup swirl on the edges of the plate and some tastefully placed strawberry slices. Just saying. read more

I first tried hilary's cookies at whole foods and i was hooked. I went to her actual bake shop and bought all her vegan cookies and I'm obsessed. And the cookies are huge! read more

Hillary is a nice person to talk to. However, the picture on the Redeye made me want to come to this place. It wasn't worth it. The cookies didn't taste right. You can make a better ice cream sandwich on your own. Overpriced goods that don't deliver. read more

Delicious cookies and bars! Accidently stumbled across this little storefront on a walk and had to have an Oatmeal Scotchie! Then I had to try the chocolate coffee...and so it began.. Hilary is usually there and is really great about explaning all her ingredients and her vegan recipes. She has a fantastic personality and is an even better baker. She's like the Mom who hides healthy ingredients in a cookie or bar and they're so good you'd never know it. I tend to over eat these cookies for obvious reasons and justify it by how healthy they are! She has a great deal on a dozen cookies so I tried lemon, chocolate chip walnut, banana nut, and the flavors mentioned above. Now, you can buy these cookies at Whole Foods, but she has more flavors in her store and I always like to buy from the source! Beware! Once she gets her signage up this place is going to be packed with people!!! read more

i was so disappointed. I spent 7.35 and got two mini snicerdoodles, 2 mini butter pecan, 1 large chocolate chip, and 1 large peanut butter. all three except the butter pecan tasted some what similar, lacked distinctive flavor and expected them to be knock your socks off cookies based on the price, that they were not. the butter pecan cookies were very good, the others i only had one bite because they were not good tasting to me. might be the vegan thing that affected the taste read more

Seriously fantastic cookies and baked goods! I stopped in a couple of weeks ago when i stumbled across the storefront... had a very pleasant chat with Hilary, the owner, and tried a sample of non-vegan bars (yum), and then purchased a vegan chocolate chip cookie. Vegan food in general isn't something I have very often, due to allergies. After Hilary took the time to go through the ingredients with me, I was sure it would be ok. I scarfed that cookie down so fast it was slightly embarrassing. It's going to be very difficult living 2 blocks from this place and not gaining 100 lbs. read more

Seriously amazing cookies. I first tried the Oatmeal Scotchies from my local whole foods and then upon research I learned there is an actual store, I haven't been to the store yet but it's on my list when I go into the city. If the cookies sold at Whole foods are amazing I can't even imagine what the fresher cookies at the actual store taste like! Vegan, minimal ingredients, and soft tasty treats of pure goodness ! read more

The vegan Snickerdoodles and the chocolate coffee cookies are so moist. They are a melt-in-your-mouth type of cookie. They are bite size, but that just makes me more mindful of each nibble. They aren't overly sweet either. I always look for Hilary's cookies at the various coffee shops in Lincoln Square where I live. I always find them at The Grind and get some whenever I go in. Sometimes, I don't even get coffee there; I just go in looking for those darned tasty cookies that I have a crush on. Please, go out of your way to try one today. You won't be disappointed! read more

Wow! Saw these at Whole Foods, and wanted to give a vegan cookie a shot. Bought the chocolate coffee cookie, and absolutely loved it! I'm hooked! Will have to get more and try the other flavors! read more

The chocolate chip, chocolate coffee, and snickerdoodle cookies are so good! I also really enjoyed the granola bites. I'm not vegan and could not tell that there was anything missing or different about these cookies. Very tasty! read more

YUM! Lots of awesome baked vegan treats, the majority of her goods are vegan, with a few regular pastries as well. You can get her cookies at local whole foods, but they're obviously fresher and have a wider variety at her brick and mortar location. While, I love her cookies, my favorite things are her oatmeal bites which come in tons of changing flavors, but I especially love the pecan ones...they're a perfect size too. read more

Hands down best vegan cookies in the city. I buy them at Whole Foods or right from her store. I love all the variety for vegan cookies, this is very rare, and especially when they taste so good! read more

Stopped by to pick up some cookies since the ones a friend had were so good. It was noon on a Saturday, they had opened at 10a.m, and there were almost no cookies on display to buy. Disappointing. read more

I bought the cookie chocolate coffee twice without knowing that it was vegan at Whole Foods. All I saw first was chocolate and coffee and thought "sounds amazing" and it was it really was. I have just tried the oatmeal cookie and it was very good. I am excited to try more varieties of the cookies. read more

I picked up a softball sized strawberry glazed scone today at Hilary's pop up shop inside of Bowtruss Coffee house and it was AMAZING. Delicious, flaky, and the perfect amount of pink icing to give each bite a sweet kick! Must try! read more

Best store bought cookie I have ever had. Picked up the chocolate chip on an impulse at whole foods and It. Was. So. Good.

Bought a scone and cookie from the stand at the farmers market. They were so fresh, soft, and so delicious. The scones had amazing fresh berries in it with the perfect amount of sweetness (not to much ) with a hint of tartness from the berries. I was pleasantly surprised and I can say that these are best scones I have ever had. read more

The best dang vegan chocolate chip cookie I've had! So moist with large chocolate chips. Cant wait to try more of their desserts.

I have a new obsession. All summer long, I have been buying the most incredible, creatively flavored, soft-cookie-deliciousness at the Thursday night Lincoln Square farmers' market. So far, I have tried chocolate chip, coffee-chocolate, and oatmeal-butterscotch. I must say that the coffee-chocolate variety are my personal favorite. Yum! The cookies are not your typical dried out, crispy deal. They are gooey, rich, and BIG. They are all crazily amazing, clearly made with care and love, plus they are vegan! Go buy yourself some cookies! read more
