Some of the best cookies in Columbia, MO can be found at Hot Box Cookies. When I was attending college, we would go to Hot Box Cookies late at night to fix our sweet cravings! There is a good variety of fresh baked cookie flavors to choose from, but my favorite is the classic snickerdoodle. This spot also has tasty ice cream that you can make ice cream cookie sandwiches with. If you have a sweet tooth and are looking for a cookie spot in Columbia, stop by Hot Box Cookies! read more

Amazing place to stop in for some delicious desserts. Clean building and immaculate vibes inside. Good service too. Would recommend!

stopped in at hotbox cookies! Beckett was the best! really know ball when it come to the cookie game

Fast service and workers are always super nice and welcoming. Cookies are always fresh and good!

Hot Box is a great cookie place! The workers were very friendly and they worked fast to get my order out to me.

I will preface this place has good cookies, but their prices tend to be on the high side. We went to get me some ice cream sandwiches which is basically picking out two cookies and they put ice cream in between the cookies. I chose Gooey butter and PB with Reese's Pieces with Cookies and cream ice cream. The Gooey butter cookie is yummy and full of flavor. The PB cookie was great as well but these cookies taste very much like something you can buy frozen from one of the those fundraisers in school. Good, but very chemically tasting. The ice cream was ok. Just ice cream but it was nice to have on a hot day. The total came out to be $7 before taxes so higher than an ice cream sandwich would be. The place is located in downtown Columbia and is nice to have but it's not something I would visit often. read more

Honestly not my favorite cookie in town. I can see how anyone downtown can appreciate the convenience of the place and the variety of cookie flavors it offers. However, I didn't feel like the cookies were super fresh. Perfect for the late night crew of college kids but not for your every day cookie lover looking for a sweet treat. read more

Hot Box Cookies - a menu for a cookie shop - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Cookies were over baked today which was really disappointing. They were, however, still warm upon delivery.

Cheerful, welcoming staff, Cookie Monster handing out free cookies, but parking was almost impossible, and the cookies aren't worth the hassle. Good, warm, fresh, but not great. read more

Holy cow...this place takes me back to my grandmas kitchen in 1987. These cookies were soft and warm. The best I've had in forever!!! Amazing customer service, I totally messed up my address for delivery and they fixed it for me (even after the driver had left). Can't wait to order again!!! So good! read more

Ohhh dang. Got some good, fresh cookies and they are warmed so they melt in your mouth. I usually go with basic chocolate chip or snickerdoodle but tried the red velvet and read more

For the price it is a waste of money. every cookie tastes almost the same, the overall flavor is bland with a little bit of sweetness. read more

Hot Box Cookies - Shitty cookies - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

An amazing and local artist here in Columbia, MO did a mural for this company OVER A YEAR AGO AND HASN'T BEEN COMPENSATED. Adrienne Luther is a highly respected and kind artist who deserves to be paid for a job that took her a week to complete and paid for her own materials upfront. Christina Chastain who is the director of business development has given false emails telling her she will be paid and she has not. It's been over 365 days. Next time you want to come here DONT! STEALING FROM A LOCAL ARTIST IS DISGUSTING WHEN THIS COMPANY MAKES THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!!! I only gave ONE star because I had to. read more

What more could you ask for, a place that serves milk and cookies on demand? Could it get any better? No! This place is awesome. They hire quality staff and the cookies are beyond delicious! If what you want isn't ready in the case it probably will be coming out of the oven shortly. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but I recommend trying the oatmeal chocolate chip, it is delightful! Oh, and if you don't feel like driving there, they offer delivery. Check them out, you won't regret it. read more

What's not to love??? Hot cookies, right from the oven, or at least from the hot box. They have a good assortment and the people look like the Keebler elves, putting out bunches of deliciousness. Keep up the good work!! read more

Hot Box Cookies - 2 of the 4 cookies survived the drive back to my hotel. - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Ordered cookies for my son for Valentine's Day. He received them on Saturday timely and he loved them. Easy to order online. Will order from Hot Box again. read more

I've ordered from these folks twice..from California for delivery in Columbia Missouri. Excellent service and apparently delicious!

Excellent soft rich cookies. Get the day-old cookie boxes in person in store and save yourself the unnecessarily high price per cookie!

Someone brings these into the office every now and again. Although I do not particularly care for sweets, these cookies are pretty darned good. A tad on the greasy side - probably from making them with butter. They do taste homemade! read more

My friend's brother started this hot cookie co. Love all the different types of cookies. A favorite, the red velvet cookie. But can't say I tasted one I didn't like. read more

These are objectively the best cookies on planet. If you are looking for a snack or dessert before or after the big game make sure you come downtown and get a hotbox cookie. They are always warm and gooey, and they have more than enough flavors for everyone's unique preference. read more

To die for! The cookies and cream is my favorite but they're all amazing. Love the vibe here and the employees are all super friendly. Their prices are decent and hours are great. Definitely my favorite cookie place in town! read more

Delicious. I drive all the way from Kansas City, Missouri to this specific location for their cookies. They are so good hot, but I usually purchase a box of day old cookies and warm them up. Still good! read more

I had the extreme urge for a cookie last night and I remembered the delectable hot delivery cookies in Columbia and wished there was an equivalent in Vegas. I'm actually furious that there's not. Also furious because it's temporarily closed--what is that? This is a million dollar idea for a college town and I hope they reopen soon for any and all late night cookie urges! read more

Who doesn't like a hot, melty, delicious cookie... If you don't, you might be a little crazy, Hot Box Cookies is just about as good as it gets when it comes to hot, melty, delicious cookies! They have a ton of flavors to choose from including chocolate chip, cookies and creme, M&M, Snicker Doodle, & peanut butter. They also do ice cream cookie sandwiches, icing cookie sandwiches, and cookie cakes. Umm, did I mention they will deliver the hot, melty, delicious cookies straight to your door, or even someone else's door? YES, they really deliver cookies! You can visit their store downtown in The District or order online. They stay open late, too, until midnight Sunday - Thursday & 2:00AM on the weekends. HELLO! If its sweets your craving, give Hot Box Cookies a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

Save your money and get the tollhouse squares from hyvee. These cookies are really nothing special and not worth the price. You can have cheap cookies at your own house more quickly than it takes this place to deliver. The business idea is definitely original, but the execution is terrible. A cookie business should have excellent cookies. Hot Box hasn't mastered this. read more

I can't believe there are so many people hatin' on this place! The cookies are awesome. I do not normally have a big sweet tooth, but these definitely hit the spot. My colleague and I were in town on business and decided to stop here after a business meeting at Teller's (which Teller's is average, but that's where they wanted to eat). These cookies are so warm and gooey, I got chocolate all over the rental car on accident. I shouldn't have been touching anything. I had the oatmeal chocolate chip, the peanut butter chocolate chip and some special one that I can't remember the name, and I don't see on the website. Dang. I guess I will have to try every cookie when I go back so I know which one was my favorite. bummer. :) And trust me, $1 for a cookie is not expensive. When you have spent $3 on a cupcake in NYC the size of a small pill container and pay it because those cupcakes that DANG good, you don't worry about it. (stupid little cupcakes. so expensive but dangit so addictive). read more

I stopped in this place at the strong suggestion of a friend who knew about my passion for oatmeal raisin cookies that were homemade and not store bought. A good tip as the ones I purchased were amazing! I bought 12 oatmeal cookies with 2 mix ins of which were raisins of course and then walnuts. For $10.70 that is not bad at all. More so given the decent size of the cookies and the authentic taste/smell the cookies have. I brought them home and put the in the fridge and ate 3 for breakfast with a cup of coffee and pretty much went to heaven for a while, delicious! read more

Here's how it works. You pick a cookie dough. . . Mmmmmmm peanut butter :) You choose your mix-ins. . .Chocolate chips, Reese's Pieces. . . And they bake your cookies right there! You can call and have them delivered or you can go and wait ten minutes. They also have normal cookies available in the counter if you just need one cookie after dinner downtown or something I don't know their official hours, but I think they're open late (until like midnight). So that's fun. But.......The cookies themselves aren't that great. I love the concept, and I want to support it, but I don't like the product. I'd rather buy the refrigerated Tollhouse cookies and bake them myself. read more

Yum!!! Delicious homemade cookies! They have such a selection and you can get milk too! I do miss them giving you the option to pick your batter and then your topping but I have to imagine that was not very cost effective. They do deliver which is a huge plus for late nights! They have quick, easy service and you will not have to wait long for your order. read more

Hot Box Cookies - Desserts Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Did a blind taste test with Insomnia cookies, and Hot Box was the clear winner. Always delicious, great variety, super friendly, and overall the perfect late night snack. read more

My boyfriend is quite the cookie connoisseur, and he also lives in downtown Columbia, a block away from Hot Box Cookies, so I eat these cookies probably more often than I would normally... but they're pretty good. The catch is this: depending on when you go, the cookies can be freshly made and wonderful, or they can be older ones that have been sitting out for a few hours. So it's a treat when we come in and get warm and soft cookies, but other times we end up with room-temperature harder ones. Another disappointment is there are only about 5 varieties available at each time. Their website advertises all the types of cookies they are making that day, and sometimes I find some cookies (S'more, Cookies and Creme, etc.) on that list and go to the store craving it, but then find out there's not available at the time. Of course they offer to make a batch, but who wants to wait 15-20 minutes when we're here on an impulse anyway? But I have to say that I've never had a bad cookie here. (Do bad cookies even exist?) I've always really enjoyed their cookies. The Snickerdoodle, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, and Oatmeal Raisin are especially wonderful. Huge plus that it's cheap and open late too. Perfect for late night sweet tooth cravings. read more

They got the idea right, but the execution wasn't perfect. This store is open late for if you really need a cookie fix while you're studying, but the cookies aren't the best. I ordered cookies out of the case, to be fair, but they tasted just slightly better than prepackaged cookies. They're open late and delivery is an option. Still I like other cookies much better. read more

amazing cookies!! favorites are chocolate chip and red velvet. worker were so nice and welcoming

I was brought here by friends of the owner who say I look like him (I don't see the resemblance). The man makes some damn good cookies though. The oatmeal craisin white chocolate chip are some of the best cookies I've ever had, especially while still warm and fresh. My friend who came with me that fashions himself a cookie connoisseur fell in love and crushed more than a dozen, then bought the t-shirt so he could remember how much he loves them. read more

The management here treats their employees badly. They are always hiring and their deliveries take forever. That being said the prices are fair and the cookies are delicious. I love having this in town when I have a sweet tooth. Insomnia cookies can't touch hot box, except with their customer service maybe! read more

I order quite frequently from Hot Box. Last night I placed an order for 20 cookies to be delivered to a child's slumber party. They called as soon as I placed my order and wanted the child's phone number so they could call him when they were leaving. I asked them not to call that the cookies were a surprise. They said they had to call him before they left to make sure he was home. How can you surprise anyone if they insist on calling before they leave the store. Why could they not call if nobody answered the door? Which was not going to happen because they are children and were not going anywhere. Anyway, the woman would not budge so I canceled the entire order. read more

I was in town for a meeting and heard about this place. On my way out of town I stopped by to pick up some cookies to take back to the office the next day. The staff was very friendly and everyone at work loved the cookies. I will definitely stop in again next time I'm in town. read more

Super yummy cookies! They deliver all over town, but delivery can be a little long. Even with a wait, the cookies arrived warm.
