The cookies at Hudson's are so good. Perfectly soft and chewy with just a little crisp on the edges. You can really taste the quality and they are not too sweet which I love. Honestly the kind of cookies you keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely grab a few extra because one is not enough. read more

I have never heard of Hudson's Cookies until most recently. Saw them in the Atrium Food Court within Fashion Island, Newport Beach. I'm a sucker for cookies. Had to check them out. Store front was decorated with simply pretty pink and red decor. Classic cookies consist of snickerdoodle, chocolate sugar, oatmeal chocolate chip, etc. Signature cookies feature Chocolate Chunk, Double Chocolate Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Butterscotch Salted Caramel, etc. They also sell cookie and ice cream sandwiches along with a few confections. Lady staff was okay. I asked for recommendations. She said their chocolate chip cookie is a crowd favorite. I had to step away for a few minutes. By the time I got back, they ran out of it. I should have gotten it when I had the chance. Oh well. Price per cookie ranged from $5 to $7+ which I thought was just a tad steep. I don't mind paying for high end cookies if they are truly worth every penny. Unfortunately, I can't say my $5 snickerdoodle was the best I've ever had. It wasn't soft when I was informed it was soft. Slightly disappointed. I may give them another chance to woo me. Hope for a better tasting cookie experience next time. Thanks Hudson's! read more

Located in the Atrium Food Court at Fashion Island, this place sells big, fat, expensive cookies. I don't mind paying five or six dollars for a cookie if it is truly a spectacular cookie. My experience here was a mixed bag. After receiving a verbal description of the various offerings from the fine young gentleman working here, I chose two: a traditional chocolate chip and a double chocolate peanut butter. The chocolate chip was perfection. Soft (but not doughy), lots of chocolate chips (slightly melty from being warm), and a smidgen of salt sprinkled on top. It was fantastic. The double chocolate peanut butter, however, had very hard crunchy edges and was dry. Having paid $6+, I wasn't about to give up on it, so took a few more bites and found the center to be softer. The center was where I found the flavors of chocolate cookie and peanut butter chips to be wonderful. Still, I expected a much better cookie. I'd give the chocolate chip cookie 5 stars and the double chocolate peanut butter 2 stars at most. read more

Walked in to see what they offered, the sole employee came running in from outside. (???) We purchased one peanut butter cookie and one classic chocolate chip cookie. The total was $9.37! (No cash, cards only) The peanut butter was underbaked... The chocolate chip was dense and heavy. For that much money, they should be great. We won't be back. read more

Finally tried this cookie spot and WOW! The cost of the cookie makes sense considering they are giant and delicious! Took me years to realize I didn't have a go-to cookie spot in OC?? Well look no further!! Their chocolate chunk gives that same ooey gooey satisfaction that you get from the Levain chocolate chip but they have even more flavors! We LOVED their s'mores flavor. Plan on sharing and trying multiple flavors because you can't get these kinds of cookies anywhere else! Make sure to heat them up and serve "medium rare". Love that concept! Also got their ice cream sandwich with their smores life cream and wowwww even their ice cream is delicious! read more

Customer service was amazing the young man described every cookie for us and I fought to pick 1. This chocolate chip sandwich was EVERYTHING. I'm afraid to eat the entire cookie because I know calorie wise it has to be insane. I'll eat over 3 days. It's huge! The flavor of the buttercream and texture was EXCELLENT! My wife had the ginger molasses, it tasted like Christmas and smiles!!!!! The profiles of flavors are insane. We had just left Yardhouse and wanted something sweet and when I say Hudson's surpassed our expectations! If we are in the area we will definitely be back! read more

Yummy cookie~~~~ my favorite and grab&go place for a weekend treat. I can find some unique flavors here. Highly recommended.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! These are probably the best cookies I've had in my entire lifetime! The owner of the cookie shop is amazing! Super super nice and friendly. I highly recommend this place. read more

These are the best cookies available in Southern California. Unfortunately these are not located outside of south Orange County, but these cookies are a real treat and much better than crumble. Thy stand out due to their large size, both thickness and diameter. The shop is also always decorated beautifully during the holidays. Even if you don't live in OC, it's worth a drive to go and try these. I'll also note the flavor combinations are very well done--vanilla bourbon butter cream with chocolate chip or lemon buttercream with shortbread--are just two examples in addition to all the traditional cookie favorites. read more

Walking around the Fashion Island Food Court, Hudsons Cookies caught my eye and I couldn't resist. I got the following...

I had the pleasure of the owner take care of me and I look forward to my next visit. read more

While shopping at Fashion Island in Newport Beach on a Sunday, I was craving a snack and decided to try Hudson Cookies in the food court area. When I first walked by, there were no customers or workers in sight. After waiting about 10 minutes, an employee finally appeared! I quickly asked her about the cookies, but she didn't seem very enthusiastic. I decided to go with a classic chocolate chip cookie. Although the cookie was a decent size, it was cold and stale, which was disappointing. It wasn't worth the price, effort, or value. Overall, my experience at Hudson Cookies was underwhelming, and I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. read more

We were waiting to meet up with my family for dinner at CPK and decided to walk around for a bit. That is when we stumbled upon Hudson Cookies, and honestly it was the smell that pulled us in. My wife noticed it first and wanted to check it out. The moment she saw the cookie with cream in the display, she was sold. So of course, we had to try it. I was tempted to grab more because all of their cookies looked incredible. The chocolate chip one especially stood out. It did not look like your typical cookie. It looked more like a fluffy, doughy scone fresh out of the oven. The gentleman working there was kind enough to give us a sample and man, it was really good. We ended up getting the cookie cream sandwich and it did not last long at all. We had our eyes on the snickerdoodle and classic chocolate chip too, and those definitely looked worth coming back for. The staff was super sweet and very helpful while we asked some questions about their ingredients and all the different cookie options. They even had some gluten free choices which was great to see, even though we did not try them this time. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area or just in the mood for a really good cookie. Solid spot and definitely a nice surprise find for us. read more

I love these cookies and they're amazing. The only drawback is that they only accept card and don't take cash. It would be so much more convenient if they accepted both forms of payment. read more

Hudson's Cookies - S'mores cookie - Desserts Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Extremely Disappointing Experience - A Shocking Drop in Quality! I've been a loyal fan of Hudson Cookies for years, regularly visiting their Irvine Spectrum location where the cookies are consistently warm, fresh, and worth every penny. Unfortunately, my recent visit to the Fashion Island location was the exact opposite -- and frankly, unacceptable for a brand that prides itself on premium products. The cookies we received tasted like they'd been sitting out for days -- dry, stale, and eerily reminiscent of mass-produced Famous Amos cookies from a vending machine. For a place that charges top-tier pricing, this was a major letdown. There was absolutely no quality control. It felt like a franchise location operating without any regard for the standards that made Hudson Cookies popular in the first place. It's shocking that a brand with such a strong reputation would allow this level of inconsistency. This wasn't just an off day -- it was a clear sign of either poor training, old inventory, or flat-out negligence. Major franchise malpractice, in my opinion. Save your money and your taste buds -- skip the Fashion Island location at all costs (no pun intended). Stick with the Irvine Spectrum store if you want the real Hudson Cookies experience Bottom line: skip this location unless you enjoy overpaying for cookies that taste like regret. For the real deal, stick to Irvine Spectrum and if you accidentally end up at Fashion Island, just grab a soft pretzel and pretend this place never happened and too bad Levan bakery is not in Orange County for those who are cookie connoisseurs. read more

I'm shocked nobody has said it yet but there were flies everywhere hence the use of tiny fans. Maybe you guys should think about a better way to store your cookies. read more

Hudson cookies are the best in the world. Can't understand why there is no one manning the shop at Fashion Island on a Sunday afternoon? I've been waiting 15 mins for someone to show up. Unbelievable.... read more

The cookies are so gooey soft and thick! But not underbaked, though. That's why they're so great! The chocolate chips are very melty and the cookie is decadent so you'll definitely want a glass of milk or water when eating. They are always hot and fresh and bring back memories of my childhood. read more

Over priced old cookies. Don't waste your time or money the cookies are sub par at best. 22.00 for 3 cookies is robbery.

For some reason, the gluten free vegan chocolate walnut cookies are not as good here as they are at the Irvine Spectrum location (they taste kind of stale & texture is off). They are always perfect at the Irvine location. read more

This is my favorite treat. The Ginger Molasses Cookie is to die for! I can't wait to come back and try some of their other cookies.

Waited almost a total of 45 minutes before deciding to take my business elsewhere. No one staffed behind the counter, food left out, etc. tried calling, but alas, no one was there. Got gelato across from the food court, and still after a total of an hour, still no staff. Don't bother coming. read more

Hudson's Cookies - No staff - Desserts Near Me - Newport Beach, California

$7 for a cookie - yikes! Located in the bottom floor food area at Fashion Island, this shop did not seem like it was staffed when I went. Two-thirds of the display cases and trays were empty, and no one was in sight. The photo I posted is only focusing on the trays that had stuff on there. Thanks to other Yelpers who wrote that you need to ring the bell for service, though the service was subpar. Not very friendly - it seemed like the person working there did not want to engage in conversation. Just pointed at a s'mores cookie and said it was $7. The cookie itself was nice. Thick and buttery. I put the cookie bag on my dashboard as I went to lunch so when I got back it was nice and gooey. I enjoyed it, but for $7 and subpar service? I'll be going elsewhere. read more

I just had some of their cookies at the Strawberry Farms golf club event and they were delicious!!! They tasted homemade which I love :)

Food: 4/5 Service and Setting: 3/5 Value: 3/5 My friend is a total cookie addict, so whenever there is a chance for me to try one, we go. Hudson's Cookies is located in the food court at Fashion Island and are serving cookies made there. The cookie on display are all for sale and are presumably baked fresh. When we arrived, no one was at the register but with a quick "hello" a spunky young lady came out to help us. Service was kind and patient as we inquired about cookies we were interested in. The stall is overall clean but the aesthetic reminds me of mid-2010's Christian women Pinterest. Birthday Cake Cookie: 3.5/5 I am normally not a huge fan of birthday cake flavored items because of the usual strong assault of artificial flavors. This cookie was definitely not overly artificial but retained that signature buttery flavor associated with birthday cake. This cookie was well cooked and had a moist center rather than the undercooked style popularized by Crumbl. The cookie itself is pretty sweet and the white chocolate chunks, though very delicious, take it up to the realm of over-the-top. Solid cookie, but not my preference. Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwich: 4.5/5 I really enjoyed this cookie and would come back to get it. Dense and chewy, these rich and not-overly-sweet peanut butter cookies are joined by a rich buttercream that tastes like peanut flavored butter. The added moisture and butter from the buttercream made this truly decadent without overloading on sugar. The flavors are admittedly simple, but I honestly would not want much more than this. Choc Pecan Cookie: 3/5 Again, not my favorite. This had a very similar texture to the birthday cake cookie. The chocolate's bitter and acidic notes were accentuated by the pecans and were overall too much for me as someone who is not a huge fan of non-milk chocolates. If you are into the more "complex" notes of chocolate and like a dense cookie, this may be right up your alley. read more

Ring the bell for service A nice thick gourmet chocolate chip cookie, my hubby's favorite. See all pics. It was actually difficult to capture the side view shot to show the thickness.

This place was absolutely ridiculous and we were really disappointed. Saw that there was a cookie place outside on the sign near the koi pond and headed inside thinking we were going to get a really good cookie. We didn't even get a cookie! We found the place in the food court and looked over the menu. Nobody was there. Not 1 employee in sight. Nobody behind the counter. We thought maybe someone was in the back or kitchen area. Then, when we were up at the counter trying to find someone who worked here, we noticed there was a sign that said no cash. I'm sorry, but there is no way I'm charging $5 on a credit card. That is ridiculous! So, they lost out on a sale due to no visible staff in sight and credit card only policy. This is not very smart marketing or good business tactics by any means. read more

Good thick cookie for about 5 or 6 bucks. Lots of chocolate chips and soft in the inside. They sprinkle some salt on the top which really brings out the sweetness. 6 bucks for a cookie seems pretty high but I'm sure for a cookie lover this is a great cookie. Nothing to seek but certainly enjoyable when you are at fashion island read more

Yeah... the cookie was okay, but probably not worth the over $5. I think my cookie was $5.33? Ordered one of the "crispy" chocolate chip cookies. Perhaps it wasn't fresh since it wasn't really that crispy. I'd be curious to see what the soft cookie was like if this was meant to be crispy. It satisfied my craving for sweets, but likely won't be back. Tate's cookies from the supermarket are better. And actually crispy. 2022: 104/100 read more

Walking around Fashion Island mall, I spotted this cookie place. I love chocolate chip cookies and had to stop and try one. First of all there is no one at the counter, so from a distance it looked like it might be closed. After walking up, I saw the beautiful display of many different types of giant cookies. I called out and a girl came out and said I need to ring the bell . She was not very friendly, never smiled, and seemed in a hurry to take my order. I got the chocolate chip with pecans cookie and a cup of coffee. It was over $11 and the smallest coffee I have ever had. The cookie was huge with good flavor, but dry. It doesn't compare to the $3.99 cookie at Bristol Farms. The coffee was not hot (warm) and definitely a mild roast. I would have been happier to get a cookie and coffee at Chick Filet right next door. Now I understand why there is no line for this overpriced place and I won't be going back. read more
