Passion pavlova, raspberry lemon cheesecake, KitKat tiramisu, s'mores cookies
Monica N.

All the cookies are freshly prepared upon ordering, and they're delicious! Ataham is super efficient and even when orders kept coming in he was patient, friendly, and very professional with all customers. It's a small place but seems clean and organized. Employees like Ataham are rare these days! Wonderful job. Ataham! We appreciated your positive attitude.

Junior Cookies (2) - s'mores & blueberry

Love that the cookies aren't huge and not too sweet. Was able to try different flavors this way!

Love it here. Delicious cookies. Rotating flavors so there is always something new to try and something for the pickiest of foodies. Always perfectly photo worthy. Family owned with great customer service. Fun music playing and happy beach people bumbling by for people watching. A perfect addition to Main Street. I usually grab sunny blue next door and then a matcha and cookies from here. Chefs kiss.

Ice Cream Cup Pistachio

it was a delicious affogato! service was incredible quick and on the spot! The pistachio cream to vanilla ratio was perfect and not too sweet! the perfect great after visiting the bars along the strip! Plus the vibe is pink! so so cute!

The cookies were soft, warm, and incredibly delicious the kind that melt in your mouth after the first bite. You can tell they're served fresh, and every flavor we tried was rich without being overly sweet. Definitely a spot worth coming back to when you're craving a really good cookie.

Stopped here after dinner at Crudo e Nudo next door and it was such a lovely sweet treat to end the night. It's a walk up cookie spot right on Main Street in Santa Monica, super easy to pop in if you're already in the area. Everything is made to order, so they actually decorate and finish the cookies when you pick your flavors. Serhat was really kind and he offered samples while we decided plus they have a visual menu which helped because everything looked good and my decision making skills disappear around dessert. It's also family owned, and this location opened after their first shop did so well, which honestly makes sense once you try them. We got the Passionfruit Pavlova, Peanut Butter & Banana Brûlée, and Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake cookies and all were stunning. The cookies are smaller, two-bite sized, so you can try a few flavors without feeling like you just ate a brick. Easy stop after dinner, good service, and street parking nearby (plus public lots if Main Street is busy). Such a fun little dessert spot.

Really delicious cookies and moderately priced for this economy. I'd come back next time I'm in SM

Absolutely incredible. I am a matcha snob and just insanely picky, so more often than not I don't order them, but just make them at home. Something compelled me to try the raspberry lemon matcha. It was such a balanced flavor. Slightly sweet cream top mixed with the matcha provided a perfect sipping experience. Once you get to the bottom, you have a mix of the remaining match and a raspberry puree situation, and it's incredible. I also got two raspberry cookies and have exactly zero complaints. It was so good that I came back two hours later, because I'm rarely in Santa Monica.

Cute little family run place with great decor! Love the hot pink. Cookies are small which I love. Lots of options to choose from. They also have coffee. I tried a few different cookies: Crème brûlée: my fave. Even get the crispy top which is my fave part of crème brûlée. Passionfruit pavlova: perfect amount of puree so you get a bright freshness of passionfruit but not overpowering. Dulce de leche: so decadent, a must for caramel lovers. Raspberry cheesecake: the one I was most looking forward to but most disappointed by! Way too much raspberry, it overpowered the entire cookie. I wish there was less raspberry so it would compliment the cookie flavor instead of overpowering it. Overall, cute place with cute cookies and lots of options! Staff is super friendly and helpful! Cookies are topped as you order! Parking in the lot in the back.

I had a mediocre experience when I was here last Thursday, 3/19/26 and the girl who was working said they only have one gluten-free cookie so I bought it! I wasn't particularly enthralled with it but I ate part of it. I didn't decorate the cookies or else I would've asked her to do that. She didn't offer but next time I will ask. It is a very cute cookie store on Main Street in Santa Monica.

Nikki L.

Delicious cookies and interesting flavors! Got the Nutella cup and s'mores cookies bc I'm a big chocolate fan :)

Ruby M.

If you ever want to go for a sweet treat, this place has delicious cookies! They used to have a peanut butter with jelly from what I remember, but they do rotate flavors so they no longer had it on the menu. I would 100% choose this place over crumbl cookies.

Note: Come with a friend, because the cookies are $5.50 / 2 - good opportunity to try two flavors! - - - - - - How can I not be excited over cookies? Well, sweets aren't quite my thing, especially if they're too sweet. The staff members greeted us as soon as we entered and were patient throughout our entire time browsing their cookie displays. Junior Cookies is, in fact, appropriately named. Their cookie are petite though well presented. I enjoyed their KitKat Tiramisu and Blueberry Strawberry Mascarpone with a friend, and we agreed that they were indeed both tasty. Both were sweet, but "juniorly" so. Junior Cookies is definitely a grab-and-go location, but there is some seating indoors and outdoors. The interior though small was quite well decorated and very inviting. Along with cookies, we had cold milk, and that was probably the icing on top... I'm sold. I may not enjoy cookies and sweets, but Junior Cookies will always have a sweet spot in my heart.

We tried the cinnamon roll (OMG) the almond croissant, the blueberry scone, the pain au chocolat, banana bread, and a savory jambon Gruyère pastry (sooo good). There are literally no bad choices. The bakery is warm and welcoming, and the aroma of baked goods hits you before you even get in the door. The space is tight but they move people in and out quickly. There was a great selection of pastries, cookies and breads. Next time I will need to try their bread - the loaves were like works of art!

Just walk in, skip the line and pay for your pre-order and done. I enjoy this experience immensely. There were 3 households worth of treats split between 4 boxes. The regular croissants are delicious. You get a small hit of French butter, but it also feels like there's been a slight fermentation of the dough itself. I feel like they bake the croissants just a touch longer to caramelize. The flavor of this croissant is complex. You can taste the effort that goes into it. The 4 I got for my household disappeared instantly. The Kouign Amman is currently being filled with a peach jam. Run for it. It was the one thing that was still warm when we picked up and it was amazing. Delicious and warm caramelized pastry with a generous dollop of also warm peach jam. It's the best KA I've had...ever. The scones are big enough for 3-4 people to share. If you try to polish the Boursin by yourself, you'll not need lunch and you'll only need a small salad for dinner. If you made a breakfast sandwich with this scone, it would be a great decadent meal. The blueberry was also a winner. The cinnamon rolls received high marks in my house. Rewarmed in the toaster oven or the microwave (the toaster oven was better), they disappeared and are now the house preferred cinnamon roll. It's like a croissant and a perfect cinnamon roll had a baby. The added bonus is that the sum of its parts is balanced and not too sweet. Makes it easier to finish a whole in one sitting...the chowpups know how to eat. Loved the pistachio lemon croissant. Fantastic. No notes. Want something different? The Farmer's Market danish is the laminated pastry filled with Weiser potatoes, onions, cheese and herbs. So good. Not pictured: pain au chocolat, almond croissant, banana bread...these all went to my parents. Word is that their box was empty in about 36 hours. Petitgrain is a gem. Y'all on the Westwide are lucky to have it. I'd definitely come here more often if the level of effort was low. Props to the team here for having our entire order ready and just being so lovely.

So I did. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: Didn't see a restroom. :) Wait Time: Can be long. Luckily, I didn't wait long when I patronized the shop. Location/Parking: Located in a plaza on the NW corner of Sawtelle Blvd. and W. Olympic. There's a couple of shared 15 minute parking spots in the parking lot, paid parking structure, or meter parking along Olympic, Sawtelle, or surrounding streets. I did find a secret place with free 2 hour parking on the NE corner of Purdue Ave. and Olympic Blvd.. :) Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with a few modern furnishings to sit, eat, and enjoy ones company. Service: Service was great! Tera (staffer) was very nice, attentive, offered great suggestions, and was quite informative about the shop. She also informed me that I was able to get two complimentary macarons. Patisserie Of Choice: 1) Blossom: Consisted of vanilla mousse, pistachio/red berries insert, pistachio crunch, and pistachio sponge. It was too pretty to eat, but I ate it anyways. So good and soo yum! 2) Roche: Consisted of hazelnut mousse, house made praline combined with soft caramel, hazelnut sponge. Taste like a Ferrer Rocher! It's very dense and sweet, but great to eat. Not something I'll have all the time. Macarons Of Choice : I got the Cookies and Cream and pistacio. They were both good. Artelice Patisserie For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back.

I have meetings here, casual lunches, meet-ups of one sort or another. It pains me to give it only one star in terms of service. This is the 3rd time I've experienced being overlooked standing in line to order, by the same wait person - a young man, bright smile, animated personality. The 3rd time, unfortunately, is the charm and I will have to give Jyan Issac a pass! Each instance has involved, first, simply not being seen (i.e., invisible) standing in line. In this recent moment, I'm in line wearing an orange hat, red sunglasses, an orange tee shirt and at least 3 inches taller than woman standing behind me! I am a black woman. The young man and the woman know each other, start a friendly conversation and then he proceeds to take her order. When he finally recognizes he'd skipped over me, he stops and takes my order. He struggles when it comes to even listening to my order. I always have to repeat myself and still, often unsuccessful. I say, "to go" and it comes out plated to eat in. I say, "not toasted" and he has to ask again. Same guy. Same story. He always apologizes profusely and gives me a free pastry to compensate. I've gotten 3 free pastries, same reason, same person. These kinds of consistent occurrences would spark a more animated response from some folks, justifiably. However "nice" this server is, he also seems unable to see me in front of him. I do intend to share this pattern of customer service with my multicultural circle of friends and colleagues, who also love this place.

Chef Yang Soon began developing the reimagined classic Helms Bakery twelve years ago but could not have anticipated the huge changes that were to hit the dining landscape with the Covid pandemic. The decline of going out / dining out, changes in spending habits and the rise of delivery services made this Art Deco styled concept bakery financially unsustainable. Helms has a fascinating history. In 1932 their bread, Olympic Bread, was declared the official bread of the Olympic Games. This led to worldwide recognition. Delivery wagons, or coaches, brought bread, doughnuts and other baked goods to Angelenos' homes with their slogan, "Daily at Your Door." Helms was the bread that astronauts in Apollo 11 took to the moon. World Famous. I've sampled many items in my several visits (driving all the way to Culver City from the SF Valley.) *Breakfast burrito, $14 *Prosciutto/Persimmon sandwich, $17 *Coffee Cake, $5 *Cherry Pie slice, $12 *Nutella-stuffed cookie, $7 *Oat & Medjool Date cookie, $4.50 *Corn & Caramel cookie, $5 *Pistachio & chocolate cookie, $7 *Pecan Molasses, $5 On previous visits: *Olive Oil Cake *Corn Cake All of the above were made with high-quality ingredients, and thus sold at a high price point. All well-crafted and extremely delicious in my opinion. I will miss this place tremendously. I sincerely hope that Chef makes good on opening a Helms bakery in another location in the near future. I'll drive across town for that! R.I.P Helms original, 1931 - 1969 Helms reimagined, November 2024 / December 14, 2025
