I am legit addicted to Kelley's (I mean, who's not?!) I often buy their gift boxes for the holidays. Not only are the cookies yummy but it takes the stress out of figuring out what to gift peeps. People who are tasting for the 1st time always say to me, "It's SO GOOD" with their eyes wide in disbelief LOL. I've even shipped these cookies overseas & it's always nice to let ppl know it's a local product that can't be found anywhere other than SoCal. :) read more

Omg! The peppermint shortbread ones are delicious! Coworker brought them in and everyone went crazy. What a mood booster and great treat. These cookies are awesome! read more

Kelley's Kookies - So yummy! - Bakeries Near Me - Stanton, California

I can get Kelley's Kookies at Marukai and some other places in San Diego but the actually bakery has the best assortment and some new flavors like Mai Tai. They are located in a little strip mall next to a reptile store. All of their cookies are absolutely delicious. I have had almost every variety and haven't had a bad one yet. The shortbread are the best and I'm partial to the Neapolitan since it has some strawberry flavored shortbread in it. Service was friendly! Stop by if you ever find yourself in Cypress/Stanton. read more

Very cute place. They changed the art in the front window and whomever the artist is AMAZING. Anyway, I have been watching Ted Lasso and Ted brings Rebecca these delicious looking cookies that reminded me of these cookies so I stopped by. When I walked in, it unfortunately did not smell the scrumptious smell of cookies. It smelled like...packaging? But I proceeded to get a few types of cookies, I HAD to have those Ted Lasso "biscuits." So, I chose the walnut chocolate chip, cafe moments and guava dreams. I also got my free dipped cookie for checking in. I decided on the Neapolitan. Let's get down to the merchandise breakdown: -Walnut Chocolate Chip: IYKYK that walnuts in a chocolate chip cookie is PRIMO and these did not disappoint. Bite size, buttery and perfect ratio of chocolate to walnut. This gets Betty's Check of approval. -Cafe Moments: these were so luxurious! The lady that helped me (she did not give her name) told me these are what everyone these eats when they need a little pick me up. I thought it was going to be like a sandy texture, but it was not. Very silky and definitely melts in your mouth. At the end I had a couple of very small coffee bean grinds in my mouth but it was not unpleasant at all. This gets Betty's Check of approval. -Guava Dreams: these were the Tad Lasso cookie look a-likes. What a disappointment. I was waiting for a buttery, soft taste but instead I got an almost stale taste. As I finished the only bite I was able to take, I realized that it tasted like they used ghee instead of butter. Now I did not ask about it, but for me, it was not my preferred taste. The guava filling was sweet and had little chunks in it, very good mouthfeel. I would not buy again. -Neapolitan Dipped Shortbread: I mean I loved the walnut chocolate chip but this was next level! So good! strawberry section was my favorite and with the chocolate covered part it tasted like a chocolate dipped strawberry! This gets Betty's Check of approval. One star down for the smell and for the price, although they are delicious, still a bit pricey. read more

Great quality shortbread with wide variety of flavors as well as dipped options. Perfect for gourmet gifts for teachers, family, friends, & self. :D They sell these in Whole Foods and other high end gift shops / grocery stores. I've always felt these were the freshest here. Happy to see them thriving throughout the pandemic, etc. A few restaurants in this plaza closed after / during the pandemic. read more

During a shopping trip at Super Mira in San Francisco's Japantown, I came upon a prominent display (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-FjqKSDHrx_wK6yVBTR4hg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); after a quick look, I shared the photo with my fellow cookie monster and we deliberated on what to try. Feeling guilty in eating quite a bit of sweets of late, I limited myself to one bag to try first. My friend was brave likely hungrier and tried a couple of other flavors. The one that caught my eye was the lemon shortbread cookies (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=z4w3qR3D4SxnjZXVnK32GA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) as it's been a while since I'd had lemon cookies with powdered sugar. I enjoyed them but rationed myself to two cookies per sitting. I like how the fine sugar powder gives a cooling or soothing sensation to the cookie. The lemon flavor was prominent but not overwhelmingly so. I have not spoken with my friend yet about hers yet. I hope this display is still up on my next visit so I can try some other flavors. read more

This store smells HORRIFIC. There is no way I would ever purchase cookies from a store that smells like this. Terrible!

The best cookie... macadamia chocolate are so yummy, crunchy delicious . Chocolate chip krispy oatmeal another delicious cookie. At this location they give you a free cookie. read more

Stopped by to get some gift boxes for Case Management week! They had a great variety of cookies but ran out of the macadamia nut/chocolate shortbreads. I was super bummed! Anyhow, ordering is made easy as they have the menu boards. They also bake fresh cookies and it smelled really good. We ended up spending about 200+ bucks and it was totally worth it all. Next time, we will try the newest cookies they have on the counter! The inside is pretty cool and open! They have a window so you can see when they do bake and cool cookies! read more

Excellent cookies but today I was told was the last day this store would be open. Evidently the owner has decided to just sell his cookies online or at a few stores such as Mitsuwa. Sad to see this happen. I want to wish Kelley's cookies the best and hope this change works for them. read more

We've been going to Kelley's for years and we love them all. They are simplistic and clean in packaging, but they have excellent gift wrap options. As for the cookies, you can't go wrong with any of them. My favorites are the melting moments and the guava dreams. They are as good as they sound. Check-in Yelp for a cookie! read more

My family went to Kelly's on 12/31/2024 at about 12:30pm. The store was empty as we walked in,we weren't greeted or acknowledged in any way. I asked for the peppermint cookies only to be ignored as the young lady and guy joked and coversated between themselves. I asked about the cookies gift boxes, the guy barely answered. We paid and I don't remember them saying have a nice day or goodbye,again store completly empty. Once out of the store I told my husband we had not bought enough cookies. His answer was, they don't want our business it's ok not to give it to them. For years we enjoyed Kelly's cookies as many of our friends gift them to us throughout the years. We also enjoy to gift them to friends and neighbors during the holidays however it is not necessary. When treated poorly by businesses or their employees who are a reflection of them,it's ok to no longer support them. Just not worth it for me, disappointing. read more

Poor service, owner very cold and couldn't care less that i just spent $200.00, place smells like nasty reptiles, no wonder that is what they are next to. Maybe they could work on customer service. Very sad, I will find another cookie place that will value their customers and not smell like a pet shop! read more

First time at this shortbread cookie location and I was very impressed. Very clean location and prices and demo cookies were on display. I was greeted by two very friendly staff members and they recommended various types of flavors for me to choose from. I ended up customizing my gift box and chose a set of pecan flavored ones as well as individual cookies. I got the chocolate covered macadamia, Neapolitan, plain macadamia, and orange chocolates dipped flavored shortbread cookies. They were all so tasty and fresh. The best thing is with a Yelp check in you get a free dipped cookie. Woot woot! Definitely coming back again to try other flavors soon. read more

Have a soft spot for freshly baked, delicately crumbly, buttery melt-in-your-mouth shortbread? This modest Stanton storefront is where it's at! Their only other retail store is in South Pasadena, but you can also find these baked gems neatly tucked inside custom wooden displays at various markets like Bristol Farms, Gelson's, Irvine Ranch Market, Tokyo Central, and Mitsuwa. For first-timers, I suggest assembling this essential starter kit: * Melting Moments * Macadamia Shortbread * Cafe Moments * Chocolate Dipped Macadamia The price point is definitely on the high end, but I dare say, they're more finely constructed than the comparable and more ubiquitous Honolulu Cookie Co's cookies. They've also been around longer too. If you're not familiar with either brands, but you've had Walkers shortbread before---trust me, you haven't really had proper shortbread cookies. Kelley's Kookies are another level. They're a humble treat best served along with a glass of warm milk or an aromatic hot tea, something like Twinings Jasmine Green Tea or Hawaiian Islands Coconut Macadamia Herbal Tea. I think we all deserve an extra-special-melting-moment kind of break right about now ^⁠_⁠^ read more

I'm so grateful that this is local to me. You would normally find their cookies in Japanese markets. They're so addictive and delicious. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood , I would also visit this spot. My go to is the miniature cookies and chocolate covered shortbread. Yum! read more

I placed an online order for the Holiday dessert kit on December 13 and it arrived within 5 days. My friends loved the cookies; the macarons were a hit! Thank you for a wonderful product and excellent customer service. read more

K is for Kookie that's good enough for me!! Nom nom nom. Kraving a shortbread cookie? Well Kelly's Kookies has you covered. The Melting moments and chocolate dipped shortbread are my favorite. If you get the Melted moments be prepared for a mess. That powdered sugar gets everywhere. Be ready to eat the whole bag they are that good. I've been here a few times already. Now that Covids here the set up is a tad different. All the cookies are ready to go but behind the counter. You have to tell them what you want and they will grab it for you. Service was just okay. I also wish I knew how old the cookies were. Instead there is just an expiration date of about 30 days. Masks are required and no cash accepted. Just CC cards. read more

Kelley's Kookies are so good!! My MiL gave me the chocolate dipped macadamia and I fell in love. I'm not a chocolate person, but the half dipped shortbread was perfectly balanced. It is their best seller!! I had to see if there was a store and found this one in Stanton. When I walked into the store, I saw the wall of cookies and the ones on display. I couldn't decide what I wanted to try! My husband loved dark chocolate so I bought their limited cookies: triple chocolate delight and the almond chocolate dipped shortbread. I also tried their macadamia cookies which were amazing! read more

Melting Moments. Dangerously addictive. Just be careful when eating them in the office if you're a slob like me. I've had a coworker awkwardly look at me and furiously wipe their nose. Opps, booger sugar. Not that kind but yea... These Melting Moments are a lighter, less sweet version of Mexican wedding cookies (walnut cookies dusted with powdered sugar). Kinda pricey at over $7 for a small bag but they're worth it and you're supporting a small family business. The Melting Moments have been my #1 go-to snack during this lockdown. And, I don't feel terrible about eating them since each cookie has only 1 gram of sugar. Kelley's Kookies' other cookies are good but the Melting Moments are where it's at! read more

Kelley's Kookies - TT silently judging my SIP snack choices but what he doesn't know is that each cookie has only 1g of sugar. Love these walnut cookies! - Bakeries Near Me - Stanton, California

Hey guys, I went to Kelly's Kookies in Stanton today to pick up the cookies I ordered for Christmas gifts. I love their macadamia and chocolate dipped cookies. I was about to leave but I saw this miniature cakes and bought 2 mini cream ch2 flourless chocolate cakes. I ate it after dinner and the cake was soooo good and I can taste the vanilla that they used was a high quality vanilla paste. If you are in Pasadena or Stanton CA. You should try it. read more

What a neat little bakery - amongst a ton of competition for your sweet tooth in North OC Kelley's kookies still stands out as a favorite for, well, cookies (more like biscuits): Nice, subtle flavor-combos (chocolate dipped macadamia and 'Maitai') compliment well a bitter cup of joe . I really enjoyed the goods from this spot. Definitely on my radar for holiday and other gift ideas. 4 bright stars. read more

This place has been a mainstay in the area for many years and they never disappoint. It's still the same, high quality cookies I was accustomed to when I was a kid. Their cookies are homemade and have a unique, delicious flavor and texture. They make for a great gift for any occasion. I recommend the macadamia chocolate chip or the white chocolate macadamia, but it just depends what you're in the mood for. You can't go wrong with any of the choices. read more

Ugh these cookies, yummmm The prices are a bit steep for cookies (the package is a personal size serving for $7 a bag), but damn they're delicious. It's definitely a splurge kind of place for yourself. Think, Sprinkles but with cookies not cupcakes. My favorites: melt in your mouth cookie, the white powdered wedding cookie. Omg, it's dangerous. This is by far my favorite cookie in the entire universe & Kelley's cookies has got it down! Ugh, thank gawd they're expensive or else I'd have diabetes or something! Classic chocolate chip with Macadamians, they're crispy & buttery & chocolatey. Another classic, the regular shortbread cookies. These too are buttery, light & absolutely to die for. With a cup of tea to go with it! Yessss please! It's really a damn shame diabetes runs in my family...but, honestly, I don't even care! I freakin' love Kelley's cookies! Oh! & p.s. Rascal's Teriyaki grill in Long Beach, CA sells these cookies in their restaurant if you can't get to this store location. read more

Woke up craving Hawaiian cookies with macadamia nuts, similar to Honolulu Cookie Co. went on Yelp and found this spot in Anaheim. Open on a Sunday afternoon, yes!! Easy to find, easy to park. Pretty good selection. Service was decent, not cold, but not overly friendly and excited that customers walked in. Don't need anyone to be fake, but the worker could be more personable. Not gonna rate this low because it matters to me that local businesses thrive in this market. However, I hope that this feedback makes its way to management. Can't remember the store design, so can't speak to that. It didn't matter to me, just wanted cookies. And again, service counts. It's what makes me want to come back. I guess I expect hospitable vibes to align with the brand. Cookies were great btw. Finished a bag of chocolate dipped cookies within a day. read more

I picked up a trio gift box for the teacher. Love the ability to customize the box. Thank you for the delicious lemon cookie sample! You can taste fresh lemon, hint of sour, yet well balanced with sugar topping. This will be added to my next order. Customer care is great here, especially using my email to earn rewards! I was able to save $5 this trip, yay!! read more

COVID-19: As of 10.23.20, the store was open for in person shopping. Employees were very nice and helpful with recommendations. Parking: Private lot. I'm going to list what we got from my favorite to least: Macadamia Chocolate Chip $7.25: Mini, crunchy chocolate chip cookies. These make such an addicting snack. I really like Tate's Bake Shop Cookies and these are reminiscent of that. Shortbread $7.25: So plain looking, but so buttery and delicious. I tried shortbread cookies from Bakery Nouveau after returning to Seattle, but Kelley's shortbread was definitely superior. Chocolate Dipped Macadamia Shortbread $7.25: This was also good except I did not like the chocolate dipped part. I feel the cookie doesn't need it. Neapolitan Delight 1 free cookie with Yelp check in: We tried one as part of the Yelp check in offer. I liked the strawberry part of the cookie. Like with the above, I could do without the cookie being chocolate dipped. Peanut Butter $7.25: These were also mini crunchy cookies, but I prefer peanut butter cookies to be soft and chewy so I didn't like these as much. Cafe Moments $7.25: The texture is interesting. It does kind of melt in your mouth. I did not enjoy the coffee flavor in this, but would be open to trying the regular Melting Moments one day. ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here. read more

I can't quite express how much I love these cookies. I've been enjoying these for years. The biggest complement I can give is that they remind me of home cooked cookies - except I could never bake cookies that look this good. If you look at their small chocolate chip cookies (and all the variations), as well as the peanut butter cookies. . .they look like something you'd bake at home. And they taste home made too. Sometimes, you eat something that tastes good, but the more you eat of it, the more you realize there's something in there that isn't quite natural tasting. But Kelley's Kookies just taste like natural ingredient, recipe-perfected heavenly treats, no matter how many you eat. I feel like The Cookie Monster, just wanting to stuff handful after handful into my mouth. It's kind of sad, but a good kind of sad. I usually stick to my old standby favorites (mini chocolate chip cookies, Kelley's Delight, fruit-sandwiched shortbread (xxx Dreams), Melting and Cafe Moments, etc. But when I've tried new variations (Orange or Banana Delight, lemon or pumpkin shortbread, it's ALL been good. Yes, they're kind of expensive, but it's an indulgence and you should treat yourself now and then. And I don't mind paying for quality. I just received a mail order from them - $66.25 worth (hey, I had to get free shipping, right?). Very very well packed, shipped UPS so they arrived quickly. Now my holidays are set and even though sheltering at home kind of sucks, I can enjoy my cookies while at home. If you check out my other reviews, you'll see that they aren't all favorable, nor do I write a lot of them. But when you run into a great business like this, you're inspired to give props. My highest recommendation to Kelley's Kookies. And also, I've always received great service when going into the store and buying in person. The many samples (at least pre-COVID), were always an incentive as well. And if you go in, you should definitely try the hand-dipped custom shortbread cookies. Really, really great too. Dark chocolate, okay? Don't do milk or white - that's wasting a perfectly good piece of shortbread. Dark, dark, dark. read more

Best short bread treats I had. Good taste and not overly sweet. The orange flavor with dark chocolate was my favorite. Treats are also individually wrapped. Nice for gifts during covid. Great cookie with some coffee as well. Will come back for more read more

Good place! Good treats. Fun place to get little gifts for people! The cookies are very good and not overly sweet.

I bought the banana delight and blueberry dream. The chocolate on the banana delight was surprisingly melty, which caught me off guard. This was a good thing though. Most of the time I expect my chocolate to be hardened on cookies, but this one was smooth and tasted great! The blueberry dream was shortbread with some blueberry filling. I wasn't a huge fan, but it was still good nonetheless! I tried my girlfriend's White Russian and I understood why she bought two. Those things are incredible and deserve your attention if you aren't looking for them. Try one box and you'll be hooked! read more

I am a huge fan of shortbread cookies, so when I found Kelley's Kookies on yelp, I was excited to give it a try. Firstly, parking was easy, despite the lot seeming full. Secondly, the customer service was excellent. The employee was very friendly and helpful as she provided me with different samples and recommendations. I ended up purchasing a set of 5 shortbread-dipped cookies. I got three white chocolate with sea salt, a white chocolate with toffee (their current seasonal topping), and a milk chocolate with peanuts shortbread cookie. My favorite was the sea salt white chocolate cookie, as I absolutely love salty desserts. I also purchased a box of the guava dream cookies, as I was told most customers love the guava the best out of the filled cookies (they also have blueberry, raspberry, and cherry). The guava dream cookies were just ok, and not worth purchasing again, at least for me. I personally liked the raspberry sample I had in the store better, so maybe I'll get that next time. Price: This place is so expensive! The box of 4 guava dream cookies was $7 and the set of 5 dipped shortbread cookies was $8. So I spent $15 for 9 cookies. But even though they're really expensive, the quality of the gourmet cookies is so much better than regular old cookies or grocery store cookies. Obviously I can't afford to come here regularly, but when the mood for high-end cookies hits me I will definitely return. So if you're a shortbread lover like me, then this place is worth hitting up at least once. read more

Cookies are my weakness especially fresh baked short breads! I heard about Kelly's cookies earlier this week and had to stop by. Cute little shop. Very clean and bright. The guy working there was very friendly! His customer service is beyond excellent. I was so indecisive with all the different kinds they had there and he just kept offering to let me try whichever I'd like to. I ended up getting the espresso ones and the coconut/white chocolate short bread. Both flavors are amazing, very rich. Definitely going back to try the other ones soon! read more

Who thinks cookies are one of the best snacks ever? Well, I sure think so. They also make great gifts! Stopped by a few months ago give them a try. I did not realize that the cookies they sell are so expensive. Most of their little packages of cookies range in price from $7 to $8. Sampled a couple of their cookies before deciding on two flavors. Peppermint Shortbread which we gave to a friend who really appreciated it. Chocolate Dipped Macadamia Shortbread cookies for my wife and I. Personally, I thought it tasted fine, but was overpriced. My lovely bride, on the otherhand, said they were one of the best cookies she's ever eaten!!! So she rates them 5 stars. Sorry, though, cause I'm the one writing. For my tastebuds, Kelley's Kookies rate a solid 3 stars. I will still return from time to time, though, cause Wifey thinks they are 5 Stars worthy!! read more
