    Wow, I was gifted with a Lemon Blueberry Crumb Cake, Carrot Cake, Texas Sheet Cake and a Chocolate Chip cookie by my sister in California after she saw this vegan bakery featured in VegNews. She said the process to ship was easy and the price fair. She was notified the minute it was left at my door. The packaging was beautiful and the cookies in perfect shape...even with our 100 degree weather today. I inhaled half of one before reading they should be frozen, then served warm. I can't wait to try them all. I didn't think I cared about baked goods...apparently, I wasn't having the right ones. (I had no idea they were vegan until I read the fine print. Bonus!) And what a selection.

    I got the eggnog soft serve and my daughter got the vanilla. They both came with a mini gingerbread cookie. It's all vegan.

    Maya's cookies is an amazing little hidden treasure. I love getting holiday treats or gifts for people, including my family. All of the items are undetectably vegan. Amazingly delicious and so hard to decide which flavors to get. At the San Diego location there is oatmilk soft serve in addition to the various types of cookies. There's a small area to eat outside or takeout and shipping is available.

    Very, very small cookie shop tucked into the corner of an anonymous office complex (though it wasn't that hard to find). The signs outside did help locate the place and told people what flavors of cookies were available. However, going into the place, the flavors were somewhat limited. I only wanted five of the flavors, which ended up being chocolate peanut butter, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, marble fudge, and chocolate peppermint bark. The girl behind the counter convinced me to get one more to make it a half dozen. Of the three flavors I didn't pick, I was most intrigued by the pumpkin cinnamon bun so I chose that one. I just had that cookie, and it was pretty good. I do have to say that these are relatively expensive cookies. I paid $30 total for six cookies, which comes out to an even $5 per cookie. Yes, the cookies are larger than normal and vegan, but still. I think that's a rather excessive price point for a cookie. I do like the carrying case for the cookies.

    All of the cookies.

    These have been my favorite cookies for years. The flavors are so unique and they change every month with the exception of some of her staple flavors. The cookies are massive and the quality is so high I have never had qualms about the price. There aren't a lot of shops and flavors like this for vegan out there, even in southern California. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. The interior and exterior have a hot pink theme that is very fun. There are a couple of little tables and a bench outside. Plenty of parking in the lot. I have driven to San Diego from LA multiple times specifically for these cookies. I wish we would get a location up here too!

    Long hair baked in the cookie

    I went to this place because it was highly reviewed. I certainly wanted to like these cookies, because I had a sweet tooth. Here is a breakdown of my experience. Pros: -There is parking -The Ube cookie was really good (before I found the hair). Cons: - Place is hard to find. Tucked away in a business park. - Cookies are expensive. I got 6 for $29. - The taste is okay. These cookies are not great. - There was a long hair baked into a cookie, therefore the cookies ended up going in the trash. Bottom line: I recommend skipping this place unfortunately. The cookies are overpriced for the taste/quality that you get. I also question the hygiene practices of the bakery as I had a long hair baked into my cookie...

    Store front in Grantville area has everything you need. Before you walk in, you inhale a waff of sweet delicious baked goods. Store has cookies, merchandise, cookies dough, and packaged drinks in fridge. I bought the half dozen and chose six cookies. Taste of all cookies is the home made feels. Crispy edges, caramelized sugar, softer center. Large size cookies. All delicious, choose your favorite.

    Wow what a sweet little gem! Family is down in San Diego for the weekend and wanted a sweet snack and found this place on yelp. Not a large selection, but enough and the taste is delicious! We got half a dozen cookies to share now and some for later. The staff was nice, small place so only saw one person working the storefront is cute. The street can be misleading because it looks like industrial warehouses.

    Who would have thought vegan cookies could be so delicious! We bought a few boxes for our employees and I devoured a few before we got to work haha! The creative variety of cookies and consistently deliciousness had me sold. I loved the chocolate chip, matcha, Oreo, etc - I could go on and on about them.

    I first learned about Maya's cookies at the Orange County Fairgrounds during a vegan festival. I bought a bunch of them and I was sold! Unfortunately, there is no store in Orange County but they do offer delivery and I have definitely taken advantage of that on various occasions and have also been gifted cookies via delivery. The cookies are so flavorful, gooey, chewy sweet and delicious. Exactly how you expect a cookie to taste. And they're big! The texture is amazing. It's hard to believe they're vegan. Also there's so many flavors to choose from especially with the rotating menu. I have never been to the actual store, but, at the vegan festival, the booth was super cute and the employees were nice and helpful. I think I even met Maya . The experience and the cookies left a great impression on me. I have yet to find a comparable place in Orange County.

    After a family dinner party recently, I brought out a plate of Maya's cookies after dinner - and the crowd went wild! Only after everything was devoured did I dare say that they were vegan. My nearly exclusively carnivore family was shocked! And then said that they didn't believe me! Yes, Maya's cookies are THAT GOOD. I'm not vegan, more of a flexitarian, and Maya's cookies are my favorite cookies hands down! I'm trying to treat myself better, and part of that plan is to stop at Maya's more often. About a week ago I stopped by and got a Wheat Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and a Tuxedo (?) which had black and white chocolate chips. I'm a fan of everything here. Definitely treat yourself to Maya's!

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

I thought it was tasty as well as their coffee, however my coffee wasn't filled up all the way. It is strong and their roast is bold! I liked it a lot, although a lunch meal can get costly so it would just be from time to time if I were to revisit. Not only that, but they also have a small selection of gelatos which look pretty authentic like Spumoni! Other desserts I saw were mousse, tiramisu, cannoli, cheesecake, carrot cake, and rugelach. The cafe is small and the service may take a bit if you are waiting for the food, but overall, I enjoyed my coffee and sandwich.
