Stopped by their tent at Vegfest Santa Cruz today. The people working the booth were super friendly. I tried their Banana Walnut cookie and took a S'mores cookie to go for my mom. They were $6 each, so not the cheapest, but the Banana Walnut cookie was so yummy, it was totally worth the price. If I had a bigger sweet tooth, I might have bought a whole box, but I only managed to finish half of my cookie, even though I loved it. I highly recommend trying their cookies! read more

I visited Maya's Cookies again on a Sunday morning, February 1, 2026, after my mother saw a news story (KUSI) about their delicious variety. She suggested we go, and though she didn't realize I had been before, I was more than happy to return. especially with Valentine's Day approaching, and to celebrate Black History throughout the month of February. Maya's is tucked away in a business park, , but it's adorable with its pink awning and cozy atmosphere. They offer a wide range of flavors, all vegan, but they taste just like classic cookies, so whether you're vegan or not, you'll love them. I even met Maya this time. She was so kind and the counter girl was equally friendly. This is the perfect treat for yourself or a loved one, Maya's Cookies will never disappoint! #mayascookies #yelpsandiego #sandiego #cookies #kusi read more

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. read more

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. read more

Maya's Cookies - I got the eggnog soft serve and my daughter got the vanilla. They both came with a mini gingerbread cookie. It's all vegan. - Desserts Near Me - San Diego, California

I finally got to try these cookies. They were at the Chula Vista farmers market and they did not disappoint. I went with "the everything" and "the blueberry lemon" they were both phenomenal. The outside and bottom were the perfect amount of crispy with a nice chewy middle. I look forward to try more flavors next time. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We came to Mayas 10 year anniversary celebration. They gave out goodie bags for the first 100 customers and had a lot of pop up Vegan vendors. Mayas shop is a small walk in shop. They have a selection of vegan cookies, vegan soft serve, and coffee. You order at the counter and your order is given right away. I ordered the pumpkin pecan cinnamon roll (cookie) and s'mores cookie. Delicious!!! read more

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... read more

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. read more

Ok I didn't even know there was a storefront!! I picked up a six pack at the Hillcrest Farmers Market this morning because they looked so amazing. And yes, they were as good as they looked!! They are all huge, giant cookies. The one packed with everything was phenomenal. There were pretzel pieces on top even, try that one!! But honestly each one was really good. I love cookies and these are some of the best. Chewy, soft but with a good bite. Will be back for more!! read more

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. read more

Love the cookies. My family was in town and I had to let them taste the cookies. I've always caught them at a street fair. This time I went to the location. The service was nice and swift. The vibe of the store was entrepreneur. Go get yourself some cookies and ice cream. I promise you will not regret it! read more

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!

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. read more

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! read more

Very cute space! It's located in an industrial area and wasn't too difficult to find. To be fair we weren't specifically coming here (at first),, it happened to be near where we had lunch. I checked them out on Yelp and decided to swing by. We were greeted warmly immediately upon arrival (sorry but didn't happen to catch a name) and we took a moment to take in the bakery case. We each finally decided on a chocolate chip macadamia and a Famous Everything cookie. Epic! Believe me when I tell you it was scrumptious!!! This spot blows away the other cookie establishments. You know we will be back! read more

Bought a cookie at the hillcrest farmers market and it was delicious! My daughter has food allergies and they warned us what not to order. We got the birthday cake cookie and it was yummy. It was a good size cookie and chewy and soft too which was great! Definitely will come back when we are in the area or if we ever see it again. I think it was $5 a cookie at the market that day. read more

These are truly some of the BEST cookies I've had in a long time. Had a random craving with my work bestie and so I made the drive to pick up a half dozen that we shared between us. These cookies are full of flavor, huge, and satisfy sweet tooth cravings like no other. We split snickerdoodles, smores cookies, and a birthday cookie (sprinkles galore). They seem to rotate their flavors which is nice so you can try a bit of everything, but do seem to have some that regularly stay on the menu as well. I definitely will have this spot added to my regular rotation whenever I'm craving delectable cookies. read more

Best vegan cookies ever! Cute little store and great customer service. I live in LA but have to make a pit stop any time I'm in San Diego.

Was recommended Maya's Cookies from a friend saying they were the best cookies in San Diego. Didn't realize they were vegan coming in and was surprised how good they are for being vegan. Located in a small office spot, they have many flavors along with ice cream and other treats. The cookies were more hard and stuck to my teeth which I didn't like but since they are vegan it's what one should expect. The flavor itself is on point and I loved how many options there are. Check Maya's out for some delicious vegan cookies. read more

They have oatly soft serve too but it's not my favorite. Stick to the vegan cookies!! Quick service and across from the post office. A few parking spots in the lot, this shop is on the corner, look for the pink signs. read more

TL;DR: Good cookies, friendly staff - take home and reheat if you want to get it chewier Not exactly the easiest place to find but once you're there, you get lured in by smelling the sugar and cookies :) Only wanted one and tried the snickerdoodle - not too sweet but cold and a little on the stale side (might've sat too long in the box?) Recommend coming early in the open hours to hopefully catch fresh cookies - be back next time! Cheers, Maya's! read more

Whenever I go to farmers markets, Hillcrest or Little Italy, I always stop at mayas booth! It's really great that they have an actual store to visit when the farmers market isn't running. It's off the 8 freeway and kind of tucked away but there are signs to help you find the store on the corner and there are few spots in the parking lot as well as street parking. The shop itself is pretty small to the point: they have merch, the cookies, and their kitchen in the back. They have revolving flavors, which is nice to have items and rotations to come back and try!! Snickerdoodle is my all-time favorite, but they are s'mores and chocolate chip are also very good. I really love this place because I am lactose intolerant so for them to be dairy free is awesome. Plus they taste amazing! If you are ever in the area or at one of the farmers markets, I highly recommend to stop and try them ! read more

Love these cookies! I usually buy a few when I see them at the farmers market and this was my first time at their physical location. It's small and a little out the way, but worth it. I've never had a cookie here I didn't like. They always have the texture I'm looking for in a cookie. Highly recommend the his place! read more

These cookies are so yummy! As soon as you walk into the shop, it smells like delicious goodness! I got the white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie, wheat free drunken grandma (oatmeal) cookie, Oreo cookie, and the s'mores cookie. There's so many options to choose from. I also love that they have the nutrition facts for most cookies listed on their website. These cookies are so good. You won't even realize that they are vegan! If you're nearby, please stop by or try them at the Hillcrest farmers market! You won't be disappointed! read more

I do not usually go for vegan food items or desserts but WOW were the cookies and ice good! I didn't even think about it being vegan it was just so darn tasty, tasted like a normal cookie! My daughter and I got the birthday cake cookie because she liked the look of the sprinkles as well as a ice cream with vanilla and chocolate. I'm currently on a diet restriction and the fact the ice cream is made with oat milk was really helpful for me! And it tasted good too! I'm totally coming back here for more cookies! I also love the location, it's nestled in a really quiet area and parking and stuff was a breeze! read more

I've been a fan of Mayas cookies for about 4 years now ish. First time I tried them was in a Long Beach vegan festival, then a few years back I came to their store in SD. All was good then. I just went today and I am so so so disappointed. The quality of the cookies seem the same but, there are less options now and at 12:40 pm there was only 4 cookies to pick from. The most disappointing thing was the cashier. She was a white tall woman and for a small business, she is a bad representation and seemed like she did not want to sell (that's a saying we have in Spanish). First, she sounded like it was a chore to sell cookies just not welcoming super bland. There was a limited amount of cookies and we would have waited for the rest but she didn't say when they would come out or if we stuck around then they'd be ready. I paid $33 for my cookies and gave her a $100 bill and she was so slooooow in doing the math. Customer service and availability of cookies are down and down bad. I wouldn't usually mind the dark ambience in the store if the cookies and experience was like I remembered but now it just adds to a depressing vibe. I will unfortunately no longer be recommend this place as I have for years. I will see if next time the quality and customer service is better. It sucks to see the quality and customer service go down in a place I loved. For an experience like this, might as well go to any other store for some cookies. read more

Hidden in industrial area but their are pink signs pointing the way. Visited just before closing on Thursday. Usually visited Maya cookies when they are at Vegan Exchange in North Hollywood which we did on Sunday prior to our trip but ran out so here we are. Inside is small but offers alot of variety of cookies & soft serve. We ordered 6 cookies, cookie batter & ube soft serve. Very good customer service. Met owner. She greeted us with her beautiful smile. Bonus go to their website & they ship to you. Also have catering. Highly recommend their vegan cookies. read more

Ube ice cream was good, came with a cookie and was $7 (their prices include taxes so that's the final price). I've had other cookies from them before and they're also really good. About the size of Crumbl cookies and I prefer Maya's - I love supporting small businesses and vegan establishments. A minor qualm I have is that I asked what the soft serve base was, the employee said coconut but then I went outside and saw a sign that said it was oat based (specifically Oatly brand). Luckily I'm not allergic to either, but it would be nice if they could be wary of that. There's a couple picnic tables outside if you want to sit, but I think most people just took their orders to go. read more

After getting Maya's cookie delivery through the mail for months, finally got to visit in person! Great fresh vegan cookies. Big selection.

Yummy cookies and unique flavors. I came in the last 10 mins they were open, and they had about 30 cookies left which is a lot. The taste is good but don't expect the warm, fresh type of cookies. I've gone at another time not at close and had the same experience with quality. They weren't zealous to get rid of the remaining cookies at the end of the day either which leaves me suspicious. They most likely will sell them the next day. read more

The food is pretty good, especially for being vegan. So nice to slowly tear. The service was fast. Hours are 11 to 5 though we came at 4:40 the cookies were warm! Maya came out special to meet my daughter. Once again cookies were delicious! Even the simple one. read more

Absolutely delicious cookies! Crispy crunch on the outer layer with a soft chewy center. My absolute favorite type of cookie and they are VEGAN! I first tried Maya's Cookies at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market but love that they have a brick and mortar shop now to pick up cookies everyday of the week. The brown butter cookie is incredible. It's hands down my favorite and tastes like a butter cake. I also recently tried a chocolate espresso cookie that was so unique and tasty! Everything is delicious and worth the visit to try! read more
