They just weren't good. Extremely dry, extremely crumbly, the longer they sat the worse they tasted. They were basically inedible and the flavor was so subtle, almost too subtle. I picked them up at a farmers market at the pier. Everyone I was with agreed that they just weren't executed well. The service was friendly, the goal is great, outcome needs practice. The price wasn't bad, $4 for 2 regular sized cookies. read more

No Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Oakland, California

I normally avoid vegan gluten-free versions of food items that are usually quite gluten heavy and distinctly non-vegan. Lots of bad past experiences with dry and tasteless impostors. But not here! One of my favorite traits of a good cookie is softness / gooeyness. Somehow they achieve that without any butter or milk or cream or eggs! And that great texture persists for days. Plus the flavoring is just amazing. Ginger Spice: Has a really nice ginger-tang. Reminds me of those soft ginger and sugar cookies you usually get around Christmas time. Also, super soft. Surprisingly "buttery" tasting for being vegan. Island Coconut: Even softer than the other cookies. So soft they start to fall apart if you don't fully support the whole cookie in the palm of your hand. But that's fine, the taste is awesome. So much grated coconut goodness. Chocolate Chip: This tasted a bit off. Probably because chocolate chip cookies are classic and I've formed certain expectations over the decades. I think the big issue here is that the cookie base is so nice and chewy but the chips are hard and dry, kinda powdery. I guess vegan chocolate is just not my thing. So their cookie baking is still on point, but the vegan chocolate vendor is pretty blah. Peanut Butter: If any type of cookie is a good fit for being vegan, it's peanut butter! Peanut butter is such a magical food because it is creamy and filling and satisfying and generally amazing whilst being vegan. I appreciated how in their cookie version there's lots of peanut bits in addition to the peanut butter heavy cookie, it was like some waved a magic wand and turned chunky peanut butter into a cookie! read more

See all

not a bad cookie but very sweet and not as healthy without eggs/butter/dairy. also barley still has gluten

The cookies are simply delicious and great alternative to the mainstream cookie. The service is always top notch. I received my order within days. Thanks so much. read more

Stopped by on impulse one Sunday at the Marin Civic Center Farmer's Market and now they're an essential part of the start of every week. Everything is delicious and No Cookie immediately stands apart from the horrible junk on most store shelves. The quality really shines -- and not just the baked goods but the people, too. Highly recommended. read more

NO WHEAT (GLUTEN), DAIRY, EGGS, TRANS FAT, REFINED SUGAR. 100% Vegan?!? Yet it is still chewy, moist, and delicious?!? HOW?!! The have some super secret way, or just some kind of witchcraft to make their cookies. This is the BEST cookie I've ever tasted to make such claims of above. It's amazing how they pulled it off. I was fortunate to try out their cookies at a Yelp event. I tried the CHOCOLATE CHIP, OATMEAL RAISIN, and GINGER SPICE. EACH ONE of those were so moist and chewy, but tasted LEGIT! They found some miracle ingredient or technique, it's unbelievable. That is why every other reviewers question it because you would never have thought this cookie to be the way it is. I am definitely a big fan. They say you can buy their products at WHOLE FOODS, so that should be available for most. You can also buy directly from their website. So if you are sensitive to pretty much everything, but still want your cookie without tasting fake--THIS IS THE SPOT! Of course price will be inflated due to the special nature of the ingredients used (err not used), but that should be expected. Don't have because of that. Lucky you if you don't need to watch for any ingredients in your food. But for others who do, and have tried other competition, you'll know why this place is amazing with their cookies. read more

I Recently discovered these at a Whole Foods in Berkeley and let me just say... You would never know this cookie is vegan! Seriously great all around (tastes amazing, good for your health AND for our planet). I would recommend these to anybody who thinks that the only things vegans can eat are carrot sticks and kale salads. read more

No Cookie - All gone! - Bakeries Near Me - Oakland, California

I haven't signed on to yelp to write a review in months... But these cookies are THAT delicious that they deserve every 5 star review that they have. Like everyone else, I stumbled upon these delectable morsels last time I was in Whole Foods (which is far too often, but such is life). I am always looking for natural yummy snacks to try and decided to pick these up mainly because I saw the cute girl on the package and wanted to support a local business. I couldn't believe how delicious and soft and chewy these things are - I tried chocolate chip, raisin walnut, and peanut butter. Like OMG, how are these so good?? And natural? And vegan? Seriously, I'm almost mad at myself for finding these magical cookies - now I'll never lose the last 5 pounds I've been trying to get rid of! read more

Their Oatmeal Raisin cookies are awesomely delicious!! So moist and not over-the-top sweet...just right. Best treat calories I ever spent Thank you for making such fabulousness! read more

It's like, where's the cookie? There's no cookie there. Like, they took all the ingredients out of making a cookie and you're eating some kind of phantasm. Amazingly good cookie. More and more I'm thinking that eggs, wheat, sugar and milk must just be cheats that get in the way of making a real cookie because this is better than any conventional packaged cookie out there. read more

I still rated this bakery 5 stars in this update, however I'm writing again to notify everyone interested that they are no longer at the location posted on both here and their website (Foothill Blvd)... Which was a big disappointment to me as I went to check 'em out finally the other day only to find a vacant unit! Hopefully they'll update their site soon on where to go for the actual, physical bakery... :O So, moral of the story is don't go looking for them yet cause you'll be disappointed! read more

I haven't been to the bakery itself in Oakland, but I have tasted the cookies that come from here - and they're AWESOME. (I've found them at Rainbow grocery in SF) I know I'll end up at the bakery sometime, so I'll update this later for sure... read more

My friends bought some of these after we sampled them at the Oakland Art Murmur. I don't know how they taste so good without the traditional ingredients. The Ginger Spice was by far the best. I will definitely seek them out again. This is just proof that baked vegan goods can taste good and the No Cookie is one of the best ways to show that. You can get them at Whole Foods apparently. Of all the flavours I sampled, I liked the Ginger Spice the best. Yum yum yum. read more

I just sampled the Ginger Spice "No Cookie" at Wholefoods on 4th/SF, and man it was just as the guy said: Delicious and Moist! These cookies are way better than any cookie I've ever had and even though they're packaged they taste homemade! Yummy in my tummy! read more

I found these cookies 30 miles from Oakland at store in the Russian River area. The ginger cookies are the best cookies I've had in awhile! They're soft-baked, extra chewy, and filled with so much flavor. I'm so happy to see that they're made so close to where I live in the Bay Area. But I'd definitely travel 30 miles again if I had to, because damn they're good!! read more

Love these cookies omg delicious the Ginger cookie is my favorite. Can't wait to try the others.

They are at the farmers market at the civic center in San Rafael on Sundays and they are so nice and their cookies are amazing!!! The ginger snap cookies are my favorite and my kids love the chocolate chip. We tried their pumpkin pie and lemon cheese pie and they were delicious. read more

These cookies are amazing! Soft chewy , perfect in every bite not too sweet but just right. My favorite is chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin. Unfortunately I haven't had the othe flavors such as the lemon or coconut. I heard that this amazing business is going out of business from a checker atvthe wholefoods- vilman location ... I truly hope it isn't so... this us the best cookie wholefoods sells! Very good product... my prayers and blessings go out to the family business! read more

This little bakery cranks out spectacular cookies. Here's the catch though...they're vegan. I know what you're thinking, but don't let the fact that they're vegan spoil it for you. Trust me, I'd eat a baby seal if you wrapped it in bacon, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a veggie burger or some incredible vegan cookies. About 13 year ago I interviewed the owner of the bakery for a magazine. As I left, he gave me something like a million cookies, fresh out of the oven, therefore ensuring my eternal love for No-cookies. Find them at a health store near you. read more

Someone repping no cookie gave me a sample a few years ago. The oatmeal cookies are on point! I gotta get my hands on a lemon no cookie one of these days. read more

I had a sample of the "No Cookie Cookie" when they first introduced their product at a Whole Foods, and couldn't believe it was vegan. It was moist, chewy, and satisfied your sweet tooth needs. They're also my favorite. I never feel guilty or overindulging after eating them. Best part: They're local. Support your local companies! read more

YUMMY YUMMY ALL VEGAN COOKIES. Check them out at Whole Foods that is where I buy them. Or I order online at nocookie.com. I'm vegan and I have been eating all the flavors for ten years. Ginger Spice is my fav and my kids LOVE chocolate chip. read more

OK, so no, I'm not a vegan, was introduced to these cookies in the health food store of Dr. Goss in the city of Compton. Let me just say, THESE COOKIES ARE AMAZING, FRESH, TASTY AND ADDICTIVE! My fav is the Oatmeal Walnut Raisin. They have other flavors you'll definitely enjoy as well. So glad I took a second thought in trying these - I would've been disappointed at myself if I didn't because they are vegan! read more

I was skeptical about eating a vegan cookie but my husband insisted they were good. The little girl on the label was so cute that I decided to give them a try. DELICIOUS! I've never had a ginger snap that was chewy and moist but this one was and it was great! When I think vegan, I think dry and chalky but this was the exact opposite! These are definitely vegan cookies that non-vegans will enjoy. read more

this is a very humble cookie. I have seen it at whole foods many times but never bothered to try it because i am a baker myself and figured it would be like any other vegan cookie. I was so wrong! i had a sample at Whole Foods in oakland and fell in love. There like no cookie i have ever tasted and you would never know there vegan. Great job guys! read more

Planning a virtual bachelorette party during a pandemic presents many unforeseen challenges, one of them being getting all participants good food. My dear friend is vegan and I wanted to honor her by sending everyone vegan cookies. I spent hours searching for a business that would wrap cookies individually and ship in small quantities to each of my friends across the country. I emailed NoCookie and asked if this was something that they could assist with and I was amazed by the extremely fast response and their interest in helping me making my friends party extra special. I had the pleasure of speaking with the NoCookie founder on the phone. Again, extremely responsive and very committed to a positive customer experience. When we received the cookies, they were SO GOOD!! Everyone was extremely impressed and had the "I cannot believe this is vegan" reaction! I'm blown away by the customer service provided by NoCookie in addition to the products themselves. Honestly, hands down will always go here for all of my future vegan cookie needs. NoCookie stands in their own category of outstanding customer service and incredible cookies. THANK YOU for making my friends special day so memorable. This was the perfect addition to our party and every was so grateful for these amazing sweet (and healthy!) treats. Thank you, thank you, thank you. read more

wow times ten! we used to pass these No Cookies when I saw them in Whole Foods all the time. but, one day we stopped to have a sample....and we haven't been the same since these are so freakin moist! and delicious. and you don't feel terrible after gorging on like 2 or 3 or 5. and they have no wheat. and no eggs and no dairy. they are vegan. normally i don't eat vegan because i am predisposed to butter and cream and such, so trust that i don't ever buy vegan baked goods. but these make me crossover! even my non veg husband tears them up by the bag! read more

There is no way in hell this is a healthy, vegan cookie. Are you kidding me? It is literally the BEST cookie I've ever eaten in my life. No seriously! I'm going to give them 5 stars but I question their integrity. It's something in those cookies they are not telling us! read more

Purchased in a presealed plastic packaging from Whole Foods. It was moist and tasty!

Free of refined sugar, eggs, wheat, dairy, etc. and they are delicious! They have 8 varieties, my favorite is the cocoa mint. But really, all I have tried are phenomenal. So moist and chewy. I am a fan. read more

Okay, so I left a very confusing set of reviews about these cookies because I was thrown by a label change that occurred during my months in the hospital and subsequent move. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DELICIOUS, YUMMY TREATS YOU WILL EVER HAVE THE PLEASURE TO CONSUME! In trying to figure out if the labels were for the same cookie or not, I called the store hours away where I used to buy them and found out that they ordered then froze their cookies, so you can do this also! I ordered quite a few cookies from the wonderful owner and froze them right away. I have been eating them since and they are always WONDERFUL! They are promptly delivered and I put them unopened in plastic snap top boxes then into the freezer. YUM! read more

the best damned vegan cookie i've ever had!

so delicious i started wondering if its really good for me. soft and chewy. fresh tasting and best of all its not super sweet! nice job No Cookie folks. I'll be looking out for more flavors. Current fav is Chocolate Chip Cookie!! read more

1000 calories for 2 small cookies is ridiculous. I was looking for a nice snack and was bewildered when I saw the label.
