I live a 5 min walk from their downtown location! Love to go there. But If you know, you know about this location!! I heard from a friend !! This is the warehouse and the cookies are lower priced. And they also have an option for a smaller cookie--which was perfect for my daughter's class birthday treat. I got 2 dozen for under $13!!! Incredible. And fresh. It's set up like "Covid style" kinda, you walk up to a register area outside of a building face and they gather your order. I'm sure things could sell out fast and maybe a little wait, but worth it. They have a LOT of cookies ready for sure read more

Pacific Cookie Company - 4 dozen for the road. All the ones we wanted were available. Thanks. pacific cookie. We will enjoy. Just need milk. - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

three vegan cookies for just $2.25 is a pretty remarkable deal if you ask me. This is a walk up cookie shop that has supposedly imperfections although I've never seen what they're talking about and they were rejected from the downtown store. Whatever the case it's quick and inexpensive and it's just generally fun to walk up and enjoy the ambience of delicious cookie dough smells and nearly immediate service as there's usually not a long line. I would like to see some cookies that are made without sugar perhaps with Stevia or monk fruit sweetener in the future as I'm always afraid of the calorie and glucose metrics even though I'm relatively healthy I want to keep it that way But for an occasional indulgence, this is really not a problem read more

My favorite place in the world for cookies and such a bargain too! This spot is a true Santa Cruz icon. The cookies are consistently fresh, delicious, and perfect for any time of day. They also pair perfectly with a scoop of Marianne's ice cream just down the street, which makes for the ultimate local treat. My personal favorite is the Doctor Midnight cookie rich, minty chocolate, and absolutely addictive. If you're in Santa Cruz, this place is a must-visit. It's simple, affordable, and packed with flavor. read more

It's all about great cookies, so what's not to love? Yum! They sell odd sizes here for less than at their store. The service was excellent too. The factory location is right off River near the tracks on which trains once delivered stuff to and from the many warehouses in the complex. Next time I'm passing through Santa Cruz, I'd like to carve out more time to visit some of the other interesting businesses in the warehouses as well. read more

The "rejects" from the factory discounted at 75 cents for large and 50 cents for small. Didn't notice much difference other than slight varied size and shape. Lots of flavors available and they bag your cookies as you name what you want. Some of the ones we got were lemon drop, cherry bomb, dr midnight, mint condition, snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, and more. My go to is the mint, but they're all sweet and tasty. There's lots of parking around and we came just in time 10 min before closing as they closed the garage door after us! read more

Great cookies!! Love the coconut macaroons dipped in chocolate!! My husband loves the Snickerdoodles, but I try and buy a few different ones to try, it's always a special treat when we visit. read more

We order Pacific Cookie corporate gifts for our customer service teams and our customers for holidays and for a special treat during our busy season. They are so looked forward to by everyone and we're so proud to send the best cookies all over the country. Stefani and the rest of the team at PCC are the best. They have helped us streamline our ordering process over the years so I hardly have to think about it anymore. We love Pacific Cookie Company! read more

Lots of yummy "rejects" direct from the factory... Did they have the perfect consistency and flavor? Nope. Did I really notice? Nope. Was the process quick and easy? Yup. Plenty of parking, no wait at the roll up door/window, and the worker bagged our cookies as we called out the flavors we wanted. Lots of flavors to choose from at discount prices... we got a handful, like peanut butter chocolate, lemon drop, and oatmeal raisin. Not quite sure what makes these cookies "rejects", but I don't mind taking advantage. read more

I have always loved and bought from Pacific Cookie Company. They are simply amazing cookies!!! As the past chef at St. Clare's Retreat, I truly miss having them in my life since moving to Texas. Their personnel at all levels have always been top line. Thank you for being a part of my life in Santa Cruz. Sondra Ziegler read more

They still sell the imperfect cookies here for $.50 to $.75 depending on size. It's no longer self serve, but the service is quick. I believe it is cash only. read more

As a self proclaimed cookie expert I can tell you that THESE are the best cookies I've ever had. And somehow they taste even better as day olds (little more of a chew). Lemon are the family favorite, with chocolate walnut and gingerbread as close seconds. Whenever I'm in town I get a bag to freeze for later cravings. My kids claim we drive the 7 hours from San Diego just for the cookies lol. Can't beat the deal of 75 cents/large or 50 cents/small. Happily they now take credit card! Bonus- The staff is also as sweet as their cookies:) read more

Amazing place to get cookies at an affordable price in Santa Cruz. Get the chocolate chip and enjoy a walk on the beach or through downtown!

We hit the mother load!!! This is where the magic happens!!! Pacific Cookie company has always made the best cookies around and I finally found their warehouse where they are made. Here you can buy day old cookies for a discount, which still taste amazing!!!! read more

[IN A NUTSHELL] great cookies, cheap cookies, great value per cookie, cookie flavors [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] If you know Sant Cruz, there is one of the best cookie places here. They have a place downtown for their more expensive cookie, BUT if you want the same cookie you can get it for so much cheaper here! Compared to their company downtown which is more than a $1 these are 50 cent cookies. Talking to the cashier, she said these are the cookies that don't make it the other companies and so they're cheaper, they're not the "rejects". I would recommend coming here after you try the ones downtown. They even have mini ones for 25 cents. My favorite one is the lemon drop from this place because it has the hint of lemon and it tastes like a sugar cookie with lemon. When you bring it back home, I would suggest microwaving it for 15 seconds before you eat it. They also have limited hours so check my pictures for the time. Recommended Cookies: -Lemon Drop -Mint Condition -Snickerdoodle -Peanut Butter [TIME STAMP] MAY 20, 2021 read more

Shh... this has to be one of Santa Cruz's best kept secrets. Or you end up stumbling upon here looking for cookies without realizing it's the factory itself and not their store. To the reviewers that are giving critical reviews of their cookies, y'all remember that you're buying the "defects" that they aren't selling at their actual main shop downtown right? The main reason you come here is that you get to bask in the ambiance of cookie production while purchasing all the reject cookies that aren't making it to the store. Locals come here on weekdays in order to purchase ones that are a bit too small, perhaps a tiny but under-baked, or whatever the reason that caused it to go into the "no" pile. However, these cookies are still bae and delicious. For 25c a cookie (at least on the lowest reject pile), I could barely taste the difference between this and what I can buy at their store. Mind you at the main store, each of these cookies would normally cost $2. For the price of one, I'm getting eight different cookies! You really can't beat that price. They also offer slightly "better" but still not perfect cookies for up to $1.75 each, slightly cheaper than the "real" deal. My heart is here for the Pacific Cookie goodness and I'm so happy we stumbled in here for a bag of cookies to take home and enjoy for such a great deal. Cash only and it's entirely the honors system. Slip in the money into their black box and leave with a bag of happiness. You won't regret it. read more

Every cookie here is great. Maybe it's because I love butter. My fave would probably be mint choco chip. Other notables would be snickerdoodle, choco chip, and for a range taste the lemon one can also be a good pick up as well! read more

Well, let's just say that when my husband finds a macaroon that he claims is "perfect", I have to give the place a 5. That plus the chocolate chip cookie, which was excellent and the oatmeal raisin ( not my thing) which was "the right texture and the right spices" . The only less than wonderful cookie we had was the double chocolate, which was good but didn't live up to the expectation of greatness that I had in mind!! read more

We get a lot of sweets at work. Good for my sweet tooth, but horrible on my waist line. A few weeks ago, a talent brought us a box of assorted cookies. She arrived with them on Wednesday, November 14th around 3:15pm. We got a variety of cookies, but I tried the Snickerdoodle: Cinnamon cookie made with creamery butter and cinnamon. It had nice flavor. A good amount of cinnamon and sugar. But I like my cookies soft and chewy. These were a bit hard and crumbly. No doubt partly from the travel time, but I ended up microwaving the cookie with a damp paper towel to soften them up. Made them more my style. Good flavors, but I wish the cookies were softer. A good option for people who like harder textured cookies. read more

Fantastic cookies. Lemon drops are excellent in particular. Good, basic cookies done right with an excellent value. Fantastic.

Cookies soo good you would expect the Cookie Monster to pop up from the other side of counter to exclaim, "me want cookie" and "me eat cookie". A nice selection today, but you never know what you may find here. The Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies were soft and tasty. I tried a flavor for the first time. The Dark Chocolate Cranberry Cookie was very good with Dark Guittard Chocolate with dried Cranberries. A nice blend of Chocolate and Cranberries which complimented each other. Do not forget the homeless receive the funds for the cookies sold here. read more

I've loved these cookies since I was a student at UCSC in the late 80s. Every time I visit Santa Cruz, I make a beeline to their store for the "peanut butter w/chocolate chips" cookies. I close my eyes and savor the peanut buttery goodness and I'm transported back to 1987. The cookies are EXACTLY THE SAME. In a world where things constantly change, Pacific Cookie Co. has remained remarkably consistent throughout the 30 years of my going there. That cookie in my mouth is the closest thing to time travel I've ever experienced. The perfect 1987 lunch starts with a vegetarian burrito at Tacos Moreno and then the Cookie for dessert. I invite you to grab those items to go, then drive over to West Cliff and chow down with that fabulous ocean view and cool breezes. Note: whether you get your cookies at the bakery location or retail store on Pacific, the cookies are equally delicious. You can get the broken or malformed ones at the bakery for a discount. Your mouth won't care if they are broken! read more

Im so glad they still exist. Their chocolate chip nuts coconut is my favorite. 2nd peanut butter 3rd macademia white chocolate 4th lemon 5th ginger 6th whatever else they have. This place will always be special. The lady was super nice. They only open M-F. No work on Fridays but they sell whatever they have. Problem is that i would have to take a day off to come. It is worth it with my favorite person in the world. Can't drive off. Must eat three cookies before starting the car. I become the cookie monster. Bring a plastiv bag since no more plastic bags. These are brown bags which will grease up your purse. You might go overboard with buying too much. Cash only so bring exact change. read more

Why don't they have gluten free cookies anymore?? I'm so upset. Best cookies in town. The gluten free community and people with allergies are not good enough for your business? Not worth the money? Not enough people buy the gluten free product in the past? When I tasted the gluten free cookie in the past, they tasted like the regular ones, so delicious. I was so happy I could turn to your gluten free version when everyone around me was enjoying the regular gluten cookies. I feel abandoned by this company. Your company is greedy, unsympathetic and selfish. What a disappointment for Santa Cruz. Poor decision. Whoever made that decision is not thinking about people have to go through, being ignored or feeling like they don't deserve a good cookie/dessert. I was born and raised here in Santa Cruz and in the past I felt at home at pacific cookie company. I used to feel like they really care about EVERYONE. I used to get a warm feeling when I walked in knowing I could get a gluten free delicious cookie. Now I feel like I've been thrown out in the cold. Especially during the holidays. When my father passed away in 2011, I went to PCC to get 4 dozen cookies for the exceptional nurses at Dominican Hospital to thank them for their wonderful care. I felt proud knowing that I gave them the best cookies in town. Now not so much. Pacific Cookie Company is just plain cold for their decision to not make them anymore. read more

Five stars for not being dumb about masks. The employees were all super nice and laid back. The cookies were (as usual) delicious! Highly recommend Dr. Midnight read more

Always stop here while I'm strolling through downtown. We shared an Almond Joe and a white chocolate macadamia nut. Both yum but I preferred the almond Joe. Good size and tasty. 1.30 each. One free with a Yelp check in. Hubby didn't get a free one. Maybe because he's not elite, not sure? Staff friendly. A nice stop. read more

We came early on a Friday. Around 10am. They had all the flavors and nothing seemed visually imperfect about them. They taste just as good as the main store on Pacific Ave. Not crowded at all. The young worker was super nice and helpful. We're definitely coming back. read more

This is the 3rd year in a row that I have used Pacific Cookie Company to help with my holiday gifting to clients and trade contractors. It's so easy to select a flavor (The Spicy Chocolate cookies are so tasty and have such a holiday vibe) and send a list of addresses, select a date range, then sit back and wait for the calls and thank you notes from our happy clients and business associates! Stephanie DiCicco is super easy to work with and walk you through the process. One less thing to worry about and happy to be able to support a local business! read more

Day old cookies for under a buck each! 25 cents for 1 oz 50 cents for 1.4oz and 2 oz 75 cents for 3 oz Clear plastic bags, wax paper for handling, and twist ties were available. Cookies were labeled (however not always correctly). Payment was cash only and by the honor system - a cash box wasn't available when I visited, so I tracked down an employee to pay as per a sign posted. Old Sash Mill was a little confusing to find, but afterwards, locating Pacific Cookie Company at 40-A was easy peasey since one of their trucks was parked right outside. Don't come with any illusions of grandeur. This is a warehouse/production space, with a couple of racks of cookies in the corner. No atmosphere, no service, just cookies. For more variety, service, and freshly baked cookies, their retail store is located on Pacific Garden Mall only about a mile away. read more

Let's start w the chocolate chip cookies. Generally I am a huge cookie fan had lots of anticipation and high hopes for pacific cookie company and left with half dozen cookies. My first bite of my go to CHOCOLATE CHIP was a flop. Rather than being light crisp and soft in he center i got a glob of formed cookie dough. These are heavy, undercooked, over sweet piles of dough. I suspect that they won't soak milk either, shameful. The workers seemed to be half baked as well. If you can't resist a cookie shop and have horrible taste this is your place as the reviews suggest. Pass on this place read more
