Victoria B.

Such a cute cookie spot. We came here the day before Valentine's Day and got six cookies. We tried the snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, some sugar cookies and some fruity pebble cookies. They were pretty good! We'll definitely be back in the near future

Tried Riverside Cookie shoppe for the first time recently and i can say it definitely lives up to the hype. They currently have a deal where if you buy one cookie you get a second for free (if you follow them on instagram) i got the campfire cookie and my bf got the earthquake cookie. Both were delicious but the campfire cookie was my favorite. The cookies were nice and soft. Although the shop is really small they have a variety of cookies to offer with lots of unique flavors as well as the classics. Service was friendly and helpful. I will be going back for sure.

If you're looking for the most decadent, mouthwatering cookies in town, look no further than this cookie shoppe. It's truly a hidden gem! Every bite feels like a warm hug for your taste buds. I've tried the Campfire cookie (which tastes like a gooey s'mores dream), the classic chocolate chip (perfectly crisp on the edges and soft in the center), the chocolate chip with nuts (adds the perfect crunch and depth), and the Salted Caramel Nutella (absolutely next level! sweet, salty, rich, and indulgent). My co-workers tried the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip (a cozy, hearty flavor with just the right chew), the Lemon cookie (bright, zesty, and refreshingly different), and the Peanut Butter Crunch (a peanut lover's dream. nutty, crispy, and just the right amount of sweetness). Each cookie has its own unique flavor profile, but what they all have in common is that they're baked to perfection. Whether you like soft and gooey or slightly crisp, there's something here for every kind of cookie lover. Absolutely obsessed!

Cute little cookie shop. Lot of flavors and seasonal cookies. They are the perfect size, unlike crumble cookie which are gigantic! These cookies have the homemade taste and quality. The one employee/owner did a fantastic job with the line and tending to all the customers!

This is by far the BEST cookie shop in Riverside if not the whole Inland Empire! The workers here are very nice and friendly. This shop has a cozy vibe. If you are in the area and have a sweet tooth, I HIGHLY recommend trying this cookie shop out, you won't regret it!

I promised my kids cookies from this place if the behavior of a particular one was good at camp. We were running a little late and I called to check on the closing time, when I explained that this was a reward for the kids and realized we wouldn't be making it by closing time, this young lady decided to pack our cookies and wait to take care of us a few minutes into closing time. You just don't find people like this anymore! Totally worth mentioning that you saved this momma lots of grief from the kiddos. As always we love all the cookie flavors, my favorite is the cranberry one but after trying the German chocolate cake one yesterday I think I'm now stuck with two favorites. My kids love the ginger bread cookies as well as snickerdoodle. Thank you so much for making our day special! read more

History

Established in 2013.

I purchased the space, formerly known as Pine Bakery, in February of 2013. Our customers have gravitated to our delicious wide assortment of traditional and gourmet cookies. Therefore, in January of 2015 I changed the name to focus on our main attraction -- we became Riverside Cookie Shoppe. We are excited about our new direction focusing on delicious cookies made from scratch and baked throughout the day. Hope to see you soon!

Meet the Manager: Crystal G.

Crystal has always loved baking and bringing her family and community together through sweet treats. She purchased the cookie shoppe in 2023. The best part of her day at the cookie shoppe is always spent getting to know the community.

Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

Riverside Cookie Shop is a great little mom-and-pop spot with a nice variety of cookies, and everything I've tried has been really good. It definitely feels like a local favorite, and I always make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in the area. On this visit, I ordered the Earthquake cookie, an oatmeal raisin, and a classic chocolate chip. The Earthquake cookie was rich and indulgent, with a deep chocolate flavor that really stands out. The oatmeal raisin was soft and chewy with a good balance of sweetness, and the chocolate chip was a classic--simple, fresh, and satisfying. The storefront itself is small but clean, and it's conveniently located near other eateries and businesses, making it an easy stop if you're already nearby. Overall, it's a reliable spot for fresh, tasty cookies and a great place to support a local business. read more

Delicious, delicious, delicious, do yourself a favor and pick up a dozen or two of cookies. Original and amazing. Get there early because these sell out fast. read more
