    Animal party cookie and almond doodle
    Cindi Z.

    I come here for the cookies... coffee is 'ok' but light lunch and cookies are delightful... owner seems judgy and occasionally rough around the edges with employees. Employees are always sweet.

    I love the Cookie Mill. I will be back. Service was super friendly and the ambiance was a small town feel (cozy and friendly). My grandma and I came here craving something sweet, and this was really good dessert! I want to try the lunch and cafe options later

    Hot Meatloaf Sandwich

    Really lovely local joint- good coffee, breakfast, and lunch! (and cookies!!) Always very friendly, and there is always a place to sit and relax, even during a lunch rush. The prices are a bit high for how comfy and casual it is, but they're Stanwood prices, and the food is good enough to keep us coming back!

    We only tried cookies but they're amazing! Unfortunately two of the ones we wanted to try were sold out, which was the peanut butter chocolate chip and the oatmeal m&m. Bummer, but we still got some goodies. Our order consisted of chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and pumpkin spice doodle. The chocolate chip was alright. Dry on the edges but nice and chewy in the middle. The snickerdoodle was so chewy and yummy. The pumpkin spice doodle was a sugar cookie with a pumpkin spice frosting. The cookie was sooo soft and chewy. I loved it. I'd love to go back and try their food options.

    This is such a cute spot (with a drive thru too). My sister and I dined in on a Saturday morning. We ordered an iced white mocha and an iced vanilla latte. For food, I enjoyed their cinnamon crunch bagel and she ordered the oatmeal. Both were delicious and the coffee was very smooth, nutty and enjoyable. They have ample seating and foods/drinks came out quickly. They have lots of sandwich, bagel, pastries and of course, cookies! I am looking forward to popping through the drive thru!

    Hot BBQ Beef Sandwich

    Cute little cafe/restaurant serving a range of breakfast and lunch fare, including (as the name gives away) cookies. We got two sandwiches for takeout, the hot bbq beef and the Holstein prime (although I opted to sub for turkey instead of roast beef). The hot bbq beef was delicious! Who knew melted Swiss and bbq sauce went so well together? Great flavours, the only downfall was that parts of the hoagie bread itself were so hard we couldn't break it apart even with our hands, let alone our teeth. The Holstein prime was similarly good, we opted for the rye bread and it didn't disappoint. Very soft, spongey and had the perfect taste of rye I love. It was also huge! Would definitely opt for a half sandwich next time. The price point was a little higher than I expected - we paid $30 for two sandwiches and sides of lays chips that come with them. The full hot bbq beef sandwich was a LOT smaller than the Holstein prime in size despite them both being full sandwiches so I was left a little confused about the serving sizes. All in all, a good place for fresh sandwiches if you're looking to splurge quite a bit more compared to your Subway or Jimmy John's run.

    Kitchy decor (12/30/17)

    Ventured north from Shoreline to Stanwood to meet up with family members for lunch at The Cookie Mill (12/30/17). From the Stanwood/Camano Island exit from I-5, head west on highway 532, it'll be to the left. I noticed there's quite a lot of growth and traffic in the past 25 years! It's an unassuming, mom/pop kind of place but clearly popular with the local demographic. It seemed within 5-10 minutes of arriving, someone put on the bat signal. The entire restaurant was mostly filled shortly before noon. There is quite the variety of sandwiches, baked goods, soup, salad, beverages including espresso. Orders are placed at the counter, pay, and you're given a number. Your order is then brought to you. Crowds don't seem to faze the counter staff. Food and drink arrive shortly thereafter, good indicator of an experienced crew. Sandwiches are hearty and comes with chips and pickle. I opted for a lunch special ($12.95) which was a half sandwich, chips, pickle, cookie, and choice of soup or salad. I tried a roast beef/cheddar sandwich on whole wheat, chocolate chip cookie, and cup of chicken wild rice soup. A lot of food! I ended up taking the chips and cookie home. Reminds me of lunch at The Honey Bear in Lake Forest Park. Recommend to not sit at the 5 top by the bathrooms and drafty entrance (especially if your visit is during winter and you're fighting a cold). Nice indie find in Stanwood.

    Snowbird Nester on gluten free bread. It's actually two sandwiches

    Cookie Mill is a great little soup and sandwich place. It has a lot of gluten free options as well. Will definitely be back!

    Noting to show because we scarfed it up!

    Yummy! I first…read morestopped here in September 2024. I decided to go back because I was in stanwood for an errand and I was craving a good brew and some food. When I entered, I was immediately greeted with a smile and a welcome, which felt good. I drove an hour to get there and it just set the tone right away. I was low-key impressed and thankful to have a friendly bartender, as the last time I went (2 yrs. Ago) I felt the service wasn't the best. This was a different bartender. I asked about their brews and was informed they'd switched a bit. So, I ordered the Hazy and the Blonde, both of which are brewed in-house by SAAL. They were. both great. Good body on the IPA and almost no bitterness. The blonde was good too, although blondes aren't my typical go-to personally, so maybe I'm not the best judge of that. The owner came and spoke with me for a minute about their business and how 2020 had inspired them to brew the Hazy. I think it's called "All Love" or something similar, and it had something to do with the riots of 2020 and how we needed more love in the world. I dunno, felt inspired. It was a good conversation and I felt that the owner is passionate about what he does. Which I really liked. A business I want to support. The poutine I ordered was good but not great. I don't usually order poutine so I had low expectations but it just feels like it's just in the menu for the sake of being on the menu. Nothing felt inspired or original and this dish would benefit greatly from a little recipe switch up. Maybe use a better gravy and crispier fries? It could be great. This didn't detract from the experience for me, as like I said, I had no expectations from the food. I just wanted something to stave off the hunger until I got home.

Standouts include their "adult" grilled cheese with apple and a delicious tomato bisque, and the Zombie appetizer: a monster mound of tots with Mac & cheese, chili, and bacon...my goodness. My fave beers so far are the Three Sided Coin, a light-bodied mild rye bitter that is super food-friendly, and A Point In Time, their medium-bodied earthy oatmeal stout. A must try if you're in the area. A lot of pride in product here. Highly recommended!

I would expect half pounders with a name like that. ($60 will get you the Mammouth 1 lb Burger with a pound of fries) I upgraded to the garlic fries. They were plentiful, Lots of garlic, but oversalted--so much so, I left half of them uneaten. That, and because the ketchup was tainted, made me lose my appetite. Solve those two and they would have been delicious. I spoke with the waitress first, She wasn't very receptive. Later I asked to speak to the manager because I really would like to see this be a great restaurant there in Stanwood. Sadly, he wasn't there, and she told me they wouldn't consider changing it even if he was. Good things: nice ambiance. Great small town location. The service wasn't bad. Recommendation: They should stop saving a few pennies by serving awful ingredients at a time when America is aiming at a new health motto: "Eat real food."

Five months ago, on a Saturday or Sunday, my boyfriend and I had lunch at The Baked Cafe. The burgers were good, the buns were mediocre, and the fries were outstanding. The meal was over $40, without drinks. The owner was the only person working. After reading other reviews, we expected a wait, but over a half hour was excessive. There are only two booths, and we were lucky to get one. Because of this, you may end up taking your food to go or eating outside. I left a honest review after our experience, and the owner responded (more like reacted) quite unprofessionally. He mentioned Wednesdays; we were not there on a Wednesday. He mentioned that if we prefer "nutty" (it's Nutty's) or "five guy" (it's Five Guys), that he "felt sorry" for us. Well, I won't feel sorry for him when his business fails.
