    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
    Sim J.

    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!

    I've had their smash burgers and their breakfast sandwiches all on fresh baked bread and both taste…read moregreat and are also packed and wrapped to-go by the staff in a thoughtful way that makes getting the food "to-go" a great experience. I think I've reviewed the burger before and maybe the sandwiches but today it's about the tots. Best tots in WA. Cooked to perfection yes but also lightly dusted with some flavorful spices to make it more than just some potatoes. Anyway there's plenty of seating around the bakery we just happen to get things to go on the way off island.

    I'm downgrading my previous three star review to two stars, based on the business owner's snarky…read moreresponse to my review (see photo). 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.

I came for the food -- in my case a Reuben sandwich stuffed to the gills -- and coleslaw, though obviously most people choose fries in one of the available variants. Both the sauce on the sandwich and the slaw had a kick to them - a hint of heat that added to the whole. The food was promised for 15-minutes, but took less than 10 -- I like it when promises are kept or even exceeded. The pub had three distinct seating areas: outside in the courtyard, outside under a deck (sheltered, with transparent vinyl sheeting to block the wind, and inside. This is a place where you order and pay at the bar, then find yourself a seat. It's not fancy, it's not upscale, but it's solid with good food and brews. The service was friendly and competent, but young and a touch overly enthusiastic (I'm not fond of being repeatedly called "my man" - not so much because it's excessively familiar - which it is, but because the enthusiastic repetition of the phrase at every chance is a bit forced and formulaic).

I was looking for dog friendly early dinner spots on Camano…read moreafter checking out the local recommended parks good for dogs, and saw Tapped had dog- friendly space. Counter ordering as you come in, quick, helpful and patient while I tried to keep my dog behaved and figure out what to eat. I landed on the prime rib dip - the absolute BEST I've ever had. The pretzel bun texture alone is to die for, slightly crisp outside with a light and soft inside. The au jus loaded with onions (love!), and choice of fries, tots, or side salad. They have so many unique options on tap, but for us non-tap drinkers they have decent options for white abd red wine and champs. Bundled outside, I had the most attentive service as a party of one plus my furry compadre. So kind, personable, genuine connection between 4 different staff members! Aside from the ridiculous prime rib dip I'll be dreaming of, the kindness of the staff is unmatched.
