Cookies
Danny W.

These cookies are always solid and a great gift idea, especially for the holidays. We ordered a dozen for a New Year's gift and ordered a couple of cookies to go for myself. My favorite cookie is the Cookie Monster! I love this cookie with the marshmallow and Oreos. The cashier was very pleasant and answered all my questions regarding the cookies. Definitely recommend the Cravory!

Lots to choose from!

Man oh man! What a delicious spot to grab cookies from! The school year was winding down, and I wanted to get something special for my students. I had them look online and decide which one each student wanted. The ultimate chocolate chip seemed to be a popular choice. I personally liked the lemon bar and salted caramel, oh and a coconut cream pie? But all my students were so happy! The best part was, and it was a surprise, if you buy a dozen, you get two extra! The young woman working was so friendly. They also serve ice cream so you can make sandwiches. Can't wait to come back and try more!!!

Lump of Coal

Merry Christmas Eve!! Hungry for some cookies so we ordered through doordash. The person working at the Cravory...put in cookie description cards and wrote some edits on the card. They sold out of the "Christmas Tree," and since they sold out of that flavor they gave us two gingerbread cookies. In addition they gave us 2 of the ultimate chocolate chip cookies because they were baked smaller than usual. I thought the handwritten notes were a lovely touch, felt personal! I tried the "Lump of Coal" which was a chocolate base with Irish cream, dark chocolate truffle, and caramel bits. It was soft and fell apart to the touch. Luckily the opposite of an actual lump of coal! Overall it was a solid and tasty cookie. It went well with hot cocoa. *But talking about the mix ins-- the caramel felt lost. There was no flavor to it, it just stuck to your teeth. It had no chew to it. The Irish cream, tasted like nothing. It had no flavor, what sort of Irish cream is in this? Next up, the gingerbread cookie which was lightly rolled in turbinado sugar! It was lovely and I thought the ginger flavor was going to be really strong, but it was pretty subtle. It also has dark chocolate chunks in it which was an interesting add in choice! A surprise flavor that I enjoyed was Eggnog! It's surprisingly tasty. I usually don't like the drink, but the way the Cravory made the cookie was very delicious.

Not many options left if you're craving something sweet around 7pm

Went in for some hot chocolate and dessert around 7pm but sadly they didn't have many options left at the end of the day. They don't have a parking lot but I was able to find parking in front of the building. Dylan the person who helped us was really nice and what I really liked about my experience is that they have different milk options. My hot chocolate tasted so good with oat milk! In my opinion it tasted better than regular milk hot chocolate. The place has plenty of seating and it's spacious. I drove out of my way to try them out but I don't think I'll be returning. The cookies were okay. Maybe because they had sat there all day? Not sure but it didn't wow my son, hubby or me. Nice service though!

This new cookies place near SDSU is a must-visit! They offer an array of interesting flavors, with new ones daily. My favourite was Birthday Cake and the Mimosa. The staff is friendly, and the cookies are fresh, large, and reasonably priced. Not only do they offer fantastic cookies, but they also provide the flexibility to either enjoy your treats on-site where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your cookie alongside a cup of coffee with ample seating or grab them to go.

We got a mix of cookies , half a dozen for $15 . It was a mix of cookies, cookie monster, chocolate chip, ube, banana , caramel , snickers , marshmellow with chocolate chip. I went into this place because i saw all the positive reviews on yelp and had to go try it for myself because i love to be an adventurous foodie. I got to say i was disappointed. The ube and banana cookies were the only good ones out of the half dozen we had. Honestly you're better off making homemade nestle cookies for a fraction of the price and freshness !

Chocolate Truffle, Lemon Bar, Birthday Cake, Ultimate Chocolate Chip, cheese and wine, lemon shortbread, ube
Lindsey C.

Awesome local cookies+ice cream shop! We walked in right before closing so there were some cookies not available but all the classic good ones were. They've also been running out due to Valentine's Day. The employee was so nice and helpful, we decided to order a half dozen (which comes with 7 cookies) which comes to about $15. If you mention you're an sdsu student there is a $2.75 discount on the half dozen! The shop was decorated well and minimalistic. The surrounding outdoor area around the shop is dark and a little old, but then you walk up to the cookie store and it's a lovely little safe haven of light! Now to review the cookies... sorry for the bad pictures but we just wanted to dig in right away :P Chocolate chip - classic, different types of chocolate with hints of sea salt, nice chewy texture. Can't go wrong. Birthday cake - yum!! The size of the sprinkles added a perfect crunch. The cookie flavor itself was a perfectly balanced sugar cookie. Ube - our favorite!!! The texture was perfect, a mix of a cake and a brownie, and the powdered sugar icing complemented the flavors so well. We noticed it became our favorite after the second bite, that's when the subtle ube flavor finally stood out! Lemon bar - very yummy, similar texture to the ube. Had a nice strong lemon zest to it. Also with the powdered sugar icing. Chocolate truffle - pretty good, standard chocolate cookie with a somewhat crunchy icing. Cheese and wine - lol... it kinda tasted more lemony than anything, I guess if you were to really analyze the flavors you'd get some cheese but certainly no wine haha! Good but wouldn't get again. Lemon shortbread - also another favorite! Such a smooth and soft cookie, that texture paired so well with the subtle lemon flavor and then the light icing coating the top. Our favorite lemon cookie out of the 3 were ended up buying. Also, they have $2 Tuesday where you can get cookies and coffee for only $2!! This shop also serves edible cookie dough. I'll be back, super local business!! I'd say personally better than Crumbl.

I'm glad that I discovered this cookie shop while I was in SD. As soon as I entered the shop, I was greeted with great customer service--which is definitely a plus in my books! Since it was my first time here, the employee who helped me gave me a run down of all of the cookie flavors and which were most popular. This was really helpful and I appreciated it since it helped me narrow down my choices....even though I wanted to try everything lol. This cookie shop offers unique and adventurous cookie flavors and offer new cookie flavors each month. They also offer shipping which is pretty cool and convenient for those who crave their cookies, but aren't living in SD...like me. All of the cookies I tried were all well baked. Moist/chewy on the inside and had that crisp outer edges. If I had to choose my least favorite, it would be the pancakes and bacon...I'd much rather keep my bacon out of my cookies haha.

thai tea + passionfruit
Lam B.

Come for the cookies but stay for the ice cream. There's street parking along the side of the building with a few spots in the back. As of March, the Cravory offers a selection of 19 cookies and 8 ice cream flavors. The top row of cookies are their most popular, the second being revolving monthly options and the third having more unorthodox combinations. Current ice cream flavors are: Thai tea, passionfruit, birthday cake, Cookie Monster, cookies and cream, strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. The staff members are incredibly friendly and explained clearly the set-up of the store and gave great recommendations. You're also able to sample the ice cream flavors before picking one (or two). =RECOMMEND= Half a dozen is $15 while a baker's dozen is $25. *Taro *Ube *Birthday Cake *Macchiato: can be made with a wide selection of milks in which I opted for whole milk. Half and half and almond milk were also given as alternatives. Simple and strong. *Thai Tea: so creamy and addicting. On point tea flavor and I can see this pairing well with an affogato. *Passionfruit: packed with passionfruit flavor and resembled a slushie. Really refreshing fruit option. =SWEETER BUT FUN= *Cookie Monster: super sweet because practically every chocolate went into each bite. *Red Velvet: vanilla chips are super sweet. =PASS= *Pancakes and Bacon: really grainy, almost stale. Too dry overall to enjoy the bacon and maple syrup. I find the cookie quality to be a bit variable like some mentioned, hence the four stars. Some cookies can be hard or more likely to be hard, to which I usually stick to the simpler flavors such as birthday cake as opposed to Cookie Monster. Still the Cravory serves as a satisfying dessert spot after a meal and I commend them for consistently rotating six cookies flavors to add some festivity each month.

Birthday Cake Cookie and Passionfruit sorbet
Kim C.

I discovered this location thanks to a Yelp Elite event. I would see their cookies at different shops around San Diego and didn't know Cravory had it's own bakeshop. My 2 favorite go-to cookies from Cavory is the cookie monster and the birthday cake. The cookie monster dough is vanilla mixed in with white chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, Oreos, mini marshmallows, and caramel bits. The birthday cake is a funfetti cake batter, Guittard vanilla chips, and rainbow sprinkles. Cravory has monthly special flavors. When you buy 6 you get 1 free. When you buy a dozen you get 2 free. Remember to use your Yelp check-in either for a free cookie (it says it on the door) or a free drip coffee it says it on the app. When we are visiting people from out of town I usually gift them with the best sellers mix. Parking: There is street parking and parking in the back of the store. Inside: There are several seating areas to enjoy your treats. Other: Besides cookies, they sell cakes, coffee, shirts, gifts, and ice cream. The staff has always been nice when we come by. They are informative and willing to give suggestions. C is for cookie: 4/30

$1 cookies day and too good to go

Is there a parking lot or only street parking?

Do you have vegan ice cream?

They have sorbets occasionally, and do switch them out every so often

Do they have any vegan cookie options available?

Hmm. I remember seeing GF chocolate chip, but don't remember any labeled vegan. You could call...they're very friendly!

Plenty of parking, outdoor seating as well, and even when they were busy, I think I did not wait more than five minutes for my drink. I chose to use their honey syrup instead of regular honey, and was not disappointed with my iced oatmilk latte also, I have to point out something you don't typically see at a lot of coffee shops. Both times I went, there was an incredible mix of generations in that shop. From younger to older, it was awesome to see generations coming together. Great job guys!

I've personally tried the Crème Brûlée Cloudfee and the Coconut Cloudfee, and both were incredible. A friend also had the Purple (Ube) Cloudfee and absolutely loved it.
