I happen to be on this side of town and decided to stop in The Very Best Cookie in the whole wide world shop. I saw a website them and doing a chocolate chip cookie ranking. They're ranked really high, so I needed to stop in. The workers are extremely friendly and helpful. They helped me decide what to get. Everything looked amazing but in the end, I ended up getting the OG cookie and also getting a rice Krispy treat. The vibe inside is very fun and I will definitely be back in the future. I was able to find street parking outside, but I felt like I was very lucky to do so. Pretty much right away I ate the cookie and it was really great. If you are in the area, this is a must visit. read more

I always wondered if this place truly has the very best cookies, and I have to say that I think they might! I was so impressed by the OG chocolate chip cookie. It was warm and gooey and packed to the brim with chocolate. The sea salt plays nicely with the chocolate, and every bite is just so delicate and rich. It's a little pricy, but honestly, it puts a lot of other cookies at this price point to shame (looking at you Levain). I would definitely be interested in trying other flavors, but this might have to be a rare treat considering the price. Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience that much better! read more

The Very Best Cookie - OG choc chip - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've tried over 100 cookies around LA and these cookies landed very high on my list. You can really taste the quality. I'm usually partial to a thick gooey chocolate chip cookie but these give me appreciation for a thinner, chewy chocolate chip cookie. So good! I also love that this business stands up for its community and supports values of respect for everyone. It's unfortunate that they got some fake reviews for standing up for what's right. As an actual customer, I can confirm that their cookies are amazing. read more

When I arrive, there was a lady eating and on the phone and another lady that was at the counter and there wasn't anyone else in the shop I was totally ignored. I first was looking at items that they had for sale and talking on the phone and then I walked up to the cash register for someone to help me no one ever came out and the person by the counter never said I'll be right with you after five minutes of her ignoring me. I finally asked her. Is there someone that can help me and then the lady that was sitting down at one of the tables came behind the counter. It was the most disorganized shop I've ever been in very rude and what a horrible experience. No wonder there's so many negative comments both employees where just plain rude & ignored me read more

Came here on my birthday for a special sweet treat. I am a huge CC lover and had high expectations. the OG was perfect, crispy on the outside but gooey and melty on the inside. Lots of places don't do oatmeal chocolate chip, so I had to try it here since I love oatmeal cookies. Loved that one too! (please don't get rid of it) Overall great cookie shop and will be returning. read more

Stumbled upon this spot and saw they had the Dubai chocolate cookie and just had to try it. It's a 12 dollar cookie and although I was shocked about the price, I was pleasantly surprised that the inside had a good amount of the pistachio kataifi. The cookie is pretty hefty which is good but I'm not sure I'd spend 12 dollars on it again. read more

The Very Best Cookie - The OG Choc Chip, The Cinner, The Fudgiest, Not Yo Mamma's RKT - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Much overdue review. Long time customer since days of COVID and pickups at her home. Since then I've ordered and consumed more treats than I'd care to admit and have gifted them personally and professionally. If you have a business and enjoy gifting clients something unique and supporting local business, you won't find a better customer experience. Gifts are always packaged wonderfully and quality is consistent. Communication is clear and they're always flexible and creative based on needs. Personally, I'm obsessed with her sugar cookie. Also love the OG and the RKT is absolutely to die for. Cinnamon rolls are always a hit. For gluten free, she makes an amazing cookie- we've yet to find one in LA that tops this one. I cannot say enough good things about this gem (both the place and the talent on their team). read more

You must get the Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats!!! They are now my favorite item at this shop. They are so good!!! The brown butter and toasted marshmallows give this chewy, delicious Rice Krispie treat a 10/10. I have bought many Rice Krispie treats from this place and shared it with others, and they too fell in love with it. They are a little pricey for a Rice Krispie treat, but are super good! Thank you the Very Best Cookie! read more

OHHH-EMMMM-G SHE DID IT AGAIN!! Hello Dubai Bar Cookie! Seriously the *BEST* cookie in the entire Los Angeles right now. I know I sound so dramatic but this bomb.com bite I just had completely blew my mind. At first when I started eating the cookie, from the edge, I thought there must've been some kind of mistake because it just seemed like a regular chocolate chip cookie but when you take that second, third to infinity bite and dive taste buds first into the gooey pistachio-ey, but yet crispy middle that's meshed in with the super generous chunks of melted chocolate, dear God there goes my hips! This cookie is insanely decadent without any guilt. It's incredible that it's just the right amount of sweetness and the play on texture is genius - I declare this my #1 FAVE FAVE FAVE!!!

Mouth-watering! We picked up a few tasty treats last Sunday, December 21, 2025, right before closing, and I'm so glad we did. We ordered the Big Whoop, Big Poppy, and two Cinner cookies--everything was perfect. I can't wait to go back and try the OG, Peanut Butteriest, and OreoMC cookies. The young lady who helped us was fantastic, we loved all of her suggestions, and the inside was clean and welcoming. read more

HOW HAVE I NOT WRITTEN A REVIEW OF THIS PLACE YET?!?? I've been a regular at The Very Best Cookie for over a year, and for good reason! Everything they make here is delicious and the owner, Kirstyn, is the nicest and most generous person you will ever meet. My personal favorite treats are the O.G. (obviously), the Cinner, the Fudgiest Brownie, the Cinny Bun, and the Rice Krispies Treats. There are so many specials I love too but I'll focus on the ones that are usually available for the sake of this review. Now when I say RKTs, they have an assortment. The classic is a salted brown butter that is the GOAT. The best I've ever had, no doubt (and I've eaten a lot of RKTs in my day). I also love the S'mores one, Hot Cocoa, PB&J, and Ube. Those aren't all available all the time, but just a preview! They also sell them in full-on cake form, which I bought for my wife for her last birthday. They're gluten-free! The Very Best Cookie also carries Sweet Cute Ice Cream, which is a fantastic option to make anything a la mode. The Fudgiest Brownie with Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream changed my life. read more

So I've been trying Kirstyn's cookies and cinnabuns since before she opened her Robertson storefront, when she was offering pickups from her apt. She makes THE VERY BESTEST oatmeal whoopie pie. Like cookie = amazing, marshmallow cream = life changing flavor and texture. No other whoopie comes close. She also makes the best black and whites. I mean, to be completely honest, I'd never understood how everyone seems to love black and white cookies in general, until I had hers. They're that good. I don't usually leave Yelp reviews but if a regular/favorite establishment of mine is struggling, I'm only compelled to let everyone know they're missing out if they don't start patronizing. The space itself has the coolest retro neon vibes. Seriously, spoil yourself and make this your regular LA stop. read more

Wow! I was looking for a top notch chocolate chip cookie, and I found my favorite one yet here. It has the perfect texture, soft, but also has a slight chew to it. It gives you the sweet rich indulgence you're looking for with a chocolate chip cookie, but without being too overwhelming. So perfect! I also tried another cookie with rainbow sprinkles that was also really good! Highly recommend this place. In fact, I think I've found my new go to cookie place now. read more

Truly the very best cookie. I placed an order ahead of time for a vegan chocolate chip cookie. It was perfectly soft and crispy and mixed with the right amount of chocolate chips. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

I bought a dozen cookies the Feisty (2), OG (4), Big Poppy Lemon(1), Aloha(1), Cinner(3), and one other. The place was really cute and inviting. The Big Poppy was my favorite. The others were just okay nothing Inwould phone gome to. I asked for a dozen cookies I asked to oull three a side and one other one. Somehow the wanted to charge me for 2 6 packs instead of a dozen which would have cost me more than the dozen price - it did not make sense. I had to being it to the attention why they were doing it this was I told them I was purchasing a dosen. read more

The name really says it all -- these might actually be the best cookies in Los Angeles. The OG Chocolate Chip - immediate top-tier status. If I had a cookie trophy on me, I would've handed it over right then and there. It nails exactly what a chocolate chip cookie should be. Not too sweet, perfectly balanced, and the little sprinkle of sea salt takes it over the top. Plus, they're generously sized - the kind of cookie you could almost justify as a "meal." I grabbed a few Gluten-Free OGs too and it was a unanimous decision: best gluten-free chocolate chip cookie anyone in the group has ever had. Then there's the Dubai Chocolate OG. Good lord. If I could end every day with those flavors, life would be complete. The cookie is HUGE -- definitely splittable... unless you're feeling adventurous. By this point I was nearing cookie fatigue but obviously had to push through for "research" purposes so... I tried The Cinner - yet another winner. Across the board, every cookie had that perfect combo: slightly crisp outside and the gooey interior that you dream of. I honestly can't rave about this place enough -- the cookies are fantastic, the staff is super friendly, and I can't wait to try the German Chocolate and Tiramisu next. Whether you're a cookie connoisseur, need a sweet fix, or want to be the office hero, do yourself a favor and grab a box. You will not be disappointed. read more

These are literally melt in your mouth DELicious cookies. I love the OG'd but have also tried the Rice Krispies. I don't live close so I order them for holidays and birthday parties. So worth the money and I also love that it's a woman owned business! read more

With a name like this, it's a good bet that the cookies are gonna be great right? But seriously, I am am not one for saying which items are the best (it's so subjective), but I will say the cookies here are amazing! This place is a small cookie shop in the Pico Robertson area. The prices are pretty comfortable to other great cookie shop/ popping up now. During my visit, the person was very sweet and helpful. I ended up getting a Whoopie pie (I like marshmallow) and one of their closet chocolate chip cookies. I believe their chocolate chip cookie has just been written about in the LA times recently as of mid 2024. Definitely a great cookie spot to check out. Hoping to come back here for treats soon and to try more of their creations. read more

Amazing cookies from a small business that is locally owned, what else can you want!! Staff is always incredibly friendly and they can do custom orders. Doesn't hurt they took a stand on the right side of history, but hopefully it doesn't lead to review bombing. read more

I am surprised this cute little cookie spot isn't more popular. The Very Best Cookie offers all types of cookies and gelato. Each cookie is about $5-6 and I would say they are pretty standard size. They had over 6 different flavors of cookies and even gluten free options. Besides cookies and gelato, I saw rice crispies and brownies as well. When I came in that Saturday it wasn't busy at all. I ended up getting a whoopie pie, a snickerdoodle, and a chocolate chip cookie. I paid $17.50 for those 3 items. I thought that was a little pricey but the cookies were satisfying and good. The whoopie pie was made with their Goatmilk cookie which did not include raisins. I enjoyed it. My absolute favorit though was the simple snickerdoodle cookie. Yum! All cookies definitely ran on the more sweet side. I only came in because it was on the way for us. I'm not sure if I would make the drive from OC for them though. They were good cookies but definitely not the best I've had. But a good spot to check out if you are in the area and craving a cookie. read more

This woman-owned bakery is known for their unique and decadent cookies, and are indeed some of the very best cookies in the world! They've been recognized from the LA Times as a go-to destination for the world's best cookies and recently made The Infatuation's 13 best cookies in LA list. Highlights include their Dubai cookie with a crunchy pistachio filling, their double chocolate chip cookie with a crunchy peanut butter filling, and the cookie that started it all, the OG. Don't sleep on their other yummy goods like their Big Whoop and their version of a rice crispy treat. The shop itself is aesthetically pleasing and the staff are suuuper friendly! read more

This... was a religious experience. The classic chocolate chip cookie's just exactly what you want it to be. Like, the most perfect distillation of cookie-osity. PERFECT RATIO OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS TO DOUGH. Yes, please. Also the 'dubai cookie' version of a Peanut Butter cookie was bomb.com as were the Rice Krispie Treats (brown butter? so rich and delicious). You cant go wrong with anything you get, so TRY THEM ALL. read more

Ayo!!!! I'm back again and giving my honest answer on The Very Best Cookie. Well it really is one of the best cookies I've had. Let's start with the Oatmeal Raisin. If you're a fan of Oatmeal cookies you MUST get this! It hits all the boxes, crispy edges, chewy inside, cinnamon spices, plump raisins and buttery dough. 10/10! So i decided that same day to try Levain cause their Oatmeal cookies are one of my faves and let me tell you, it was like drinking a Coke Zero after you had a Regular Coke. Sorry not Sorry but it beats Levain. Theirs just tasted like un seasoned dough. Sorry Levain loyalist. Okay onto the OG Chocolate chip cookie. Wow! This Choc Chip cookie was also 10/10! The quality of chocolate they use and how it was gooey in the center was mind blowing. My only gripe is the size of their cookie. Pretty much the same costs as a Levain cookie and half the size. I know they have to pay the rent and with all this inflation, they gota do what they gota do to keep the lights on. This will not keep me from coming back cause they were soooo so good. There is plenty of street parking, Staff was very helpful and cards are accepted. Please yall, experience this for yourself. Support local businesses! Check them out now! read more

Another amazing cookie shop. Small businesses that put love into their products, will never go out of style. Instead of wasting time and money on nasty Crumbl cookies, there are so many gems out there that are far better... much like The Very Best Cookie. My favorite has got to be the Buttah Pecan cookie. And the Brownies and Rice Krispy Treats are not to be missed, either. Everything baked in small batches so the goods are always fresh. read more

This place is amazing!! Real homemade cookies and desserts with real quality ingredients. The chocolate chip cookie is always my go to but I've recently been branching out and tried the snickerdoodle, black and white cookie and the pumpkin Swiss roll. I'm soo obsessed I ordered the whole Swiss roll for thanksgiving dinner. Definitely won the potluck! It's filled with cream cheese frosting!!! Also, the snickerdoodle has soo much cinnamon sugar on top that I saved it and the next day I poured it all over my toast...Soo good! Don't be fooled by those chain cookie places, this place is legit. read more

Short answer: IT'S AMAZING. GO. Long answer: This bakery has a new fan! The chocolate chip cookie (The O.G.) was perfect & gooey (I warmed it up). I've never had a brownie (The Fudgiest) like this. It was actually a little salty, contrasting with the chocolate. You can see the textures of the different chunks of chocolate. It was soft & moist. The next week I went back to "investigate." I got the S'mores rice krispy (Gimme S'more RKT) that had Biscoff cookies in it. WHAT?!Softtt & just the right amount of chewiness. They also have gelato there, so that'll be the next thing to try. The young lady behind the counter helped me & was super sweet, as well. I randomly stumbled on this bakery while I was walking to another place to get food. I love a surprise find! read more
