HANDS DOWN THE BEST COOKIES I'VE EVER HAD! Saw a TikTok yesterday and hubby and I decided to go today. Man am I glad we did! Plenty of meter parking in the front. Greeted as soon as we entered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating available inside. Cute place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hubby and I got a 6 pack of cookies (2 choc chip, 2 oatmeal raisin, one double chocolate and one oatmeal whoopie pie) plus a toffee cookie. Came out to around $41. WORTH EVERY PENNY! The owner offered to have them warmed up and of course I said yes. Each cookie was delicious in its own right. Not too sweet. But the star of the show was that oatmeal whoopie pie. MY GOODNESS!!! Delectable. I couldn't stop raving about that damn cookie! I told the owner that she should be proud of products she's selling. You can clearly tell the love she puts into her baked goods. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Ambiance - can't speak on it, since I ordered via DoorDash Service - can't speak on it, since I ordered via DoorDash Food - I tried the O.G. Chocolate Chip Cookie and the Brown Butter Cookie. If you like an ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie that's on the sweet side, go with the O.G. Very classic chocolate chip cookie that would make anyone happy, but personally not the best I've ever had. The Brown Butter Cookie on the other hand was hands down my favorite. I like some saltiness in my desserts, and the toffee and sea salt added a nice balance to the sweetness. This is a BIG cookie too, so you definitely get what you pay for! Would for sure go back just for this cookie. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe inside is very fun and I will definitely be back in the future.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

Their cookies and rice crispies were delicious - you can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients. They had a perfect crisp and then chew and the flavors were on point. Our favorites were the toffee chocolate chip, strawberry shortcake (seasonal), brown butter rice Krispy and Dubai. read more

They call themselves the very best cookie in the world but honestly I didn't like them much. Employees act really nice, but they're just doing their jobs with good manners. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is ok, not the greatest- not too many places to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Probably would not come back here for cookies. 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

I have yet to try the cookies here because I can't get past how incredible the rice krispy treats are!! I've had the individual squares (perfect lil marshmallow treats), and recently got a rice krispy cake for a birthday party. Every guest was talking about it! Even the owner of the event space asked to try a bit. It was delicious, and so memorable. The brown butter just makes it so rich and tasty. Go get yourself one, they're unforgettable! read more

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

Such an adorable spot in LA! came in and got 6 cookies and a latte. vanilla latte wasn't overly sweet which was perfect and i loved the cookies... crunchy on the outside and gooey in the middle. the og cookie is my favorite!! very yummy with the sea salt to balance it out! everything else was great too, another notable dessert that was my favorite was the whoopie pie as well. amazing oatmeal cookie sandwich! the staff there were very cheerful and helped so much with recommendations too. would definitely be back! 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

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!!!

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

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

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 [[HIGHLIGHT]]the inside was clean and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

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

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself has the coolest retro neon vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seriously, spoil yourself and make this your regular LA stop. 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

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

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

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

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
