Excellent, special-but-familiar cookies. I picked these up from a Seattle street market, after having picked up other cookies, donuts, and too much food. Because of that I didn't try them until late that night, and they were still so moist, flavorful, and unique! I'm not often impressed by unique cookie flavors, but these are different. There was no single overpowering flavor, and the combos blended well to make something new. Folks at the booth were super friendly to describe pandan flavor to me (delicious BTW). Every cookie was a winner, and if I see them again I'll grab the ones that sounded more scary to try also :D Edit - just want to add that I'm usually not a fan of honey anything, but the BB honeycomb was one of my favorites. It was more a chewy caramel consistency and didn't have that overpowering honey flavor but still tasted different than a pure caramel. read more

I finally got a chance to try this place at the Bellevue farmers market! I been following them for a while now so was pretty excited to try these cookies. The lady and the guy there was nice and thoughtful about my likes and dislikes, which I appreciate. I ended up getting 6 cookies to try: Neopolitan -- I should have gotten individual flavors because my husband ate the whole thing didn't realizing it was different flavors...I did get a taste of the black sesame portion and it was really good. Yuzu strawberry --- one of my favorite! Love the flavor combo Gogujiugan snickerdoodle -- I like the sweet and savory combo Miso caramel -- this sweet and savory combo was also pretty good Honeycomb -- ok Peanut butter fluff -- ok as well These are the soft style type, which isn't what I usually go for, but I like most of the flavors I got. It was definitely worth a try at this place. Will definitely try their other creative flavors next time :) read more

I have been following this shop for awhile now waiting for them to stop by Seattle side, and they finally did! Umai is a little cookie shop (home bakery) run by David Okamoto, who grew up in Hawai'i and Japan. He has traveled throughout many areas of Asia learning and sharing his love for cooking and baking, and now he brings his uniquely delicious cookies to Washington! - *Strawberry Matcha *Peanut Butter Crunch *Chocolate Chip *Miso Caramel White Chocolate *Dubai Chocolate *Ube Milky Caramel - I personally like kind of softer cookies, so the batch I had were just a tad bit firm, but I thoroughly enjoyed them! The flavors matched the name of the cookies and I liked how the chocolate bits were on the chunkier side. Out of the 6 that I tried, my top 3 favorite flavors would have to be the Ube Milky Caramel, Chocolate Chip, and Strawberry Matcha! I look forward to buying more cookies next time! David and Nicole were sweet and I enjoyed talking to them! The prices are very reasonable and it was worth waiting to try. They don't have a permanent shop, just pop-ups, but the vibes were great. read more

I am a baked goods enthusiast and have been on a journey to get healthy, which means I've been limiting my intake of sweets. However, everything changed when I came across a post about Umai cookies. I felt drawn to their story and was excited to discover they are local. I had to try them! I love that I could order online for next-day pickup, so I didn't have to hunt for them at a farmers market. Finding great cookies can be quite a challenge, but these cookies are absolutely delicious! They have the perfect texture--not overly sweet and not cake-like, just right. The ordering and pickup process was straightforward and hassle-free. I would definitely recommend these cookies and will be ordering from them again! read more

I'm here to talk about the chocolate chip cookie specifically. To judge a place right, you must try their most basic flavor. Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza at a Pizzaria, Vanilla at the gelato shop, and Chocolate Chip cookie here. I think it's a good way to see whether the skills are there or if other ingredients are needed to cover up/improve for the lack thereof (for ex. flavored beers...). And you know what? They're solid. So satisfying that I ordered another 3 dozen to share with my coworkers and then stash away in my freezer for my emergency sweet treat. My BIGGEST GRIPE with some other specialty cookies are that they're dry/ not a good balance of flavors, making some bites flavorless. These cookies are exactly what I am looking for/craving in a cookie. Buttery (AKA NOT DRY), generous with the chocolate and good variety of chocolate types to add dimension, and perfectly soft. Of course, I microwave mine. I know some that enjoy their cookie frozen/refrigerated, but I'm not a built like that. If you're like me and have a 1000 watt microwave, try 39 seconds at 90% power if warming from frozen. I dabble in crumble cookies (I enjoy trying new niche flavors) and I find that it takes me a long time to get through some of the flavors, even if I enjoy them. The one flavor I tried from here was definitely a more homemade and quality experience, for what I calculated to be a cheaper price per cookie than crumble. It looks like they are experimenting with new and unique flavors, so now that I'm confident in their classic offerings, I'm excited to be able to still get that experimental experience here too. Now that the most important part of this review is covered, I can report that the delivery was very smooth with my order, communication prompt, and cookies in good visual condition when received. I'll update as I try other flavors. read more

I ordered a dozen that included chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia nut, and triple chocolate. I definitely regret not getting two dozen! Chef David was great at answering questions and explaining the ingredients that he uses which are only the best. My favorite of the three flavors was chocolate chip--very soft, chewy, and the perfect size (not too small). It was great straight from the bag but even better warmed up in the oven with a scoop of vanilla. Can't wait to get more and can't wait to try more flavors! read more

The cookies are amazing! You can taste the quality and love in every bite! Pickup was easy and fast!

Umai posted in a local group about their cookies. I'm so glad I ordered some!! They are large, soft, gooey cookies! They are literally so good. The business owners are nice and friendly and really care about the customer experience as well as the quality of their product. They are literally. So. Good. read more

I didn't realize this was a home business; didn't see their message to me about that till just now. The cookies are awesome; freshly baked and a good size. Appreciated the cookies packed in individually sealed cello bags, & storage suggestions. I ordered Macadamia Nut White Chocolate; they were perfection. Will definitely reorder from Umai. read more

When I tell you these cookies are amazing.... Amazing is an under statement :) AND YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY HEARD IT FROM ME... when you think you've gotten enough for yourself and a FEW coworkers (3 coworkers to be exact...) make sure you get a few more, cause this was a HIT in my office... and I had to hide the chocolate chip from everyone, haha ^.^" read more

One thing you can always count on are quality ingredients! There is a unique blend of flavors and textures throughout each cookie

Worth a drive for fresh cookies. Umai puts their own spin on cookies and flavors. Good for bringing to a potluck or party.

Delicious! I bought online and the cookies were perfectly packed. Nothing was broken and they looked great for the party I'm bringing them to. The flavor combos are all super unique and interesting!! read more

Had the privilege to eat these cookies! My oh my, I would have to recommend these offerings to anyone who loves food! You don't even have to like cookies or be a desert person! But to understand the balance of taste and texture in these masterpieces! 100 stars read more

A friend of mine recently got these for a celebration and they are so delicious!!! I highly recommend getting these for your next special occasion - the prices are really reasonable for the service and quality! I'm sad I don't live in the area and am hoping they start offering shipping soon! Hint, hint... read more

quality and delicious cookies. The workers and owner were great to deal with. 5 stars

Got 10 dozen of these for an office gathering. David was so great to work with, and the cookies were so amazing! I think I found my new gifting solution. read more

I can't speak highly enough about the quality and taste of these cookies! I can't wait until David expands into other baked goods, because his cookies are some of the best I've ever had. I typically am not a fan of white chocolate macadamia cookies but somehow David made these in a way that I couldn't stop eating them! read more

I can't say enough about these cookies... don't underestimate the classic Chocolate Chip! My personal favorite right now is the Miso Caramel White Chocolate (tester flavor) with a chewy middle and slightly crispy edge. Runners up were Snickerdoodle, Triple Chocolate and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut. I will keep coming back!!! Plus these are great for an event since they're individually packaged. read more

AMAZING! It was definitely worth the trip to pick them up. The Triple Chocolate cookies are out of this world!

David's cookies are the best! Not too sweet, just right! It's worth EVERY penny!! Not expensive and bland or too sweet like some of the other dessert shops. I have bought cookies from him for years, and shared with many people, all of them can't wait to get their hands on more!!! read more

I ordered a few dozen cookies for myself and to share with family and friends. Since I pre-ordered, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were individually wrapped, which made sharing them so easy. They were also packaged thoughtfully so they wouldn't break. I ordered 3 flavors, and they were all delicious. You can taste the freshness, as though you made them yourself at home. I appreciate that these can be frozen to save for later, just in case you don't eat them all at once. The level of service and quality make these my go-to place for events. read more

Umai cookies are like nothing you've tried before. Texture and taste are unbelievable! Had to order a dozen since I wanted to try every flavor. Each cookie is individually wrapped which makes great small gifts. Must try! read more

Best home made style cookies I've ever had. David really knows how to make it taste like grandma made it

Pro tip: try the white chocolate mac nut! It's the best sweet but not to sweet flavor, if you know what I mean. These cookies blow crumbl out of the water. I hope the owner starts offering new flavors soon!! read more

I've had the pleasure of having these cookies here stateside and in Thailand as well where the original shop started. The cookies are just so soft and flavorful. the texture is nice and soft and taste even better if heated up slightly. The cookies really nail it when it comes to their flavor and variety offerings. read more

These cookies are by far the best I have ever tasted! I also got a cake for my birthday and it was the best cake I have ever tasted! It tasted fresh and we ate every last piece! read more
