It was lovely stumbling upon this San Diego establishment after getting Oscar's tacos next door. My friend and I were greeted by the owner and he offered us an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven! What a nice touch of hospitality :) I got the CA killer cookie with white and milk chocolate chips and the salted caramel chocolate chip and both were winners! I'll be back! read more

Love Uncle Biff's! There is a cookie for every tastebud. I love their consistency. The cookies taste as good as they did 10 years ago to today. Now I will say, they do run out of cookies, so the earlier bird gets the cookie. Atmosphere is nothing to right home about, it's a shop with some cookies in the window, no thrills. The girls that work here are nice. I have never had any problems. Of course my motto is, always be nice to the person with the cookies. read more

Had a friend who was born and raised in san diego swear that these were the best cookies in san diego. were the cookies good? Yes. But were they the absolute best in San Diego? In my Opinion, no. They have a variety of flavors to choose from. I decided to get a half dozen (including 1 free). I chose the following: Killer cookie (both with and without nuts) Chocolate chip White chocolate chip Double fudge Oatmeal chocolate chip the cookies had great flavor, however, for me, i like when the edges have a little bit of crisp to them. My favorite was the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. For a half dozen (plus 1 free), it is $20 and some change if you just get it in a bag. I think it was $20.50 if you wanted a box. The employee working didnt seem like she was in the mood for light conversation. Maybe because it was a little warm outside. Still a solid cookie. But probably not my go to. This is located off university avenue in hillcrest in a strip mall. Free parking but its a tight area and looks like it would be busy during peak hours. Unfortunately i didnt take pictures because the employee working at the time made it feel weird, but its all good! This isn't a place to hang out. No tables, just pick your cookie noms and enjoy out on the sidewalk or somewhere else. read more

Cool little cookie dive. Lot's of choices and just as you'd expect a place named "Uncle Biff's", lots of options and all freshly made. We picked up a half dozen to go and were not disappointed. read more

California Killer Cookie ($3.50) - I preferred this cookie because it had a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips, which elevated the quality of this cookie for me! Unc's Chunk ($3.50) - This was their spin on a peanut butter blossom, which I enjoyed. read more

This cookie shop is a classic in our household. We have to come here at least every year and get a dozen cookies. All of them are good, but my favorite is the California killer cookie with pecans and walnuts. I recommend that if you have a hard time making decisions with which cookie to start out with. I would've taken a photo of the cookies in the box, but everyone's hand is reaching inside for a cookie the moment the box is opened. read more

Came down to San Diego to pickup something and my son demanded we make a cookie stop here. An order of two quickly turned into a dozen. We did manage to keep our hands off until we got back to OC. So far we've really enjoyed the whole batch. Been coming here for around 30 years. Great service from really good people. Supporting a local business.They do have POS. We did ApplePay read more

Uncle Biff's California Killer Cookies - White Chocolate, Uncs Chunk, peanut butter chocolate - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

One of my favorite spots in SD for classic cookies! They have mostly classic flavors, nothing too crazy but sometimes that's what I'm looking for. My favorites are the California killer cookie (with no nuts) and the golden oatie (oatmeal with chocolate chips). Parking is sometimes tough, but I try to avoid peak times. I did knock off a star because I ordered the California killer cookie with no nuts and they gave me the ones with nuts. Thankfully I'm not severely allergic but I do have a walnut sensitivity and I immediately felt it on the first bite so I had to run in and exchange it. That kind of mistake could be way worse for someone with a severe allergy. read more

I've heard so much about this place so I had to visit. The service is very fast as most cookies are already pre made. The inside is small with no tables and chairs. You can get a half dozen cookies for about $20. The cookies themselves are pretty good. They are nice and chewy. read more

I've been wanting to try their cookies out and finally took the plunge. The cookies were kind of small for the price and there were flies trapped in between the display case along the cookies. We ordered half a dozen, the coconut macadamia cookie was not good, tasted like cardboard. Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookie was alright, we've had better. Oatmeal chocolate chip was actually pretty good and the others weren't memorable enough for me to even think of what else we ordered. I believe we actually only took a bite or so and tossed them out. The girl at the counter, seemed annoyed that there were customers and wasn't very welcoming. read more

Uncle Biff's California Killer Cookies - The only good cookie. Oatmeal chocolate chip - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Being from San Francisco, this is like the San Diego version of Hot Cookie. Absolutely love all the variety. Plus all the cookies tasted so fresh. California Killer Cookie (No Nuts): A crowd favorite. Something really nice about mixing white chocolate and milk chocolate. Chocolate Chip Macadamia: Love me some macadamia nut, so even better with chocolate. Double Fudge: It was an all chocolate cookie, but I didn't seem to pick up on the double aspect. Golden Oatie: I'm usually not a fan of oatmeal cookies, but this one was great. Really loved the chocolate chip against the grainy oat. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip: A very peanut buttery cookie with a few chocolate chips on top. Kinda wish there was more chocolate. Sea Salt Caramel: I think this was my favorite. A regular chocolate chip cookie with a big circle of caramel in the middle. Like how can someone make the chocolate chip cookie even better? This is how! White Chocolate Macadamia: Another macadamia nut favorite. This time complemented with the whole chocolate; though I think I prefer the regular chocolate chips. read more

We ordered: Killer White choc Toff Salted caramel And all were delicious. We ate them over a course of 2 days and they were all just as good. Perfectly chewy and soft in the middle. Perfect with cold milk. read more

While their parking lot was a total nightmare when I went (who power washes a parking lot at 11am on the Saturday before Mother's Day?!), I was able to park across the street and walk over to get some cookies for my wife. These cookies are so good! I love that they stick with the classics but have a couple fun varieties too. My favorite was the caramel chocolate chip one. Service is also super friendly-they gave me an extra cookie when I bought 6! read more

Fresh and tasty cookies! We ordered a half dozen cookies for around $20 and got a seventh cookie for free. Since it was our first time, the worker gave us a free coconut macadamia cookie to try which was so nice of them! We got the California killer cookie with and without nuts, white chocolate macadamia, chocolate chip, chocolate chip macadamia and oatmeal raisin. The cookies were fresh, moist and chewy on the inside and slightly crispy on the edges. They were also loaded with toppings and were not overly sweet which is perfect for me. My fav was the signature California killer cookie without nuts. I continued to eat some a few days after purchasing and they were still good and moist! read more

Yummy fresh cookies! The interior gives cozy homemade vibes. Since it was our first time, the worker gave us a sample of their coconut macadamia cookie which was so sweet of them! Ordered a half dozen for $20.50 and got a seventh cookie for free. We got the California Killer with and without nuts, White Chocolate Macadamia, Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chip, and Chocolate Chip Macadamia. They're soft and chewy on the inside and have a slight crisp on the edges which is the best of both worlds! My favorite is their signature California killer cookie, just the right amount of sweetness. read more

While the cookies are good, they're definitely not good enough for me to buy them with flies landing on top. The store keeps its doors wide open, and the cookies sit out uncovered with nothing to prevent bugs from getting on them. It completely ruined the experience for me. I won't be back until they figure out better food safety and hygiene. read more

These cookies are SO damn good. They're simple, but all baked to perfection. Anytime my family or friends come to visit we go there for a sweet treat. My favorites are the California killer, golden oatie, and white chocolate macadamia nut. I typically get half a dozen- and you get one free!! Sooo it's definitely worth it. If you're in the area and looking for something sweet, definitely stop by here. Parking lot is super small and crowded, but there are often street parking spots available on the side street. Service is typically pretty quick and all staff I've met were friendly and welcoming. read more

Cash only so stop by the ATM before heading over to enjoy these delicious cookies. It's a no frills place with that I liken to a mix of Levain and Mrs. Fields. The chocolate chip walnut and peanut butter was one of my favorites and I love the texture in these cookies, a bit firm and crispy on the outside and a lot of soft good inside. read more

Just OK, but not great. One of the two cookies we got were good but the peanut butter one was dry and pretty flavorless. Barely and peanut butter flavor. Tossed half of it rather than finish it. I guess I'm just disappointed because a lot of cookie places don't have peanut butter cookies or they're a combination of flavors and so it was a letdown. read more

Saturday early afternoon visit, we were greeted by the window washers' dog Ellie. It smelled wonderful when we walked in. There were regulars in line before us. One said she's been coming since she was a little girl, here today with her elderly mother. That's always a good sign. We were offered a generous sample, two quarters of the Double Chocolate. We got the Salted Caramel, Uncle Chunk Peanut Butter & Chocolate and Semisweet Chocolate Chip. They had yesterday's cookies bundled available for a discount. There was a wide variety of flavors. They also have cookie dough for sale too. read more

Uncle Biff's California Killer Cookies - Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Solid, classic cookies that aren't too sweet (looking at you Crumbl)! Uncle Biff's makes cookies and only cookies. Most of Uncle Biff's flavors are classics mixing chocolate, nuts, and maybe Oreos. The dough has a homemade taste with strong vanilla extract flavor. The texture is on the soft side, tastes great after a quick warmup in a toaster oven or air fryer. This time I got the milk chocolate chip cookie ($3.50). Cash only if you buy only one or two cookies. Because we got there in the evening around 7 pm, the staff were kind enough to give us a sample of extra cookies they had just made. There's no seating inside or out so prepare to take it to go. Just a warning to my fellow allergy friends, I am allergic to peanuts and had the slightest reaction to the chocolate chip cookie. Not sure if it's because they're in the same display case or there was cross contamination on equipment. I know they can't guarantee no cross contamination so just be aware! A great sweet snack in the heart of Hillcrest. I prefer Uncle Biff's over other specialty cookie stores because they taste homemade. Maybe next time I'll bring them home to make an ice cream sandwich! read more

Stopped by here around 7pm and just like I expected, there weren't much cookies out since I arrived an hour before they closed lol. They didn't really have much but the only ones that stood out to me were the milk chocolate cookies and the semi sweet macadamia nuts. So I ordered a half dozen of those two, which was essentially $3 per cookie. It's a pretty high price for cookies tbh. Trying them out, wow they're REALLY GOOOD. They're so soft, full of butter, and verrryyy sweet that it makes you feel so guilty after eating these lol. The milk chocolate ones were a classic and this was softer than the semi-sweet macadamia nuts, but those give a nice crunch and different texture of the cookie. Both were really gooood. They don't taste as good the next few days after, so it's better to have them when they're fresh. read more

I've been going to Uncle Biff's since they opened in the 80s when I lived here. Every visit back to SD includes at least one trip to get cookies. To me, they are literally the best cookies. Just retired and planning on moving back. Is it for the cookies? It may be. read more

It's still a favorite of mine. I'll have to have friends bring some up for me. I last visited a few months ago. It's in the same location and tastes the same as I remember it. I always get the California Killer. I got a baker's dozen for my friend whose birthday we were celebrating on our visit. read more

Their cookies are soooooo good! Friendly staff. My go to spot whenever I crave cookies.

Really good cookies! I loved the peanut butter! And they support nurses! Thank you! We will be back!

Eating a hot, freshly baked chocolate chip cookie from Uncle Biff's in Hillcrest, San Diego, is an awesome way to satisfy your sweet tooth. What's not to like about a warm, fresh-baked cookie? I don't like the parking situation in the area; however, if I do endure parking in this situation, then I will get a half dozen cookies and a taco next door (at Oscar's mexican seafood). My strategy, however, is usually to have my wife drop me off while I pick up our order. read more

Service wasnt the best both biff and his employee didnt seem like they wanted to be there.

We came during closing so they ran out of a lot of flavors but we were still able to snag some! Their cookies are so good! We love a good home made cookie. read more

I was gifted a variety of these cookies. Thick, moist, and delicious just to sum it up! You can taste the quality of ingredients. I would definitely visit the store front if in the area! read more

I had tried Uncle Biff's years ago and didn't like their cookies because they were the thicker kind. However, we were grabbing tacos next door and I decided to give it another try. I got the oatmeal raisin and the oatmeal raisin chocolate chip (forgot the official name). Don't hate cause I got oatmeal. ;) This time around, it was better. The cookies seemed thinner than before and they were tasty too. I didn't like the one with the chocolate chips but did like the regular oatmeal raisin. Parking sucks so don't even try in the lot. Overall, the cookies are ok, I might get it occasionally but not drawn to keep going. read more

Amazing service. Delicious cookies. Good prices. Owner heard we're from out of town and offered us samples! read more

I was really excited to try Uncle Biff's cookies, but unfortunately, my experience was a bit underwhelming. I'm a huge cookie lover, so I had high hopes but the cookies I received lacked flavor and, although they came out warm, they were quite mushy and still felt underbaked. It broke when the worker handed it to me. I do want to highlight that the service was great; the staff was very friendly and helpful, which I truly appreciated. The bakery itself inside felt very simple and looked very simple but overall, the cookies just didn't meet my expectations. I bought a lot of them and tried all and none of them stood out. read more

So good! Support small businesses. The worker was so nice and they let us sample one!

Best cookies ever!!!! Yes parking sucks but those cookies are worth it! Everyone in the family loved the white chocolate macadamia nut, salted caramel, the classic semi sweet chocolate chip, and the stuffed Cho chip Oreo. For my two freebies with the dozen I got the golden oatie and the coconut macadamia nut--they're so good!!! My favorites are so hard to choose because I loved them all, who doesn't love cookies!? read more
