I am a major cookie fiend. Since childhood and even after pastry school, I always have cookies on my mind. I bake my own, I have my favorites at particular cafes, bakeshops, and have tried Hello Robin, Midnight Cookie, Lowrider Baking Company, and even Cow Chip will do in a pinch. Haven't tried the newbie Mariah Carey ones though. Yes, this Yelper is really late to the party and was determined this rainy Saturday morning to locate Bell's Cookie (12/19/20).
I'm a former QA resident, often found at Two Kick, but directionally challenged. So where the heck is this located? Followed along the ship canal looking across to Fremont, saw a cookie sign, and cue the aria upon its discovery! Bell's Cookie is located at Almquist Family Winery at Etruria and Nickerson, tucked behind the bamboo. It's in that area in between the Fremont Bridge and Seattle Pacific University.
Bell's Cookie is associated with Table Catering and housed in the greenhouse catering space adjacent to Almquist Family Winery. I was told this opened to great success in April, brilliant pivot during the pandemic!
This was my first visit and was immediately dazzled by the counter display of featured cookies. Arriving shortly after opening, there was an amazing fresh selection on the speed rack. Freshly baked cookie scent should be a fragrance, essential oil, or rear view mirror tree, I digress.
Protip: Buy 6 cookies, get 1 free. Buy 12 cookies, get 2 free. Show the Yelp check-in feature.
A dozen with tax is under $40, so the extra two cookies made my day! Score!
The person behind the counter was very personable, so rare to be able to talk to another person these days. Yes, we were masked, there's also a protective plexiglass screen, and card payments are welcomed. Cookies were arranged very nicely in a sturdy takeout box. Perfect for holiday gift giving, forget Santa and keep them for yourself, lol. You can buy them onsite, online, arranged for delivery or shipment.
You can see my attached photos, I ended up with all of the featured and special cookies of the day. Freshly baked, flavorful, striking that balance with crisp and moist textures, simply top notch! These are to be savored and celebrated. Today's collection would get ten Yelp stars: 5 from me, and 5 from the resident teenager, The Homie.
Delicious and highly recommended!
