Takeout and souvenir store only with no seating. This crumbly, sweet, much like the Russian butter cookie is a good diversion ie layover from the road trip along the Pacific Coast highway. The cookie is crumbly and the plastic packaging provides little stability during handlng but comes in various sized packs and flavour variations. Great with a cup of coffee or tea. Tasting samples are available. Cashier service may need to be on top of promotional or gift packages as most servers seem young and not properly trained in customer and sales service.

When I first discovered this place, it was really delicious.The melt in your mouth freshly made.You could choose just a few if you wanted or get more. Now they are overpriced and the cookies did not taste fresh they tasted old. They weren't the cookies.I remembered getting before and I was greatly disappointed and paid over forty eight dollars To get 2 bags of cookies and they were over cooked.They weren't the delicious melt in your mouth.Cookies will never go back

Where did our beloved cookies go? The round delicious cookies hand rolled with love are no longer. We order 40 doz every yearat Christmas time but sadly if they are these square bland bricks still? We won't be giving them away anymore. We were willing to pay 25$ a doz when they were delicious hand rolled with love cookies. But not for what they are selling now. Very sad. Hopefully they get the hint and go to back to tradition and love.

The cookies quite pricey but delicious. Love the atmosphere and staff are nice and friend. They sure give few samples to try which one you would like. Ill get some more of them next time.

What an absolute heartbreak. My family has been visiting Cayucos since the 1930s. Back when they were hand-rolled into soft, round, salty, perfect bites of shortbread heaven. You could taste the care, the craft, the pride in every warm, golden circle. But this week? We met their corpse. The iconic rounds have been butchered into lazy, cold, industrial slabs, sliced into soulless squares like factory scrap. Now you can look forward to taking a bite out of what looks and has the taste of a brick of sand for an unreasonable price. No hand-rolling. No joy. No love. Just blocks of blandness, cranked out in the name of “efficiency” and “cost-cutting.” And the betrayal runs deeper. Years ago they separated the cocoa and original packs, forcing loyal customers to pay more for what they once thoughtfully bundled together. We gritted our teeth and bore that insult, hoping the cookies themselves would remain sacred. But now they’ve destroyed even that. These lifeless squares are pure evidence of a business that no longer respects its product, or the generations of customers who built its name. It’s a hollow money-grab disguised as tradition. We won’t be back. Not until they care again. Not until they remember that what made these cookies special wasn’t convenience or profit: it was love. What a waste. What a shame. We don’t go to the beach for the cookies anymore.

Everybody talks about this place is a MUST if you are visiting morro bay, so we make the trip just now.. We are so bad y’all.. sampling cooking for breakfast is terrible but we did it while on vacation. We immediately were greetings with samples and in the 15 minutes, I purchased the following Original 1 dozen toffee 1 dozen For my clients 2 dozens of original Freebies: toffee + original for my founders I think we spent $200.. I love supporting small local businesses and eating good food… Sidebar; so the price point is worth it for me y’all… if it’s not for you, perhaps y’all should diy because their cookies are a luxury item for folks who want to indulge in a opulence 😍

Workers are very friendly and helpful. They had several samples of their best sellers. They also had a small number of day-old cookies and a discount, which is great. Ended up grabbing their mixed cookie bundles. Super delicious 😋

Some of the best cookies ever! We always look for Brown Butter cookie locations. Very friendly with samples and this one has ice cream too. I do miss the round cookies though.
