food quality: 5/5 service: n/a - Take Away Only cleanliness: 5/5 value: 5/5 Loved my first experience at Goodnight Fatty! There is a rotating set of cookies each month and each of them look delicious! We got the Campfire and Drumstick fatty and it was still warm and delicious. The staff was nice and the shop was super cute! Can’t wait to go back and try more!

These cookies lived up to the expectations! The fact that they are served warm really adds up. Liked the texture which is on the softer side with a bit of crisp at the edges. The flavors are unique and original, I'm only sorry I will probably won't get to come back soon and try more of it. I love the fact that a place choose to make only one thing and does it really well, makes me appreciate it more.

You guys have my heart and soul. The rice crispy cookie, sour patch kid cookies and anything chocolate dough are my favs. I love your creative and inventive spirit. You guys keep what I've always loved about Salem alive. Going to serve these at my wedding ♥️ Also should out to Dylan for her kindness, excellent service and creative makeup around halloween! I wish there was inside space to sit still for winter times but maybe one day! Until then I’m happy to eat them in my car lol.

$12 for 6 cookies I've been coming here for 5 plus years. This is the most recent batch that I got. Love this place! Love the cookies. If you are ever in Salem on the weekends put this place on your stop list!

Good Night Fatty has a fun vibe and creative cookie options, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed for the price. The animal cracker cookie was definitely the standout—perfectly baked and full of nostalgic flavor. However, the chocolate ice cream had a strange minty aftertaste, which was disappointing since I really dislike mint. For the cost, I expected everything to be spot-on, but that wasn’t quite the case. Overall, it’s worth trying if you’re in the area and curious, but I’m not sure I’d rush back.

It is my first time in Salem and I was looking for a sweet treat after dinner. The ice cream and the cookies were absolutely amazing! I am definitely going back to check out their cookies during the rest of my vacation. The atmosphere was great and staff were also very friendly.

At Goodnight Fatty, the atmosphere is cozy, and they offer sweet treats, including their signature 'fatty' cookie. Additionally, they offer a Sunday breakfast option. However, some might find the fatty a tad pricey, at $4 each or $10 for a flight of three. Flavors change weekly, and while some, like the Cosmic Brownie, are delicious, others, like the Carrot Cake, may disappoint. I visited on a Sunday around 4 pm and didn't have to wait in line. The staff was friendly, and my order came quickly. Credit cards accepted.

It’s a great experience every time we visit this place. Consistency seems to be the secret recipe to their perfect cookies. It’s a must visit place when you visit Salem.

I've been eyeing Goodnight Fatty for a while now and FINALLY made the stop in for cookies. Now, I can't stop thinking about them! They have really interesting flavors and the cookies are a good size. They come out nice and warm and were soooooo good! My friend who is vegan was with me and was stoked to see they had a vegan soft serve (which she said was excellent as well). Great service, cool decor, and fabulous treats. I'll be back often!

My cousin shared Goodnight Fatty with us and let's just say, I am glad I don't live around the corner because it would be a problem - the cookies are amazing!! Regardless of whether you live in Salem or not, it is worth making your way over for a sweet treat. I unfortunately don't have any pictures because they are too good and we always dig right in, so you'll have to take my word for it. They have fun and unique flavors that they rotate around. They only make three flavors each time and you will find out what they are when you order or show up - you can catch an announcement on their socials too. I don't think you can really get a flavor you don't like, maybe one you wouldn't have thought of or tried otherwise but that is what is kind of cool about it. While it's a unique style, it's actually nice to not have the paradox of too many choices, and you know they are fresh and made for that night. They can get pretty busy so don't be surprised if there is a line, but they do move pretty quickly. I believe they have delivery as an option as well. Definitely recommend giving goodnight fatty a try!!

Don't let the line scare you, it moves quick and these cookies aka Fatties are worth the small wait. I really enjoyed getting the flight to try each one an they all were amazing! You might not be able to decide which one was your favorite because they are that good. They are very rich but you won't make a wrong decision whatever you choose!

I first saw Goodnight Fatty on someone's socials and it looked amazing, so when we were in Salem for the day I made sure to stop in. It was freeeezing out so ice cream was a tough decision, but we chose the chocolate and vanilla swirl and I can't remember which cookie. My hubby got the unlimited milk to go with it. So good!

Last weekend, my friends and I visited Salem. One of my friends and I stop by good night fatty, and it was delicious! I got a twisted soft ice cream cone. The ice cream just melts in my mouth and was incredible tasting. The fatty's, which were just giant stuffed chocolate chip cookies, also look delicious. I wish I had had more room in my stomach lol. Goodnight fatty is a definite must visit for anyone in the Salem area.

Stopped in the cookie flight and it was worth it! You get 3 cookies for 12 and the flight changes constantly. Ours was good, super sweet but very tasty. You can get a side of milk to drink with your cookies. Service was quick. They have no indoor seating but some outside seating right outside their door. Worth a stop while there.

Allen P.

Yelp
What a cool little place! The cookies were delicious and the flavors were so creative. Everyone in the place had a smile on their face and despite the line they were quick. They are also open late if you're looking for a late night snack. One warning, there are no inside tables. Everything is outside seating. Great on a warmer evening but definitely a to go place on the cooler days and nights.

Brittany C.

Yelp
Amazing cookies! Especially after visiting the town. Every time I visit, there is a new delicious flavor. Can't pass up on the cold milk with the warm cookies!!

Andi C.

Yelp
One of our favorite haunts to stop in when in Salem. I will say, I truly enjoyed when they were a bit hidden down an alleyway and the smell of fresh baked cookies led the way. However, I still appreciate the great service and cookies they continue to produce!

Great place to check out with free milk when you check in. You can eat outside. Service was quick. They take Cash app which is great.

The cookies here were pretty great. There is a bit of an assembly line so by the time you order they come out hot and fresh. Love the name.

We went for a late night cookie after walking around Salem, and the chocolate donut cookie was AMAZING. They only offer a small menu, but the quality is worth it. Service was fast and the inside is very cute and modern. You can also get some milk to go along with your cookies.

We were told to come to Goodnight Fatty by a vendor at the popup artisan market blocks away. She said this place IS A MUST, and she wasn't wrong! A Yelp check in gets you a FREE bottomless milk! Whole, 2%, or soy. They have a few flavor options of fatties(cookies) but the REAL choice is: do I order just one? Or the sampler (3 flavors of the day)? The do NOT post their menu online. You just gotta go in. I like that, especially in this day ands age where every bit of information is offered. I like a little mystery... Their video playing on their counter front is triiiiiiiiiippy! Kids love it too. We went around 5pm when it was a short line but we heard that they get JAM PACKED. Go get yourself a fatty sampler!

Susan N.

Yelp
My friend and I were visiting Salem and this place was suggested to us. $12 for a flight of 3 cookies was not too bad and can definitely be shared. My favorite one was the Halloween funfetti one. The other 2 were nothing special.

Rebecca M.

Yelp
Cookies are delicious and the vibes are fun. If you need something sweet and some unique flavors this is a good stop. The lemon poppy was my favorite. The line looked long, but it went fast.

Gloria L.

Yelp
Wow, these cookies are definitely worth trying if you're in Salem! They only have certain flavors each day and they are definitely made fresh to order because the smell of the cookies just permeates once you walk inside this shop. But these cookies were great and they were also huge! I love the unique flavors they had and thought they were all really good in the three pack we got.

Dasha E.

Yelp
Oh no. What a disappointment. Prior to our trip I selected various places to visit and this was on the list. I definitely expected so much more. We didn't realize that there were only three types of cookies, I wish there was more variety and different types of textures. We ordered the Boston and the blueberry cookies. I also ordered coffee with some kind of special cream that they make. Guys please if you are reading this review, please invest in an espresso machine and make lattes/cappuccinos!! That coffee that you serve is absolutely horrendous. It was thrown out after a sip. Cookies were not up to par. The texture was off and the tastes were incohesive. It was very much a disappointment. They have such potential. The space is gorgeous. The decor is out of this world literally and the outdoor seating is so cool. The owners can do so much with this shop. If they change it up a bit we may visit once again, but if not, goodbye fatty.

Really good vegan soft serve which was a first for me! I unfortunately didn't try the cookies and they weren't advertised to me either. I found out much later that they're known for them and I am disappointed I didn't get to try them. It was my first time their and I just needed a little guidance. But the soft serve was awesome, and yelpers there is a check in offer here!

Daniel R.

Yelp
The name kinda took me aback, but hey the deserts are really great! I'd say they might even be a bit too overboard and sugary (for me anyways) but that's probably part of the whole gimmick. Really great little patio outside to eat in and it's in a very good location right next to the park.

Yummy cookies. Great for a late night treat. Check in to get a free bottomless milk! You will need it!!

This is MUST stop in Salem. Cookies.. and Milk on a super cold day what else could you want :) Parking: There is metered parking and large public parking lots around the cookie shop. Quality of Food: The cookie shop has three cookies they make each day. They are making them on the spot so it's pretty cool to see. Service: The staff were very nice and explained the menu to us. They made sure that we knew about all the types of cookies available and we were satisified about how they taste.

Cool little shop! Cookies were on point and even better the next day! Will definitely be back!

Good cookie and ice cream spot. A little pricey but that is what happens at a desert place in a touristy town.

Title: No Magic Zone - Fattys, Where Cookies Are Just Cookies Step into Fattys, a cookie haven with a twist of nostalgia and a unique lineup of thicc, freshly baked treats served straight out of the oven. However, if you're expecting an enchanting, magical experience, you might be in for a disappointment. My recent visit to Fattys left me with mixed feelings. The cookies, or "Fatties" as they call them, were indeed generously sized and made with what seemed to be quality ingredients. The promise of a new lineup of flavors every weekend was intriguing, but unfortunately, the taste didn't live up to the excitement. My wife and I opted for two different flavors, hoping for a delightful surprise. While they were enjoyable, they lacked that extraordinary factor that one might expect from a place with such a quirky name and rotating menu. The "Fatties" were just cookies - no more, no less. The biggest downside of our visit was the price. The bill for two small cups of twist ice cream and two cookies amounted to a staggering $25. For what we received, it was undeniably overpriced. It felt like we were paying for the novelty and the cool setup rather than the taste experience itself. Speaking of which, the ambiance at Fattys was undoubtedly trendy, and the location was prime, attracting a constant stream of customers. The place was always bustling with activity, creating a vibrant atmosphere that added to its charm. However, if you're on the hunt for something truly magical or exceptional, Fattys might not be your ideal destination. It's a cozy spot to indulge in decent cookies and a twist of nostalgia, but don't expect a culinary wizardry that will leave you spellbound. In summary, Fattys has its strengths - the impressive cookie size, the rotating lineup, and a trendy ambiance - but it falls short in delivering the enchanting, magical experience that some might hope for. For those seeking a unique cookie adventure without the expectation of extraordinary flavors, Fattys might be worth a visit. Just be prepared for the premium price tag and remember that, here, cookies are simply cookies.

Such a cute concept with delicious cookies! Love the name too! We couldn't stop smiling or laughing about it. Service was fast.

Sooooooo yummy. Great cookies; somehow they made an indulgent cookie that is not too sweet and not too big. It is just right. They put crumble cookies to shame! Friendly staff who clearly loved the cookies as much as we did.

In downtown Salem you'll find a great cookie spot called, Good night fatty. They're only open three days a week (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) but it's totally worth it to check them out. Each week they have a different selection of cookies and you can buy them individually, in a three pack or in a six pack. I went with my friend and we got a six pack of the cookies of the week and they packed them up so quickly and they were still warm! Each cookie was so delicious and unique from each other. I'm so glad we got at least one of each to try. I would 100% suggest going here and getting yourself some yummy cookies!

Tisha R.

The customer service is very friendly! The line was long, but it moved very quickly. I loved the outdoor seating. Best of all these cookies are served warm and they are incredible! The tall glass of cold, almond milk was perfect. I highly recommend! Even if there's a long line just wait. Definitely worth it.

THEE best!! We stopped by after our visit to the Witch Museum and this gem is located across the street. We tried the Milky Way cookie with vanilla soft serve. FRICKIN delicious, the cookie was baked to perfection, warm and paired nicely with the ice cream. We also got the Carrot Cake, also FRICKIN delicious and baked to perfection. The center was filled with a nice dollop of vanilla frosting and tasted just like a slice of carrot cake. We devoured them and unfortunately didn't snap a photo. Big shoutout to Dylan and Amanda for the great service!!:) 10/10 highly recommend!!

Late night warm gooey soft cookies and a ice cold glass of milk. Place your order and then watch the magic of making your cookies! Listen for your name to be called and then enjoy! Customer service was A+. Looking forward to our next visit.

You walk in and order your fatties or soft serve and they offer milk. You get to watch them make everything. It's a really cool place with a space theme. Definitely recommend 10/10

Drove up from Boston to try this place out finally! Eat the cookies while they're still warm and make sure to get some milk to wash it down! Once the cookies cool they get pretty hard in my opinion. The cookies live up to their name and are nice and thick. I love the texture of them and the differing flavors every week make it even more fun to try out! Worth checking out if you're near the area

Brian K.

Yelp
Funny name, great cookies. Not sure if the name makes me feel good about eating them, but we got over it. The cookies are serious fatties. Nice and think, definitely taste fresh although I don't know if they are. They ran out of milk, and I really wished about halfway through a cookie that I had it. Even so, still a 5 star because the cookies are so good and it actually feels like a Salem experience. Ton of people in line but the line went fast. Not a lot open at night, so looks like everyone comes here. We had the milky way, snickers and kit kat fatties, all good.

Nick G.

Yelp
Cool low key late night cookie spot in Salem. I feel as if no one knows about this place (which is a good thing). Line was long but goes by super fast because it is cookies they are making. Staff was very friendly. Looks cool and cosmic inside. Ended up ordering the 100 Grand Fatty. And some chocolatey fatty. Both tasted absolutely delicious. Soft on the inside, melted with goodness. Highly recommended

Shannon P.

Yelp
I had walked over 10K steps that day and sweating. Just the right condition to stop by this yummy dessert place. I opened the front door and wham! Wafts of delicious smelling cookies hit my nose. Without much ado, I ordered a warm, gooey, fresh from the oven dark chocolate cookie with a glass of cold milk. It came out to be about $6. So yummy. I think this place's cookies might be a strong contender for Levain.

Harry S.

Yelp
This is a very cool dessert spot. There is an emphasis on baked goods but we got the soft serve. It was my first time having vegan ice cream and it was really good. There was also a nice area outside to play corn hole, jenga, etc.

Milk and cookies were top tier. The greatest snack on a rainy day. Happy witching Salem!

To start off, Fatty's is such a great little corner tucked away. It's bright, it's retro, it's such a fun contrast to everything happening in Salem. Then! The cookies, the Fatties, are some of the best cookies I have ever put in my mouth. They have fun flavors, great textures, and vegan options. Pair that with ice cream and you have heaven in a bowl. The staff is quick and kind, if you have a sweet tooth in Salem, come get your fatty.

Rebecca E.

Yelp
Goodnight Fatty was such a blessing to find in the mist of our Salem adventure. Yes there was a line and we had to wait. But these cookies were so worth it. Fresh cookies dressed with delicious flavors and toppings right in-front if you. And I loved how they offered milk to make the perfect late night snack. Inside decor was really cool too. Appreciated the outdoor seating even though it was chilly. We enjoyed Goodnight Fatty and will definitely return in future trips.

Goodnight Fatty, Salem MA The flavors of the night was were: Fruity Pebbles Fattie - vanilla cookie dough with white chocolate chips and fruity pebbles cereal Midnight Fattie - chocolate dough, pecans, chocolate chips, heath toffee, and salted caramel chips Oreo Fattie - Oreo pudding dough, chocolate chips, and smashed oreos

5 Stars are not enough! My family and I recently discovered this Gem 1.5 months ago, and we visit Salem at least twice a month (we live in Boston) for the past 8 years or so. We are dumbfounded as to why this place doesn't have a line stretching around the corner for their delicious items! If they had a location in Boston's South End neighborhood, without a doubt, that would certainly be the case. I witness on a daily basis here in Boston, long lines for establishments that are not half as good as what Fatty's turns out. We are enthusiasts for their Breakfast "Savory" and "Sweet", and their location is now our 1st Stop anytime we visit Salem. We've eaten here 3 times in the past month and this place is consistant with truning out mouth watering items to enjoy on your own to share with friends and family. We can not recommend this place highly enough!

These cookies are to die for. Used to live and salem and this place is now a staple on the north shore. Highly recommended

WOW. This place is as good as they say it is! We went right when it opened and it wasn't too busy. But the line got long. They have such a good system where they get people in and out. The cookie was sooo good and warm and smooshy!! Delicious.
