Lei'd Cookies

Love the unique "around the world" inspired flavors here! The mango sticky rice cookie is to DIE for!!! 🤤🤤🤤 The center of the cookies has a rich dense chewy texture similar to cookie dough 😍 The guy that was serving me was so incredibly kind and sweet!!! You can tell that they care about what they do here!!! Please support this amazing local business 🙏

I’m a cookie addict and a lover of tropical flavors so when I saw this place, I had to try them. These cookies are incredible! Love the passion fruit, the guava, and the chocolate ones too. Everything is amazing!

Hubby was out on the westside and decided to pick up some treats to take home -- and I'm so glad he did cuz these cookies were uhhhhhhmazing!! My ultimate favorites were the Strawberry Passionfruit and the Mango Sticky Rice because of the fruit chunks in the the cookie and then fresh frosting that's placed on top of the cookie upon ordering!! Each cookie had a nice crisp exterior with an extra soft/chewy center!! He said the staff were helpful and friendly, and I'm a sucker for orchids, so as soon as I saw the exterior decor, I was in awe of the pics!! I'd definitely make a trip to try their other flavors!! 🍪 Strawberry Passion Fruit 🍪 Mango Sticky Rice 🍪 Cannoli Cookie 🍪 Guava Goat Cheese 🍪 Hawaiian 🍪 Cardamom Pistachio

I feel so lucky to be close to the shop. Lei’d cookies is such a next level. First I was very skeptical but I was wrong. It’s beyond the cookie, it has so much flavor in one cookie. It comes in a very beautiful box which makes a perfect holiday gift.

Lei'd Cookies is by far my favorite cookie shop in LA! I've been driving by Lei'd for a while and finally got the chance to try it. I ordered the Strawberry and Passionfruit cookie, Ube and Matcha cookie, and Brown Butter Salt Chocolate Chip cookie. I'm not a huge fan of overly sweet desserts, but these were perfectly satisfying and not too sweet. The Strawberry and Passionfruit cookie was so addicting; I typically am not a fan of fruit or tart flavored cookies but these were so good! I could really taste the quality and freshness in the ingredients for all of the cookies. They're chewy and soft while having a crispness to the outer layer. Will definitely come back and try the other cookies!

We live locally and love going to Lei'd for a sweet treat! My favorites are the guava cheese and strawberry passionfruit, and my husband loves the classic chocolate chip. All of the flavors are unique and delicious - we've tried them all. The owners and staff at the shop are friendly and helpful. They are also on Too Good To Go and we've gotten 4 day-old cookies for just $9.99! What a steal!

I first tried this place via 2good2go which are usually a day after cookies. I tried them fresh and have a much different outlook. Soft, chewy, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. I tired the mango sticky rice cookie, the Hawaiian (macadamia white chocolate), guava cheese, and passion fruit. All of them were fire. $5 each but worth the price if you enjoy quality baked cookies.

It’s just been one of those days (you know the ones) and I didn’t feel like making the evolved choice today.. so I went looking for cookies instead of the gym. The Black owned bakery I was looking for in West Adams is actually closed until January so I thought I’d give Lei’d Cookies a try.. (also Black owned) I’m glad I did! Today I ordered one brown butter chocolate chip cookie and one guava cheese cookie. It was my first time and I didn’t expect such an interesting menu to be honest… So I had a tough time making a decision. To my surprise, the woman at the register, who is also one of the co-owners was so kind as to double my chocolate chip order and gift me a bonus cardamom cookie too! Contrary to the norm, I was patient enough to wait until I got home to bite into one and oh my goodness, if you are debating — give this bakery a try! Each one is so delicious! I’ll be back. 😊

Delicious cookies and a great dessert to pick up on the way home from dinner. We shared a strawberry passion fruit cookie and it was amazing. I'm usually not a fan of cream cheese, but it worked well on this color. The cookie is big and it was the perfect size to share with my husband. Friendly service and such a cute store.

I've been wanting to try out Lei'd Cookies for the longest time, and I'm so glad I finally did! I ordered through UberEats since they had a great promotion. The cookies were huge! Despite being delivered, they came really fresh, warm, and chewy with perfect crispy edges. The Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Topped with Flaked Sea Salt was a classic elevated to another level topped with flakey sea salt-- I loved the gooey semisweet chocolate pieces since this came warm. The Mango Sticky Rice was honestly my favorite of them all. It had a mochi consistency and was filled with the right amount of dried mango pieces topped with the tastiest coconut sticky rice. The Fruity People Cereal Cookie was super unique and surprised me-- you can taste the Fruity Pebbles and they were surprisingly still maintained their shape and crisp. The Hawaiian was delicious with tons of coconut and chocolate. The Cardamom Pistachio was really full of cardamom flavor, a bit too much for my palate. But it was still great and had lots of pistachios studded throughout. I cannot wait to try other flavors in the future. They are so good. You must try if you're in the area!

I got Lei'd Cookies from Too Good To Go and it was genuinely one of the best cookies I've had. I would gladly come back and pay full price for them! The ube matcha was my favorite - as an ube lover, I've had all kinds of ube sweets throughout the years, but this one was definitely one of my favorites. The cookie had crispy edges and soft, chewy centers. I'll definitely have to come back and try the other flavors in the future!

I am a huge fan of mango sticky rice so I was very excited to try the cookies here. I decided to get a box of 4 since I was very intrigued by the other Asian flavors here as well so I got the S'mores, Buko Pandan, and Ube as well. I wish they had a discount if you got a box of 4 but unfortunately it's the same price per cookie. The mango sticky rice surprisingly came with dried mango inside the cookie and sticky rice on top. I usually like my cookies soft and chewy so the really hard dried mango inside wasn't my favorite. The other flavors were also just okay and I feel like I've had better. The store itself is very small and there's a small table for seating outside. Street parking is limited but not super hard to get. Overall would recommend trying the cookies at least once since they have a large variety but probably wouldn't go back.

I am so happy I finally got to try Lei'd cookies today! I stumbled in after running an errand in the area and as soon as I walked through the door the display of all their cookies and descriptions were such an eye catching draw into this this magical shop (see photo). Leilani was so patient and kind with walking me through all the different flavors and making some great recommendations for my first Lei'd cookies purchase...and it most definitely won't be my last. We are both proud Filipinas and I'm excited that she might be expanding more Filipino desserts and flavors into her delicious carb rotation. I highly recommend making the trip to experience the in shop purchase experience. Thanks Leilani for the great convo today and scrumptious treats...I'll be back soon!

Using Smorgasburg as a springboard to something more personal Leilani Terris and James Lewis took over a former Ice Cream shop in Culver City late-2023, "Cookies so good, you'll feel like you just got Lei'd!" not only catchy but fairly accurate for unique flavors that still retain a crisp rim and soft center. Globally inspired but locally owned, quality Ingredients immediately differentiating Lei'd from cake-like competitors such as crumbl, it is inside the space at 8588 Washington Boulevard that guests will encounter charming customer service and a vibe matching the island theme. Changing the menu seasonally, though Mango Sticky Rice remains a signature for good reason, guests visiting in December will find holiday-themed Egg Nog Creme Brulee that outpaces expectations while Triple Ginger Molasses is just sweet enough to match its bold aromatics. Not holding back with Black Sesame dough wrapped around Raspberry Mochi, each bite reminiscent of a PB&J Sandwich, even "standards" like Oatmeal get upgraded by flavors like Orange Walnut while Lie'd's Snickerdoodle takes a Latin spin with Guava Jam.

ive heard about lei'd cookies on tgtg. but this shop a bit out of the way for me. but i was in the area and had to stop in! tbh, ALL the flavors sounded so delicious! i love that each cookie is "from" different countries! that is so neat. i have never seen that at any bakeries. the customer service was great. the gal that helped me saw that i was wearing a spark paws sweatshirt and connected with me on that note! i couldnt decide on which one i wanted. but the guava cheese was calling me so i got that one. and oh em geeeeeeee!!! it was so good. baked to perfection. it was a soft and packed with flavor in each bite. i will def be back to get more there is seating inside and out. the shop was clean and organized. loved all the plants. parking: metered street

This is kind of a hidden gem unless you happen to be in the neighborhood. I got the oatmeal walnut cranberry cookie and it was a pretty well balanced cookie where it didn't taste too sweet, the employees were also helpful in explaining whqt the options were. Only thing I wish was that cookies were a bit warm or could be warmed up

Honestly ... thought this place would be better after hearing about it. The cookies were fresh but they come out kind of soggy... Service was fine, nothing special as they just give you the cookie and you pay. No seating so ambiance is take and go. These are very sweet cookies though.

I have a huge sweet tooth so when I heard about Lei'd Cookies through reddit I had to try it for myself! Below they are ordered from my least to most favorite. FLAVOR (4.2/5): 1. EGG NOG CREME BRULEE: I'm not a huge fan of egg nog - it's bubble gummy to my taste so I probably set this cookie up for failure... If you like egg nog you may like this. 2. BLACK SESAME RASPBERRY MOCHI: This cookie has mochi inside, which makes for a fun surprise. I liked the black sesame flavor but the flavor of the raspberry mochi felt too artificial - almost like a candy gummy flavor rather than a subtle fruity one. 3. UBE & MATCHA: The ube matcha tastes good, but I think the ube and matcha flavors could be stronger. I get more "cookie" than ube & matcha. This and the black sesame are tied for me. 4. MAYAN: The Mayan is a spicy take on chocolate - it's fun, interesting, and overall a solid cookie. 5. MANGO STICKY RICE: The mango sticky rice was divisive amongst my friend group - if you're expecting a 1:1 interpretation of the actual dessert, then you probably won't like this. I personally enjoyed it, but it wasn't a love. The sticky rice texture was fun and I liked the pieces of dried mango you get in each bite. 6. S'MORES: The s'mores was great, as expected. Strong with the chocolate at first bite, so chocolate lovers you will like this one! 7. BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP: If you're looking for a simple, solid cookie with none of the frill, this one is for you. The browned butter adds so much flavor and softness to this classic cookie. 8. GUAVA CHEESE: The guava cheese smells just like the Porto's guava cheese pastry! Super yummy, hence why it's ranked #2 for me. 9. STRAWBERRY PASSIONFRUIT: This was my favorite cookie of all the ones we tried, which surprised me! I'm not a huge fan of passionfruit, but the cream cheese and strawberry balanced out the tartness beautifully. The cream cheese topping was genius - it kept the cookie soft even a day or 2 later. If you only got one cookie from Lei'd Cookies, I highly recommend this one. SERVICE (5/5): Service was amazing! Super pleasant and helpful - it felt like I was talking to a friend. PARKING (2/5): Street parking - I got lucky but during peak hours I imagine it can be hard to find a spot. TAKEAWAYS: One of the advantages of living in a big city is that unique local businesses like Lei'd Cookies are given an opportunity to thrive. Here we have a solid dessert spot that offers one-of-a-kind flavors that you can't find anywhere else - they have interesting takes on cookies inspired by a variety of cultures, from Mexican to Thai to Japanese. They even have vegan and gluten-free options! I would definitely come back for the Strawberry Passionfruit, but I also want to try the Snickerdoodle and Flourless Brownie.

Delicious cookies with great service. I got a variety of 10 cookies, the high light being the matcha ube. I would come back here just for for this.

Awesome cookie bakery! Their whole business is built on exploring different flavors from around the world in a cookie form - similar to Wanderlust creamery. I tried their mango sticky rice, passion strawberry, ube matcha, guava cheese, and strawberry matcha, and all were really delicious! Standouts were: mango sticky rice and passion fruit strawberry. The mango sticky rice was pretty substantial and can pass for a scone, but really embodies this classic Thai dessert. The passion fruit strawberry was tart and sweet and crispy and gooey - my preferred type of cookie. Will definitely be back to try more flavors!

Lei'd Cookies has Hawaiian inspired flavors. They've been on my list-to-try for awhile and saw them pop up on Too Good To Go. There's some street parking in the neighborhood or meters along Washington. For the cookies: The variety box came with four cookies and I'm not sure which ones I got. The cookies are not too sweet and have a nice chewy texture. I definitely prefer this type of cookie! This spot is a little out of the way for me, but if I'm going to Pasta Sisters or Father's Office down the street, I'd happily stop by for dessert.

The LA Times published a piece on the coveted cookie cookeria Lei'd Cookies. Since then, I had long pondered what this establishment had to offer. Have the LA Times lowered their stakes, or was this establishment truly deserving of such acclaim? These questions kept me riveting with rumination at night. On December 23rd, I finally placed an order for pickup. It was a box of five-- Mango Sticky Rice, S'more, Santa's Treat, Mexican Hot Chocolate, and Snickerdoodle. When we entered, James immediately welcomed my two brothers and me. James is a founder who has earned the reputation of being a courteous cookie connoisseur. Then, we spotted Leilani whipping out orders to customers faster than a cow dodging a branding iron. Before diving into each treat, we'd like to commemorate Lei'd Cookies. While other cookie businesses play it safe with orthodox flavors, they opt for a far more risky approach. And they nail it! The Mango Sticky Rice gave me a texture I've never tasted before, with its pieces of mango and sticky rice on top. It was chewy, flavorful, and unique. Mango Sticky Rice merits its title as most popular. All three of us agreed that it was our favorite. Onto the holiday special, Santa's Treat. This cookie was brilliantly splashed with numerous holiday flavors including peppermint, salted caramel, double chocolate, and pretzel. It had a similarly chewy, crumbly texture. Shame that it's a holiday exclusive. Our next sweet, round, and brown victim was the S'more. The roasted marshmallow topping was exceptional. Santa's Treat and S'more were neck-to-neck for second place. This review isn't complete without a reflection on the Mayan. The delta between opinions was interesting. I personally believed the flavor was innovative. One of my brothers didn't enjoy the pepper. Like every other cookie, the consistency didn't disappoint. My vegetarian brother demanded the Snickerdoodle. He remarked that it was an excellent vegan cookie unlike others. The final verdict: Lei'd Cookies is worthy of its veneration. Thank you James and Leilani for the outstanding service. You will be seeing us again.

The flavors are there but overall I wouldn't crave the cookies. Most of them seemed to have a sugar cookie base, which wasn't really my favorite. Strawberry Passionfruit: both flavors worked together really well, sweet and tart. Slightly chewy texture. Was my favorite of the batch. Guava cheese: best one of all. Good guava flavor. Mango sticky rice: very cakey. Flavor was fine but wouldn't get again. S'mores: had a strong cinnamon flavor which I didn't love. Which there were marshmallows inside Friendly service. The store didn't have the vibe to chill and hangout, but they have plenty of room to do so. Parking was easy on the streets.

Ambiance: the small cookie store is located on Washington blvd, and they make fresh cookies daily Service: friendly staff and patient with questions Food: they have unique flavors of cookies inspired by different regions of worldwide Mango Sticky Rice - **** loaded with chunks of mango, and coconut flakes then topped with the unique blend of Thai coconut-rice sauce, it's very creamy and tasty, recommend Price: each cookie costs about $5

I don't know why it took me so long to leave a review! If you are looking for something sweet or the best cookies in all of Los Angeles County... This is your place! I've tried almost every single flavor. I drive all the way from Granada Hills, just for these cookies! That should tell you how good these are! Not only is the staff super friendly. The ambience is very warm and inviting. I literally crave these cookies weekly. Please do yourself a favor and the owners of lei'd; go now!!!! I promise you won't be disappointed!

A small shop that specializes in unique cookie flavors located on the Washington Boulevard stretch of Culver City. During the time of my visit, the guys working here were really chill and helpful. I've seen these cookies popping up on my social feeds for a while now. I've had this bookmarked for a while, but never been able to get over here. Finally I decided to grab lunch in the area and noticed that this was right down the street from where I ate. I wanted to try the really popular flavors which were the strawberry passionfruit and the mango sticky rice. I also got the Hawaiian cookie for good measure. I would probably say the strawberry passionfruit was my favorite. I am a big fan of passionfruit and you don't usually see that as a flavor and cookies. At five dollars a cookie these cookies aren't exactly cheap, but compared to other high-end cookie stores, it seems to be almost going rate these days. So it doesn't feel super expensive. I was able to find street parking very easily on a Friday afternoon.

I don't know how they do it, but these cookies are consistently amazing!! And the flavors are so creative. Never disappointed when I visit their physical location or their spot at Smorgasburg

Cute little cookie place in Culver City. Adequate space inside with tables & chairs outside. Two guys working the shop and they were very nice and patient with the time I took to pick flavors. Lots of interesting and exotic cookie flavors which I liked. In general, the cookies are moist and soft with a little crunch on the edges. All of the cookies were fairly large in diameter but on the thinner side. The mango cookie was the thickest but smaller in diameter. Ordered a box of five for $20 (if you buy 1, it's $5 each) Guava - thick guava preserve inside the cookie. I love guava so flavor is delicious. Very sweet though. Strawberry matcha- I taste the strawberries but not so much the matcha. Matcha green is visible all over the cookie. Passion fruit- this flavor is a favorite of mine, some sort of cream or custard on top with passion fruit. Yummy, wish the cookie was thicker. Ube Matcha - unfortunately, I really couldn't taste the Ube or matcha even though Ube purple and matcha green is all over the cookie. Lastly... Mango Sticky rice - since I absolutely love mango, this was my favorite out of the five cookies I got. Lots of mango fruit in the cookie and the cookie was not too sweet which I prefer. Unfortunately, they ran out of sticky rice which I was told prior. I didn't mind so much because all I wanted was mango. I'll come back and I'll get more mango sticky rice next time!

Stopped by the Smorgesburg Lei'd Cookies stand, I've been here a couple of times, and I'm always impressed by their innovative flavors and cookie quality! The s'mores and brown butter cookie were amazing! I really wanted to like the mango sticky rice cookie, but it just wasn't for me. It has a good amount of coconut and I don't really like coconut. Really great service, they're so nice here and they gave me a matcha and ube cookie for free!

Read about this cookie shop in the LA Times, was in Culver City, and decided to try some cookies -- glad we did .... sooo yummy! They have several flavors to choose from and some were still warm -- right out of the oven. We picked the four for $20 box with Mayan Chocolate (very SPICY), Guava Cheese, Cannoli and the Strawberry-Passion Fruit with the icing added right when we ordered it. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable. Can't wait to go back and try all of the other flavors! There are a few seats inside, and street parking only.

Lei'd Cookies offers a great selection at average L.A. prices ($5 each), with flavors ranging from classic chocolate chip to adventurous combinations. They're aren't open every day so check ahead. I've tried several different types but I'm a traditionalist- chocolate chip hits the spot every time and is very dependable.

We got every cookie besides the Mayan, Cereal, and Duck Egg. My entire family tried them to give their opinions and the only cookie we liked was the Hawaiian and Ube Matcha. The s'mores, snickerdoodle, and oatmeal raisin all tasted the same. They all just had something missing and felt like experiment cookies. The chocolate chip cookie was super thin and not good. Probably the first time I didn't finish a chocolate chip cookie. Their most popular the guava goat cheese was good just not my favorite as the texture made it feel more rich than it needed to be. The worst was the flourless chocolate cookie as it was like 99% dark chocolate. Me and my mom both spit it out. Overall, if you want interesting cookies go ahead, but even the basic cookies were not good. Don't recommend.

I love these cookies so much! The husband and wife team - Jay & Leilani - of Leid are so sweet. There are so many cookie shops around town but they're unique flavors make this worth your stop. They also have rotating new flavors being introduced each month. There's a cute little gift section and beautiful crystals for sale if you're on the way to a birthday party. Parking can be a little tough, but so worth it to taste these delightful ingredient and homemade flavors For instance, their mango, sticky rice has real strips of mango. I'm not talking tiny pieces I mean large strips. You just don't find cookies like these anymore

Stopped by to pick up half a dozen of cookies for the first time and I am happy that I did! Lei'd Cookies is located at the shop that Coolhaus Ice Cream formerly resided at. With a fresh new look, Lei'd stands out with the beautiful orchid mural giving the front a tropical feel. Inside, is a map of the world, which highlights one of the many aspects as to what makes it unique- cookies are inspired by flavors from all over the world. The cookies are priced at around $5 each and they are large (I was pretty full after finishing one) and for flavors you won't find anywhere else. On display, you will see samples of the cookies they have for the day as well as the country of origin. The cookies are moist and dense full of flavor but not over the top. I don't have a favorite yet but the ones that stood out for me in my box was the Hawaiian, the Smores, and the cardamom pistachio. The shop also carries items from local artisans from Flyplant, Rikki's candles, just to name a few. I picked up some Be Bright "Sojourner" coffee beans while I was here. Customer service was awesome. I believe one of the owners greeted me and he was pretty friendly when I was picking up my order. He gave me a bit of a background story as to how the business started and how it grew. This is definitely a small local business to look for and look after. Adding Lei'd Cookies as one of the local businesses to pick up gifts for friends and family from.

Such a cute cookie joint that's open late so you can grab a sweet treat after dinner! There are two stools for you to enjoy your cookies, but other than that there's no seating (which isn't a problem since most people bring their cookies to-go). Each cookie is $5, and I got the cannoli cookie, cardamom pistachio, guava cheese, and Mayan. Pricey for a cookie but I think it's worth it due to its size and special flavors. My favorite was the guava cheese, as it tasted just like the Porto's guava cheese pastry in a cookie! My boyfriend's favorite was the cannoli cookie. Highly recommend this spot.

THESE COOKIES LEI'D ME OUT!!! ;) I have been craving A GOOD CALIFORNIA BASED COOKIE for a while now... like one that's totally worth driving over an hour for, to get to it. Does that even exist in SoCal?!?!? Well... I FOUND IT! FINALLY!!! We've tried all sorts of bakeries and cookie artisans 'round Los Angeles, all decent options but never something that made us wanna come back again. It just so happened when we were driving home through L.A. one afternoon, an undeniable craving for cookies just hit and HAD to do that yelp thang for options lol! Nothing interesting at first sight but a new name popped up in the middle of the search... "Lei'd Cookies." On further exam, their side note claims, "So good, it feels like you just got lei'd!" Hah! I love bold claims! Let's go Fam!!! Easy to get to from the 10 FWY in Culver City with yelp directions on point. All street parking, luckily bakery is not on a busy street! Whew! Approaching the store there is a wonderful aroma in the air, and even better as you pass through the entrance! Staff is super friendly and absolutely helpful. The menu of cookies is undeniably unique and i couldn't wait to jump into my cookie box after we departed! GIMME COOKIE!! MANGO STICKY RICE: WOWZERS!!! BEST COOKIE EVER! Never have I had mangoes IN a cookie before and this place has managed to transform this popular Thai dessert into a cookie!?! That is SO NEXT LEVEL! The cookies are bigger than a Pepperidge Farm Cookie to give an idea of size, but thicker compared to it, but not as thick as Levain's cookie. Cookies are evenly cooked throughout, so no rawness in the center. Mango chunks are pleasantly moist and in EVERY BITE I TOOK! Coconut slivers are also plentiful but not overwhelming. Flavorful dough enhances the mango essence and then that topping of sweet sticky rice?!?! Oh My, OH MY! WHOOO! SO GOOD! STRAWBERRY-PASSION FRUIT: BESS! Best cookie EVER! Definitely a Quality cookie crafted but that Passion Fruit Cream Cheese Concoction on top?!? It just hypes this thang up so damn much!! YAAASSSS! I've spent some time in the Caribbean and munched on delicious, fresh passion fruit quite a bit in the past. This completely matches that memory! DEELISH! HAWAIIAN: STRAIGHT ALOHA! Best cookie EVER! Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies are SO difficult to find! Even in Hawaii! Lo and behold, what do they have here??? One of my classic favorites IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD is here! (Granted, I've added a few new favorites since I've found Lei'd Cookies!) They done it justice, too! HAD to walk out with a few of these bad boys on every visit! CANNOLI: SQUISITO! Best cookie EVER! I was not ready for how good this was! WAS NOT! The combination of ricotta cheese, orange zest, pistachios, and chocolate in the cookie is a flavor bomb to the taste buds! However, this "Cannoli Crust" they roll the cookie in?!?! It's amazing! A whole different layer texture to the cookie that is a game changer! Dare I say... BETTER THAN an actual cannoli!!! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Nom Nom level is SO HIGH! Gotta be MY FAVORITE COOKIE shop, IN THE WORLD! And it's right here in Southern California! Thank you! Lots of cookies to sample! Can't wait to come back :)

Lei'd Cookies is absolutely a must-try spot for top-of-the-line cookies with incredible flavors. Truly the only cookie place in Culver City that I visit. I first tried out Lei'd Cookies through Too Good To Go, and it was an excellent experience (and perfect introduction to their business). I've since been back to buy boxes of my favorites: the mango sticky rice (6/5 stars. Epic. Literally the perfect cookie), fruity pebbles, smores, and guava goat cheese. All are fantastic! Lei'd Cookies also sell pints of ice cream from Sad Girl Creamery at their storefront, and I cannot recommend this ice cream enough! All staff members are incredibly friendly and super helpful with providing recommendations. Storefront is small, but this is a great place for take-out!

Amazing variety. All made in-house and fresh. Great friendly service with a minority ownership. Love the aloha vibes here.

Wanted to try this place based on the reviews and I was quite disappointed. The place is very cute decorated with orchids and a tropical theme. All the cookies are out on display which is great. There are 3-4 bar seats by the table. We were greeted by the cashier who gave us some recommendations on cookies. When asked about her favorite cookie she started talking almost every one and why each were great. We decided on the matcha strawberry yuzu mochi, guava cheese and ube. Their cookie quality greatly differs in consistency and the guava cheese I got looked nothing like the display. I had to ask if they gave me the right cookie because it was so much flatter than the fluffy looking than the display. The sample was fluffy more white and had jam in it meanwhile mine looked like a flat brown butter cookie. This saddened me as I chose the guava and match specifically because they looked so fluffy in the display as opposed to some of the other flatter cookies. The cookie itself was overly greasy, but the flavor was quite nice and the guava really came through. I suspect the reason why it was so flat was that they let the dough get to room temperature before baking it or something because chilling the dough prior to cooking usually gives the cookie BM more oomph so they don't sink while baking. The matcha cookie was rather dry, and all the mochi was in the corner which was disappointing. The Ube had a great flavor and was probably my favorite, but still definitely similar to store bought cookies you could buy from the baked section or cookies from the Asian market. At $5 a cookie this place is insanely priced. There are places like levain where I think the cookie justifies the price but these cookies were just average.

Go during DINE LA week and they had a sampler of 6 smaller sized cookies of their most popular flavors. I thought that was a great way to try them without committing to a giant ass cookie. Street parking only. But cute little shop. A big variety of flavors. Worth trying again.

OBSESSED with Lei'd Cookies! The Mayan is my ultimate favorite but I haven't met a cookie there I don't like...they're always hot and fresh, with a rotation of featured flavors that sample from desserts all around the world. 12/10 ABSOLUTELY recommend

Great cookies, perfect texture and unique flavors! Mango sticky rice has a lot of mango chunks and sticky rice on top! Loved their brown butter chocolate chip cookie too, the mini was crisp on the edge and soft in the middle and perfect chocolate throughout. The Smores was torched right when I ordered it to have the perfect toasted marshmallow topping. Cannoli and the ube matcha were great too, the Mayan was a bit too spicy for me. I preferred the mini size from the dineLA set but they only do those with catering. Street meter parking was easy right in front too! They also have sad girl creamery pints, will have to come back and get one!

Come here for unique cookie flavors! Stopped by since they opened a brick and mortar on Washington Blvd (formerly Cool Haus). They have all the flavors out in front you so you can easily choose with a visual to reference. I ordered a box of 4 for $20. Mango Sticky Rice: 10/10 - so tasty with chunks of mango and the sticky rice on top. S'mores: 7/10 they torch the marshmallow on top in front of you - this one wasn't my favorite, was more chocolatey and I wish the marshmallow was inside instead of on top. Ube Matcha: 8/10 strong matcha flavor, flat and chewy! Guava Cheese: 9/10 sticky with guava pieces, I loved it but wished there was more cheese flavor. I would come back for the mango sticky rice cookie alone!

We stopped by tonight after having dinner at fathers office and it did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I barely made it to the car without eating the entire fruity pebble cookie. Which we weren't going to get BUT is now are absolute favorite. We also got the Hawaiian, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Raisin, and Brown Butter Chocolate Chip. They were all good but my faves were the Chocolate chip, Hawaiian, and again the fruity pebbles. So so good!! The staff was super friendly, we will definitely be back.

Hubby was out on the westside and decided to pick up some treats to take home to me -- and I'm so glad he did cuz these cookies were uhhhhhhmazing!! My ultimate favorites were the Strawberry Passionfruit and the Mango Sticky Rice because of the fruit chunks in the the cookie and then fresh frosting that's placed on top of the cookie upon ordering!! Each cookie had a nice crisp exterior with an extra soft/chewy center!! He said the staff were helpful and friendly, and I'm a sucker for orchids, so as soon as I saw the exterior decor, I was in awe of the pics!! I'd definitely make a trip to try their other flavors!! Strawberry Passion Fruit Mango Sticky Rice Cannoli Cookie Guava Goat Cheese Hawaiian Cardamom Pistachio

Went to dinner down the street and wanted dessert so looked up places close by and found this cute cookie place. The gentleman at the counter was super nice & helpful. Came home, laid them out, cut them into pieces and did a taster taste. Guava cheese - THE BEST ONE Hawaiian - 2nd BEST Oatmeal raisin - typical but good Chocolate peanut butter - ok Cannoli - didn't care for it Travel_lifestyle_chow Cute concept!

Get your hands on these delish cookies before they sell out! A coworker once bought these in and immediately, I was a fan! I had to come back to get a thanksgiving fix for my fam. Not only are the cookies perfectly gooey yet crunchy, they're inspired by flavors from all over the world. What's sweeter than the cookies though, is the person treating us to them, Elizabeth was an absolute doll, her energy lifted my mood immediately. I will for sure be going back, and you should toooo!

This place was empty at 7pm on a Wednesday but why!!! Service was so friendly and welcoming, and these cookies were SO good, well, most of them were amazing 10/10. 5 cookies for $20 - a little bit on the pricier side, but honestly it was worth it. Mango Sticky Rice 10/10 - so chewy, such a unique cookie flavor. perfect all around. Guava Cheese 10/10 - same perfect chewy texture. the guava flavor isn't too overwhelming and the cheese flavor compliments the fruitiness so well. Smores 10/10 - Fruity Pebble Birthday Cake 1/10 - not good.. might be subjective, but not our thing Brown Butter Chocolate Chip 7.5/10 - not as soft and chewy as the other cookies, but the flavor was still there and good Would definitely come again!

My ex had heard of the buzz Lei'd had created at Smorgasburg LA, even though she's never had a single visit to The Row on Sundays; it must have had an impact at this market! Once the store opened up in her 'hood of Culver City, she knew she had to try it....multiple times! For my birthday this year, she brought me the guava cheese, Mayan, and mango sticky rice. It was my first time trying these, and I was blown away by the Mayan! It's the perfect melange of savory, sweet, and mild spice! I've been taking it in small bites because I don't want it to end! I found the guava cheese to be a bit too sweet for me, but it was her favourite cookie. It's also the most popular cookie at Lei'd, so don't let my opinion sway you away from it! I enjoyed the mango chunks in the mango sticky rice, but she learned this night that she was not a fan of shredded coconut. Yes, there are interesting and delicious flavours here, but the real stars are the owners. They truly care about your experience, spending time to with each customer to describe the flavours with friendly gusto. My ex was seriously blown away by the service, and she even got a free cookie to try! I can't wait to try the other flavours!

The shop smells absolutely amazing! You can smell it from the street. Gor the DineLA box which includes the guava cheese, mayan, cardamon pistachio, mango sticky rice, match ube, and the brown butter chocolate chip. Also got the strawberry passionfruit and cannoli. All the cookies were wonderful but hands down my favorite were the strawberry passion fruit and the mango sticky rice. The strawberry passion fruit had wonderful strawberry and passion fruit flavor combo, one not overpowering the other and was super moist. The mango sticky rice reminded me of a sticky rice and mango Filipino dessert I used to have growing up and texture reminded me of my Nana's banana cookies, soft and moist. Friendly and quick service, and met one of the founders, James, who was very nice. 100% would come back for some cookies. Want to try their cinnamon rolls next time, too.

We went at night before closing so maybe that's why I didn't love the cookies! They were underwhelming and kind of dry. Tried the mango sticky rice cookie and a couple others. The best one was the strawberry passion fruit, definitely get that one if you go!

I've had the good fortune to try Lei'd Cookies at Smorgasburg LA several times over the past year and their cookies are always fantastic. I also saw they were a sponsor of a nonprofit fundraiser which I was super excited about except there weren't any cookies at that event so that was the only bummer! Earlier this month I went to the AAPI LA x Smorgasburg LA event and loved all three AAPI cookies that Lei'd had for the event. They were so freaking delicious and I would really love for her to add all or at least the hot salted duck egg one to her regular menu because it was so freaking good!! Their motto is something along the lines of "cookies so good you'll feel like you just got lei'd" and how perfect is that? Absolutely love her cookies!

I'm a fan! We stopped in for the Dine LA deal of the 6(?) mini cookie sampler plus a few large cookies.... and got waaaaay too many. The man working at the counter was SO nice. We ordered the Dine LA deal + 2 additional cookies and he LOADED up those boxes with extra cookies for free. We thought he threw in just a couple extra, we weren't really paying attention because we were drooling over their ice creams (also made with their cookies). We ended up getting back to the car and were so confused why our boxes were SO heavy! To our surprise we won the cookie lottery. My boyfriend ran back in and tipped him a $20 for his generosity. I will say DO NOT expect this as a regular guest... we came at the end of the day so it may of been they either had to give the cookies away or throw them away. But you never know you might get lucky! My favorite cookies were the passion fruit, strawberry cheese cake, chocolate chip, & mango sticky rice. I loved the mango sticky rice but would've loved it even more if there was more rice or even a coconut glaze like with real sticky rice. If you've been thinking of trying this place stop thinking and just do it!!

Came in on Sunday when they open at 5 pm because they spend the day at smorgasburg. I arrived around 5:15 and there was already a line of 5 groups in front of me. Everyone was purchasing multiple boxes of cookies. The service was a bit slow. The person serving the customers would get mixed up at times and had to ask customers again which flavors they were purchasing. Some groups were waiting for cookies that weren't ready yet. They would pay first and their cookie boxes would be set aside while they waited. Those customers would go off to the side and some of them got the boxes mixed up. It was my first time here and only purchasing for myself so I opted for 3 to try out. I heard someone in front of me that the mango sticky rice was a must try. Purchased mango sticky rice, smores, and brown butter chocolate chip. My favorite was the mango sticky rice and I'm glad the person in front of me said it was one to try. It has mango bits inside the cookie which I liked. They add the coconut flakes after you purchase. Kind of wish I had a bit more of the coconut flakes evenly on my cookie but overall It was definitely my favorite. Brown butter chocolate chip cookie was alright. You can't really go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie. Nice touch of a bit of sea salt on top. The edge of the cookie was a bit crunchy and the middle was soft. Least favorite was the s'more. They have the cookie ready with the marshmallow already melted on top. They torch it after you order it. I didn't like the consistency of the cookie. I was hoping for a softer cookie but the entire bottom of the cookie was crunchy. Not the type of texture I was expecting from a fresh cookie at a bakery. I didn't finish this one and tossed it. I would probably come another day and wait for fresh batches to try. The mango sticky cookie is definitely winner.

Combine great cookies with very friendly service and you get Lei'd Cookies! Some of the best cookies I've had in quite awhile, perhaps not the cheapest, but personifies the cliche "you get what you pay for." Freshly baked with quality ingredients and some interesting creations. Pictured are the ube matcha and brown butter chocolate chip, really good stuff! A local bakery worth finding!

These cookies have been popping up on my socials and I just had to try them and they did not disappoint! I ordered them for delivery and they were packaged so lovely (with an orchid blossom for extra style!) but not only that... the cookies are amazing! We got a variety box with their guava cheese, guava snickerdoodle, brown butter chocolate chip and Hawaiian and wow... you can tell they're made with quality ingredients, have such a great texture (crunchy outside and soft inside or perfectly chewy and soft). The big surprise for me was the guava snickerdoodle, perfectly balanced between the guava flavor and the snickerdoodle flavor! I also ordered a s'more cookie but they ran out so they included a free cookie and a card for another one on them coming in... that is definitely high level service and encompasses the spirit of aloha! Mahalo!!!

we got the mayan and brown butter cookie at smorgasburg and they were delicious!! the mayan cookie tastes just like abuelita hot chocolate and there's a hint of spice in it as well. definitely the most unique cookie i've had! loved it.
