Aliu IsaThere’s nothing more heartwarming than smelling the aroma of classic chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven. But let’s face it, who has time or energy to bake them?
Luckily, we live in Toronto which has some of the best cookie places in Canada. We’re talking gooey double chocolate chip cookies, chewy oatmeal raisin delights, and melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter masterpieces—yum!
As a local foodie, it’s my job to taste-test all the city has to offer. So grab a glass of milk, because here are the best cookie shops in Toronto that will keep you hooked for life.

Born from the pandemic, Andrea’s Cookies in High Park has quickly become a local favorite. Serving a weekly rotating menu of six different flavors from their charming takeout cookie window, owner Andrea offers gourmet soft-baked cookies.
From classic chocolate chip to unexpected and seasonal flavors like lemon poppyseed, there’s definitely something for everyone. And their cookies are so soft, chewy, and packed with flavor—you won’t be able to resist!
The only downside is that their cookies sell out fast (usually gone by late afternoon), so be sure to plan your cookie run accordingly. Also, don’t forget your card since they only offer cashless payments.
Pro Tip:
If you really want to elevate your Andrea’s Cookies experience, heat up one of their delectable Cookie Butter cookies for a few seconds in the microwave. This will make the cinnamon flavor truly shine!

The moment you walk in, you’re hit with the irresistible aroma of butter—a clear sign of amazing things to come. As for their cookies, they’re the stuff of dreams—thick, chewy, and loaded with flavor.
Their chocolate chip cookie, in particular, is a crowd favorite. It boasts thin, crispy edges and chewy middles, with a sprinkle of salt on top.
This cookie comes highly recommended by a well-known food blogger, and it’s easy to see why!

In March 2020, during the pandemic, Ian Moores set out on a mission to create the best-tasting cookie on earth, and what began as a passion project soon turned into an obsession. Thus, Courage Cookies was born.
Their cookies are seriously amazing, with unique flavors like the Angel Pillow and the Whisky Pecan. The Angel Pillow—their first signature cookie—is like a cloud of cookie goodness, while the Whisky Pecan packs a nutty and boozy punch.
The shop itself is a fun and inviting space with a selfie corner—perfect for sharing your cookie adventures on social media. Plus, they’re committed to giving back to the community, donating a portion of their profits to charity.

Bakerbots Baking is a tiny bakery with a huge personality—their minimalist space might be small, but their cookies are anything but. They’ve got a limited menu, but trust me, it’s packed with flavor.
For instance, their ice cream cookies are absolutely fab. We think their Cap’n Peanut Cookie is pure genius—it’s chewy, packed with peanut butter, and has these amazing shards of caramel.
They’re also famous for baking fresh each day. To make sure everyone gets a taste, they place daily limits on same-day takeaway items: three per kind and one pint of banana pudding per person without a 48-hour preorder.
Pro Tip:
Bakerbots Baking’s decadent tarts, creampuffs, and cupcakes hit the shelves at noon daily. For the widest variety, aim for a 1 PM visit.
But remember, their most popular treats often sell out between 4 and 6 PM, so the early bird gets the cookie (or pastry)!

Forget waiting in line for stale treats, Sweet Flour Bake Shop is all about the cookie-baking experience. You can watch as your custom cookie comes together, from choosing the dough to adding your favorite mix-ins.
Their cookie dough options are classic: original, peanut butter, and oatmeal. But don’t let that fool you, the combinations are endless—you can go crazy with chocolate chips, nuts, fruit, or sprinkles.
We’re also obsessed with their signature cookie sandwich. The shortbread is light and sweet, and the baked cookie is dense, buttery, and sugary, with a yummy mix of your chosen add-ins.
Pro Tip:
For the ultimate cookie experience at Sweet Flour Bake Shop, pair your freshly baked cookie with a beverage. We recommend either a refreshing glass of their organic Ontario milk or a rich cup of smooth Ideal Coffee.

Coco’s is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a dessert lover’s paradise. Owned by Bilyea, a self-taught baker who worked as a pastry chef for Anthony Rose of Rose and Sons, this spot is a must-visit for any dessert lover.
You absolutely have to try their massive chocolate chip cookie, which is nearly as big as your head and covered in a generous sprinkling of mini chips. This cookie is a perfect balance of crispy edges and a gooey center, with a delightful crunch from every bite.
Pair your cookie with one of their espresso-based coffees. We recommend their hazelnut-tasting Man on Mars, but for the fruit-inclined, they also offer a unique Blueberry Muffin blend that’s worth a try.
Pro Tip:
If you’re in the mood for something savory to go along with your cookie, go for Coco’s breakfast sandwich. It features bacon, egg, whole cheddar, and sweet hot honey butter on an angel biscuit—the mix of honey and hot sauce brings a bit of zing!

Founded in 2019 by chemists-turned-night-time-bakers and big-time foodies Mitch and Leanne, The Night Baker is a must-visit for cookie lovers. Inspired by the desserts they grew up with in the Philippines, their recipes offer a unique and delicious twist.
Each cookie is painstakingly measured out for consistency—we expect nothing less from chemists! One signature cookie you have to try is The Mistachio—it features a matcha, studded with bold white chocolate and pistachios.
You can also enjoy a cup of drip coffee by Ezra’s Pound, a plant-powered espresso bar and roastery. A sip of this local favorite with a bite of your chosen cookie is certainly something to look forward to!
Pro Tip:
For a traditional taste of the Philippines, try their limited edition Ooh Bae cookie. This unique creation combines cheesecake batter with cookie batter and is stuffed with ube jam—it also boasts a distinct starchy ube flavor that’s simply irresistible!

Romi’s was created by acclaimed Israeli chef Tomer Markovitz. Inspired by his mom’s recipes and a lifetime of global flavors, he has crafted a menu that’s a beautiful blend of Hungarian, Libyan, Middle Eastern, and North African influences.
Their team whips up every treat in-house, using only the freshest ingredients. While they source their pita bread from the renowned Angel Bakeries in New York, everything else, from marinades to dough, is made from scratch daily.
One absolute must-try is their Double Chocolate Chip Cookie—a colossal treat packed with gooey chocolate. It’s the kind of cookie that’s big enough to share, but you might be tempted to hoard it all for yourself.
Pro Tip:
We recommend washing down Romi’s giant cookies with a juicy Rosewater Hibiscus Spritz, a refreshing blend of floral notes and citrus tang. Or, go for their minty Limonana Spritz for a cool and invigorating contrast.

Le Gourmand is a beloved Spadina neighborhood spot, known for its warm, inviting atmosphere and, of course, its incredible cookies. This lively cafe has been a local favorite for years, drawing in a loyal crowd of nearby residents and office workers.
The bakery boasts a classic Toronto charm with its wood accents and checkered tile floors. It’s definitely the kind of place where you can comfortably enjoy a delicious cookie and a good book.
Speaking of cookies, we particularly love their walnut and chocolate chip combination. The cookie is perfectly balanced, with a crisp exterior and a chewy, nutty interior—the kind of cookie that keeps you coming back for more.
Pro Tip:
Le Gourmand also serves bistro-style sandwiches for those who want to pair their cookies with lunch. With ingredients like pancetta, roast beef, poached salmon, and curry chicken, there’s something delicious for everyone!
