I moved an hour away from the Cookie Co. a few years ago and not a day goes by where I don’t miss it, whether it’s for the wonderful variety of cookies themselves, excellent array of espresso and non-espresso beverages, personable and friendly service, or delightful pastries. This is the definition of a family owned and operated business and you just can’t beat it. Their prices are fair in a world of ever changing add-ons and service fees, and exactly the kind of business I enjoy supporting and encourage you to give it a try! Insider tip: keep an eye out for daily cookie of the day and seasonal specialties. They also ship!

Great local spot always warm and welcoming. Great coffee but even better cookies and pastries. It is fun and very comfortable to be here, the staff is great and the people watching 5 stars

The ginger spiced cookie is divine. After this and the ginger ice cream from Cowlick, ginger is my new favorite flavor. The double chocolate cookie is also soft, buttery and crunchy around the edges. I get the hype now.

The best cookies ever! I have them shipped to my friends throughout the state--huge hit! Everyone who comes to visit me insists on daily trips for their delicious coffee and fantastic cookies. Highly recommend! And the staff is great!

I heard these guys got a negative review. I overhead this as I was in line behind people who come from Sacramento to get these cookies. I am from Reno and come here a few times a year. The first place I stop is Mendocino cookie company. Someone does not know what a great cookie tastes like! I feel bad for them

Love the location in the heart of downtown and the ladies working the shop were so friendly to us and our kids. The cookies were yummy and a good price. Our favorites were the chocolate chip and the brownie. Hoping they have the cinnamon sugar cookie on the menu for the day when we return!

I come from Sacramento area every year excited for the Mendocino cookie company and every year they never disappoint! The atmosphere is amazing and welcoming and the cookies always taste fresh and last for days with that fresh taste. I love to take them home back to woodland and show them what they are missing!!! Highly recommend this place.
